    This video creates for an interesting conversation. Would love to see a follow up video to this in the future how to make Shepard Tones risers and falls.👌🙂🙂🙂. Shepard Tones are a great way to add suspension.

    • @DmitryPuffin
      @DmitryPuffin Před 2 lety +1

      Vital has nice feature that allows you easily creating shepard tones.

    • @andersskog3073
      @andersskog3073 Před 2 lety

      You can create a shepard tone effect by stacking three or more octaves of the pitch bend effect explained in this video and fading out the top octave(s) and fading in the lower octave(s) on a loop. It may be easier said than done but that's essentially what shephard tones are.

    • @SebastianBlix
      @SebastianBlix Před 2 lety

      This. I’ve seen a tut or 2 on Shepard tones but they’re ALWAYS lacking some data necessary to make a SMOOTH infinite riser. They usually say something like “stack a few pitch bends as fade the ends” but that always ends up in a Shepard tone that’s clearly repeating and not at all smooth and infinite.

    • @LifeLess1999
      @LifeLess1999 Před 2 lety +2

      this fear you speak of I know this and dealt with it when I was first starting out. It would even keep me from freezing and flattening in ableton. Turns out it is just procrastination and laziness, well it was on my part at least. Try diving into things that make you have that feeling and you will learn so much more and progress so much faster. Leveling was a big thing that was holding me back during those days, and it was because I was to lazy to learn proper leveling practices. There was just so many things to learn and there still are but now I can kind of pick and choose what I need if I feel a track is lacking.

  • @mirowalker5841
    @mirowalker5841 Před 2 lety +3

  • @Violentic81
    @Violentic81 Před 2 lety +3

    Fantastic and simple explanation. It’s also used as atmospheric risers in the deep core psytrance culture, where a long breaks are not wanted. Cuz they can brake the tripping. So you create a riser who runs as atmosphere. Mostly one kick out of the bar and the next 8-16 bars are running. Without getting boring

      @francescocolangelo6900 Před 2 lety

      Look at the spectrum as well. Increasing the power on the high freq side, filling the spectrum, results in a sense of tension. Specific chord progressions also built up tension

    A tip for users of Ableton Live with M4L: connect the pitch-bend-value to a M4L-device so you don't have to change the value manually everytime to change the preset. Or do practically the same with 'regular' automation.

I need to stop now multiple times, because it makes me nervous, and repeat some explanations that went too fast-pls don‘t forget newbies don‘t pick up as fast as an expert as you. Otherwise glad to see you exploring this topic further, its such a creative playground.

    Oh, in response to the homework you assigned in this video. Do you know how to FREEZE a track within Reason Studios 12 DAW? I keep trying to figure out how to Freeze a track like you are able to FREEZE inside of Ableton. I don't have Ableton :(. My best work around for this feature has been to use Grain Sample Manipulation synth. But it doesn't sound as good as Abletons Freeze feature.

    Sounds like a perfect job for the Octatrack and scenes. As others often say, your videos always make me wanna jump right in (which is what I'm going to do right now).
    By the way, I do see that you have a lot of gear standing around, and from what you say and show, you seem to be very familiar with them. Is there any chance to get a bit deper into that topic, improving skills, various techniques etc? Or is this too far away from this channel's concept? There were a few very cool videos (like the "how to learn any synth" and a couple of others), but they seem rather casual. :)
