This was a great follow up. So you've defined how to use this tool. Now bring it together with a mix that uses distortion curves + subtractive EQ (cuts) to add flavor to a mix versus just using EQ (boosts and cuts)... maybe those differences aren't apropos and a different set of distortion vs. X is more relevant. But I think you can squeeze one more video out of this that focuses on bringing all that knowledge forward.
@@fakshen1973 I will revisit distortion in the future but as of right now this channel looks more like a channel about distortion than music. I want to cover other topics but I will eventually do more distortion videos
...but when the world needed him most, he vanished. I just found your channel and it's simply amazing. Hope you come back soon or at the very least that you're doing great on whatever you're pursuing. Thanks for the incredible education you're providing here!
I see you haven't posted in 6 months, and I'm bummed about it. I just found your channel, but its easily one of the best production channels on CZcams. Please don't stop!
I came here on a clickbait title "You're doing saturation wrong". I don't like to be told that what I'm doing creatively is wrong, so I clicked. To my surprise, this is exactly what I love out of CZcamsrs. Very detailed analytical and most importantly, the why's. It's far too often people can tell you how to do something but never the why. +1 fan
Fantastic. It's no mystery why your videos are standing out in such a crowded content market, especially one in which super-slick video production is the norm. You're offering a level of understanding, depth, detail and clarity that no one else is, filling in a major gap in the internet audio curriculum. This channel may end up getting real popular real quick.
Big time. This guy’s content is next level. In spite of his fantastic presentation, it’s not as easily digestible as the zillions of, “3 Amazing Eeeezy Tips to Make Your Mixes Sound pRoFeSsIoNaL” videos out there. I have a feeling I will be coming back to these for quite some time.
I can only repeat what already has been said. The video series on distortion/saturation is great. In contrast to most other production/music youtube videos you actually really explain what is going on, without drifting into the typical esoteric stuff that is not really grounded in anything factual. I was just going to binge some more of your content when I realized that you sadly did not upload any more videos :(. I really hope you will eventually come back to YT and produce some more of these high quality videos. Cheers
I reached a point with music production where I can't learn anymore from youtube vids. I already know all the tricks. I've worked with producers who are running festivals etc. and they have been my only source of new knowledge besides my own experiments. These videos have actually taught me something new. I love to know the inner workings and get more theory based with everything in music, and sound design has always remained a bit of a mystery. These videos have really filled that gap and saved me hours of research. Thank you so much. I hope you will make more videos in the future.
Love how in depth this series is, finaly someone appart from Dan Worall that explains WHY one would make certain descisions, not what descisions one ought to make
EVEN THOUGH THIS IS ALL YOUVE MADE AND ITS BEEN A WHILE THIS CONTRIBUTION AND INFORMATION IS GREAT. OUT OF ALL OF THE VIDEOS ON CZcams AND CREATORS THERE IS STILL SO MUCH BS AND USELESS INFORMATION YOU HAVE TO PICK THROUGH AND I WISH THERE WERE MORE CONTENT CREATORS LIKE YOU. EVEN IF YOU NEVER MAKE ANOTHER VIDEO THESE WILL ALWAYS REMAIN VALUABLE AND HELPFUL AND WILL STAND THE TEST OF TIME. IM A BERKLEE STUDENT, BEAT MAKE/PRODUCER, MIXING AND MASTERING ENGIENEER. THE WAY YOU BREAK DOWN DISTORTION IN THIS SERIES HAS HELP ME TO RETHINK MY APPROACH TO MIXING, MASTERING, AND SOUND DESIGN AND HOW I USE MY ANALOGE AND VST TOOLS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTION.
Wow, I felt like I was being taught by a music professor in a university or a paid course! The way you explain things that are seemingly complex at first sight in such an easy to understand way is incredible! We need more people like you on CZcams. I hope you can make more videos like this in the future, even if they're not as long, just short but insightful tips would be appreciated too. 😊
I recently saw a video where a girl was flipping through male Disney characters in the “would you?” context. She landed on Shang from Mulan and was all like “this is the man you would think about for the rest of your life. He would rock your world one time and you would be ruined for everyone else.” I feel like this is exactly what sseb just did to us musically. I need this level of intellectual substance and depth in my life again 😫😩😭
I really hope you start making videos again, man! I think you've got a great attitude about everything, and there aren't people who make enough of this kind of content!
Wow I know I'm late to this but I don't think I've ever come across a creator capable of really explaining these principles in a way that's so practically helpful as well. Thank you!
I was making a song and realized i couldn't really hear the lead in the drop, then i went to check and the eq was messed up, it was cutting some of the mids, then i reset the gain of that band and it worked, after that i added some saturation, another EQ after the saturator and now it is better than it was before. The only reason i did that was because i remembered about your videos, and it helped A LOT. Please, keep up with the good content, you make awesome, high quality and helpful videos. Thanks for being so helpful and sorry for making a huge comment. (Edit: English is not my first language, so sometimes my comments might sound a bit wierd)
Brilliant work!!! The whole 3-part series on distortion feels more like a high-quality Uni lecture than a CZcams video really. Thank you so much for all your work.
Finally, CZcams pushing some quality content........I discovered your OTT video and then watched every single video in the channel as of now without blinking once. You are doing great in respect of creating tutorials on topics that nobody discusses about. This is the exact stuff I am trying to figure out myself. I would love to see a video on compressors, the type of compressors, how it affects a signal before EQ, after EQ, before Saturation, and After saturation.......what are transient designers/processors and what problem do they solve compared to compressors.....etc..... As of now, I am fully hooked on your style of explaining and the subtle comedic gems inside of the videos. Will be looking forward to more videos. Ps. I am so happy that you blew the fuck up....guess its time to make a comeback?
Noise reduces the perception of harsh high harmonics!!! Holy Moly, this is golden. I am learning synthesis through Syntorial and have been wondering for couple months. Why every synth has noise knob? It is to tame harshness. Now I know why ppl add background noise either rhythmic or not. So many questions answered in 3 short videos. Thank you!
These videos blow everything else out of the water. So good! I'd love to see one on phasers. Haven't found one yet that really makes the concept click. Also vocoders, which are extra interesting because of their history, but are still very mysterious to me
Don't stop. Keep the vids coming. I've learned more in your few vids than in the hundreds of other vids out there. So, if you're reading this comment - Please keep them coming! Excellent work!
Man. These videos are so good and hit all the right buttons for me. It's just such an engineer thing though. It won't help most people mix an album or pick out the right gear like other videos that most people would be searching for but it is still an invaluable tool. Even for non engineers like myself who just really want to understand the tools at their disposal to hopefully make something different to someone making new hardware we can all learn something from this. Demand makes it much harder to make this into a successful CZcams series and pushes stuff like this back into a space where, as a creative in the studio space or even someone developing music tech, you have to get lucky enough to meet someone who can understand and help you with this kind of knowledge. This is the type of understanding and knowledge that is severely lacking on the internet especially in such an educational format.
In a scene "saturated" with "this plugin is amazing" videos your channel is a lifesaver. A nice future video would be on limiting for loudness and using reverb as a mixing tool.
Thank you for your video @sseb I finished all your videos, I couldn't get enough. I found them very easy to digest, albeit the content was really complex. You are a natural and clearly you have a talent for this. I hope to see more videos from you in the future. I wish you success in whatever project you're working on now.
That was a science lesson. Your series of videos is excellent. You've clearly studied audio engineering to an exceptional level and present it very well. The only disconnect I have here, is how does this relate to the real world? If you're using a saturation plugin with a graph type input, then you can easily see what type of distortion is being applied. But if you're using one that doesn't (like Decapitator or Tape sims for example), how do you know what type of distortion that's using? The only thing we can go on is what it sounds like as we try things. How do you know if the plugin you're using is symmetrical or asymmetrical?............Hang on a minute, you're not going to suggest we read the manual are you? That's sacrilege!
I demoed the difference between symmetric and asymmetric at 14:22. It's pretty easy to to build up an ear for the differences. Experimenting is really the quickest way to figure it out, but it doesn't take long to hear the differences in tone and once you figure it out you can apply that to any plugin where the curve isn't shown.
I watched all of your videos on one breath. There's some true gold there for us goldmines! :) please don't stop making such videos, I'm already addicted ❤. Thank you for this content and comprehensive smart presentation.
Your videos should be watched by EVERY mixer. This is advice I’ve never heard before, actually using the science behind these decision making processes is incredible. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Great video! I clicked this randomly from my youtube suggestions... I guess the algorithm works sometimes, eh? So many things clicked while watching this video and terminology (like Asymmetric vs symmetric curves) that I've heard but never really bothered to understand is now clear to me.
Amazing! These are the videos I need, not the ones I deserve. Don't know if this is too big a topic but maybe you could explore loudness. I make electronic music (and I think you do too). Old engineers say crushing the master is stupid and DJ´s say its necessary. I've done nole tests on limiters and have to say the result is scary awful but I still think there's something really satisfying about a square master with kick drums smoothly transitioning to sub. Dan Worrall has some awesome videos on why crushing the master is stupid, but I think it might be interesting for someone with more sensitivity towards electronic music to explore the areas of grey. There's no right answer but I'm still interested in your two cents. Anyway thanks for the videos!!!
Casually makes the best video about distortion. I especially enjoyed the mix of great visuals, reference sounds and clear voice over. He also gave a nice sprinkle of history lessons on the top. I had considerable but blurry knowledge on this topic, but this video definitely helped me clear out and separate the different information making it much easier to navigate what type of saturation to reach for in different scenarios. Thank you!
Love all your content man - really cool and enlightening stuff! I think a natural progression would be a look at compression - maybe inc. the various styles of hardware emulating compressors that are around and what is best for different functions
Most underrated CZcamsr... most videos I've seen they be like "yeah just add this and add that" no explanation whatsoever yet they want thousands of views and likes but they don't provide any info about it
I can only agree with the other comments-absolutely fantastic content, great explanations. I suspect I’ll watch these a few times to get it all but have already learned so much. Thanks from a new subscriber!
your videos are so good at explaining the fundamentals of one subject, it's really amazing the amount of basics I can learn from just one video, really help me understand what is happening and what to expect while mixing. please come back with more videos, it's been 7 monthsss
Your videos are absolutely killer man, can't wait for your return. I love the amount of detail you present and you clearly stick out because of it. Video topic idea: the math and methods behind pitch and time stretching. It's not a topic I often see talked about yet these tools are used constantly by music producers. There's numerous underlying topics there concerning sampling theorem and I'm sure it would be an interesting rabbit hole that could span multiple videos.
What a fantastic cap to a phenomenal series of videos. I’d love to see more examples of what we should be listening for. Reverb would make a really great topic. Especially if you approach it the same way you did with saturation.
This video was A LOT MORE USEFUL than your highly technical video where you went off on tangents about the Fourier transform, without really showing functions... I've just been using distortion plug-ins without paying attention to the saturation curves, but this is straight forward enough that it's worth experimenting with! THANKS FOR THIS!! GOOD WORK!!
thanks so much for the series of EQ and clipping (also comp lol) you get me to the door to really understanding what I am mixing (still have lots more to work on...) I think it helps 90% of mixing skills looking forward to you talk about the width and depth for sound! thanks a lot!
This series is the absolute best content I've come across on production/sound engineering. And that includes paid stuff. I hope you're doing great wherever you are. It would be nice to hear from you again.
Your videos are by far the most in-depth and knowledge rich I have ever seen. Honestly a masterclass. I don't know what happened to you but I hope you're good man. Anything you would have to talk about would be a gold mine.
It makes me happy that you showed examples using izotope trasher. It's my most used distortion and the fact that it shows the actual distortion curve is perfect! Thid video really helped understand how distortion is mathematically and digitally applied. Thanks!
1:20 Hey! That's me! Great job my man. These videos are a genuine contribution to the discussion of audio for music production. Five videos and you're already up there with the greats. No kidding.
I rarely comment on videos. I must say, you are doing a really good job. I’ve been watching music production videos for 10 years and I’ve never seen anyone combine the science with the history, with practical implications in quite the way you have. What program are you using for the graphs and the graph animation?
Your videos are immense, mate. Hope you return with more. There are loads of techniques I’ve been using for years in mixing that I don’t understand the science behind. The theory of synthesis and exploring the different types would be bloody brilliant. Hope you’re good!
Ok, this is my new favorite channel on the internet. No offence, but usually when I see a music youtuber your age talking about technical side of things, I criiiiiiinge so much. In 80% of the cases, they just try to target producers for views by passing on any disillusion they currently have about mixing. Your videos are complete opposite of that. In fact, aside from music as a side hobby I worked for over a decade in broadcast indutry on various technical postitions. Not only I can fact-check 80% of things you say, but the rest 20% is new shit I just learned from you. And given the fact the rest is spot on, I'm absolutely sure the new knowledge is based in reality. There are three channels really worth looking into when it comes to mixing I think. Old Andi Vax videos, all Dan Worrall stuff ... and yours. Thank you. ❤(And pls don't give up.)
Crossover distortion was also a problem in consumer level "Hi Fi" stereo amps up to the late 1980s when "Class A" amplifiers did away with the problem - at the cost of, well, _money,_ as well as sacrificing efficiency. Nice video. I won't remember all of this, but I now have a much more solid handle on the buttons and dials in my plugins. 😉
I just discover the channel, simply the best distortion tutorial I have ever seen, the channel seems to be inactive since a while but i hope new stuff will be coming soon, keep up the amazing work you've done here, you're the 3blue1brown of music production
One of the best video’s I’ve ever seen on distortion. I learned so much, and got a lot of old lingering questions cleared up. Really how to hear more from @sseb
What topic should I cover now?
Techniques on adding depth to a mix would be nice , maybe proper methods of gain staging.
anything that would help me make loud mixes that sounds dynamic and not squished would be awesome!
Could you do a Full mixing project? Or maybe a video about recordings or vocals
This was a great follow up. So you've defined how to use this tool. Now bring it together with a mix that uses distortion curves + subtractive EQ (cuts) to add flavor to a mix versus just using EQ (boosts and cuts)... maybe those differences aren't apropos and a different set of distortion vs. X is more relevant. But I think you can squeeze one more video out of this that focuses on bringing all that knowledge forward.

Video topic idea: the math and methods behind pitch and time stretching. It's not a topic I often see talked about yet these tools are used constantly by music producers. There's numerous underlying topics there concerning sampling theorem and I'm sure it would be an interesting rabbit hole that could span multiple videos.
hats off! Serious, no bullshit jokes, no sellout, purely scholar presentation, audio/visual examples...
3blue1brown + In The Mix = sseb
What a fantastic cap to a phenomenal series of videos. I’d love to see more examples of what we should be listening for. Reverb would make a really great topic. Especially if you approach it the same way you did with saturation.
This video was A LOT MORE USEFUL than your highly technical video where you went off on tangents about the Fourier transform, without really showing functions... I've just been using distortion plug-ins without paying attention to the saturation curves, but this is straight forward enough that it's worth experimenting with! THANKS FOR THIS!! GOOD WORK!!
thanks so much for the series of EQ and clipping (also comp lol)
you get me to the door to really understanding what I am mixing (still have lots more to work on...)
I think it helps 90% of mixing skills
looking forward to you talk about the width and depth for sound! thanks a lot!
This series is the absolute best content I've come across on production/sound engineering. And that includes paid stuff.
I hope you're doing great wherever you are. It would be nice to hear from you again.
please don't stop uploading brother
Your videos are by far the most in-depth and knowledge rich I have ever seen. Honestly a masterclass. I don't know what happened to you but I hope you're good man. Anything you would have to talk about would be a gold mine.
your videos are so good and opened my eyes to a lot of possibilities. come back king 😩🙌
Don't know if it's intentional but that was one clean thumbnail preview
Just found your 5 incredible videos today, thank you so much! Hope life is treating you well
I absolutely love the level of detail you go into in these videos. I don't even know what topic i want next, i just want more!
Cover all basic DSP audio effects! & perhaps compare digital to analog? & virtual analog effects’ attempts at recreating analog inefficiencies
Please come back and make more videos. These are the best videos on youtube
It makes me happy that you showed examples using izotope trasher.
It's my most used distortion and the fact that it shows the actual distortion curve is perfect!
Thid video really helped understand how distortion is mathematically and digitally applied.
Thanks!
1:20 Hey! That's me! Great job my man. These videos are a genuine contribution to the discussion of audio for music production. Five videos and you're already up there with the greats. No kidding.
I cannot get enough of your videos to the point where I rewatch them..
“Bedroom lick” spotted. Sick video btw
I rarely comment on videos. I must say, you are doing a really good job. I’ve been watching music production videos for 10 years and I’ve never seen anyone combine the science with the history, with practical implications in quite the way you have. What program are you using for the graphs and the graph animation?
just binged all your videos! the perfect sweet-spot for me between deep audio signal theory and practical applications! please come back!
Your videos are immense, mate. Hope you return with more. There are loads of techniques I’ve been using for years in mixing that I don’t understand the science behind.
The theory of synthesis and exploring the different types would be bloody brilliant.
Hope you’re good!
This stuff is addictive! I don’t do music production, but this is must-have content.
Ok, this is my new favorite channel on the internet. No offence, but usually when I see a music youtuber your age talking about technical side of things, I criiiiiiinge so much. In 80% of the cases, they just try to target producers for views by passing on any disillusion they currently have about mixing. Your videos are complete opposite of that. In fact, aside from music as a side hobby I worked for over a decade in broadcast indutry on various technical postitions. Not only I can fact-check 80% of things you say, but the rest 20% is new shit I just learned from you. And given the fact the rest is spot on, I'm absolutely sure the new knowledge is based in reality. There are three channels really worth looking into when it comes to mixing I think. Old Andi Vax videos, all Dan Worrall stuff ... and yours. Thank you. ❤(And pls don't give up.)
YOUR VIDEOS ARE GOLD & GEMS!!!! I don't comment on CZcams and this is my first time, but I have to say this is *chef kiss*. The quality is superb.
bro why did you stop making vids? your approach is amazing. the audio world need u
Crossover distortion was also a problem in consumer level "Hi Fi" stereo amps up to the late 1980s when "Class A" amplifiers did away with the problem - at the cost of, well, _money,_ as well as sacrificing efficiency.
Nice video. I won't remember all of this, but I now have a much more solid handle on the buttons and dials in my plugins. 😉
I was gonna recommend your video about EQ's to a friend and realized you've uploaded a new video
@@sseb_music You're welcome! Your videos are great, now i understand a lot more about distortion and EQ because of you! Keep up the good work!
I just discover the channel, simply the best distortion tutorial I have ever seen, the channel seems to be inactive since a while but i hope new stuff will be coming soon, keep up the amazing work you've done here, you're the 3blue1brown of music production
dude, please come back. if not: thank you for the knowledge
One of the best video’s I’ve ever seen on distortion. I learned so much, and got a lot of old lingering questions cleared up. Really how to hear more from @sseb
I love how you use clickbaity titles and then actually deliver..! good job thanks
insane amount of knowledge here, given to us for free in a very processable manner. incredible job
Just so you know man, we really do miss you… hope you are doing great in life, still waiting for more of your videos.
Brilliant! Everything is diligently explained. Hats off, good sir.
