Good stuff and very true!

Another cool insight.

Thanks, this was very helpful.

Twitch is not a good name. You should reevaluate your artistic choices.

What’s on the back

You are waaaay ahead of me :D It must be that having a frequent and full release schedule means that you get to grips with all areas of production through to completion. My hat tips to you, my fellow Industrialist! I have been getting back into sound work lately, always happens at Autumn returns ;) Keep up the good work.

why dont you review the new yelworC. oh yeah it's actual dark electro and not gothic trance ecstasy bs

lol. you cant be serious he is still doing this crap? lol. both jersey chris's (life cwied) are idiots.

Since day 1 it has been "if you aren't a leftist then leave"

they have delusions of rotersand.

Creativity+work= inspiration. To me, at least. Cool vid.

Totally agree with the sentiment industrial is quite individual to the artist, I produced a couple of industrial dub sets and was told by someone it wasn't industrial, despite almost every sound being sourced from metallic impacts/noise/foley. Its understandable what this person had heard before didn't sound like what it was I did, the sound I made was what these noises sounded like through heavy reverb and delay FX. Its not just algorithms that get annoyed when something sounds different.

I actually agree with this opinion. However……One piece of advice I will give you guys is this, if you really want the end product to be loud, then leave at least -6db of headroom on the master buss. Even more is great. As a guy who has written, recorded and released more than my fair share of relatively successful electro-industrial/ aggrotech albums, the guys who master your recordings will only be able to really get them dancefloor loud if you don’t crush them on the master buss. I wish someone had given me that advice when I started

Still pretty dang true in 2024. Not that big of a community for industrial, most people I meet in person actually don't even know who Nine Inch Nails are and that's a low hanging fruit. But it's very true, when I started out in the mid 2000s I had to work out how to make industrial on my own, but I think it's totally fine to do that because of how experimental industrial is by nature. You may not produce something that sounds exactly like skinny puppy or NIN but you can get sucked into the same experimentation rabbit hole they probably did when they made their sounds, and then you develop your own character.

Just got introduced to your videos and I sample a lot and I use the janky microphone method need to get a zoom someday

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

any chance you could maybe find a way to sell/ share some of your unused samples..? id like to hear that. gives cool insight into what a different persons world sounds like...just a thought

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Most of us have a fantastic recording device right in our pockets at almost all times now. And iPhone, or Android phone. And if you're doing industrial, those samples don't ever have to be pristine, so you don't need a top end microphone or anything for that stuff. I record all the time with it.

You can make a piezo mic with one of those beeping speakers from post cards or old alarm clocks. Though it needs a lot of impedance to work properly (e.g. when you press the "instrument" button on your audio interface). When you solder cables to that beeping evil thing, you stick those gum like poster hanging things so it attaches to the surface properly. Try to record a glass of ice with it, and then pour some water. The crackling sounds are deep and thunderous.

Nice! This video just got saved into my sample library.

Theres an much easier way grabing Samples from KZbin, a Chrome Plugin called Sample ;-) Also i use my Smartphone with the Irig Recorder 3. A proffesional Field Recorder would be better yes, but the Irig Recorder App pusches the Smartphone to the Maximum. PS: Kickin a Garbage Can, makea a Awesome Snare Sound.

i love my studio, but i hate it. old building, rain leaks in, windowless, but that's what inspires me at the same time. i live in a poor area outside city limits, and that makes it my haven as well. as for gear, i don't have what i want, but i have what i need. Love is what makes a house, a home haha.

Case in point. The house I just moved into is next to a main road artery. Getting vocals done without the occasional, high speed, loud, "VRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOM!!!!" in the background is often a case of luck. As just a quirk of mine, to keep things sounding more raw, I used to do my vocals in one take, and one track. If something messed up, I would just redo it. I like my stuff to sound like I'm doing everything live and I actually keep things in there that most musicians would edit out. Given the fact that I do industrial music, perfection simply doesn't matter as there's literally no rules. I have a sign in my music room that says, "There's no such thing as a mistake." Sometimes, I just keep the sound of the cars zooming by in there. Other times, I do multiple takes and just copy paste the best parts of each into one track now. It goes against my previous way of doing things... but here, it kind of needs to be done sometimes.

What the f

Nice Video. The Lights works Well for me. What also works well is to close the Curtains partialy, so that a few Rays of Sunshine, shine trough the darkened Room.

It's like a room full of mouse traps and dropping a pingpong ball on it

Love that you share your insight

🔥⚡💣🔨DISTORTION!!! 🔨💣⚡🔥 (maybe? ) Industrial in many ways has the punk and DIY ethos. Plus, it has a LOT of distortion and noisy elements. Distortion is the degradation of a signal, and with so many distorted song elements , there's actually a LOT of ways to come to an awesome sounding industrial kick, lead, hi hat, etc etc. There is much much more of an acceptable amount of noise in an industrial track compared to many genres. Sadly (?), industrial music is probably not popular enough of a genre to have production tutorials that get views. I could be wrong bc I haven't dug around, but IME the quality tutorials are in techno, dnb, pop, hip hop, etc; the more popular genres that probably drawn significantly more views and providing more $$$ incentive. If there were more tutorials and info shared, there would probably be more industrial producers and the music would become more available and heard. There's the potential to water down musical diversity and creativity within the genre, but it also has the potential to do the opposite, depending on what these new producers make. I could be wrong, but it seems like industrial could be an easier genre to produce than many of the other electronic genres? I'm actually interested in getting back into it. Just found your channel, so I'm looking forward to checking out your industrial tuts!

Thanks brother thank you .. and yes it was me expressing what I was going through with my recovery close to 3yrs of recovery

Shout out to Impulse Tracker my brother!

Another well done review ….

do you work on preset sounds for album concepts? i like to set a few synths for a few songs ahead of time, then change up for the next few tracks, just to keep learning sound shaping and to have fresh ideas...the music tends to appear every few weeks all of a sudden. I call it musical diarrhea haha. but that's just me. good vid man.

Got that same shirt! Just watched your getting started in industrial recording. Great stuff.

Thanks for this ..... Always like to hear what goes on in your head

Thanks for four help and review, buddy! :)

Blackout curtains + red LEDs. Occasionally I bring out the smoke machine.

It would have been so funny if he had said "there's a tip that no-one will tell you, and that includes me," and then the video abruptly ended.

Another masterclass love how you share your insight

I just posted a video showing my setup. The song is an old one, and the video was just me trying stuff out, but setting and mood do help big time.

Thank you. I appreciate you doing this video. Always looking for new inspiration and (like you say) starting points.

😮 gonna have to check it out

Always informative . I just buy clothes and wear it lol 😂😂😂

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Back in the time we used anything as Percussion or for Sound creating when I Made music with friends.Toy Robots,Fuel Tanks,metal Bars,etc.We had an old tapedeck and a friend Made two recording microphones out of a pair of old walkman headphones.We hang them over our heads on the ceiling of the practise room.We used detuned guitars and a friend played weird tones on his Saxophone.We had a lot of fun when we were young.

*hears music in the background* "ok, guess I'll try to figure out what this is....." fuck, how many albums do you have out?

Another honest awesome review ….

What up dude

One of the little challenges I do to to keep my mind fresh is that I go to "freesound". That's where I get a LOT of sampled sounds that I use in my music. There's a link that you can click on their page that says, "Give me a random sound". What I do is that I click that link and download maybe five to ten random sounds. Then I challenge myself to make some kind of tune using ONLY those sounds. The rules are, I can mangle the sounds, cut them up, craft multiple instruments out of single sounds, etc... It doesn't matter what I do but I try to make something cool or fun with only those sounds. It really helps creatively if you get stuck. It keeps the juices flowing. I'm also an advocate of the old "One Synth Challenge". Basically, load up a VST, any one, and use ONLY that instrument to craft a whole song. It's a challenge because you have to design all kinds of different sounds with that VST and it really gets you in deep, messing around with it, whatever VST that you selected, because you want to maximize the number of totally different sounds that you can make with the instrument. And of course the rules apply from the previous challenge too. You can turn the sounds into wav files, load up your audio editor, and mess with them, building a library of new sounds beyond what they were originally. Those are two challenges I do to keep my creative juices flowing.
