yo do you have a midi Pack to purchase ? love your chords and vids!

[@SynthHackerTV]

@@anchorofcl1892 Not currently but not a bad idea!

[@superproducerthird4250]

Could you list the plugins you used please

[@merct2894]

I would love to see more videos like these just giving general creative ideas, these are all helpful tips and i often feel demotivated to get back to producing, these ideas help me think of how to improve my sound. Thanks!

[@Oversampled]

Good video dude! My favorite one is the keytracked noise, never thought about this!

[@SynthHackerTV]

Appreciate that man, it’s a super fun one to play around with!

[@xystumlol]

hi oversampled

[@Nesthetic99]

Whattup

[@TheJackJulian]

Same!!

[@Bittamin]

Also if you have MISHBY it has a noise slider built in and might be the most intense plugin you can play with only just white noise 😅

[@thedeltadriver1438]

i know this’ll probably get lost in the comments but hearing some of these samples like actually moved me and i wish i knew where to find music that sounds like this…

[@mac0285]

Me too, especially the last one. If you haven't listened to Rival Consoles then I would check him out

[@DarwiniaShock]

Fusq uses one or two of these methods but their discography is only like 40 minutes long :/

[@Joniyah444]

Look for soaking music , deep relax worship music , and also windows 96 artist

[@kazlives]

Why not make ur own music bro?

Thank you for such a simple explanation. Those are great ideas.

[@sivaskangali5819]

[@tunedbugra7973]

heee

[@jaymacyjoo]

That last trick is so simply but genius, been doing that with orchestral arrangements but never think to do it with synths

[@benjaminlazar8363]

Same, I’m learning about arrangement in school right now and it never occurred to me to use it with my synths

[@RxSlate]

Were out here looking at the big picture forest like we were told and this man is looking at the trees and decides we need new types of trees to make up this forest. He is CHANGING the game

[@oscarrivas7240]

Same!

[@don_glover_lover6619]

Call and response blew my mind. So simple but adds so much

[@jaroddavid5933]

That keytracked noise technique is insane

[@PlaylistunesCommunity]

I'd like to see more granular stuff on the channel, especially using Quanta

[@xX_dash_Xx]

aka the IMANU machine

[@danielgoldstein150]

I second the request for granular synthesis stuff!

[@MaxWinterLeinweber]

@@xX_dash_Xx Was just gonna comment something similar :D

[@joeanderson1307]

yes, with Quanta!!!

[@mli3083]

Personally I'd like for him to start doing fm synthesis

[@sinat8571]

My personal favorite has been convolution synthesis. I use a free plugin called Convology XT and what it does is creates reverbs based on impulse recordings. It has a built in file browser that you can navigate to your sample library which allows you to select any sound you have and use that as an impulse! Taking a bass sound and using a perc roll as an impulse gives some really crazy textures and effects, or using a vocal one shot as an impulse for a pluck can create some really spooky and eerie atmosphere.

[@SynthHackerTV]

That’s a great one, I love it for drum sound design too!

[@sinat8571]

@@rainer3755 Huge fan of Trash 2! When I want a nice dry gritty sound it's my go to with a little bit of the old camel crusher. Recently though I picked up Rift by Minimal Audio through Splices rent-to-own system and it's becoming more and more integral to my sounds. It's a little more chaotic to try and understand compared to Trash but wow it can do so much. Definitely recommend checking out a free trial

[@TheAzzaTom]

babe wake up new synthhacker video just dropped

[@miguelamadio9685]

1:21 sound design on that synth is SO clean

[@stefanguy]

So good bro! Loved this, I’m gonna be using some of these!

[@SynthHackerTV]

Ahh cheers man appreciate it! Hope you’re doing well bro!

[@timgriesbach1056]

That last tip is so simple yet effective! Very nice!

This is a classic. I remember watching you a bit when I first started production and now, this tutorial is perfect before everything happens for me so thank you so much!!

I got chills on the physical modeling sounds!

I gotta be real bro your chord progressions make me want you to make french house so bad 😭😭

[@JulianGrimmMusic]

The first and last tips are GOLD!

[@avantagonist]

great synth concepts and also really tasty harmony in your examples! They all have at least one great unexpected change.

[@traviskbracken7457]

This was so helpful! The keytrack blew my mind, so simple but added a crazy amount of depth.

This is just awesome

[@basslinephunk3441]

Really great, creative ideas!! No favorites, they're all GREAT!!

[@bahutu802]

Super helpful! What I like most is that you explained those techniques mainly as general concepts, instead of being too much focused on a particular DAW and/or plugin. Thus, it can be easily applied to basically any DAW, sequencer and groove box. Thanks for sharing!

[@SynthHackerTV]

Appreciate it, definitely trying to do this more going forward!

[@robertoalekohl]

so good. Thank you

mate, one of your best videos yet, loving it! learned so much and very well and clear explained. thumps up for the granular examples. My favourite one was the side chained granular one.

[@timspencer1]

Great video! Thank you! Different instruments for different notes seems so obvious now you have mentioned it, but it's something I never thought of using as a tool for layering. There is no limit to how far you could push this!

[@karvn1148]

LOVE THESE TIPS!!!!something i do is isolate a frequency from a noise/ambience track using band pass filter with q at max, tune the frequency to a key using pro q 3 keyboard and then automate that frequency to match the melody

[@ganglians]

Thank you

[@william_benckert]

Woah great stuff!

[@user-hl6oc4fo9u]

pretty good!!

[@king_scarxiii8229]

I really like the last tip. I feel like that was great about limitations in earlier days of music when things were always monophonic but you wanted to play chords
