Au5 : Making The Most Of A Sample Pack | Constructing A Song From Samples

[@samredman401]

Not even a producer, just a fan and I’ve never been so intrigued to see how he just kept making this piece better and better. Very entertaining for someone who knows nothing about music in the first place.

[@NeilC]

Sam Redman exactly

[@indigo1324]

Sam Redman I'm a producer but I use FL Studio, not Ableton so I kinda watch for the same reason. I know some of what's going on, but not everything.

[@tuseemusic6269]

super glad you enjoyed, that rocks.

[@Soothyn]

Bro this is not how making music is haha. This dudes just a creative genius. It literally would take me 10 hours to come up with what hes making

[@dougmcleod3413]

I've used tons of free and paid content, this is one of the best tutorials i've ever seen.... mind blown

God bless you Austin.

I'm a mechanical engineer who produces music on the side. I just switched over to Serum after using Massive for a decade. Man, this is like watching rocket science in action. Thank you so much for this, Au5!

[@ChrisLintonMusic]

I've spent many years honing my skills as Singer-songwriter but I have really wanted to cross over to producer to broaden my musical pallet. I've never known where to start. This video really fills me with confidence that maybe I can make it work. Thanks Au5!

[@ruvimperna5532]

Chris Linton Official it's gonna take alot of work and roughly 2-3 yrs to get it down professional unless you have shortcut help from a pro IRL, but you can definitly do it! Anyone can that has a passion for music and motivation to get up everyday and continue scraping one project after another and starting a new one. I've been through around 300 projects and finally getting to near pro level! You can do anything you set your mind to. I'm rooting for you :)

[@brendancarmona4521]

Where you at now?

[@Spaceshopping]

I just have a superpower now. I can hold my breath for 50 mins!

[@neillogan6166]

You're blowing my fuckin mind right now. I'm new to production and watching this is incredible. I've been a guitarist for 22 years (primarily metal) and really want to be able to make this kind of music. Watching you rip through the sound design with ease is astonishing. That first growl with the filter sweep and modulated WT position is 🔥 and the first turn around growl/fill with the stutter effect is too good. I wish I was younger so I could drop everything and get educated. I'd kill to learn how to do what you do. Obviously as an artist I'd want to develop my own sound but I'm so heavily influenced by you right now. I listen to your music everyday and the song I can't stop listening to is "Another Way". I also feel like I need to ditch FL Studio and switch to Ableton. It appears that it has significantly more useful and user friendly tools. I've noticed multiple things that you did with ease that I can't figure out in FL Studio. Anyways, rant over. Love your music, man. ❤️

[@Trickey2413]

Such a well made tutorial. This is the kinda stuff you'd expect from payed content.

[@mod3no]

Thank you for all your advice dude. You are one of my biggest inspirations so I really love that you are making these tutorials and sharing your endless knowledge.

[@jonathangodin7649]

Recreating this from scratch has really taught me a lot. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@joshs.5384]

Goddamn. Every time I watch one of your videos, I learn so many new things. The density of useful information is almost overwhelming. I literally stopped watching this halfway through and started it over so I could take notes. I make a completely different style of music, but so much of this content is absolutely universal.

[@noexitmusic4776]

Long tutorial? Not long enough! Thanks man. Would be great if you could make this a full track!

[@sethtaylor7519]

And show the process of arranging this out into a full track. That would be great! Not too many producers are doing that, unfortunately.

[@ruvimperna5532]

Whoa! NoExitMusic! Your here! I used to listen to your stuff a lot especially venture zero always and eek go. You had great backgrounds.. wish you wouldn't stop posting but I guess your motivation is else where now huh? XD

[@tgg_music2]

I found you via Multiplier, and I'm very glad I did. You've taught me more new techniques in this tutorial than I've tried researching in the last 6 months or so! Please keep it up!

[@Ryan-mx4ll]

I've followed you since The Reason back when I was in high school, I'm now 26. And I'm still convinced you're a freakin wizard man

[@PHASES_OFFICIAL]

Thank you so much for this Au5, you're an amazing teacher.

[@daniyalahmed97]

Damn dude I saw your part on Andrew Huangs video and it brought me here. You're an insane producer man. Absolutely loving the creativity. Subscribed and cant wait to see what you do next!

[@level1life79]

This tutorial helped me more than any other tutorial I've watched. It was like a semester in college all condensed into one video

[@deejayransom]

So many sound design and random Ableton tricks! I already know I'm going to have to watch this at least once more. Thank you for sharing

[@K14-z1w]

This one is insane! Thank you for sharing your knowlegde!

[@silversulu]

This tutorial is astonishing in both its clarity and its speed - au5 technical competency is crazy goodness.

[@dominionbeats]

This might be the best tutorial I've ever seen. There are so many awesome Ableton tips in here it's ridiculous.

[@justushebenstreit3426]

OMG that Serum resampling part was mind-blowing, thanks for sharing Au5!!

[@ezassegai4793]

your bell sounds are very recognizable. you have a very signature style

[@creatorsremose]

Master class session. Greatness. Thank you!

[@Kevin161089]

I usually don't comment much on KZbin, but this is handsdown the best, most informative and creative tutorial I've ever seen on KZbin!!! Keep it up, man!! I'm really not easy to impress, but this video has impressed me big time! Subscribed.

[@Scorchedpaint]

Thanks Au5!! Downloaded and did everything you did in the video in Ableton and was probably one of the best tutorials I have seen regarding sample packs! Incredible! Please make more!!

[@killinvoid]

This became way too beautiful

[@ardensity1175]

always use to listen to au5 & fractal in high school, my favourite dubstep producers

[@Nehilo]

I think i have learned more in 50 mins Au5 about sounddesign than in the 5 full years i am producing. Especially the thing with the frequency shifter and this weird phase effects!

[@ysimon1805]

everything is so natural for him but looks like magic to me

[@enochi5437]

Awesome video dude. I've been a producer for almost 5 years now and I still always learn a lot from your videos. Thanks heaps for taking the time to make these.

[@deanopatoni]

Thanks Au5 - you make it look easy, but obviously it takes years of practice to reach (your) perfection. Truly inspirational.

[@djGreenALERT]

This is the 1st video I have seen of yours, and I must say when you titled it "Making the most of a sample pack" You really wasn't kidding!!!!!!

[@maknirak]

I know some parts are sped up, but jesus. This man does in 1 hour what I'll do in a week.

[@MaxMiller94]

This is amazing and helpful as always! You're one of the most technical and detail oriented producers out there.

[@MaxMiller94]

Also, you should make this into a full song and release as a VIP. It's fire.

[@skyedmdj6226]

There is more useful information for EDM producers in this single video than in the entire rest of the web.

[@ezassegai4793]

that is one of the sickest sample packs and sample pack promo tracks Ive ever heard man.

[@krisumusic]

Really enjoying seeing you work Au5. I've done quite a few "simple" tutorials as well this winter. Bought the sample pack :)

[@kljenson43]

I could watch him work all day. he keeps things so interesting you can tell he just inspires himself

[@IntoTheMist321]

You're such a great teacher.

[@MAE917MUSIC]

dude this is just awesome :) ! ! ! positive vibes

[@nerdexproject]

One of the best melodic dubstep tutorial ever! Thank you so so much ohh gosh

[@sweekendsmusic9887]

This is so dope, it would be awesome to see another video where you give this a full mixdown treatment. There's so many layers, it would be interesting

[@timfry7188]

[@NewXTC7]

Hail Au5..Love you man! You are such an amazing person and music producer.

[@dennisplayinglacrosse]

Oh my god. This has got to be one of the best tutorials I've seen since I started to learn how to make music about a month ago. I saw the video a while back and put off watching it because of the time, but damn this is so good. Also, I'm impressed by your skill in Ableton, like the shortcuts you use are much more efficient than clicking buttons all over the place. Thanks for the great video!

[@robertkennedy9369]

That vocal pad.... gorgeous!

[@SENHEL]

Wooow! Feels nostalgic!

[@macstar95]

Can you please please do another one of these with a different sample pack. So much info here -- one of the best tutorials on youtube imo. Amazing producer and creative skills with what's in front of you. Much love.

[@au5music]

Check out my latest vid, I made an entire song out of just 1 sample!

[@asdrofllmao]

This is amazing content, thanks so much for sharing. I would totally pay for a recorded master class of you guiding viewers through how you build a song from scratch with all of your latest tricks.

[@au5music]

My pleasure! You're in luck because I do have a sound design masterclass where I also create a full song from scratch. Check out School Of Bass: courses.inthedaw.net/

Best tutorial ive seen yet, keep doibg tutorials in this format please! I learned so much as ur showing how you actually build a track, piece by piece! So much better than just showing single tricks n tips! Thank you for the knowledge!

[@MrMiniMeister]

Purchased the pack to show my appreciation. Been enjoying your music for several years now, but just started getting into production. Loving your content. Keep it up!

[@GreatestSportsHighLights]

This is amazing! We need more people like you on youtube! Best time ever invested was watching this video on youtube! Thank you!!!

[@FaresMason]

Liked before I even watched because I know this is going to be pure gold Edit: it wouldn't hurt to get a Crossroads dubstep VIP mix

[@TJGalloway1]

I’d love to see another video like this

[@EEKmusic]

got the pack the other day and it's awesome!! great video also =)

[@jojoDUB]

Hey man! Love your videos...nice to see you here :)

[@EEKmusic]

=)

[@ruvimperna5532]

Eek my man! Keep up those melodic epic tunes and vids! Glad to see you here XD Btw, when u didn't know what parrelel compression was when I asked you about using it a long time ago, what au5 did to the snare in this video with glue compression IS parrelel compression! Hope you see now how useful it is to control your hard hitting snare and give it an illusion of hitting hard but not hurting the ears at the same time :D

[@Xclusive1995]

That was absolutely incredible. I learned so much about processing audio and how to utilize audio fx I never even use for purposes I've always needed. Please teach me more!!

[@brandongreco6729]

How you only have 45k subs,you’re one the best in the world,period.Crazy.

Awesome job Austin! Keep up the great work all the time! This tutorial is definitely worth it! 😄😄

[@aaronholcomb8609]

Thanks for the video! Very helpful and easy to follow instructions

[@alchemy2010]

Don't know if you're taking requests, but man I'd love a video on how you go about your synth design in terms of chord sounds, supersaws, leads etc. Doesn't have to specific sounds, but just the general sentiment/theory/philosophy behind how you design them. They sound so much more than your average detuned saw or basic wave, and thats often where i get stuck with that sort of sound design; bass design you can just go really crazy but melodic sounds can get a bit messy that way. The chord stabs in that pack are insane.

[@ssymbio]

Actually bought the pack to support the tutorial, this is gold men, thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[@CrystalFissure]

Fantastic work.

[@jacobsengdara6645]

This was epic all the way to the end. Learned quite alot and feel more confident in trying new things to my sounds. Thx Au5

[@robertpitts1292]

This is a super helpful tutorial (and his sample packs are great!). Does anyone know how he gets the midi notes to show the pitch names on the midi markers like that????

[@au5music]

Thanks! You just zoom in and they will show inside the notes

[@bkkn1ck]

WOW! This is incredible austin!

[@hsing7494]

Hey Austin, thank you so much for the tutorial! It answered a lot of issues that I have been struggling with. Can you expand on how you derived the bass growl's key at 18:39? You mentioned that it was F# due to the fact that it was the flat 6 of A#. Was wondering why you had to go through its relation to the song's key to find out the key. Thanks!

[@au5music]

Freefall is in A#, the growl is from the 2nd chord of Freefall's drop, which drops down to the b6.

[@severianmusic7960]

Incredible tutorial Austin thank you 🙏🏼

[@ID4rkStr]

Great vid! Lots of gems! -gratitude

[@cymon_music]

These sounds reminded me of Metin 2. Anyway this was brilliant, thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. I think this is the most interesting type of video to watch if you want to learn. Clear, not too fast, not too slow.

[@checkthisout1691]

Thank you for the tutorial Austin! It was hella appreciated bro

[@zwllms711]

Thank you so much for this! Incredibly informative and I am just in awe watching you work

[@joelsiftv3267]

Have a weird request... Would you ever do a tutorial on a sound from your song “Smoke”? There’s a specific down pitched sound at 2:02 (based on the video from wobblecraft) that I’ve always wanted to learn. I tried messing with it in serum by using a comb filter and resulted in a somewhat similar effect, but nowhere near as punchy and tight as yours. Smoke was the first song I had heard of yours and I’ve been following ever since. Keep up the amazing work!

Instead of lowering the track volume of your live fills, you can consolidate the individual audio clips, then change the sample volume to 0 db.
