[@GarronsMusic]

Hey guys! Hope you enjoyed this video! Let me know if you are interested in any more of these general advice videos! Thank you! leave a like and subscribe if you liked it :)

[@JC20XX]

I liked this style. Adds variety. Keep both though. Also thank you.

[@samuraiowlmusic]

I. Love. Your. Accent. So much. Super video! I've been wanting to get better at sound design but can't find videos that aren't either garbage or "just buy my custom Ableton rack"...so thank you so much!! Basic shapes are completely underrated...everybody spends so much money on fancy wavetables when all they really are are variations on basic shapes... Thanks again for this video :)

[@NakulKrishna]

Nice video man, I prefer the focused videos myself but I guess throwing these in every now and then is a pleasant shift. My favourite way of consuming and learning this kind of stuff is through playlists that contain a structured approach and build on a specific concept. Also you deserve more subs.

[@GarronsMusic]

Thank you for the feedback man! I’m planning on doing a full synthesis series soon which will be very much like that 😃 also thank you 😃

[@The_Mercian]

Sinefold: The pilled up cousin of Seinfeld who is never invited round for xmas. This is great advice, man. Thank you! The whole A+B≠B+A thing with effects is indeed jarring so keeping it simple is a great option. You know I'm a big fan of your structured series but this was a refreshing change. Would be more than happy to see more. Keep up the great work! 🐱‍👤

[@GarronsMusic]

Hahaha! Thanks so much man 😃

[@shoofly6834]

Lmao "Sinefold"

[@yahushuafukushima3494]

You're entirely right you have to build your pallete and understand what your hearing, like learning your scales on an instrument, when you hear it you can recreate it. Thanks for the video, I'm just starting and it's good to know you can make a whole track with one wave and then progress, brilliant! ;o)

[@GarronsMusic]

That’s totally it! I actually applied the same method i applied to learning the guitar to sound design! Learn a concept and then run that concept until my ear turned it into instinct! That helped me after years of being overwhelmed. But I could just be slow to pick things up lol

[@Framed_Synth]

Syntorial is best way to start learn synthesis in my opinion.

[@herrram3649]

To have all those parameters in a synth can be overwhelming for someone who is just starting (like me). Thanks for your advice!

[@JakkeJakobsen]

That graphic output up in the top right is insanely handy for learning! Doing this in Serum doesn't directly show you what it does to the waveshape, but that is Vital™ information IMHO! Yes, pun intended. You can phase modulate sine waves to any other shape like saw or square, and you got visual feedback. More and more impressed with Vital for every day!

[@Tvaroh]

This is wisdom, thanks! Syntorial can also be useful.

[@jaaz7835]

i used on syntorial too. works great and makes it all very understanding. as well with this video! thanks garron for your time brother!

[@cmd_f5]

Very on point video / advice. I've often wanted to dive right in and start doing super complex things with sound, weather it be mixing or design itself. I had to step back and learn how things work on their own before embarking on huge projects and soundscapes. Great stuff, subbed. :)

[@warmerheights]

Thank you for this! Been wanting to dive ideeper into sound design, but didn't know where to start. Really keen to give this approach a bash!

[@jumpstar9000]

Everyone is looking forward to your merch store with Irish inside out t-shirts, I tell ya! All your videos are great. The Bitwig content is wonderful BW reference material, How to do sound design or audio foundations are really appreciated too, especially as you obviously know what you are talking about. You are a natural.

[@GarronsMusic]

Thank you so much 😃 That T-shirt idea is gold!

[@Kidd.Nostalgia]

Thanks for the great video I learned a lot!

[@MegaHajvan]

For the shirt it is the same belief in Balkan as well

[@Ardspans]

Hi Dude, greetings from Co.Donegal. I love your overall approach to music and getting across to us good folks the complexity of it all in an easy to understand way. Keep up the great work and most of all Thank You !

[@GarronsMusic]

Thanks so much! :D Also, you live in a lovely county!

[@impnetplus2424]

This video was so good and really helpful! : )

[@MGCaverly]

Thank you, Garron for this presentation. There is a lot of scope in here but your method of limiting the field of attention emphasises a deep level of 'practice' . My four penneth of advice for newcomers would be to cultivate the sense of listening. Regards, Mike

[@deppam]

Thanks Garron for the education.

[@Thought-Forms]

awesome tips!

[@kensley94]

[@edinatl2008]

Nice tutorial, thanks!

"Limitation Brew's Creativity"

[@emineminoglou6915]

The inside out shirt thing is the same in turkey bro 👊🏻

[@Mu.Lix.]

awesome video idea man , i do like your approach of understanding sound design , from limiting. can you make same kind of video with new serge-xt

[@GarronsMusic]

Lots of surge XT stuff planned 😀

[@aman9538]

can you talk about and discuss other artists who design their sounds?

[@GarronsMusic]

Definitely!

[@Shreenidhikiyose]

big Aha moment for me! Thanks a lot, I am starting out and it was so super helpful for me.

[@insertanynameyouwant5311]

hi, I`m new to synths and chose Vital to master it. Does Surge have something that Vital doesn`t? Vital seems more logical in it`s layout to me.

[@GarronsMusic]

Then I would definitely just start with vital. There aren’t many things you can’t achieve with it!

[@insertanynameyouwant5311]

@@GarronsMusic thank you!

[@josejayant3127]

You deserve more subscribers. But the problem with today's time is that shitty meme channels that don't teach anything have more subscribers.

[@merakimusicIE]

thanks ;)

[@Phantommxr]

is there a Synth that allows live sound input? thanks

[@GarronsMusic]

You can route audio through surge! 😃

[@radonn3419]

your mic is sidechaining instead of audio xD

[@GarronsMusic]

No it’s not, I manually adjusted some peaks after the video was done. Accidentally recorded voice and Daw on one track 😂
