Creating SOUNDSCAPES From Scratch

[@jcmusicforfilm]

Yes! This is great, and is exactly what I've been exploring over the past few months - making music with anything. Music is in every sound around us and sampling, analyzing waveforms and editing them to bring out those qualities is really exciting.

[@RetrocausalMemories]

This is truly inspiring, Christian! Makes it exciting again to create new sounds, back to the playground. Thanks for that, I needed this!💟💟

Your enthusiasm is just lovely. I have a cheap microphone and I make libraries for myself just because it is amazing to put it into an SFZ text file and it makes magic happen.

[@jeradatherton]

Joined a fellowship? Gave up drinking? Good for you, man!

[@prinzbach]

Sampling is indeed so much fun! And you can really turn any sound into whatever you need. The best sounds I have, are the ones recorded with a "bad" microphone outdoors in the worst conditions possible. It never fails to give a good result for sound design!

[@sharpwordschannel]

Where there's music, there's harmony. Amen, brother! xxx

[@jimrogers7425]

Another wonderful video, Christian. Your creative drive is very apparent, especially in this video. Found, and created, sounds are what make sampled music the art form that it is meant to be. On another note, I can see that your body has been shedding excess weight, so hearing that you’ve stopped drinking makes sense. I no longer do… at one point in my life I thought I always would (this from a former homebrewer)… so cheers to you. Continued success to you and TCHC!

[@billsimpson1085]

Great video! Very inspiring!

[@nicomuziek]

Congratulations! I know how hard it is to stop drinking. Wish you all the best and keep up the good work.

[@Jarrix]

this inspired me to start sampling in my own daw now, thanks a lot for showing the process, i always thought its way harder but its so much fun, thank you so much Christian!

[@henrikfisch]

Christian ... I know ... EVERY SINGLE VIDEO you make is LOADED with most valuable information. So: Feel youself hugged (once again) for this one. Not only for the information itself but also for the motivation it gives us to make something. Kind regards (and your fan forever for "Alien Isolation").

[@musicfromthings]

Looking forward to the event Thursday. looks like the tube strike of off.

[@richardwatson1892]

Great fun.

[@pellefsen]

Very inspiring! Thank you!

[@basswolf86]

I released my ticket to the event - can't get into town from where I am anymore today. Enjoy and I'll be watching online!

[@jetlag_beats]

I take all kind of little sound bits from everywhere I can think off, and start processing them into new sounds to play in my compositions. I'm not even recording them anymore. It could be YOU talking in this video and me taking a little random nib of one of your words; putting it in the sampler, stretching it, morphing it, squeezing it thru effect plugins like Infiltrator to finally be ending up with a very useful and on keyboards playable 'tone from scratch'.

[@4kfreelance]

Hold down option and click to add an audio effect in the usual place where you do it, for example where you click to add a plug and legacy options will show up in the list and there's a denoiser plugin there along with others. Don't ask me why they have hidden this, but all I know is a guy called David Tobin taught me that trick.

[@themorphingorb]

Sharing is caring, brother ;) Thanks!

[@curbyexe]

I recently made a kalimba sounding instrument out of a glass lamp shade because I really loved the natural resonance of it, I'll see what I can do about sending it

[@sjcongo]

I love cosmos vst so much that inspired me to

[@scott_glasgow]

Totally agree on creating your own sounds or at least tweaking sounds you purchased to make them your own-- so many ways. How are you in Cubase and creating your own sounds as fast as you do in Logic with stock plugins? I am still learning that sometimes the DAW plugins are as powerful as 3rd party ones. Would love to see a video like this using Cubase some day!

[@dedrumdebass07]

I’m currently in a mic purchasing crisis, as “cheap” as an SM57 might be to a professional, as a hobbyist it’s still an expensive mic and I have budget for one only. My understanding is that the SM57 is better for instruments and the SM58 for vocals. I’d want a mic for both, so which is the best all rounder of the two? And am I even going to notice a difference as a musical dunderhead?

[@TheCrowHillCo]

They’re exactly the same mic. The 58 has a guard that is designed for live use to prevent pops and the ill effects of spit on the capsule. Live people tend to press their mouths up against the guard which I wouldn’t recommend with the 57. 58 is basically designed for live use. If you gonna use for studio and live get this just studio get the 57.

[@ingolf7411]

Very interesting and a lot of inspiration. Ok, I bought some soundsets for my synths. But a lot of the sounds I´m using (!) are own sounds made from scratch. I have to admit that some of those sounds are tries of "cloning" sounds I like. And very often there are some "incidents" that leads me to my own kind of sound ... not the original sound wanted but nevertheless I like them 😉. And don´t forget ... creating sounds can be a very relaxing and joyful "task".

[@avalonpractice]

Great video….would love to know more about creating sound bytes but only have Garageband

[@haruthefrog]

ahhh this makes my imagination go places

[@opticalman6417]

not long since got my self akai s950 sampler maxed out with mods for its 12 bit filter goodness

[@BasementEraAudio]

I would love to participate in this. I've been sampling sounds for my music a lot recently.

[@waverleyinstruments]

Very cool and creative sampling approach. FWIW, I used a similar, but much less sophisticated technique for my "SPLOSHILATOR" (see what I did there?) Audio Inc submission. 🙂 -Rob

[@WinItReigns]

Can Paul come around, Christian. How about for Christmas, yall get together like old times, have some laughs, and talk music before Wishing each other well? 🎄 🌟

Scratch From SOUNDlandSCAPES

[@sandupetre363]

Hello, what is that midi controller with the four sliders called ?

[@DonBonin]

Its a ghostnote controller. Similar to the AMC3 controller.

[@sandupetre363]

Thank you for those , did not know about them. I found another that is much suited for my needs : Intech Studio PBF4.

[@G.ProgOsto]

♥

[@currahee55]

Can anyone recommend a decent field recorder?

[@steveglossop]

Tascam FR-AV2. The 32-bit float seems to be a handy/convenient recording option. Zoom F6 has 32-bit also - more expensive but very popular.

[@jcmusicforfilm]

I use a Zoom h1n - cheap and does a decent job!

[@larsandersen2757]

Very inspiring thanks!!! What kind of fader control is the one (with 3 faders) on you desk?

[@DonBonin]

Its a ghostnote controller. Similar to the AMC3 controller

[@larsandersen2757]

@ but What model?

[@mybiggrin]

Congrats on giving up drinking, maestro.

[@bryanhitch9383]

Redundant? I'm horrified.

[@hielehielehiele]

congratulations on stopping the booze

[@lahattec]

And don't fall for the cheapo "SM57", which isn't an SM57 at all.

[@TemmeSikkema]

So…. What happened to “I switched to Cubase” then?😂

[@PlugInGuruVideo]

As someone that makes sounds for a living, I agree it’s fun at times - however sometimes you need sounds created by someone that has dedicated themselves to creating magic in sonic form. 35 years and I’m still going deeper….

[@davidasher22]

Do you want raw sounds or actual finished processed sounds? im guessing its finished sounds but the way you've been explaining the project has me a little unsure.

[@edmubarek5168]

Um...you sell sounds, do you not? I've been telling my friends for years, if you field record, if you sample. you may remain a sh*tty musician, but your sounds will be literally something no one else has ever heard, and something no one else can ever have. Already a better proposition than a Serum patch, no?

[@TheCrowHillCo]

I do sell sounds but I would still advise people to make their own at the beginning of their journey.
