Hey guys, thanks so much for your immense support for this video! In the last few weeks views and fun comments/questions has skyrocketed! I realised I forgot to include a link to my Patreon - so if you'd like me to make more videos like this, maybe consider supporting me at Patreon.com/jedmakesnoise Thanks a million! Love your support!

[@rickyblanco8244]

Very groovy, reminded me of Bites album maybe a bit of the choke in there somewhere. My wife and I are starting a music thing so I will definitely show her this video the thing that drove it home for me was how you used a synth and a drum machine and matched them up perfectly in the bass line. NOW I know what equipment to look for. Anyhow, thank you for your video.

[@lostsignal1]

Excellent video, but the steps need some clarification for EBM: Step 1: Lock the target Step 2: You bait the line Step 3: Slowly spread the net

[@BTsMusicChannel]

haHA!

[@jeddyeval]

Yes!!!

[@tallmansweden]

Step 4: You catch the man. :-)

[@applemarkwantsvids]

These step are only relevent if you have the written in your cells, the marks of a genius

[@Marten_Broadcloak]

NICE

[@MrRaivokasMagma]

I think it was this cold and harsh synth sound that really pulled me in when I first heard something labelled EBM. And it sounded so different from other electronic music I had heard before.

[@DielectricFailure]

Just joined your channel. I’m new to EBM and love it. It isn’t mainstream or spoken about much so I didn’t know about it. Your tutorial was great! I usually play and performed death or slam metal but now I’ve gotten help making this type of music. I hope to see more of your videos!

[@506sinte2]

Quick, catchy and great way to understand the anatomy of an EBM track. Thank you!

[@rubberduky1829]

Absolutely fantastic what you did in the most original minimalistic way. I don't know if you know this but you came nearly 100% close to capturing the song called... The bog...( Bigod20).... And as a side note Jean-Luc-de-Meyer of front 242 was one of the writters of the song. I'm 50 years old so I remember the beginning of all EBM..music. and to this day I still dance on the dance floor like a spastic teenager. Lol

[@allanthornton6827]

Love that track! I got Jean Luc to sign my CD single of The Bog while he was touring with C-Tec in the late 90's

[@obiedecker4038]

51 old man with a teen brain here. What a time to be alive! I will never forget flipping out and completely losing it on the dance floor of Frankfurts legendary techno disco Dorian Gray, while strobes lightened up the thick artificial fog and Aggressiva by 242 started. Also saw Skinny Puppy live in 1988, a life changing experience. EBM and Industrial forever!

[@collapsingnewpunkie]

The bog is so good, I love it for a few years before I discovered ebm (:

[@stumsi]

@@obiedecker4038 You lucky bastard, Techno Club Dorian Gray was the "source" at that time for electronic music, I envy you! Please, don't take "bastard" seriously, it's Monty Python joke!

[@obiedecker4038]

@@stumsi No way I’m taking it seriously. ☺️ I do feel blessed I was young at this time. No cell phones, no web, just us, record stores and night clubs.

[@amberdean1263]

I see "EBM" and a thumbnail with an A4 and SH101 and I insta-click :D

[@xisotopex]

yep!

[@TheHumanPurpleTape]

SAME

[@bonesonvinyl6533]

😁😎

[@daf9897]

Yes! I discovered EBM in 1988. At that time, a forbidden culture from the hostile west in communist Czechoslovakia :-)

[@chemicalangel5227]

Dont know how i got here, but im sure as hell glad i did! This is such a insightful vid. Thanks man!

[@oraz.]

I can't believe I can watch this stuff on youtube. What a world.

[@hellonblades]

Killer, killer Track !!!! I hope to hear more soon! Thanks for sharing this with us all!

[@BartJanstd]

I rarely add comments, but this was cool to watch. I've been making EBM/electronic music the same way for a couple of years, nice to see someone actually explain and jam with analog instruments instead of watching someone fiddle about with VSTs for ten minutes.

[@dlvnmedia]

242 and EBM being two of my favorite musical things of all time this was an auto watch and auto sub for me

[@thepeterone]

I really appreciate the setup walkthrough. I'll definitely be looking out for your videos from now on.

[@KrisBarton432]

Excellent video! So nice to watch someone that actually knows what they are doing as opposed to first try on such and such instrument.

[@okokok333]

Such a cool track you made, i had no idea what EBM was until i stumbled upon this video

[@8-BitHeart79]

New sub here, Jed. I like your content. Thanks for 5his particular video. I'm 42 and have a home studio and have had many iterations of said studio. But the last decade or so, I have forgotten why I started making music. This little tune helped me to remember why. So, thank you, friend.

[@s3nsec0rruptr80]

This is definitely inspiring me to create! Thank you!

[@kettenlaiho3983]

It would be great if you did a video creating a post-punk song from scratch as well! I've learned a lot just watching this video!

[@MegaCraptacular]

I'm an old bastard and a huge F 242 fan. You nailed the drums. Great job Jed! Thanks

[@oldschoolebm666]

Fantastic explanation and great beat. EBM is all about snappy envelopes and fat analog tones. SH-101 and sequential Pro one are my top favorites. Drums; the kawai R100, Yamaha RX series are great. Great video!!

[@brokenorbitmusic9724]

Super awesome Jed You Rock! ✨ 👍 please make more EBM jams like this! 🎶🔥✨🎶

[@allysterlaw777]

Great video Jed! Thanks for Uploading.

[@amphetamean66X]

I appreciate this. The part about the envelopes was really helpful.

[@neoromatik]

Very cool stuff JeddyEval // Congrats!

[@MrThebald1]

This is great! Thanks for making this.

[@strandedaliensband]

Skinny Puppy. Hell yeah! Nice jam on here. Kudos!

[@user-yj8og5tf5d]

Omg these drums are amazing!

[@jonmaddison]

Love this! Been thinking of trying to create some EBM next so this was inspirational. Love the synth line variations.

[@Sulfurico]

This video has been very good for my future productions, thank you. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🔥

Thanks for making this mate love the dive into an underdiscussed genre

[@Krush00]

Great video! Thanks Jed!

Keep makin noise Jed, lovin it

[@melanatedmantra6607]

@EBM Amazing video. You're a genius.

[@easymac24]

Great video! We need more deep dives of genre specific techniques.

[@kinexkinex971]

great setup

[@feldhase717]

Das ist wirklich super !! 👍

[@digitaldisruptlabs]

This was insane! I loved it!

[@zeroed4x]

That was incredible ! Thanks

[@monkybone28]

This is great!!! Thanx for useful info.

[@prophez23]

Very Front 242 sounding at first but then it becomes that really cool vampire lounge EBM sounding. I love it! I've been listening and playing Industrial and experimental electronic music since around 1985. I bought Skinny Puppy's first album Remission and was hooked immediately. It's really cool to see younger people getting into it and keeping it alive.

[@pyrykuivanen8575]

Yess! Ive done ebm inspired industrial for some years, your video is super cool and entertaining! I enjoyed it a lot!

[@jeddyeval]

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it. I am quite new to it, not a master at it but I’m discovering so much through making these videos. Thanks so much!

[@pyrykuivanen8575]

@@jeddyeval Youre making it like youre done it for years. Really well done! Maybe youre a teacher or consult in the real life. If not you have talent to that area I think!

[@Nowheremovies]

fantastic stuff, very informative.

[@dmaifred]

SKINNY PUPPY! My fav band back in my day growing up in Vancouver in 80/90s hanging around Granville Street, going to Lovafair. Go the "Texture" and I-Braineater art and clothing.

[@Mode-7]

This is amazing.

[@eddyxable]

I like your music very much...thanks for sharing :)

[@Gracias-por]

Excelente trabajo 👏

[@Dedabile]

Wow the Roland sounds soooooo goood

[@DavidSanchez-bx6pp]

YES! IM SO GOAD I FOUND THIS

[@DGdescendant22]

Good shit bro! That korg sounded spectacular on top of the elektron an Roland. Great mix of synths. Subbed

[@peterdonofrio1038]

This is great! 👍

[@augustosuarez1642]

Muy buen trabajo!!!!!

[@TheGaryGoblins]

Nice work

[@Gabriel-iz4kp]

Nice work. I also have such an old sh 101 synth (the original) and try to get out some nice music out of it.

[@shane_l8085]

When I bought the A4mk2 I was a bit disappointed in it as a synth but then realised its potential as a drum machine and cv/midi sequencer and that alone made it a keeper, in fact I go to it for drums more than my Analog Rytm

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

agree well Octatrack is even better! I use Octatrack for drum/samples and A4 for basslines and melodic stabs. Works great.

[@filledeminuit7710]

I made this style since 2 years and THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I SEE A TUTORIAL about this style :'( cause it's took me 2 years to realize we called this "EBM" sad.

[@stefanoskollias]

Excelent track and tutorial! Also microbrute is excelent for this style basslines...

[@vincentcornette554]

Thanatos my friend ! Gréât !

[@johnbeckett8367]

Fantastic !!!

[@night_fiend6326]

I was searching for Goth Synth jams but found this. Great EBM, I would love to hear this as an entirely full released song with different sections. It would really get a party going.

[@jacobh1702]

Honestly by far the best EBM tutorial ever... One question... I hear that clap sound In the drum track 4 often but have no idea how yiu get that style of clap or how to even describe it to search for

[@necromonger9842]

Awesome video. Can you please create a tutorial on how to create Schwefelgelb-like bass? I think they're continuing the EBM legacy these days.

[@tillschroder6992]

Schwefelgelb are great! They use a waldorf blofeld

[@lil_weasel219]

This is also a killer song actually. Id love it if you made the same for darkwave, that would be fanatstic

[@mus0rmus1c3]

That is a pretty sick bassline

[@PhillipAmthor]

Perfection

[@bevorstehendesende294]

I love this🖤🖤🖤

[@thirdkarhanTV]

keep it up man, this was good.

[@jeddyeval]

Thanks heaps man!!

[@curly_wyn]

Hi Jed, I love your Jesus and Mary Chain hair!!! 🖤🖤

[@activelow9297]

Good job! With the SH101 you have nailed the Front 242 sound pretty faithfully. You just need more samples and sound effects.

[@NicolasMelis]

awesome 🎹

[@monotonie6260]

Good Job

[@ThorTyrker]

Dang, when you started that bass loop for the first time, I literally went “wooooooo!” :) If you make an ebm album, I’d buy it :)

[@LegendPhase]

Nice vid !!

[@montazownianr1]

This is pure GOLD. I NEED MOOOOOOORE!!!! 🤣😘

[@louminati4318]

I have never heard of the genre EBM until now. I've been around since the 80's and we had this style down as Belgium New Beat.

[@callactm14]

Is basically new beat. Is a dancy version of ebm

[@ModernDevotion]

Body music and new beat are very similar and in some places synonyms for sure :)

[@klinkske]

New beat is slower. Check early front 242. That is not new beat.

[@MPOhardcore]

Very interesting

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

this is really helpful now I have to get a Roland SH-101 have the Microkorg and Analog 4 but like using my Octatrack for drums since it has 8 tracks and more choices of effects, envelopes and filter choices. I am trying to do this on modular which is a little trickier.

[@justins-d9825]

honestly for EBM, you'd be better off with just 4 tracks. keep things simple, and you'll focus more on making those simple things good (: ebm is like punk music, you start overcomplicating it and it loses what makes it so charming

[@Nero_AD]

Bravo sir! I really enjoyed this and your techniques taught me something too.

[@JH-lo9ut]

This is great! It's like you are baking a cake out of black leather and amphetamine.

[@nopeoplecorp]

Beautiful hair, man!

[@LevantarisCarnavalhal]

EBM drum is the best drum of Electronic music i

[@vincent7626]

Great stuff! how about more lesson videos like this? Thank you for your time.

[@jeddyeval]

Hey friend thanks heaps for watching, I'm sorry I haven't made much content lately I have been busy playing in my bands and working on my new project Chiffon Magnifique, so that has taken a lot of time away from my tutorials. I might come back to these tutorials in future when I have the time :)

[@decibelsintetico]

Mind blown.

[@ultralife73]

Also getting some strong New Beat vibes from this. But then again, that was hugely influenced by EBM.

[@taranullius9221]

Solid. Would dance to.

[@BearTechNation]

Great tutorial! I was wondering if you could create some MIDI files for all the elements? That would be brilliant - more so if we could download them! Thank you! Front 242 and Nitzer Ebb all the way!

[@beardobees2466]

The scale and tone at 11:00 sounds like Circling Overland

[@Tutterzoid]

At 10:24 Hit Play .. then = Awesomeness

[@mattspazmatic]

Saw that hair and subbed.

[@adrianreyes4702]

You are not only an excellent superb musician, you are also a great Teacher, speaking in layman terms, explaining things so well. Thank you for this. I mainly play guitar, some piano, and just recently bought the microKorg 37key synth. and am having a blast learning some basic songs like Major Tom by Peter Schilling, while simultaneously playing guitar back, and forth. Hearing the multitude of incredible sounds sparked my interest in your type of keyboard synth led music. Thanks again for showing how exciting, and fun music can be. Now for possibly purchasing that Elektron analog drum machine. My generation is the New Order sound which I still love, and I see the roots. I really love the sounds you got. See? You CAN teach an old Dog new tricks.

[@aerniax]

Would you mind sharing the Microkorg patch? Sounds wonderful.

[@immigrantatwork6069]

My biggest take away was when you touch on phrygian scale. My bassline instantly sounded right once I change the key

[@vanianbulman]

Hell yeah!

[@quentinchaton2835]

the sound of belgium new beat !

[@Nachtgrabb]

A split second style!
