ozone 9 exciter, saturn and inflator saves my drums every fuckin’ time

[@ZenWorld]

Life Changing BBBYYYY

[@groovytechrecordsnl]

Yooo I bloody died at 13:50 with your "mamasita" freestyle 😂❤🤣

[@Barfunkel]

One cool trick for the ghost percussion channel is to put a vocoder in there somewhere. It makes it kinda noisy and "blurry", so it sounds a bit less like just delayed drum hits and more like this swooshy reverb thing that fills in the gaps between the drum hits. Doesn't always work but worth trying anyway!

[@bramk6720]

or a flanger !

[@DJ_Victor_M]

Great tips Zen Master, thank you for sharing with us!!

[@simenga4414]

Drum loops editing is so key, great tut

[@BeatAcademy]

Homie switch the clap over to the classic mode in the simpler and just automate the sustain knob. ;)

[@collins_channel8643]

[@LeviT-music]

Man, thanks so much for these tips! Totally game changing on production! And big thumbs up for the mamacita vibes ! 13:48

[@TehAwesomer]

The ghost notes via a send is an interesting one. Creating a unified ghost note across multiple percussion elements seems like it'd add both texture and coherence.

[@potatosan4250]

one of your best videos to date!

[@rct3lol]

Zen world always makes sure i get some new inspiration! 😎

[@festy111]

👍🔥 always good content bro !

[@riquelmista6153]

[@joekoonziii2840]

Wicked- I'm new to this and creating drum textures is a challenge- this gave me alot to work with and listen for- thanks🤘🤩

[@woodenelephant1265]

Why have I never seen this video so many quality tips 👍🏼

[@SerdanDaProducer]

Beautiful things, thank you man!

[@user-vd3if4wq6m]

Drumloops are not cheating, but creating everything from scratch is usually an 'Auto-Original' sound, In my opinion. You should be able to make a banging drumloop/drum parts, getting there will add all the necessary tools and technics you need. KZbin is full of the same tips etc. There are so many unique approaches that come with understanding the tools /combination of tools etc.

[@susanwojcicki5714]

really amazing video thank u

[@axeldavid8036]

It would never have occurred to me to edit the Drum Loop on the Envelopes to remove the claps. What I was doing was moving the arrangement to remove the claps manually and then render. Thank you very much bro !!

[@ejikegaetanonnodi711]

[@keeganjackson6511]

Lesss Gooo 🔥

[@susanwojcicki5714]

i get bored of house then i hear ur example and i like it again

[@unsaved6]

Use clip volume when chopping loops to still have control for mixing on the channel fader. Use drum racks to trigger single drums hits, it’s easier to control it with mpc or logic groove/swing presets that way. Slicing audio to midi is also a good idea like someone pointed out

[@cryptochiefs4752]

LFO effect was cool thanks

[@MrBackstaba]

You can automate the length of the Clap by using LFO from Max for Live. Set a Saw LFO Shape and map it to the length of the sample in Simpler.

[@Suba932]

You can also set your drums in gate mode so the midi clip lenght actually reflects the lenght of the audio

[@jacksonischillin]

you can set the sampler from trigger to gate and automate the fade out knob!

[@delphidesigns]

great details.

[@sebastiana1760]

Nice work

[@zaffronmusic4050]

Bruh I’ve been holding off buying presets and sample packs but I’ve gained so much from this I’m buying deceiver to support you

[@adamdarling]

You won't be disappointed

[@Calvin-Kleinveld]

Massive tip in the secret section!! I do this with sidechain, but this is much better!!

[@alexjorgensen1732]

youre the best fr

[@LP-ug9rv]

you can map an lfo to the fade out when you wanna alter the length of the clap/hat on midi

[@MeesBorg]

Definately inspired me to make organic type percussion!

[@mindfreak6599]

nice video bro

[@cekirdekci32]

this was great

[@mathieu13]

200k real soon!!

[@millean.]

[@AdamPearceMedia]

you're an OG man !

[@sadakojh]

sick

[@angusab3269]

thank uuu

[@plagiarhythm]

good ty

[@cekirdekci32]

this was genius omg.

[@diegopalomarelectronicmusic]

very nice, on your example of lowering volume of sample, i only do that on session view but in arrengment mode, i beilive its easier to delet parts you dont like then consolidate as a single sound, this way you have a better visual perception

[@pietroguglielmini1417]

I agree. But probably he was working with a drumloop. So he didn't make it personally. I usually use drumloops too, I don't make them from scratch.

[@RiriRishu]

You look like Dan from Lucifer..... Love your vids Btw dayum helpful they are

[@vladiatormusic]

At 6:46 you can instead right click on the audio loop and select "Slice to new MIDI track". This will chop the sample by transients (or by note length if you choose) and then you can mute notes that you didn't like or move them around. Would be much quicker to experiment with, than painting the volume automation.

[@iamdreWhite]

13:48 best part of Tutorial

[@gabsy8151]

hahah I think it's actually 14:45 but true hahaha, wtf happened here

[@TiagoMilanov]

refreshing to watch this guy after making music at 6Am :D

[@hubertprieger1766]

[@no_iris9868]

😎 Diva

[@benjaminvoltage3214]

👍🏻👍🏻🔥

[@TheRealDJ2Ten]

Nicely done. What is the Vocal Eye randomizer? Where to get it or how to create it?

[@amrsalahmahmoud3034]

Nice video as always, I like the sound of these drums Kick & Snare & hats & claps where I can buy similar are you selling on a web page & if yes which pack Tech House ? Thanks a lot

[@j.veroni]

I was surprised you left out making specific drum sounds early or late.

[@djlick2]

Switch to classic control on the Ableton sampler and the automate the sustain or decay....that is how you can automate the length of a drum sample.

[@thegoodkush1017]

I was just gonna comment this lol

[@Karabast]

or in 1-shot mode switch it from trigger to gate and change the length of midi notes

[@tech-itsamples5360]

yeah

[@marzanmusic]

Fuck m8 ima be the NEXT john mafakin summit with these techniques THANKS ZEN!!

[@sheharyartahir4670]

Bro do melodic house and techno as well

[@TheParkerwessel99]

When you use loops in this way, how do you make sure it doesn't clash with the swing that you may have on your track?

[@maxlights6021]

7:33 thanks

[@happysinha]

🔥🤷🏻‍♂️🙆🏻‍♂️

[@matttorrence2900]
