Thank you for demonstrating the sound between each step now! It makes the videos a lot better for learning what impact each step has on the sound.

It would be so cool to see you make a real piano sound

Man, I'm exited by wavetables, getting realistic sounds. Yust discovered it yesterday.

I got pretty convincing bass tones out of using low amounts of FM on a sine wave (there is an electric bass in Backstreet Boys "Everybody" that has almost the same harmonic spectrum as when you use FM) But your way is incredible with emulating the different fingers being used by a bass player! Great video :)

Dude Eric, I love your tutorials. I feel like I have learned more about sound and synthesis just walking through these than anything else. Where/How did you learn so much about sound design? Thanks, as always for posting these!

Cool tutorial thank you but can you make realistic bass slap sound? Please 🙏

Great tutorial! What I'd also like to see is how to model a (clean) electric guitar. Obviously, distortion is an entire field by itself but an amplified e-guitar without distortion / Pat Metheny type of sound would be interesting to learn. Also, it would be great if you could talk a bit about your thought process. Like, how did you determine that a square wave with PWM would result in a good bass sound? Just trial and error? Or is there some physical principle based on the way bass strings behave that made you pick it?

Been addicted to your videos, you're so smart. Did you ever attempt to make acoustic drums? Imagine a full drum kit using Vital only 😅

@drewburke6371 Ай бұрын

Man in my experience acoustic drums are so hard to synthesize. A lot of synths just do not have a good way to accurately mimic a snare drum's partials.

@unfortunateplateau8864 Ай бұрын

I second that he should try to make acoustic drums. In theory based on his other methods it should be possible, but the hard part is the room sounds, not to mention the changes in timbre based on dynamics. A real kick drum on a recording is a combination of 2 or more mics on the kick itself plus overhead mics, room mics, mic bleed from other kit mics and then lots of parallel processing, and layers of compression and saturation. A lot of moving parts. The room sound itself really changes the sound drastically. Having a room that works with your song is important.

Clicked on this from my recommendations because I had a hunch that it would be good and it's even better than I thought. That's a 9/10 as far as tutorials go. As a bass playing person, the only thing I would tweak more is the shape and duration of the overall decay. Can you elaborate on that bump at ~180 Hz in the EQ? You didn't really get into that. Your reasoning for everything else in the patch is sound, though. Also I agree with the other comments here about showing some drum synthesis. Specifically, there's a fairly recent couple of videos by a person/channel named Zion Jaymes who showed an approach to sythesizing snare drums with just feedback and filtering from one single impulse, instead of the typical "body" and "noise" layering. The results are very good. I'm curious what your take on that might look like.

@EricBowman Ай бұрын

Thanks for the kind words! The bump at 180 Hz is supposed to help emulate a cabinet or an amp. I notice most of the time when bass is amplified, it has some kind of resonance in that range.

Could you patch an old fender bass? That would be epic. Yesterday I remade the Realistic Brass Sound but in Ableton Wavetable.

I don't know if you still recreate Sounds but if you do can you try doing the bass/lead pluck from amnesia - Nissan playa?

Hmm i don't have a Point Cycle option for LFO

@EricBowman Ай бұрын

What version of Vital do you have?

@dreamaera Ай бұрын

What’s the usual price? I can’t tell if the discount is being applied..

@EricBowman Ай бұрын

Looks like the discount price wasn't showing up on the product page but it's fixed now. At checkout, you’ll also see the coupon applied and the amount you save.
