How to Make a Cyberpunk/Dark Synthwave Bass in VITAL // Sound Design Tutorial

[@jazensounds453]

I know this isn't my usual style of sound, but with the release of Cyberpunk 2077 today I was feeling inspired :) I'll go back to making more melodic/chill patches for future videos. Let me know what you want to see next!

[@richardmarch3750]

Holy WOW I love this sound man! I mean if u don't want to keep making sounds like these I'm totally fine but if u keep making more I'm 110% supporting it

[@chrislowelotriet3804]

This sound is amazing could you maybe make like a sine hit thing😂

[@Gome.o]

Golden Features please :-)

[@MegaZekee]

this is awesome thank you

[@EIDimension]

Finally, a tutorial I can follow without dreaming of having FL or Serum

[@crisoliveira2644]

"dreaming of having FL" I remember back in the day, it wasn't even called FL Studio, but just Fruity Loops. Didn't imagine it would become so big.

[@dickdiamonds3410]

Fl studio producer edition is only $200 and you get lifetime updates. Definitely worth it

[@mattstroker]

@@dickdiamonds3410 Yep. If one really starts to use it to do more than just see if one likes this stuff, it really is worth the cash. And if you wait for a special offer, Christmas or so, prices come down quite a bit still. Definitely worth it. Far more than any game orso.

[@Gome.o]

Homie, I know you only started uploading a week ago, but your channel is quickly becoming my go to for creating SICK NASTY synth sounds in Vital. Love that you start every video with a preview of the sound followed by no nonsense to the point explanation of how to set it up. I make sure I watched every video you upload. The value you're providing is tremendous. I'm gonna go ahead and request Golden Features type sound deconstruction in Vital please :-).

[@jazensounds453]

Thanks for the kind words, I’ll see what I can do 😁

[@sikic996]

This is so fucking useful, that heavy compression after the distortion is exactly the sound i was looking for, thank you so much

[@twosnakse]

Your tutorials are the king for Vital. I joined the discord too! Thanks so much.

[@justingriffin36]

Your videos are amazing. I have NO IDEA what I'm doing when it comes to sound design, and just following along with your videos is super helpful. Have you ever thought about making videos where you explain your decisions (aka the why behind each decision in your tutorials)? Or even just basic sound design tutorials where you're not just showing how to make certain sounds but actually explaining the fundamentals and basics? Could be really useful for beginners (including me :) ) to start teaching themselves how to do their own synthesis/sound design. Kudos though, you're awesome.

[@jazensounds453]

I’m happy to hear you like the videos! I have plans to do something like this eventually, but it might not be for a while.

[@justingriffin36]

@@jazensounds453 fair enough. I bet that'd take a lot more effort to create. Either way, keep it up dude. Loving the videos. One of the first times I've actually enjoyed sitting down to watch videos on sound design.

[@bruellbart2380]

@@jazensounds453 @Justin Griffith I'd love this. I often look at the thousands of options and don't really know what they do. Sometimes they alter the sound, sometimes they depend on another setting... ooff!

[@SomeAssh0le]

Thank you so much this is exactly what I was looking for. Learning how to use a synth for the first time and 90% of the other tutorials just show you how to make this goofy shit that sounds straight out of a 2004 highschool rapper's mixtape. Would love to see more videos on heavy metal synth patches like carpenter brut style stuff.

[@ertertz9408]

Amazing sound. Got any ideas on how to recreate the "Combs" and "Reverb" filter sound from Serum in vital? Or do you know if Matt will bring this in a future update?

[@jazensounds453]

You kind of get what you get with filters- the best you could do is try combining a couple. I’d assume more filters are on the way in future updates, but for now I’m sure there are more important features on the list.

[@gabrielforsberg8744]

its very apparent that you have a deep understanding of synthesis, I assume that you have some kind of formal or informal training. Do you have any resources that you recommend for someone who wants to study synthesis to get a better grasp of the basics? additive/subtractive syntheis etc.

[@jazensounds453]

Check out my learning sound design series! Only have a couple episodes so far, but it should be what you are looking for

[@Rzn8B58]

Nice dude! I was baffled by how to set up the macros till I watched this. are the ms times set to a specific bpm or key or just by ear?

[@colatoxic4409]

Thank you for the very cool tutorial, the sound is really nice and as rookie I learn a lot about sound design. So in the end of the video, I see you modulate a lot of stuff to macro. So by instinct, I assume a good way to put good use at that would be create an automation clip to further control those macro, to create something like a cutoff-increasing-build-up-sound. but when I try this on a FL studio, I found that using tool > last tweaked > create automation clip is not working for the my project. I did made an automation clip, but seem that the clip didn't control the value of macro at all; no matter how I chance the line on the automation clip, the value stay constant and did not move at all. It seems like it some how lock at a same value since even I manual tweak the value, when I play the clip, it back to the lock value again. I have no idea if I mess up any thing at the process, so i went online and read online discussion about FL studio don't support automating third party plug-in, if that is the case here, is that any way to achieved similar effect on Vital of FLstudio? or could be I just did something wrong?

[@jazensounds453]

I use FL too and never had issues using the last tweaked parameter option to do automations. Not sure why you are having problems, I'd delete the automation clip and try again.

[@Rzn8B58]

@@jazensounds453 a tutorial on how to route those macros to automation in FL would be sweet too, as well as different methods of using them in context of a groove.

[@turtlemouth]

I'm just starting out and it seems like an impossible mountain to climb. It's hard to fathom someone sitting there and thinking, "The chorus in this bass needs the cutoff to be around...idunno...107.3. Yeah, that sounds good." I guess I'll just keep plugging along. What else am I going to do, right? Good tutorial and nice bass.

[@jazensounds453]

It looks like I make my sounds that way, but the truth is I just try a bunch of random stuff until it sounds good. I usually have a general idea of the direction I want to go, but I’d say it’s 90% experimentation. When I do these tutorials I’m recreating a patch I’ve already made so it is very linear, but the sounds are almost never originally made like that.

[@demirdokum7318]

Tnx for the tutorial but... How can I use this plugin in FL Studio? I mean I can use the plugin by its own but how can I use it _in_ Fl?

[@jazensounds453]

Check out this guide for installing 3rd party VSTs: www.image-line.com/fl-studio-learning/fl-studio-online-manual/html/basics_externalplugins.htm? I'm sure you can find some videos on youtube as well

Uwuuuu Tnx bro u saved me

[@Tiggzyy]

Probs a dumb question but i dont get repeated notes if i hold down the key, have you got it set with midi hitting 1/4 notes on your keyboard or have i missed something

[@jazensounds453]

Yes there is midi

[@dante4265]

I did everything exactly just like you but mine doesnt sound like yours at all.

[@thepansexualpotato9920]

How did you automate the CUTOFF, RESONANCE, and PUSH macros? I’m on FL so I hope it’s not an Ableton only thing.

[@jazensounds453]

Turn the knob, then go to tools> last tweaked> create automation clip

[@thepansexualpotato9920]

@@jazensounds453 Ah! Thank you thank you!

[@robby1258]

How can I use the filters (automation) in FL Studio? I mean create an automation clip for push, cutoff etc? When I right-click on cutoff, it shows "set to default, learn midi and enter value", but nothing with automation clip.

[@jazensounds453]

Move the parameter, then go to the top menu in FL “tools” > “last tweaked” > “create automation clip”

Where does it start to sound different compared to the video? I usually play a demo after making changes so if you decide to try again, keep checking back to the video to see where the problem is.

[@micromando4669]

Thank you for your awesome work! Indeed i was searching for the bass/lead sound from Lazerpunk x Max Brhon - Do not disturb! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWTYmoBpgbqdiK8 Do you have any suggestions geting closer to that crazy bass? I'll try myself, but i think adding more distorsion will not do it, as it seems to be even more modulated. Nevertheless, your tutorials are highly appreciated!
