Very cool - happy birthday !!

[@oversleep3608]

Hey! Love the video, I've been on a retro kick for a few months so really appreciate the breakdown of tones and "feeling" of the different synths. I'm interested in how you sidechain to your kick it seems like everyone does it a bit different lol

[@ashFB2B]

ive got a video on sidechain coming soon!

[@aevin_io]

I know that will motivate me before i even go through the intro 🎉

[@ashFB2B]

rare volp

[@madman85channel]

4:10 Which preset should you use for the bass?

[@ashFB2B]

@@ashFB2B thanks bro 🎊

[@AGILISFPV]

Cool video. But with the title being ableton tutorial you dont really go though the ableton process.

[@italyisntreal]

*cries in Ableton standard*

[@FullerCircle]

I dig your take on cyberpunk, but honestly this sounds closer to future synth imo

[@ashFB2B]

.

[@_albinski]

What is that "riddim"? And also at 3:38 you say "automated with auto(something) what is the word there? I can't understand it

[@ashFB2B]

auto pan

[@_albinski]

@@ashFB2B thank you. I just switched to ableton, so I'm confused with most things in it 😂

[@springstreetstudios3501]

if you dont already def check out spire, my aboslute fave synth for midtempo/synthwavee

ive heard nothing but good things about spire!!

i used tonepusher's sound runner pack - but the sound is resampled a bunch with effects

I got ADHD and stroke from your cuts...

sorry to hear that man

[@shinobiseb]

you answered a lot of questions I had about tallcheifs video - I forget his name. Ty

[@shinobiseb]

the rolling bass is still tough to understand though. I don't have ableton so I'm messing around trying to figure it out

[@ashFB2B]

i just use an arpeggiator so i dont have to write a midi note on each 1/16th. but thats essentially what it's doing

[@shinobiseb]

I wish ash use FL studio

[@neonvoid]

cyberpunk music is 80s bc the whole genre was created in the 80s.

[@ischiy2453]

There is no such musical genre as cyberpunk in music. There is midtempo and darksynth, what is shown in the video in fact has nothing to do with darksynth, although nowadays it is often called that. The classic darksynth is Carpenter Brut or We Are magonia. BPM around 135-140. One has only to listen to understand the difference. The tutorial is certainly not bad, good luck and thanks for the video =)

Yes moar serum presets! No one have time for sound design xD

Video could have been super great but felt like the entire thing was built around selling products which was slightly frustrating

@@ashFB2B Man will be able to eat more if sponsors pay more because his videos get more views through giving more value - nothing wrong with promos but abundance my guy
