Really creative track here - I appreciate the attention to little details and intentionality of the track’s mix ! My mind was blown after the drums were created, i rewatched their creation a couple times just to really understand it in full. Keep it up NW Music!

[@nonweary]

cheers chris! put a lot of effort into the drums so i'm glad it was worth a re-watch

[@nikkifreda1828]

Words can't describe how thankful I am for this video! Really thankful someone was able to describe just detailed and simple enough and put such amazing and helpful pointers in here. Thanks so much!

[@meathead919]

I really liked this, thank you for the description of the drum and bass line for mid-tempo. Tons of tutorials for this genre but nobody explained it detail like you did. Well done!

[@DasShoPahRo]

Great video! Scenes were broken up appropriately, pacing was on par, gem dropping vs rewatch is high, and good personality! Lastly, a banger track that has depth & unique sounds. Awesome job!!! Looking forward to watching more

[@Bassboy0415]

I dont often leave comments but this video has been extremely helpful and inspiring. I'm producing a 4-track EP focused on midtempo and the advice you offer here is something I'm going to refer to many times over. Thanks a lot NonWeary. Looking forward to checking out your other content.

[@nonweary]

Glad it helped!

[@BeatsbyVanity]

This was great, one of the best Midtempo tutorials I've seen. Would love to see you make more around this genre!

[@laner4195]

Tempo change is super dope. Immediately makes you bounce. Really informative guide. Definitely gonna follow your steps. Thank you!

[@TreborYl]

Your sound is super cool and professional, the song used for the tutorial is really cool. I'm trying to follow using LMMS XD Thank you for sharing this, it really means a lot for me, I've learned a lot!

[@base13music]

[@MoooneyRain]

Dude, pls do more Midtempo videos. It 2nd viewed videos on your channel!

[@henryisaway]

Amazing video :)

[@traviskelly8678]

Hey man, this is some great stuff. I'm just getting into midtempo from a mostly techno/dnb background and the way you present information concisely really helps. If you have the time, I do have a question: when you're automating the volume envelope for the kick, you seem to be doing the inverse of what's usually done; instead of starting the gain high and tapering it off, you're starting low and then ramping it up. Normally this would lose your transient, but it doesn't seem like you have that problem here. Is there something in particular about midtempo bass/kick design that makes this the preferred choice? Thanks a lot.

[@nonweary]

Appreciate the kind words. Are you talking about the volume automation at 2:00?

[@traviskelly8678]

@@nonweary No problem! I mean the kick volume automation at 6:41 . Normally I would be applying that sort of envelope to the bass sample to duck it out of the way of the kick transient, and then apply the inverse envelope (start high taper off volume) to my kick, in order to preserve the transient but taper off the tail to make room for the bass. You're doing that low to high fade on your kick, but somehow you aren't losing your transient. I'm guessing that there might be a strong transient in the bass that's making up for it, or something else? It's a big project so I'm certain I must have missed something. Thanks for your time, appreciate the reply.

[@nonweary]

@@traviskelly8678 Ah, I see what you're talking about. I'm using that utility on the kick track just so I can reference and match the envelope exactly. I showed around 6:54 that I cut the utility and pasted it on the SC group. I can see why it would look weird though, cutting all the transients of the kick.

[@traviskelly8678]

@@nonweary Oh yeah! I see exactly what you mean now. Actually that's an incredibly good idea and I hadn't thought to reference the kick that way. Definitely going to be doing it that way from now on. Thanks a lot, I think you'll go far man.

[@Ragdad.Falderbalgen]

Is there a link to when you made the preset? I'm trying to make this bass in vital

[@brandonstojanovic5086]

Sounds more like Dillon Francis than Rezz but I get what you’re going for.

[@NatureisViolentShorts]

What sample packs do you suggest for mid tempo

[@nonweary]

Even though it's a bass house pack, KURA's "holy grail sample series'' has a lot of dark, industrial drum hits and bass sounds. I would use those to start off

[@musicotaku666]

hi, would you share the serum preset? thx

[@riot_dingo]

Second drop 😩😩😩😩

[@r0gu353]

Is it easy to do everything shown in this video in logic pro, or any other kind of DAW as well? probably a stupid question, but I thought I'd ask.

[@nonweary]

It should be… I’m not super familiar with the other DAWs but most of the things I use are universal

[@shellwhale8994]

Hi, do you put the drum buss on all the drums or just the kick?

[@nonweary]

Just the kick to add that punch

[@YLeeMusic]

It is Great! And Could you explain the whole name of the plugin in 3:40? I'm a beginner for the Ableton, thx! 😀

[@YLeeMusic]

If it is called Redux, why my Redux UI looks different from yours？

[@nonweary]

Yeah, it's redux. I have an older version of Ableton so the UI might be different because of that. The controls should be fairly similar though. I'm sure there are some good tutorials on youtube on how to use the new UI

[@vadimislearningguitar4977]

jeezuz

[@Blueray6831]

What software are you using?

[@nonweary]

this is ableton live 10

[@brink2253]

I'm lost at the finding a ride part.

[@kiillabytez]

There are no timestamps or bookmarks. Over a year later, and I'm the only one who noticed in the first 30-seconds?

[@Hybhvhvgcrctctvtvrvtb]

Yeah i know you came Here after listen to that last Virtual Riot midtempo

[@Yescly]

isso é tao aim to head kakakaka

[@Doreenic]

hi 😎😎

[@kianhendrick3794]

Not bad but also not clean ...

[@nonweary]

appreciate the feedback. any recommendations for where i should clean it up?

[@vand3stofficialmusic696]

​@@nonweary Hey boss, just your eq cut is little agressiv 48db/oct is so much, I think for keep more musicality you need to cut 12db/oct to 24db/oct but is a little detail and your production tips is really good !
