Thank you!

[@sikic996]

This video is PRICELESS with how much it teaches fundamental concepts in such a short time. Thank you so much!

I learned in 13 minutes what Ive been hoping to learn the past 13 years....synths & oscs makes SO MUCH MORE sense now. One of the best synth tutorials online & ive been surfing through youtube tutorials for over a decade. Just having this video's insights w/ the video/audio demonstrations is enough to get the mind jogging & feeling less intimidated when opening up synth plugins hoping to craft these different styles we've all heard but so few of us understand...til now. Thanks man!

[@bohoyojewelry8830]

im 4 months late, and me too . babout the same time frame. Gabe Miller Music you are the man

[@Frozenpotatoes8]

This video fills a perfect niche in the KZbin sound design tutorial environment. Instantly on the list of my favorite tutorials that I'll probably recommend to friends in the coming months and years.

[@FerSpada]

YOU GOT MY RESPECT Im not into EDM but im into pink floyd so this be usefull

[@DirektorVadim]

imagine being beginner and letting yourself to buy $200 synth. Absurd. No begginer will buy the plugin🏴‍☠

[@jonah5224]

Holy shit this is quality material.

[@roguedragondraksis9114]

DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED thank you.

[@akshay_creates]

You've basically summed up what I've learned over the last couple of months into one video, really cool stuff! Feel like I could learn a ton from you, subscribed!

[@hectorsaucedo4465]

Rocket powered sound.... I feel cheated... He kept saying no nerd shit. But I like learning details and information and that's what I was hoping for when I paid $150 for his master class and serum fx rack. I really only did it to support him since he did help me with his YT videos.

[@TheIndianStudioBM]

Who all felt it was like Another Life At 3:45

[@tcfween]

I'm a 49yo Heavy Metal bass player who just bought his first groovebox the other day (a ZOOM ARQ AR-96). And even though I've 'been around' and 'seen some stuff' this is my first time really exploring this genre so it's great to be able to come here and get a good, quick rundown of the fundamentals (both kinds). I actually sat with the ARQ as the video played and followed along, it was super-fun. Thanks.

[@salemisjuucy]

i don't even like/make edm music but this is still so helpful for anyone who wants to learn sound design

[@KingGrio]

Hi. I'm not an EDM guy, but I needed to work with the basic EDM sounds these days, so thank you for a very to the point video that got me covered on all I needed.

[@GabeMillerMusic]

Glad it helped! These techniques go way beyond EDM, but fully writing out electronic music made the title a bit too long

[@Unc3]

Very helpful. Thanks

[@SigilCraft]

I legit randomly stumbled upon this and am actually kinda excited to try and learn this shit

[@leiocerayt]

Why is the audio quality not so good? Because KZbins compression?

[@hecbiz75]

I wanna learn to do the "chopped up" or "intermittent cut off" stuff that starts happening at 3:07 here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rISaiWikqtudftE Is the last part of your video (bass growls) what will lead me there?

[@demetrionorden9504]

POV: you messed around with DAWs for some years now and all these words make sense when you thought you were just having fun

[@DEADMOOSE23]

I really wish you slowed down to actually explain what you are doing better a lot of times you just speed through saying slap this click that do that and don't explain anything.

[@j3ngilterra]

bro these in-earbuds gonna damage your hearing af,no offense but rugelar use will make a lot of trouble,especially if you are sound designing with it

[@TheDarkVoid]

Awesome vid! Got any tips for electro? There’s a song, smoke by au5 and fractal idk if you know it if not check it out, but I wanna make music like that, also how would I do drumstep?

[@frankvet1]

So appreciative of this video... great work, great channel! Thank you.

[@bombjelly5795]

Imagine making all these sounds in the 90s . Could have killed the music scene

[@eurometrixproductions7]

Dude I’d love to be your friend lol none of my friends are into this as much as much!

[@ageshero]

You are a wonderful BEING. Thanks for all your hard work and constant pervasive youtubery.

[@dreamcyfer7793]

Good collection, mostly just watch and comment to support ya a bit

[@sonofmyfatheralive]

youre Pro Bro! Thanks alot!! Bless by Jesus name!

[@hpomen9681]

I'm using audacity because it's a free DAW, so good luck to me.

[@GabeMillerMusic]

Use whatever you've got! Some free synth plugins and a more sample-based workflow is a good start.

[@hpomen9681]

@@GabeMillerMusic Thank you so much! I'm trying my best! XD Also, when I try do unison, there's a sine-wave-like white noise in the background. IDK what it is.

[@hpomen9681]

@@halohunter5217 i have bandlab and cakewalk. cakewalk is kinda advanced for me but ill try ardour

[@SynthApprentice]

Audacity is included in Ubuntu Studio, along with many other great free tools for production. It's definitely worth taking a look at!

[@flutefluteus8288]

this was very helpful, thank you!

[@sedozz7159]

This is a great video - I wish I had this breakdown when I was first getting into EDM.

[@DerUberBrot]

I've been using Rytmik Studio and for the most part I'm ambling about trying different combinations without any idea what does what. So sometimes my songs sound really awesome, and sometimes they sound just milquetoast and I'm never sure what I did with the synth to make it sound as good as it did "that one time". With your tutorial, I'm feeling more confident now. :)

[@codexous]

Finally something actually helpful lol

[@JonasLihaug]

This is an AMAZING how to Serum basics. Props!

[@zachd5242]

if i would of had this when i was maybe 20........

[@narizausbi9582]

How do dj effects play into key design?

[@DaveS-Ace]

Excellent video dude, well done and thanks 🖤

[@KylerPappas1]

Your video is super well made. Great teaching, editing, and recording.

[@rekhaji6436]

Is the master channel of the setuper peaking into the red? If you have any peaks over 0dB it will distort. Please do let know, We will get

[@GabeMillerMusic]

It's been a while since this video came out, but if I recall correctly I had a limiter applied (I usually use LoudMax, which is free), so it keeps stuff from peaking.

[@aaronwise1089]

Awesome but how expensive is Serum?

[@TheEarlyAstrotype1024]

Timestamp please, it would help people :)

[@MesaMinis]

How do I get that dubstep sound

[@MagneticConfinement]

Thanks for posting this... 🤙

[@citrusfruit4332]

great video thank you!

Edm song structure pls!

[@FIGSANE]

I had no idea how technical this style of music can be.

If this guy isn't, he definitely should be making BANK... as good as or even better than so many of the other guys on YT who proclaim their multi-platinum credits ! Amazing stuff...

For me, this is one of the best and easiest to understand videos about using synths and stuff. Great job and thanks, man.

[@matthewstein1110]

Great stuff, as always!

[@themanfromvolantis]

Normally I resent adverts but on this occasion I needed the break to allow my brain to stop whirling with overwhelming ideas and possibilities. Big Love for uploading this.

[@GPSCClassbymoin]

[@TheEvanAndrews]

Your bass growl really reminds me of a lot of Svdden Death songs lol. Fantastic video man.

[@berylvanniekerk8626]

Brilliant! Thanks so much, Gabe for sharing your knowledge! Very much appreciated.

[@omniosi]

really well explained!

[@BeyondtheRecord]

HOLY COW!!!! there's a lot to learn here! great, GREAT video

[@j-jack1365]

Thanks, really. I just studied a bit of synthesis (subtractive, fm, wavetable) but even though i do know exactly how many different synths works now i didn't know how to make some basics sounds

[@minionmuse8884]

Great content and it's free OMG 🔥 Wish I could've found this before(pure gold) I saw this from r/edmproduction Waiting for more!!!

[@deevital]

Thank you brother, also watched your masterclass from deadmaus, highly appreciated brother man!!

[@vocalizingdreams]

Great video!!! You explained everything super well

[@JohnDoe-mx8ij]

This is fantastic! thank you creating this video, looking forward to watching the others. You've got a great narration feng shi - easy to comprehend and follow along. Many Thanks (and of course, subbed!)

[@absolutewolf9587]

THANK YOU BRO

[@vinnity3279]

This video really helpful! I was confused by what is lead, bass, pad, pluck, etc. for a long time. Now I know the fundamental difference! Thank you!

[@richardjones7793]

Hi, Gabe regarding Korg electribe shows how about a how to use the master effects I don't know how to add a second effect from the xy pad.

[@albertpop9243]

Thanks Gabe

[@zambaboro]

Wish I had this kinda vids when I was starting out! Very useful! I just earneded a sub dude, much respect.

[@JosiahVaughan]

Blew my mind. Great job covering the basics!

[@edrosa3485]

This is awesome! I'm dying to get the heck out of the office, run home and try some of these on my analogue synths... While relatively short; this video is more densely packed than the posterior of a Kardashian...

[@HanmaAnon]

SEEEEERRRUMMMM

[@phoniexgmx975]

what is that app

[@degrav2046]

this is EXACTLY what I needed. thank you so much!

[@takemetoyonk]

Is this something you can do on one hardware synth? And what type would that be?

[@GabeMillerMusic]

You can do most of the stuff I showed on a whole lot of hardware synths. The only thing you can't do on every synth is the wavetable based growl stuff.

[@takemetoyonk]

Thank you! Sometimes simplicity works best to learn.

[@nathancunningham587]

I like the way you articulate what you are doing, easy to understand. First half of this was my fav. Love to see some emotional deep and beautiful strings.

[@JasonAhl]

Incredible bro, thank you for doing this. I would LOVE to see more content like this, maybe breaking down classic sounds by specific genre or doing like an artist profile (Flume/SOPHIE something like that).

Love the choir analogy for unison.

I was hoping you would do some videos focused on sound design. This is great!
