LORN Tutorial: In the Style of Vol.25 - Lorn + Sample Pack

[@BeatsbyVanity]

👉 Check out the Lorn Sample Library: www.samplesbyvanity.com/products/lorn-in-the-style-of-vol-25 Hey guys, This was my most ambitious artist breakdown to date. Lorn really is a force of nature, one that has taught me a lot throughout researching and compiling everything I have learned into an hour long video. I definitely struggled, but I've always found that to be a sign of growth. Even though I only hit around 70% of my vision for this tutorial, I'm happy with the finished product, and I hope you are too!

[@NickHunter]

Lorn is one of the most beautiful haunting crushing artists out there. He's really up there with Tobin IMO

[@NickHunter]

Can I download the tune you made here? It's really good lol

[@BeatsbyVanity]

Thank you! I just uploaded it here: matthewvere.bandcamp.com

[@BeatsbyVanity]

Thank you very much! 🙏

[@urswild4097]

@@BeatsbyVanity My pleasure! Great work!

[@Sare204]

To me, Lorn seems to be a true, pure textural audio, visceral and ethereally beastlike. Somehow a perfect merge of Synthetic and Organic, a true cyborg, who hasn't forgotten the emotions of old. His music feels like a portal to another reality.

[@ARKMprime]

completely agree you couldn't have said it better

[@AwarSurrect]

Explained insanely good

[@faithintruthltd]

I've always thought Lorns music was 80 years ahead of its time, like its for aliens and aliens alone

[@420protoman]

I have travelled all through the universe to find this music. ttanx... now we will go back home and install Ableton on our IBM5100

[@KUSHAUFGUSS]

earth is not my home

[@ARKMprime]

His sound is an energetic access portal to our true home

[@realdiole]

You nailed it. I wish Lorn could make a music production course. I would take it without a second thought.

[@BeatsbyVanity]

As would I!

[@eafortson]

Damn this was timed perfectly. Lorn himself literally just asked the community if we would be interested in a tutorial series but you beat him to the punch. Good look. Can’t wait to dive into this.

[@BeatsbyVanity]

I did see that. I'm only an imitation, but I think I speak for everyone when I say we'd all love that. Hope this tutorial is helpful in the meantime :)

[@shaanlumley_]

where did you see this? I thought I was following him everywhere he was hahaa

[@shaanlumley_]

@@BeatsbyVanity thanks man, and also for this video!

[@BeatsbyVanity]

@@shaanlumley_ You're welcome :)

[@conorreedy4730]

Honestly I think you did a great job with this. Lorn really is his own unique form of sound design and song structure. Like the master who knows that the rules only apply to mortal beings. The rules only apply when you don't know what Lorn knows. He breaks and bends the rules to fit his sound as if he's commanding the quantum particles themselves. Cheers.

[@Nesthetic99]

This is the most accurate imitation of Lorn I've seen so far!

[@JulienEarle]

vanity is back!!!!!!!!!!!

[@downsjmmyjones101]

I love the quote "a song watching its childhood home burning down" because his tracks sound very much like a song crying. It's like he records a song and then wonders what it would sound like if he made it cry. He makes a song and then dismembers its favorite teddy bear in front of it.

[@sasanpourmasoumi5256]

Beside the very fact that you did an amazing job of laying the core elements of LORN style, the track you made is fire. Great job!

[@BeatsbyVanity]

Thank you!

[@drewbocop]

I've been mesmerized by Lorn's music since I first heard Ask the Dust the year it came out. There are so many layers and so many nuances that you can notice something new with each listen. You said it right when you called him a force of nature.

[@bogsy_us]

You did an amazing job honoring that sound, I cannot begin to understand the difficultly you went through because of how unique that sound is. Outstanding work!

[@BeatsbyVanity]

Thank you!

[@anotherbrickmore]

Your dedication to recreate those sounds in the box is really inspiring

[@redwolfmusic8728]

Cant lie this has gotta be my favourite tutorial on KZbin, have watched this a few times now!

Lorn is one of my favorite artists bro thank you for this one fam

[@BeatsbyVanity]

[@adgersont]

@@BeatsbyVanity It definitely helped...appreciate all the hard work you do fam

[@Vojtakrasa]

Man, I can't even describe how inspirational this video is. Even though you didn't go through all the tricks Lorn uses for obvious reasons, the quotation and research included is such a nice touch. Thank you for this.

[@BeatsbyVanity]

You're welcome, glad it helped!

[@stability703]

Wow man you killed it!! Ive always been intrigued by lorn since the early 2000s paltalk chat room days where turntablists would get on to session..lorn would get on and scratch over his beats its crazy to see how he progressed so much from then to develop a completely unique style.

[@Michael-lg4wz]

wow sad I missed that I remember paltalk, limewire, SoulSeek. Good times

[@BeatsbyVanity]

• woooow I thought I’d never see you post again, glad to have you back man •

[@BeatsbyVanity]

Thank you, I'll always continue to make tutorials - I just need to sort my consistency out.

[@Maxarcc]

I can't even put into words how much I love this video. It's so holistic and complete. It not only shows the technical and compositional side of things, but what I love especially is that you use Lorns vision and philosophy (by doing research and quoting him) to understand him on a deeper and more conceptual level.

[@BeatsbyVanity]

Thank you, I really appreciate that! I’ve always found the philosophy to be the more interesting aspect of an artist. Lorn’s been kind enough to share so much of this online, I don’t think a video about him would be complete without it.

[@retepskate8476]

So glad to have you back, If you ever get the chance style of chrome sparks would be great.

[@ahobimo732]

I saved this video ages ago and am just getting around to watching it. I think it's a quite a bit past my skill level, but I'll keep plugging away at it! I shouldn't be surprised that Lorn's sound is so carefully crafted. After all, it's ultimately tone that defines his music, IMO. MF has vibes for days. I think you truly did his music justice, and that is no small feat. Thanks for sharing.

[@BeatsbyVanity]

Thank you for the kind words! I agree with all of your points. For me, Lorn is the goat of production. I'm planning to revisit his sound again in the future as I think he requires a series, rather than just a single video.

[@maxx_hz]

Great to see you back vanity! Hands down best sound like tutorials, and best in Ableton.

[@justincollier1042]

Wow this is absolutely incredible. By far one of the best tutorials I've ever watched (up there with my personal favorite: your Burial tutorial)! Your attention to detail is insanely impressive and your tracks always sound so amazing. Welcome back!

[@justincollier1042]

Also, a tutorial in the style of Aphex Twin would be awesome as well-in particular, his more ambient, experimental techno-style music like "Xtal," "Tha," and pretty much the rest of Selected Ambient Works 85-92 and Volume II. I love how he combines so many different elements in unpredictable ways, similar to Burial. He once said something along the lines of being "addicted to making noises," which I think with your crazy talent for sound design would make for an amazing video.

[@BeatsbyVanity]

Ah, that’s kind of you to say, thank you! Aphex Twin is definitely on the cards, my only worry with someone like that is agreeing on what his ‘sound’ is. The sheer amount of music that he has released makes it hard to weave a thread throughout his sonic worlds. Perhaps picking a few album’s or series would be the best approach.

Bro. I remember years I'm talking eons ago when I first heard lorn I googled everywhere to find wtf the genre was and now your explanation makes sense why I couldn't find it. Cos I recall at the time I was looking for tutorials to create music like that. Btw your track here sounds a lot like tattered flag

[@BeatsbyVanity]

Dude, saying my music sounds even remotely like Lorn is the highest compliment you could pay me, so thank you! Lorn is truly one of a kind; his genre is his own, which is part of the reason tutorials on his sound are hard to come by. If you're not already in it, his Discord is a valuable resource for discovering more production techniques and information regarding his sound.

[@shido641]

@@BeatsbyVanity send me the channel name please. I would have tried to make tracks now but I sold my PC. And those years I used to use fl. Ableton was brand new on the market. I have zero clue how to use any of the tools anymore I'll have to start from scratch like complete basics But yeah I'm sure you heated tattered flag before you'll hear the similarities in your track.

i just rewatched most of your videos the last days and was pretty hyped as the youtube message poped up. And damit... you delivered 😂 I really enjoy what you are doing as it inspires me to find my own sound even your videos trying to mimic the sound of an artist. Hope to hear you back again soon. ps.: maybe with a in the style of TOKiMONSTA

[@BeatsbyVanity]

Thank you! We all begin by imitating. The point of the series was never to advocate copying (a common misconception). It was to give those who wanted it a look into their favorite artist's sound, to then take a piece from and apply to their own work. We're all just collections of our influences. Also, I covered Toki a very long time ago! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJuxqYagedCmobM

[@aminal5]

BeatsbyVanityTV yeah i know. you dont advocate for copying. Don’t get me wrong. I just found it a bit contradictory that videos were someone trying to mimic the sound of an artist inspire me the most on finding my own sound. but on the other hand it’s also clear. i’m tryin to do what i love and my own music gets shaped by what i love. if that makes sense.

[@BeatsbyVanity]

@@aminal5 I understand what you mean. The early videos were titled 'Sound like', which I promptly changed to 'In the Style of' to reciprocate my thoughts about what the message of the series was. We can't help but be inspired by other artists, so I think it makes sense you feel like that. I think our sound is always going influenced by that which inspires us.
