I'm loving how prolific this channel has become. You've completely changed the way I think about making pads.

I don't even make this kind of music or use this daw, but this is really interesting stuff. I've watched a few of your videos, really well made stuff!

Thanks Ragg. Do you produce music in general? If so, in what genre? Just curious

@Raggaren02 10 ай бұрын

Ye I make underground rap beats I would say. Sometimes ambient sound, but a lot of different kinds of melodies. With trap drums, 808s and stuff like that @@Thought-Forms

What a privilège, to have channels like these who present ambient jungle videos around the time where im making it. Its kinda in its second peak after the 90's! For now i make my pads in vital or alchemy and send it to tal sampler an old beast.

@Thought-Forms 10 ай бұрын

It has been seeing a revival for sure over the past few years. Next wave, IMO! Vital is so killer, hard to believe it's free with all that power under the hood. combined with tal-sampler - 👌

I have no clue how it works, but the simplicity and the bass drop in those jungle tracks are what keeps me interested lol

@Thought-Forms 10 ай бұрын

Amen! So easy to overproduce these days - when I look back & see what made some of these old tracks so good, its often the simplicity

Yesyesyes I was waiting for you to cover this one. This shoots me back to my childhood. The stuff you teach I also apply to my dawless setup so for those who think the DAW makes the difference: it is what you want and what you do that covers the gap. I want to thank you for your hard work. This is awesome, keep it up please. Much ❤ from belgium.

@Thought-Forms 11 ай бұрын

That's the way to do it! Concepts that can be applied to any musical setup :) What's in your dawless setup??

@synthphilosophy 10 ай бұрын

@@Thought-Forms Exactly! :-) I have the digitakt as the central unit, accompanied with microfreak, minifreak, a bunch of Korg volcas and the nst1. Also some pedals and a Roland j6. I record with a zoom R20. On the road or on lazy days (not enough of these in my life) I have the polyend tracker mini and a field recorder. It's not gear but time and priorities that are the challenge. :-p. It's content like that of yourself that is fuel for my (and many others) creativity. And it's not the result, but the act of experimenting that makes me happy. Screentime doesn't give me that same feeling.

I got a JV1080 and a EMU IV 5000 Ultra. Have some free time soon. Will try to use these technics with them. A video about your hardware workflow would be nice too ! So far working though the JV1080. Not that bad to operate. I still need to get a feeling for the multilevel envelopes. But pretty logic. The EMU only tried a bit so far. The pitch shifting with one sampled note is already far better than anything I tried in software. It just stays Strongs and don't fall apart. Even octaves away from the original pitch. Excited and would be very thankful for every trick ! Not so many videos about the old EMUs around.

@Thought-Forms 10 ай бұрын

Great units to have, you can do anything with those two in your studio. The E-MU's are still way under the radar IMO. Everyone is focused on Akais while E4's are sitting on Reverb for sub $500. What a deal! Happy to do a video on the hardware setup at some point!

@@Thought-Forms exactly ! I paid 150,-€ for the JV1080 and 450,-€ for the EMU. But don't say anybody ! :) love the sound ! And my DP4 and Midiverb II too ! Always tought rack units were too fiddly, but I somehow like it !

Awesome stuff, love that woozy PSX sine pad sound! I do have a quick question regarding choosing the right breaks. I have a bunch of different sample libraries (including 90s classics like Jungle Warfare and Planet DnB) but I struggle to find the right break for this style of ambient DnB. Most of the breaks I come across seem too ‘open’, ‘busy’ or ‘heavy’ for my liking. I really like the break sound you got here. It sounds really tight and gives space for all of the other elements in the mix to breathe. Did you pull that break from a particular sample library? Would you happen to have any recommendations for sample packs that contain break loops which are best suited for more ambient DnB? Thanks!

@Thought-Forms 10 ай бұрын

Cheers brandon! Yea it's tricky to pair the right break up. It really just comes down to diggin & finding something that is perfect - or is close and can be tamed back a little with some small eq adjustments. Lot of jungle / dnb sample packs tend to have a mix of breaks from busy / heavy to more subtle - so its hard to iron down one specific sample pack. This one is the "tiny" break from Jungle Warfare Vol 1 - which is a basic 2-step beat (a kick, a snare, and a hat) - 2-step beats do tend to be pretty sparse & stripped back. That said, my suggestion would be to create a custom drum kit using one-shots to get something similar - and program in a nice 2-step beat. If you really want more "Breakbeat" based breaks, there are the staples: think break or hot pants break, which you can't go wrong with

Cheers nick! No rhyme or reason for this song - was just trying to lock in a vibe and not paying attention to arrangement too much. If I were working on something for release I'd go down the more traditional 16 bar phrases route. Actually have a video in the works on arrangement ;)

How is the learning curve on Bitwig opposed to Ableton?

@Thought-Forms 8 ай бұрын

id argue its "slightly" more complex because of the potential - but it is also very similar in a lot of ways. you'll just tend to find more tutorials for learning ableton than you will bitwig - and the bitwig tutorials you find tend to go deep on some of the more advanced concepts (grids, modulation possibilities.) if you're just getting started, id go ableton. if you've produced for any bit of time, bitwig will be cake. if you dont really care and are up for a slightly more difficult challenge, go head first into bitwig

@louie1litk619 2 ай бұрын
