[@morbid.69]

I have a small question. I recently got into production and i got into deathstep by one of your tutorial. So i have some deathstep tracks (not so good) a guy asked me to sidechain and add sub bass. Does deathstep need sidechaining and sub bass? (Sorry for such a silly questions;_;)

[@vegetablescankill]

@@morbid.69 always! Don't be afraid to ask questions, that's how you learn. I'm not sure if this will help you but a subbass is almost always necessary to get a track together. Sidechain as well. The intensity of the sidechain as well as the grit of the bass can vary depending on the genre or the feel of the song, so don't be afraid to experiment and find which combinations work best for your situation. Best of luck, hope this helps!

a Melodic Dubstep track would be sick.

[@NAWN]

This is actually a melodic dubstep track but with different drums/tempo and without growls

[@peternrdstrm]

Virtual Maxx we call that Future Bass

[@AugnierCalyenin]

@@NAWN This is not melodic dubstep in any way. Just cause it has a bunch of saw chords doesnt make it melodic dubstep.

[@NAWN]

@@AugnierCalyenin There are many different types of Melodic Dubstep and you could easily transform this project into a melodic dubstep track, because it has already a common type of a melodic dubstep drop structure. I already heared hundrets of melodic dubstep tracks (because I'm in the Melodic Scene), so I think I already know how the genre works. Just change the tempo to 140 bpm - use some heavier drums and change the rythem - add some growls in the fills and you're pretty much done. You can add some smooth drum fills if you want and also a hard hitting pluck with some reverb on it. But these elements are just optional things.

[@kvstles]

@@NAWN definitely not melodic dubstep. melodic dub is what Seven Lions makes.

[@hacktivator7906]

The end result is amazing, yet u didnt show us the sound picking part which is by far, the most important. I wanted to know why you chose each sound layer, how u processed them and why u didnt pick the ones u didnt and ended up not showing in the video

[@hanger9083]

I agree I thin Sound design was pretty much glossed over, when Its pretty much the most important part of this genre

[@blancmull3886]

Hänger porter doesn’t do his own sound design

[@sodapopgrease]

You'll learn this for yourself if you produce enough. Like anything else; "get gud"

[@imosiris]

My best advice is just to experiment and find what sounds good to you

[@shraeygangwar3966]

Same thought

[@thatguymadablowns]

Dude wtf this is soo damn good!!! Thank you for your creative music

[@ivenxmusic]

Indeed.

[@HapticNoise]

I wasn't totally sold until you played the whole thing at the end. That turned out to be really good! Definitely impressed as always, dude

[@1ajw23]

I love the tip of picking up the book on chords and learning just a few! I think it's fair to say that most people learning how to "speak" music get very intimidated by the all the possibilities, and simply just never get started. Take the pressure off yourself by learning those few keys, then find which chord shapes feel good to you and/or sound the most interesting. From there, you can look up 1-5-4 chord progressions and start with the chord you like, then simply plug in the chords that fit the progression! Keep the tutorials coming man! Love the content!

[@1ajw23]

I want to also add - for all those Ableton users out there - if you find that you're really connected with a certain key, there's a Max-for-Live midi scale plug in that keeps all of your notes in the key of your choice. Definitely useful if you want to be sure you're selecting the correct notes for that scale!

[@MayFlwr]

very true man! it's an intimidating subject, you just have to jump in head first!

[@milanovic9506]

Actually so proud of you bro, I remember when there was only 2 videos up on your channel. You've come a long way since then

[@jason0joon]

I been with you since the start dude. I remember when you were stoked about 10k subs. So proud of you

[@haritchetty]

Amazing as always. I come back to this every so often cause the song is just that fire! One thing I'd like to say however is that I think it would be really helpful for learning and stuff if you could drop FLP's of your projects in the descriptions. Just a thought though!

[@spacecamel3844]

I hope you can do San Holo next! Love your tutorials, I learn something new from you every time!

[@djdeto7382]

Plot twist: mayflwr is Porter's ghost producer

[@dhruvil_2662]

I am so proud that I subscribed you when you were having only a couple of hundreds of subs...... I have seen you evolve mayflwr

[@nerdnasty6628]

Couldn't decide on a single comment to leave, so here's 6: Best vid yet. Not best vid of yours, literally best tutorial I have found on youtube. I don't know, your style of tutorial is fast paced and packed full of info and for some reason I actually learn and retain the tips that you give. There's little to no fluff. 10/10 would recommend to a friend. As I'm writing this comment, you are at 53k subscribers. This vid has been up for 5 days and has just 200 views shy of 30k views. That's over half of your subscriber base. IN 5 FLIPPING DAYS. That is MASSIVE bro! I follow another producer channel and he has 123k subscribers, but averages maybe 1k-5k per vid. Your numbers should tell you what your fanbase thinks of you.

[@ismaelouanguich6899]

you are super humble cute keep on dude you make me learn about GENERES that's freacking osom

Only 50k subs and you get well made and very informative tutorials. KZbin, GIVE MY MAN MORE SUBS!

[@Ast3rixMusic]

I appreciate you sharing the importance of getting to know scales. You don’t have to be a master at them just be able to navigate them so you can create in any key. I’m learning dub step and find that having that knowledge is helping quite a bit with the melodies. I just need to get comfortable with sound design.

[@benalton4471]

You give producers everywhere inspiration thank you! 🙏

Yoooo that was straight🔥 holy shitsnacks! In my opinion, you nailed Porter’s vibe and this def sounds like a track of his. And it has those subtle hints of Illenium, too. Damn, anyone else wanna hear a collab between Porter and Illenium??? Haha now I wanna hear a full length song of this sample 🙌

You don't have to buy the scale book, there's a thing in FL on the top right corner of the piano roll that stamps any chord or scale you wabt

[@doomato397]

yeah guys don't learn scales, just use the tool and be the lazy stereotypical producer!!!

[@FakePlasticDrummer6]

@@doomato397 this comment is so condescending, but for real there's no shame in using the fold options on ableton or the scale stamp in FL cause at the end of the day music is music. It just opens up the opportunity for more people to make the music they want to make without learning theories right away. That can be picked up later on in life

[@MayFlwr]

you're more likely to study them if you have a physical book though. That's why I brought up if youre in a studio sesh with someone, not very cool to bust out some piano roll helpers lol. But definitely a good tool for learning!

Im pretty sure there are some printable templates of the different scales online that can be downloaded and printed if you don't want to spend money.

[@kylelin1641]

Yeah, just to like sorta confirm your feeling that the bottom is most important,the thing about chords is although the root might not always be in the bass, the bass notes are essentially the body of the chord. And musically, the bass needs to be the most present because higher registers have a ring and a sort of sharpness to them that as you go higher and higher cuts through the sound very very easily and can easily be overwhelming. The bass and lower notes, however, don’t have that same ability and act as more of a foundation to the sound and therefore need to be much stronger (not always necessarily louder) in order for its presence to be felt and be in balance with the uppers and the mids. Something that might be a useful visual would be a pyramid. At the wider end of the pyramid (the bottom) would be the bass and the lower instrumentals, they need to be the strongest/loudest in order to properly balance the sound, and if the pyramid were to be lacking of them it would most certainly collapse or be unbalanced and misshapen. The mids would be next as they are the in between and sit on the higher end of the bass notes and the lower end of the high notes. Then obviously would be the high notes, which are much easier for our ears to pick out and to hear and therefore should be the quietest. Generally as far as chords go the root is the most important note in regards to tonality and making the chord sit right and sound good, but these principles of balancing sound generally still apply.
