simple sample fun with simpler

[@paul_cochrane]

Val, You have been my favorite artist for Years. Please never stop using the amazing musical gift you have. ❤

[@Gnurklesquimp2]

Even as someone who mostly has a pretty different taste in music (Big exceptions here and there, and I always enjoy listening), I LOVE his videos. KZbin is just such a crazy resource, all sorts of perspectives, and people like VR make that dream happen. I can only imagine what it'd be like if my favorite artist shared this much.

[@WhizPill]

agreed

[@Cybersader]

For real

[@KrisHaagensen]

i feel like am witnessing a wizard showing off how he makes his potions - more of this pls, webcam is totally fine, the content is great.

[@Beatsbasteln]

after all these crazy resonator- and mudpie videos this was a nice reminder that you're just a human being with sometimes normal desires, like throwing a simple sound into a sampler. i could literally recommend this video to a beginner and it wouldn't be too confusing

Hey man, you probably won’t read this, but thanks for giving the guy in the bedroom some relatable knowledge. You’re a genius man, thanks for helping me out.

[@ericksmith1818]

I don’t even make music but I absolutely love watching your videos and seeing how you make your awesome music! So excited to see the new body of work!!

[@DHSPITROCKS]

I Have a handful of romplers and its genuinely incredible how the engineers back in the day achieved what they did. It gives you a love for samplers and what you can do with them, like faking many FX with just clever adsr and smart loop points.

[@shiftymiata]

I don't do any kind of music production and this is absolutely blowing my mind, at 11:45 I legitimately was like "Oh my God"

that shave and a haircut intro - top tier

My brain is about to melt from information overload! These tutorials have been amazing even when I’m not an Abelton user. Thank you very much and much love!

lol wow that synth at 11:42 sounds so nice. I'm ready to watch 4 hours of nature footage while that synth plays random chords in the background

[@jackknife66]

spot on :D

For me, it sounds like the ambient stuff from aphex twin🤓

Around 12:05, it starts to remind me of the Donkey Kong Country soundtracks by David Wise.

Just the tuning hack alone was worth the watch. Now I can pitch sounds that never seem to register in the tuner, using another source, like a guitar. Silly me. Thnxx.

[@lesserkey]

Man Im hype about all these uploads. keep grinding.

[@_CRiT_hits_]

Love you Val! So happy you're in a good creative space again!

[@TGKawikachu]

you say you don't have much to show us, but i don't think you know how many of us would just watch you goof around and do whatever in ableton. it's so inspiring!

[@kugelblitz1557]

That jam at the end is amazing and you absolutely need to make a full track.

[@BromotheExplorerDog]

I won't unsubscribe from your patrion because I've just subscribed and I I really appreciate what you've shared in the past year it's more than I can digest anyways, so enjoy writing music, you're our inspiration, but please do come back.

[@bananaesther]

This was such an informative and fun video to watch! Thank you VR you’re amazing

[@Chris-of2ke]

just found you. dude....as an ableton user for years is can 100% say your ideas are soooooooo fuking good and game changing!!!! brahhhhhhhh!!!! where have you been all my life!

[@octaneuro]

The way you played your melodies in this video reminds me of Video game music. Especially the ones that were more freetime

[@gemcitydad9509]

Don't ever feel like you have to make people happy. As long as your heart is in the right place and you are being your authentic self. You have no need to try and appease. I have really enjoyed the ride and tangents that your videos have inspired. Keep on being you. Much love.

[@emmeffell]

Okay that synth at 11:40 that you made sounded pretty as hell, shocked it came from that bass one-shot 😮

[@adl0815]

Wow, so much inspirations in this video! Thanks for blowing my mind!

[@timmybus21]

you've done more than enough with these tutorial series... lotta things to unpack and play with.. go get your other quests done.. and always keep being awesome 👍

[@nolanroberts2710]

Thank you so much. You have such a gift for what you do, and your insight into mangling the low end is second to none. Really appreciate you. And you know what, I have watched every video i think in the webcam format and find it's more intimate, like Im learning from a friend showing me something. Keep doin' it this way please, fantastic stuff, mate. Cheers from Niagara Falls, Canada!

[@inferis1990]

You got a like the first vid I seen now you get a like and a sub some of the best ableton content on youtube in my opinion thanks for the time and effort.

[@YbsenAK]

Why and how are you the nicest guy ever??? You just give away your genius because you know that you have to share the gift you were born with. Big ups brother, keep it up! 🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@ramizian]

This technique reminded me the intro of Mumbai Power from Skrillex for some reason, great tutorial :D

[@MetalFortress14]

You are such a kind person. Saying "you can unsubscribe and get all the stuff you want" and come back later GG I don't know many Patreons where you get so much value in reward, it is amazing. Thank you for keep going! So psyched for 2024 VR music !! Nobody asked for this but: I still listen to your song Gangsters at least weekly since it came out. love the OG scream lead! ツ OK bye

[@grahamt3744]

That intro was so thoughtful, and you're so down to earth man. Your music has always been next level, really, and it’s brought me so much joy over the years. So to me, I’ll wait however long I need to for more. Take your time brother

[@machinedrum]

Used to do this all the time in Impulse Tracker because it was the only real option to make samples interesting

[@lonlonidiot4994]

If you think people aren't getting their money's worth, it all just depends on how people use this knowledge in their projects. Also the stuff you put out are quality stuff so I don't see a problem. I think most people may just not be that knowledgeable that's why they think they aren't getting what they're paying for. 😅Don't know what everyone else thinks but I'm just saying what I feel. Just don't want you to be stressed out man. You've given me so much to learn. Big love❤️

[@s.t.p.1236]

Another gem, we appreciate it! Enjoy your time composing, please remember to take some breaks during your creative process, peace

[@alexcazet2694]

The fact that the 5th is also the 3:2 polyrhythm is magical to me.

[@henryisaway]

A cool fun fact he shared when he was featured in the XLNT Sound Podcast: He said he didn't fact check it - and neither have i - but he mentioned that if you speed sound frequencies up so that they become colour frequencies, notes in the same scale become complimentary colours as well. He also said that notes in the same scale have rhythmic relationships as demonstrated in this video. He joked about designing a table where the ratio of the table's dimensions and it's colours can be converted into a chord and a rhythm, iirc haha

[@drkastenbrot]

​@@henryisaway the part about colors is untrue and kinda nonsensical if you look at the difference in musical harmony and color theory, the two fields work entirely different. the latter part about rhythm i dont understand. what do you mean by rhythm in this context?

[@DoctorSoctopus]

@@drkastenbrot Watch this Adam Neely video to understand this concept: "Polyrhythms are Polypitch - live @ Ableton Loop, Berlin"

[@drkastenbrot]

@@DoctorSoctopus oh i see. its not surprising though, you can do this with any cyclic function and if the nodes of that functions are multiples of the logarithm of 1/12th of the fundamental it will give you a 12tet chord. you can apply the same idea to distortion and create a transfer function that turns any tone into a chord. as long as all frequencies scale with their relative factors intact it will remain a chord.

[@AnthonyRagus]

That's the harmonic series for ya, specifically the second and third harmonics. And ratios like this are the foundation of just-intonations.

[@CLOUDYIZEOFFICIAL]

Lmao I gotta pat myself on the back I was literally hearing the exact bassline and almost the same drum pattern when you started to jam 😂

[@CLOUDYIZEOFFICIAL]

**in my head lol

[@rollipolliPNW]

Just the fact that if you play a 2 vs a 5th gives you a polyrhythm just blew my mind, let’s get cookin!

[@ferench1145]

As a fellow touring musician who also makes tutorials, I HAVE to use a webcam direct into screenflow for super fast editing or else I would never get anything uploaded.

12:15 sounds like living mice - C418 (Minecraft soundtrack) except the first note here is down by one halfstep, its so funny when people accidentally write something that already exists

[@gadsdenfree]

Proposed challenge: All of the techniques you have made a video about recently all in one song on the the album.

[@PittsMultiPass]

Thanks for these videos 👍 Before you take you break from videos to go write - could you do a short description of your computing specs??? It would be VERY interesting for many of us I believe.

[@WolfTrap1000]

Great stuff, thank you for sharing!

[@date_vape]

More uploads pls sir. Your music is like my favorite style and it can be hard to find good tutorials like this for this style of edm

[@TraxtasyMedia]

I actually did a record session with a single waterdrop sound and added EQ, reverb and Delay and fiddled a lot around with it and I got some very nice results, by playing around with the pitch, mulholland drive and pogo, stereo delay and reverb in the sample precomputed effects. I rendered most parts of it for later sounddesign purposes. :D

[@nicholaschan7651]

11:30 Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the Transp and Detune settings are not tuned to "typical" tuning. That sounds super good on it's own tho!! Wondering if he did change anything around 13:54 for the little jam

[@OpticIlluzhion]

Just a small correction, while playing the kalimba on the keyboard you might be playing an F but the sample is an E

[@valentinbrunn4937]

True I didn’t adjust the kalimba sample pitch! Usually those one-shot notes on splice come with the Note mentioned in their file name but this one didn’t 😅

[@deadxcell1]

thank you for passing the knowledge 🙏

[@_madonkey_]

[@bender3773]

[@bassti-music]

yoo, when you are going to write the new music, would you mind just turning on the recording and just share this video material in which you make new songs (without commentating, so you can just focus on the producing aspect). This would be soo interesting to see. :)

[@Pazaluz]

Very nice technique with that loop! i definitely want to try that out with some one shots

[@robertfriedmann1845]

Skrillex is Mozart, Virtual Riot is the hopeless Salieri. When I listen to Skrillex, my brain just likes it. I have to do mental gymnastics to even convince myself that Virtual Riot has ever made a good song, let alone a kick or snare.
