If we join your patreon, would you listen to our tracks and give us some ideas on how to improve?

[@TheXHypno]

When this channel uploads, you already know it would be a new discovery in music production

[@OscarUnderdog]

😊

[@AlexRome]

I love the terminology man I learn so much every time you upload

[@OscarUnderdog]

🤗 I feel the same waaaaaay Alex!

[@BaddBadger]

I've always had a problem any kind of learning that is even remotely structured And, unfortunately, this includes music tutorials. While i have absorbed a lifetimes worth of useless general knowledge from random sources, i have never remembered what i set out to learn. That is, until now. Because there is just something about these Underdog KZbin tutorials that i find to be exactly right for me and whatever my learning problems are. And in the months since finding this channel my techno has come on more than in the previous 30 years! Now, how about some Drum 'n' Bass lessons as well ? ;-)

[@OscarUnderdog]

Sick, so happy to hear this!

[@rnormgeek]

I def can relate to this. Plus your project files on the patreon are the cherry on top: we can follow along your tutorial with the same project running. Game changer. Thks!

[@samuelp13]

This final tune is so beautiful, loving the channel. So much usable and implementable knowledge, a real step up for youtube tech channels 😎

[@gabrielvrij1516]

Great to hear m8, it is indeed a sick channel for techno tutorials. For dnb, maybe check stranjah or dnb academy

Every time you upload a video I realize that I never stop learning, awesome!!!!

[@afrohawk]

You're very good. Thank you for your free insight. You keep reminding me that modern music production is about stretching the technology in unique ways. Core production imagination trumps any plugins for distinctive sounds and satisfying listening.

[@sebibrg1161]

Amazing creativity! Thx

[@hollywood4834]

Yes, great way to start the week!

[@OscarUnderdog]

Happy Monday 😁

[@misfitautorifle]

this is one of the coolest production videos i’ve ever seen, i’m so happy i found this channel

[@larcomj]

im new to music production and i have binge watched so many production videos and your channel is the only one that i still watch on the regular. You always have great content and present it in a great way.

[@OscarUnderdog]

I appreciate you 💚

[@IterSoni]

you have without a doubt the best production videos ive been loving them

[@JohnDoe-bp5js]

Moment I heard the chords I was taken back to Jubel by Klingade. Classic house track.

[@danebarrett2416]

Learnt so much in such a short space of time by following your videos, thank you for taking the time to do them

[@user1756]

I'm pretty new to producing and I have the Live Suite, but I had NO idea there's a thing such as resonators. They are crazy inspiring and I just started a new track. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us, you're my favorite teacher on KZbin. Keep up the good work, I just KNOW that this channel will be at 500k+ subs in a couple of years. Just thank you

[@OscarUnderdog]

😁💚

[@andieg2836]

Last track is fresh

[@vvcv__00]

So perfect for what i've been trying to figure out. I don't know if this is going to get me exactly what i want in some of my work, but with this technique, i'm by far a few giant steps closer. Thanks a lot, and subbed.

[@Wypiszwymaluj1]

I am doing your stuff on MPC - i am happy with results. Peace!

[@pekkapulli]

Thanks, this was super useful! I've automated the old resonator in the past, and I don't miss the process 😅

[@2granular853]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@CreativeBassNation]

Hey man, I just wanna say you changed everything and re ignited a spark where i stop waiting for happy accidents and flipping presets and brought me back into the passion for sound design. the quality of everything has made massive improvements since i found this channel. and on top of that i hate watching tutorials and now i find myself often just watching urs from start to finish and get so inspired and dive into ableton. thank a lot homie I think I speak for everyone when i say your impact is greater then u can realize. :)

[@TERROR770]

Amazing skills !!

[@nanodisco]

It's beautiful. What you created has a Basic Channel vibe to it with a bit less crunch and reverb. I like... Thanks for another helpful tutorial.

[@timothylauber4600]

Awesome--as always from Underdog!

[@saifullahvaid617]

I might change my DAW from FL to ableton just because your teaching skills is top notch my man

[@BaddBadger]

I was using Ableton for many years, but recently moved across to a combination of Reason and Fruity Loops. IMO, Fruity Loops just sounds WAY better. Plus free updates for life! But i guess you can either start in one DAW and then bounce stems across, or just sync as many DAWs as your computer can handle. I have come to think that Ableton is best at time stretching, but over-rated other wise. And maybe it's just like Facebook in that it's become the one that people use, just because it's the one that everyone else seems to use. I'm just saying, i think you already have the better DAW in many ways.

[@BaddBadger]

@@dondiegodelavega1695 I hate how you have to construct a song in FL. It feels completely the wrong way around somehow. But for coming up with great sounds and quick ideas, FL is king. I then bounce the stems over to Reason for everything else (including syncing my hardware). Over the years i have learned to hate almost everything about Live. But if it works for you then carry on! :-)

Great stuff as always, Oscar! I'm looking forward to the time I have time to take your class.

[@luisg3765]

thanks men your techniques are incredible , thanks for sharing

[@thechampollion]

OMGNESS! This is absurdly amazing! Thanks a lot man!

[@GorgonDrageil]

I've used this effect before to spice up more repetitive melodic phrases. Works wonders. 👌🏽✨

[@rustyreview]

I was able to achieve something similar with a the Alligator gate plugin in Reason. Thanks for the upload!

[@mikesyogapodcast]

Great stuff. Easy to follow. Brilliantly explained. Love the effect. Thank you!!!!

[@rnormgeek]

Whoo I've been trying to do that from your preceding video. Pretty cool to see how you do it

[@flaviobarbosa6064]

Amazing!!! Thanks a lot!!!

[@fairchild2008]

Oscar, the gift that keeps on giving. Thank you so much for your channel, your Videos are by far the best out there, your teaching deserves an Oscar😉

[@sophialiarou4688]

very very interesting!!! thank you👌

[@ThePigeonEater]

Always brilliant 👍👍👍

[@OscarUnderdog]

No YOU're brilliant

[@julioxstaticv3782]

This is similar to how I use vocoder, which has become one of my favorite things to do as i get melodies incorporated into random other sounds. But this method you showed actually looks like it has many more options and ways to adjust. I'm pretty hype to start experimenting with thism

[@irishmm]

Such a great video thank you! Have always wanted to know how to make that dub techno echo sound. And now to figure out how to do it in Logic Pro X! 😁

[@samkenny3075]

Awesome-- I'm using this immediately-- thanks!

[@constantin_singer]

Great technique! It creates a very original sound, thanks for this video! 👍🏽🔥

[@i.syntaxerror]

I love so much yours explanation. I am learning so many things because I would like to join your classes quite soon. In other hands I like choices of topics you had developed. My kind clue: Side-Chaining (compression) or I missed.. Greetings!

[@jordanparrott4357]

You guys are AMAZING! Really appreciate your delivery on all your videos, just straight to the point production techniques for those novice/hobby music makers out there like me. I keep coming back to your content for how to make my productions better. Thank you :)

[@OscarUnderdog]

Thank yooouuu!!!

[@DmitryPuffinOfficial]

Awesome! Worth trying spectral resonator one more time :)

[@Heavee773]

Goooooood stufffff!!!! All the way from Chicago! Thank you very much for this wonderful tip! I can’t wait to go home and try this out! 🙌🏾

[@videosvideos6243]

I have messed with the Berlín resonator in the past but never for drums…interesting…

[@sun-ts7448]

Great! Is there something similar in FLStudio?

[@Pupfynn42]

Hey from Tampa FL! I was super excited to do this in Logic Pro, it works similarly with the stock Vocodor acting as a resonance filter. It felt like I had an actual breathing harmonic backdrop *chef’s kiss* thanks for the tip Oscar

[@noegomezartal4748]

awesome love it, big fan of yours

[@9b0]

The resonator is actually not a bunch of resonant filters. Each resonator is just a simple delay line, where the delay time is tuned to the length of the period time of a pitch. The feedback value of the delay lines is determined by the decay parameter (each resonator decays for the same amount of time), color represents the frequency of a lowpass filter inside the delay line (called damping mostly). The difference between mode A and B is that in mode B the feedback of the resonators is negative (resulting in odd harmonics). The filter part is just prefiltering the signal before it gets into the resonators. Resonant filters would also make sense, but that's more like modal synthesis. An example of this can be found inside Live's Collision instruments (features more-or-less the same process as AAS's Objeq filter) - this is really a bunch of resonant filters (one lowpass, and a lot of bands). The spectral resonator uses FFT for processing, that's why it causes a decent delay time (the more harmonics you use, the more the delay).

[@OscarUnderdog]

This is a super insightful comment, thank you so much for sharing this, I had no idea about a lot of this. 🙏

[@Normandy_Mike]

Fantastic for inspiration. I just hope I can transpose this technique into my dawless array.

[@raul.77]

Nice work! It reminds me the Mauricio's M tracks or the Basic Channel dub techno vinyls.... Really nice chanel Oscar, I learn (english too...) and enjoy a lot your tutorials.

[@hannesmiles1973]

Thanks for this Oscar! Is there a Resonator PlugIn you would recommend?

[@Nohledge]

Truly reminds me of some Kolsch songs. Is he using a similar technique?

[@tntero]

This is an amazing trick and the sort of creative approach that I love about electronic music. I'd just like to say that I don't agree the choice of kit on your shadow harmony track doesn't affect the sound. I could hear those hats coming through as if they were actually being played and I think ultimately that's what led Oscar to remove them because they just didn't sound good there. I think maybe changing the hats would have allowed you to keep them in? But this is just a guess as I haven't tried this technique yet...

[@OscarUnderdog]

I do agree with you there, I was a bit surprised at how much I didn't like those hats when they played :D

[@ManCalledMif]

Excellent lesson as usual. Very helpful. Thank you 🙌🏼

[@PresumablyTunes]

I'm fairly sure on Fruity, if you're doing this you can use Vocodex and just have the synth as the carrier - not sure it's the exact same thing, but that's what just occurred to me :)

[@OscarUnderdog]

Yeah vocoders can do a very similar thing indeed!

[@SeldomeMusic]

Спасибо больше, очень полезный трюк 👍

[@paulhellings]

Oeffff nice david lynch vibe going on there

[@spiritwisher]

Could you get something similar with a vocoder? Live 10 User here

God this channel is something else just love it...all the way from South Africa respect Oscar🙏❤️❤️

[@OscarUnderdog]

Cheers smiley 😁😁😁

[@willbull7867]

Firstly, Oscar, huge thank you for all that you do. You have very quickly become one of my favourite people. Secondly, does anyone have any idea how I would replicate this concept on Logic?

[@OscarUnderdog]

Thaaaanks 😁 i dont actually, maybe use a vocoder effect?

[@Heavee773]

This is gonna sound great in some Chicago footwork

[@urphakeandgey6308]

Your channel is great for subtetly, which is something I think I need to work on. I'm good with music theory and composition, so I have all the "macro" elements pretty much on point. Structure, chords, melodies, so on. I always think weird subtle stuff like this is my missing sauce.

[@keithlow3056]

Wow! Great video, it's very inspiring however I am not sure what I can do to get this effect using Acid Pro 10. Let's see what we can do, although if you have any hints, it would be greatly appreciated.

[@machinageist]

I was wondering if you could make a video on the style that Drumcell and Droid Records puts out? That would be phenomenal!

Does anyone have an idea to utilize this idea in Logic? Like using 3rd party plugin? It'd be very much appreciated if someone could! Thanks!

[@innerstatejt]

Sounds a bit like Alphaville - Forever young. Great work

[@amarokker]

Superb tutorial. I would be curious how to achieve this in Reason? Any ideas?

[@OscarUnderdog]

I'd say the newer vocoder they did can do a pretty good job at that!

[@amarokker]

@@OscarUnderdog Oh, I have totally overlooked that machine, thanks for reminding me.
