Awesome video! I would love a tutorial on the synth rhythm used in ODESZA’s The Last Goodbye.

[@martincraig2453]

Am already using these but didn't realise it was a thing or what they were called. Thanks for confirming I am doing something right :)

[@jorisboulet8137]

Aready a must in +50% of my productions, aND not everything exactly quantized ( atleast 1 thing has to be humanized/swing) , and 1 delay in tempo and a delay thats out of tempo. HUMANIZING youre tracks gives a natural fealing (human ) AND NOT A COMPUTER TRACK. UNLESS YOU WANNA GO FOR A 1990 DETROIT TECHNO TRACK OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. + polyrhythms = deadmaus afterwatching the video i make mine different i make bars of 5 -6-7 and always a 4on the floor kick, i keap the track alwas in 4/4 duh but i just end the 5 or 6 or7 bars at 16 bars or 32 bars. 2nd rework ah okay you do that to, just like is deadmaus

[@magic777ize]

100% gonna try this

[@ctaprxd]

You got a New subscribir!

[@AKAtAGG]

One of the top 2 or 3 producers on YT right now. Great tricks that everyone should be using in every production, and so well taught. Gives a track so much more depth and interest.

[@EDMTips]

Thanks! :)

[@xInfiniD]

Just out of curiosity, who are the other 2 or 3 that you put in this shame bracket?

[@tuxievous420]

Who’s number 1 let’s see and don’t wuss out c:

[@AKAtAGG]

@@tuxievous420 my own personal number one is Alice Yelcin, been a fan since she had like 500 subs and am still a huge fan of her output

[@jeremiahpeterson7490]

I've seen several videos covering this, but your visuals here simplified it even more! Thanks for sharing!

[@EDMTips]

You're very welcome, glad it was helpful! 🙌🏻

[@Drrolfski]

This is one of your more useful videos. Your production values are getting better as well. Keep up the good work.

[@EDMTips]

Thank you so much for watching and supporting the channel, Rolf, really appreciate it!

[@jayholm3285]

i agree, thank you

[@Yemsky]

I remember being a kid in the 80s discovering Steve Reich’s Violin Phase and thought he grooved. My friends thought I was crazy. Now you meet Polyrhythms on the dance floor.

[@EDMTips]

Absolutely, it's a great tool to add interest to your music!

[@johnsguitarmusicanddemos]

This is something common in modern metal or djent. It’s what makes the songs heavier but keeps your attention.

[@rumtrax]

Just a tip when working with midi notes. If you shift click the arrow in front of the last measure it goes to the end and you can drag it without the extra note to the desired length!

[@EDMTips]

Thanks for the tip, love it!

[@KR-Roland]

You always do great videos ... and you have a very friendly and likeable nature ... I have subscribed to various music production channels but I think that yours is in the top position ... one would have to watch all your videos to really appreciate the depth of your production talents and level of experience ...

[@EDMTips]

Thank you so much for your kind words, I really appreciate the support!

[@DjSimplyNice]

@Greg 💯 agree

[@robllewellyn]

I haven’t watched one of your videos in a while (bought a Elektron Digitakt so I’ve been watching to learn that).. BOOM, here I am learning invaluable maths and music theory from one of my all time favourite channels. Thx for making this.

[@EDMTips]

You’re very welcome! Thanks for returning :)

[@Bell_420]

so glad I found this was trying to learn about the 2 things but couldent find anything on it and now youtube hands this to me

[@bobbyrinehart1299]

[@ChainSideTV]

Your channel has grown so much! Congrats on that! I found your channel when we both just started uploading videos, but you managed to keep it up and build an amazing audience. I know it takes a LOT of work to do what you do, keep it up mate.

@@EDMTips yes, the volume level on the master track when completed on Ableton Live 11 has been an issue for me. When I finish, the volume is always lower than I would like it to be. Then I open that file in Cool Edit Pro to adjust the volume level. How can I avoid that? Thank you for your help.

“program” and click on where it says “aggressive te” and change it to “analog app 1 te”
