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! 🙌🏻

[@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!

[@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!

[@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

[@grichu]

OMG I've been looking for that tutorial for 5 years now!! THANK YOU!!!

[@jaystrata.]

Great Tutorial. Will give this a try. Many thanks

[@EDMTips]

You're welcome, Jay, let me know how it goes! 🙂

[@johnsguitarmusicanddemos]

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

[@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

[@nirelmar]

[@EDMTips]

You're welcome, glad you found it helpful! 🙌🏻 Anything else in particular you’re struggling with and would like me to cover on the channel?

[@DjSimplyNice]

@@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.

[@DSVN23]

I understand the concept already and I’m 2:40 in. Amazing !

Inspirational, Will! The polymeters are trippy!

[@EDMTips]

They are but they also a very interesting tool :)

[@rocknrory]

Perfume's "Polyrhythm" is a prime example. Top tier tune, Yasutaka Nakata is amazing

Cheers! Unfortunately, it's not mine

[@jamesdiazcomposer]

Thanks! sharing just in case: it's easier to "solo" by muting each instrument in the piano roll than by using the drum rack.

[@EDMTips]

Great tip! Thanks for sharing!

[@KlausChojetzki]

Cool tips thanx

[@EDMTips]

Really glad you liked it! Anything else in particular you’re struggling with?

[@djchemie]

Definitely trying! I make a loop pretty much every day but quite boring. This will help I hope

[@EDMTips]

You can do it!

[@LucidEats]

Love your videos. How many students do you have on your program, and how do you dedicate enough time to each student?

[@EDMTips]

Good question! Depends on the program. Just ping me an email at [e-mail] and I'll be happy to answer any questions you have :)

[@chrish215]

Ghost snare on the 15th would also add interest.

[@kangumdp]

Mate this is awesome!!! 🥳

[@myoriginalname]

Thanks for covering this. Love to see more on polyrythm and polymeter applied both to the drums and also melody and bass lines, such an interesting way of making boring simple tracks into more complex and creative compositions.

[@djGreenALERT]

Awesome! Now you've explained them, they seem like the easiest things in the world to do. Am I going to use them? Yes, although not so much in loops, but the concept (using with fx) is definitely something I wish to dabble with inside my mixes. Thank you!

[@EDMTips]

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

[@djGreenALERT]

@@EDMTips. It really is.. I've already started playing about with polymetres inside of Xfer Nerve. It's been a real eye opener.

[@mezlay2]

Love your videos! Could you perhaps do an in the style of video for some of Pryda’s older stuff. Like RYMD for example. Much more interesting track then opus.
