This channel is so dope; clear/practical,and I always leave with something I'm excited to try. Some channels are great for how-to's that involve a lot of button -clicking in ableton, but with this channel I get not only that but a deeper understanding of why I'm doing what I'm doing. It breeds independence in my work. I'm still quite new to producing and it can be pretty over-whelming at times, but these videos have given me such productive avenues to go down. So thanks for the tutorials, I'm sure many feel the same as I do about them!

[@OscarUnderdog]

That's so cool to hear. Thanks for sharing!

This channel is not a just you tube channel . I learning so much from you

[@f33fifofum]

Videos like this show why this is the best music production channel on KZbin at the moment IMHO

[@igelbox.]

Hihat gears trick is great. It really helped making loops less boring by adding nuances while keeping the main beat/mood stable. Thank you for revealing such a hidden gem.

For a long time I think that hi hats in my tracks sounds boring and always the same and I have to change something. I looked at a few guides but this one is definitely the best. I hope you will show how to work effectively with other percussion elements like tamburines, rimshots, toms, shakers etc.

[@PabloRodriguezwhyCharlieWhy]

thank you..... I been learning a lot more from your videos, than... wow, I never seen such simple basic videos can make a difference.... Thanks, Oscar, I bet you are a friend of Insider or a lease you know him

[@Gnurklesquimp]

Frequency shifters are my favorite tool for drums, and I probably use them on hats more than anything else. It's amazing how they can pull together various different sounds and make them sound like they're from the same kit, if not the very same sound just played differently, especially with some of the tricks you can do with freq shifters.

[@Langley-22]

Thanks man...You are amazing.. God blessyou!!! Greetings from Colombia!!!

[@OscarUnderdog]

Greeting right back!!!

[@asmadylanouerghi6978]

Been watching several of your videos these couple of days. I have no background in music, expect being a huge fan of techno and I started DJing as an amateur on and off. I've always loved the idea of getting into techno music DJing and production eventually. Things seems overwhelming at first sight but your videos are by far the best ones to grasp the essence of what techno production is about. Once I finish the free online resources, I'll definitely enroll in your course!

[@foroudifarhad]

Yo dude! you hands down have the best & most informative tutorials I've seen in the years I've spent watching production tutorials. I wish I'd seen these when I first started production

Amazing video as always, Oscar. What I appreciate most of all is that, apart from explaining the basics, you focus a lot on how to make things sound more interesting/organic and that's just what I needed personally. Really pumped up to try these new dynamics. Thanks!!

[@codyschneider6151]

Love your videos! Very digestible

[@karlonehouserecords]

couple min video long will take me like 2 days of studing :D thanks for sharing that was what i was looking for for around a year. I've never thought that hihats are so importand, and hard to process to sounds rich.

[@bmt_techno]

I really appreciate that you've made these videos available for free, because this is helping me massively to learn ableton over the summer before I start my college course. All the best brother

[@nnuae]

The jacking house part left me confused, because I couldn't figure out why the closed hats cancel the open ones when we can easily, for example, play a kick and a snare at the same time. Cool rabbit hole to research for myself though. If anyone else is wondering, research the subject of choke groups, and keep in mind that Ableton silently automatically adds them to the 808/909 core kits. You can check them out by opening the chains for the drum rack, which reveals a hidden button, labelled I/O, which once activated shows you the choke groups. Horrible UX design, but a fun adventure in learning for me, I'm glad you didn't explain it so I can do some of the work myself, lol.

[@emanuelecasareto2120]

God damn..The jackin hi hat technique is something I've never been able to figure out from trying analyse other tracks. Why in all the tuts I've watched has this never been explained? You sir are a legend. Would be great If youve done further hat technique tuts for house , tech house , deep house etc.

Drum sets are infinitely customizable. You can indeed have open and close hi hats at the same time! But it is a good thing to understand how a single hi hat works.
