Sound Design Basics With Jack! - Piano and Strings

[@LangleyNA]

Please do share more _"sound design basics"_ videos with us, Andertons and Jack. :)

[@carltonhall6628]

I'm 3.5 minutes in and learned heaps already. This is the content I need to see (new to synths and sound design). Thanks for taking the time to do this, much appreciated 🙏

[@bucksterbuckster]

Not only great practical info but as a bonus Jack always makes me smile 😊

[@Padlockigami]

That pan feature for the sample synth on the NS3 blew my mind! Thanks for the tips Jack, keep 'em coming.

[@obwanz1921]

@Jack Duxbury I also like to use the cross fade/split function in the ns3 to limit the strings/pad range so that they fade out into nothing on the high keys so you only hear the piano on the high octaves. Nice video and playing bud! X

[@RonaldFigura]

Great harmonizations of that song!

[@aaronarchy11]

What song is this? It sounds familiar and driving me crazy.

[@DrGargani]

another total winner from Jack and this excellent company!!!!!!!!

[@wojtczyk]

Thanks for sharing these tips! A lot of good stuff

[@DojoOfCool]

Thanks to you and your videos Jack I just bought a Nord S3. Cool video so I can start learning more about creating sound with my new keyboard.

[@robertmichalscheck3072]

Strings and piano go together well,jack does good job here,nice chords to show examples

[@JeffPalmer83]

Simple but great idea to hard pan two string or pad sounds!

[@ianflurrance8438]

Jackie boy I would love to see more of this! Especially would love to see some synth recipes! Maybe a sweet lead?

[@Garflips]

I feel the same way about strings blended with piano. I prefer a pad that is a little less obvious... less mids in the texture. A more ethereal pad can have a bit of modulation and not be distracting. Good stuff Jack.

[@joshjamesuk]

Jack, it would be super cool to see how you’d create that Express Lead Patch that you love from an init patch.

[@PeranMe]

Invaluable stuff as always from Jack. Thanks!

[@DavidCava]

I bought my nord thx to these videos, love it and trying all these tips thx! Also the customer support in the store is great! Thx for the help always!

[@joshjamesuk]

Super useful vid, nice one Jack!

[@derekfernandez7701]

11:40 Oh this is so great - two different samples left pan + right pan- it adds such subtle complexity - you don't hear the raw sample artefacts as much. This is pure gold, thank you!! 5:11 - I still have to wrap my head around EQ. I listen to this and my brain thinks that more is better. I don't have that discernment of what to cut out - anyone have any suggestions on how to learn this?

[@freddyperezmusicentertainment]

Very nice, thanks

[@LightBranches]

Mr. Mellow...smooth teachings.

[@michaelekwulugo8659]

Awesome content! Thanks Jack 🙏🏾🔥

[@Garflips]

One more tip to get a more ethereal string sound is to add a bit of shimmery reverb just to the strings but not to the piano. Might be easier to do if your sounds are coming from two different modules though it depends on the flexibility of your keyboard.

[@JoeLinux2000]

I have a Yamaha DGX-670 and one thing I detest about the instrument is that the string sounds do not sustain with the sustain pedal. So far the strings always cut out ahead of the piano when the pedal is used. It's very annoying. Your suggestion of dropping the EQ on the bottom end of the strings is excellent. Cross velocity between the piano and strings is very helpful in addition to an expression pedal. You have to have a keyboard that is actually capable of cross velocity,

[@pjlira]

Please make a review video of the new UAD B3! You would do that really well and really tell the truth!

[@dmcgwhisper5945]

Always thought it would be nice if the strings didn't play exactly what you play in the piano ie you set strings or pad to play inversions, or miss out 5ths, or follow a designated string line/pattern. Also, that the strings/pad can be dipped below the set level with a pedal (gradual not cut out completely), so say apply toe pressure to the peddle to decrease level (maybe?).

[@jgooch99]

Good stuff

[@gooneybird808]

I think I’m over most gear...that nord though

[@Justin_collier]

I play on a kawai mp7 se and it has a great action and sound i play on a nord at my church and the issue i have on both keyboards (kawai and nord) IS to get it to where i can save the presets that took me time to make and how to get them to power on to those presets. Every time I turn them off it erases them

[@FridayEveryday]

It's Friday then, Saturday, Sunday... WHAT!

[@ritamanchester4655]

Hi! Great channel man!!! Do you know if casio cdp s110 has the same quality playingwise as casio cdp s100 ..? i saw a video of yours where a friend of you was blindfolded, and the casio cdp 100 came out of it very good, nr. 2. I want to buy a white piano (I`m shallow, sorry) and the 110 is white. Are they the same when it comes to keys hammer action /weighted and so on, or maybe even better? Or if anyone else of here knows it if he don`t have the time to answer :D

[@jezaustin]

Anyone got any advice for assigning the expression pedal on a piano which is less configurable than the Nord? I'm layering with an external midi instrument, but neither seems willing to override the default (full range cc11 volume swelling). Do I need another device to read the expression pedal and apply my desired range and transmit to my chosen instrument(s)? If so, what device is that? Do I need to invent it?!!

[@TheBuffjam]

Ahh, the sound of cheese... A mellow chunk of Dairylea.

[@JayTheLane]

Lol start by using a Nord.

[@natevizzi2901]

This is not sound design or programming … this is making a combi

[@jackduxbury1632]

Good point!

[@couchcamperTM]

If you want to reach 100k subs you should go back to the quality standards of 2021. I wonder why you upload a sound design video where even Jack's voice is clipping, and the piano sounds like you sent it through a distortion pedal. I mean, come on, guys. You can do better
