[@Growlbittz]

Damn I remember watching this when it came out. 'Gave me inspiration for my artist name. Good memories. This video never gets old. It's a classic and always will be.

[@lucasp6449]

I have watched this video probably 20 times, every single time I do the example track you're using to show how to put together chords and stuff is so beautiful.

[@AedannTracy]

Wonder how many people sampled the intro

[@zerod8293]

+Zeaynon B. Many many people.

[@oneebaez]

how

[@lovefrommana]

Stephen (Seamless) taught me how to use Vocodex, I told you about it, and now just a few days before you're livestreaming with him, you're teaching the world about it too. Crazy how things go so full circle, huh! Much love Valentin, I can tell that everyone will really benefit from this video. :D

[@TheBlashMusic]

Yeah, Never tell Virtual Riot any trade secrets unless you want the world to know.......He literally made a career off of exposing other producers secrets.

[@lovefrommana]

@@TheBlashMusic He's a good friend, I don't mind at all. :D

[@TheBlashMusic]

​@@lovefrommana That's cool, he seems like a great guy. But, other producers definitely got a bit salty when VR exposed their techniques hahaha

[@TheBlashMusic]

@@lovefrommana I personally love his openness to the community though.

[@fearzstealth]

@@TheBlashMusici love virtual riot because he always ready to share his knowledge with others

[@LuckyInLondon]

Hey young man! As an old dog learning new tricks, please keep your tutorials coming! My 16 year young daughter turned me onto you a year ago, and I really like your music! Great collaboration with Mr. Bill on Thwek... you guys keep raising the bar, but I like that! You're gifted so keep up the good work!

[@dethswurl117]

Virtual Riot you are byfar my favorite artist and I am extremely thankful for a music tutorial by you. Happy mixing!

[@cowlordnugget6915]

[@OfficialLRD]

Major kudos to you man, everything you make is spectacular. I can't tell you enough about how much I listen to your songs, and yet you're still making a video like this to help all your fans. You're seriously the best producer...ever!

Virual Riot, u are awesome, thanks to a popular guy like u to give free tutorials and presets to beginner producers etc... Thanks alot, and keep up the good work. Peace.

[@JoeCoePhotography]

I approve of EVERYTHING in this video, especially the outro.

[@ZoltarX4]

Nice work bro! I would like to learn next time from you something like how you creating melodies in complex electro style, or especially how to drop is builded, (hope you know what I mean) etc. Anyway, great tutorial, everything is really nice explained and easy to understand either, can't wait for next episode. Always doing it awesome, Keep it up :)

[@henryrevere3821]

I like all of your stuff you are literally so talented! Keep it up I love it man!

[@AvengedLinkinPark]

cant stop liking this video. u are awesome VR, most talented artist at the moment.

[@_Sickly_]

Great tutorial man. went really in depth and you set yourself apart from most youtubers.

[@charlesl2762]

The growl for the lion of MGM is simply awesome

[@Debangan-n4u]

virtual riot is an University of Knowledge .Thank you so much for Existing in the EDM scene.Thank you for sharing such Knowledge,Love and Respect from India

[@FIVEOfficialMusic5]

Everything you do is gold O.O I'm very curious as to how much headroom you use in your mixes and if you use JUST limiting and said Ozone features when you master. I hear talk about a lot of engineers using clipping to their advantage by putting hardware that can make the cruddy dirt (in a modrated amount) sound perfectly professional.

[@HrDavs]

Really like your tutorials, they're really helpful, so good job! A thing i would like to see, is how you layer your melodies. Anyway, keep up the good work!

[@lilaclunablossom]

I don't like how I can't see his cursor.

[@groundflowers]

Thankyou so much for making this! sometimes it's nice to just see how someone else would go about this system... I'd love to see a walkthrough of one of your more complextro tracks next time, perhaps experimental tracks like Troublemaker! :)

[@TheOfficialSK3X]

The first pluck used is part of the Complextro and Dubstep Vol 3 pack by Freaky Loops, a sample pack that I believe was partly designed by virtual riot himself, at least thats what I think seeing as he created the song for Complextro and Dubstep 2

[@tomips3th]

Jaaaa endlich ein deutscher dubstep Produzent 👾

[@yamsm5823]

Mr.Riot :D thanks for this video! its very cool and fun to lern how you make your art and using the right sounds for it... keep making awesome music ! :D

[@joeeoh]

Oh my god release youknowme it's like my favorite EDM track ever at the moment. Keep up these videos super informative and interesting!

[@jacobh1251]

That’s bring me the horizon 👀 my mind is blown, I am happy

[@Heksix]

[@Brownbeardaboss]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND DONT FORGET THAT SUB BASS

[@jordanbarrett2168]

Thank you so much for this! i requested a mastering tutorial a while ago and you delivered well! it will be so much help to me! and the ending was hilarious, well done haha :')

[@TheRiotLights]

For your next studio time, could you show us how you put your tracks together? Like after the drop, how you combine all your sounds and it sounds so clean!?

[@xtwilightprincex14]

Mostly, it's a lot of practice. Just keep trying and testing new things until you come out with something you like. Combine new things. If you're having trouble on anything you just need more practice. Don't let the genre or things people say you should go by stop you from creating.

[@toavnwub]

wow new virtual riot much compression very wub many massive such sidechain fr Val is such a cutie

[@jasonbay4551]

one of the greatest tutorials. vielen vielen dank virtual riot°

[@TheOfficialNaikee]

Mein gott, DANKE dass du diese tutorials machst!

[@greeds4467]

plz make more of these! and also, I kinda liked the intro for the second studio time with virtual riot episode

[@jgerona5]

I like to see Virtual Riot trying FL Studio since he used two IL plugins here... and a Harmor in another video

[@josh.kent_]

Awesome please more of this stuff Valentin!

[@blizzmaniak]

Studio time with Virtual Riot = Best tutorial EVER

[@RiddimRanger]

Yes i was waiting forever for this :)

[@subeg]

Happy New Year 2019 Mr. Riot

[@BEVE59]

Will the song in this be released or has it already been released?

[@charlessarkiss2190]

Do you master with izoptope and then send off to a studio for final mastering? Do you do your own mastering on songs you release professionally or outsource it to a sound engineer? Curious about because I'm struggling to figure out the right way to get my tracks sounding balanced and professional. Thanks! Can't wait to catch you next time you come to Oregon BTW.

[@vJDiZZ]

I really wish I could get my chords done as well as this one..Soon....Soon

[@StingerMusicOfficial]

I just watch some of your studio sessions and I want to thank you so much cause are so helpfull and clear!!!

[@TheMountainShark]

at 12:41 the "nexus 16" growl. how do you make that?

[@yepicxmusic]

Now I know where that knowledge was crafted!

[@starstunna1000]

Virtual Riot is a good guy. Thanx dude for the presets as well. Much appreciated

[@completelysaneperson2238]

You are my true hero looking forward to be like u fr ❤️

[@l4dbros1518]

I would like to know more about the Ozone Fundamentals and more in depth mastering tips!

[@Left2GameLTU]

Hey, Valentin! I wanted to as kyou what chords are you using in this tutorial? Could you upload a MIDI or something please?

[@randall1746]

Yup, i’m here in quarantine in 2020

[@ConstantThrowing]

Can you do a sidechain tutorial is would it be too "program specific" like tied to say "cubase" or "fl studio"? Thanks man

[@tofu.delivery.]

I'd like to see you make a whole song on ableton.

[@CM0SRS]

He does now, but you might now already

[@edgarbarrera6056]

7 years Before Simulation LP & Deluxe ❤🤭

[@VyletPony]

I can't wait for that outro song to be released owo

[@EMR_MX]

+Virtual Riot Since youtube is now normalizing all the audio to -13 LUFS (just recently) Do you bear that in mind when mixing & mastering? Greetings, love your music and studio time!

[@25lima_1]

love you virtual riot

[@maximoshouse]

This absolutely amazing! I'm glad to hear your story about music school as well!

[@maximoshouse]

yes very Cool!

[@j0hnlem0n]

Does anyone know what the other two nexus layers he used for the pluck are?

[@AricoAudio]

Wait is this the first studio time in ableton? I'm witnessing history take place lmao

[@LorenXWorld]

Thanks for the video(expecially mastering)...do you use only iZotope or some other plugin for the mastering? P.S. sorry for this question, but which program do you use for recording desktop?? thanks :D

[@smsofficialmusicpage616]

It's just makes me really happy you're not just sticking with everything massive, or sticking with company/DAW specific products... The fact you're using IL Vocodex & sytrus in ableton makes me chuckle, & rather happy you're not grounding yourself to a name brand.

[@Megathumbs99]

Please release the song with the melodic chords soon, it sounds AMAZING

[@NBalphaLP]

The song at 1:02 i need this But u dont know the name of it

[@floki_kaki]

The yeah at 4:12 is a good growl

[@ezelarslan4433]

Niceee. If it's possible can you like make a tutorial for the songs in your Sugar Rush EP (a bits of it at least). All of your tutorial have been very helpful for me and others for sure. Thankss man 👍

[@skylarfox_bmb]

Is the song at 1:11 released? And what's it called?

[@Trickey2413]

Whats the song? :)

[@zeotex2851]

[@antotren3319]

who honestly cares xD ik you where just pointing it out, but get a group of 5 producers in a room, all if not 4 of them use cracked software

[@davetheyoutuber7489]

Hahaha ich hab mir schon gedacht dass du Sytrus benutzt.... Best Plugin ever!und Vocodex darf natürlich auch nicht fehlen ;)

[@ALYXDyLan]

so you mix with a mastering chain?

[@pole2889]

"BMTH - Can you feel my heart (acapella)"

[@RichieAprileMusic]

I so happy ! please , don’t stoped make this video tutorial 🙏🏽

[@nickengelhardt7431]

Do you side chain your build ups to your drops? For instance, when you start rolling the 16th-32nd note kick drum or snare rhythms followed by white noise, risers, preview basses, etc; are you side chaining all of that because I really don't hear it in some of your tracks. Perhaps you could go over your side chaining in depth especially when it comes to your sub kick processing. It really gives your tracks that clean clarity without the mud. Your side chaining is already so clean and quick, normally that would cause harsh transient pops or something but you've managed to get around it completely. I'm using ableton and the ableton compressor has been my side chaining option. If you have any feedback it would be strongly appreciated.

[@JamesParkin27]

what is the song at 5:10 I MUST KNOW!!!! :(

[@NBalphaLP]

I need the sond at 12:37!!! This song is sooooooooooo sick!!!!!

[@LodiLorenzo]

What about the track in the outro? Any info?

[@DCsPr0ductions]

Virtual Riot - You know me, its unreleased :3

[@LodiLorenzo]

No it's not! of course I know Sugar Rush

[@DCsPr0ductions]

Lorenzo Lodi sorry my mistake i corrected myself though!! its 'You know me'

[@LodiLorenzo]

Oh. Is it out?

[@DCsPr0ductions]

no he posted it on his facebook on soundcloud as private..it could be out soon though..

[@andydub9016]

How do you make that bass right after those melodic sounds I'm taliking about the bassline at 1 20 i had another question would you happen to know how evilwave makes that vowel bass in his new remix tryple webshit song alot of people use it diamond oceans uses it skrillex uses it ect ect thanks I like it tutorials as well keep em coming please i can't afford to go to school for audio production

[@Trickey2413]

They dont learn jackshit about bass music at his school. Its all about knowledge and experience. Better start grinding, i'd recommend seamlessr.

[@Slight0fHand]

@virtual riot: on the master channel do you only have ozone on it and nothing else?

[@HardBabyDB]

Just amazing bro, so inspirational

[@txte8482]

What do you need if you want to study at your university ? ( like, do you need to be experienced with two instruments or something like that ?)

[@ConradAbbottMusic]

Hey that was really helpful.. the reverb cutting out as the chords hit, how you sound designed that growl with ableton effects, and your explanation of ozone was really good. I have a question.. when you sound design the growl, do you already have an idea of what effects you're going to use and the order, etc? or do you take it one step at a time? orrr maybe something in between? Thanks

[@cRaZyLiFe]

Can you teach us how you made the bass sound at the intro of this video.

[@morandym7627]

So what I don't understand, is I load up Massive and it looks like his.. but when I move the pitch (except for the sound pitching up and down --- not getting more detuned), I hear zero change compared to his patch.

[@dcliff1234]

Can you give some insight how you make the videos to go with your songs?

[@xDarkAngelxc]

Damn why can't I like this video more than once :D

[@ryanblaney3937]

Can u get the angry saws patch in serum or omnisphere?

[@maxperson2714]

Hey vr, you have to do a video just about your wobbles/growls. Besides those your melodies are amazing but i want to put some cool bass into a track. Thanks

[@nerdexproject]

Sehr geil! Vielleicht kannst du ja irgendwann wieder mal etwas von deinem Konservatorium zeigen! :) Wie ihr dort übt, aufnehmt und inwiefern du es zu deinem (privaten) Vorteil nutzt! :)

[@xDuffyPlays]

1:49 TEAM ASSIGN LMAO
