Style Study: Merkaba Part 1 - Kick, Bass, Rhythm and Effects

[@MagraoDaXTZ]

Finally a Merkaba style study! Fantastic! Cheers from Brazil.

[@MrChamesy]

You by far seem to be the only one on youtube that covers this much ground within psytrance. Major respect for that man!

[@ellisgribble5729]

Any chance of one day getting a specific Grouch style study? I’m a bit obsessed about his style :) massive thanks for all these tuts though! I don’t make trance but the techniques you show are mega transferable. Big ups!!

[@okinawajapan1]

YESSSSSSS Please!!!!!!!!!!! ME TOO!!!! Came here just to ask the same thing.

[@СергейИванов-ю2ю]

Dash, more Mekaba style, we need part 2, part 3, And more And more And more

[@JaguarTree.MerkabaMusic]

hahaha finally some merkaba tutorial ! not my style, but is good to see this here

[@JaguarTree.MerkabaMusic]

@Artevius Music hola hermano! sending you best energies from CR!

[@ik-hea105]

Thanks you veryvery much i'm struggling to create charismatic bass but you help me a lot thanks !!

[@okinawajapan1]

Asking for Grouch next please. :) Hedflux after him. :) Thank you!

[@max.racing]

Dude i needed this in my life!

[@Gagarinprojectofficial]

Good choice !:)

[@beekan8787]

Wow, sounds amazingly close.

[@HalfGodHalfBeast]

these style studies are cool. I'm going to be cheeky here and put in a request. How about doing an eat static style study. Thinking of the early stuff: lost in time, gulf breeze, or implant.

[@viveiro.biomadapaisagem.]

Poxa, sou fã a uns 10 anos!! sempre tive uma alta conexão com essa linha de som. Satisfação em acompanhar os ensinamentos

[@max.racing]

Well done! Thx!

[@papadaya3540]

Youre ability to reverse engineerr sounds is so f*cking increadibly Dash!!

[@Intergalacticjack]

AGREED!

[@gameboyz7497]

really nice remind me merkaba and Shpongle

[@Oberjin]

What a coincidence, just made a merkaba themed playlist on spotify a couple of days ago and started following him on IG yesterday. You always seem to know ;)

[@nathanbryers]

Mean! Merkaba is the longstanding favourite of mine 👍🏼👍🏼 thanks

[@jackw4346]

i was in the middle of making another tune in a completely different genre but ive had to stop to watch this now haha

[@7177YT]

Same!

[@averyrunner3423]

Appreciate the insight to how the bass notes and percussion sounds interact in this style.

[@srivatsanb4839]

You are absolute legend for doing this Dash... Respect!

[@gfactory1]

I hope you keep doing this series! With Merkaba and other interesting artists

[@HeyConrado]

Ur a genius! Thx!

[@technosignature]

I genuinely appreciate your videos, the amount of information you pass on is incredible. Thank you!

[@analogrealms]

Best channel for learning psytrance ❤️

[@PsylocibeChillZen]

and there we have it! You are amazing Dash!

[@PhilippBaumann]

Great analysis!!!! Please make a video about the style of NEUROQ. I would be particularly interested in the track "External Intention". I've already tried to recreate the Psychill Kick/Baseline, but can't do it.

[@m3zza9]

Been binging your channel mate. Some real good stuff here man

[@rrrobart9]

Oh yes! I love what you’re doing! So glad I found your channel! This is exactly what I’m looking for. 🙏.

[@travesdymusic]

It’s like early Christmas!!!

[@Jhon-bx7yw]

God bless you bro! Thank you very much 🙏

[@Intergalacticjack]

Been waiting for someone to cover this guys work for a long time, thank you so much dude. You're awesome in many ways!!

[@mihvumusic]

as always love for you Dash!

[@tq193]

First of all thanks for great video! Could you please explain how you made those FM stabs that go along with the bass?

[@martinsgarden1304]

Awesome ... so well analysed! 😊

[@dmnC.]

Awesome job 👏🏻👏🏻 can't wait to see the next part!!! 💚

[@ClarionixBathTimeMeditation]

I enjoyed this video quite a bit. Great information and nice picking Merkaba as the focus. Cheers...

[@proplayer39]

Holy moly Dash, thanks for this!!!

[@ilmush]

Yeah bro it's interesting 🔥

[@NovemberVIHR]

Very interesting, thanks!

[@kneeelbowtoes]

Sounds awesome😎

[@jackw4346]

yes dude!! good choice of artist, merkaba is awesome :)

[@tru7hhimself]

that bass pattern immediately reminded me of the zol track.

[@HalfGodHalfBeast]

Loved this one. Good job well done. Excellent. Love this depaeture from the norm sort of stuff. I think a big problem in psy these days is that it has all got a bit samey, but this prooves it hasn't and there are still more sounds and styles to explore. Cool man. Love to see more of this sort of thing. Also I know you like the arturia stuff, have you checked out the synthi-v. I'd love to see/hear what sounds you could get out of that beast of a vst. Cheers.

[@agreen9903]

Awesome as always, I've added a comment on the community page on your patreon dash

[@DashGlitch]

Gotcha, patreon interface is a bit difficult even from my side, apologies!

[@MrXav360]

I kept thinking about the video you made on '' Zol '' when hearing this bass x)

[@mooksdivingadventures7373]

Hey, nice one! I like something like this more than the usual full on making offs. I would like to see more progressive stuff in the style of "Morten Granau" " Ghost Rider" or older "Fabio and Moon" for example. Would that be possible?

[@JoaoVictor-vd9rn]

first I would like thanks so very much , next I would like to know how you synthesized the mid bass that has call response 13:53 , i didn't see you make this.

[@BXB_ERICK]

please make video of Parvati Records Style Onkel Dunkel

[@Antiumx]

I would love if you could decode a ovnimoon or antispin track! Ovnimoon has that high intensity but atmospheric vibe, and antispin is just on another level 😂 Anyways love the tutorials bro!

[@vacuumhack]

Great job, can you pls cover also their world instruments FX approach and wet squelches?

[@nanahuatzin_music7210]

Hey Dash, can you give a quick overview on the reverb on the SFX and Percussion channel, please?

[@kevingouveia1773]

thaks brooo

[@TalDITO]

Hey Dash have you ever heard about New Born? he's a really good Goa artist from Israel, we have absolute no idea how he makes he's amazing and unique music, if you can check him out and maybr explain a little it would be awesome. Thank you so much for everything ❤️

[@beezyflippins]

Awesome! thanks! Any chance of a style study on his Kalya project?

[@DashGlitch]

I might be wrong but that’s his DJ project

[@beezyflippins]

@@DashGlitch Nope Kalya Scintilla is a full fledged project of his with all original productions. While Merkaba is psytrance, Kalya is basically his slower, broken beat stuff.

[@UPHOR1CMUS1C]

Quick question :) Where do you get your drum samples from? AKA the ones layered over the bass. Thanks :)

[@sekorsky9671]

Hello! And the question about the groups, do you hang up a reverb from Arturia for a group with a drum section?

[@aztechno8237]

9:01

[@alexanderdalton425]

How do you get to a point where you can reverse engineer these sorts of sounds? I’d love to be able to master sound design

[@keithlane4705]

Where's the old shoe and suicidal crab ?

[@DonDonPsy]

I think I'll call it Howard's note.

[@psyflex008]

loopcloud demo can record those birds sounds when the loop isnt free anywayloop cloud is shit even without the birds

[@KAp10AhAb13]

virus ti kick

[@psyflex008]

merkaba never was my cup of tea

[@narutokicksyabutt]

THANKS DASH! YOU ARE AWESOME! love from India!
