troyboi like lead in sound design?

[@khwaishtongia1687]

There is this indie artist you might not know him he goes by the alias Skrillex he dropped a track called supersonic last year. It's lead and FM-bass both are top tier

[@jakemontgomery9982]

@@khwaishtongia1687 check out xlnt sound, they made a serum tutorial on those synths

[@jimjamdragonlash]

The lead and bass included in Justin Bieber's track 'Love You Different'. I can't figure out what those sounds are, but it seems to be a lead pluck synth with a bass with a moving cutoff filter.

[@ZeicoMusic]

the melody from the Chainsmokers x Bebe Rehxa - Call You Mine chorus!

[@LelandDantzler]

Hey, just wanted to call out that seeing the specific midi/chords/keys at 1:03 was very, very helpful. Hearing the sounds in the context of a chord progression feels totally different than plinking away at a single note on my own, so thank you for this!

[@JigarRajpopatOfficial]

Love your work! Love Kaytranada! Keep going!

[@StyloLive]

Love this. I am inspired to learn serum, seems like the perfect soft synth to get that LoFi + funky sounds I’ve been looking for.

[@laxbold]

Amazing! I like the fx section and is very simple also. Thank you man!

[@djjimbo7432]

Love the technical breakdown on WHY each element of the sound is important...helps me not just learn these sounds but sound design as a whole

[@danielgoldstein150]

Another great tutorial! I always learn so much with each video I watch from you

[@redfarrowmusic]

I am always so impressed by your videos. You do such a clean and simple, yet thorough job at explaining all of the features of the sound. For someone like myself who has a hard time with sound design, I really loved the characteristic points of the sound at the beginning of the video that help me apply these characteristics to other sounds! Amazing work

[@martygallen]

Another class tutorial. Love that sound.

[@MinecraftGod1011]

This just helps me with making sounds too, thanks man!

[@GlobusTheGreat]

This is insane, so helpful!

[@FasFas160]

Love this❤

[@romanprus5897]

Thank you very much Tom! More Kaytraaa please!

[@glor8359]

Thank you again

[@simpaulistic9795]

you do a great job of explaining Serum sound design. I know after I've watched a tut, I have new techniques in mind for how to make the sounds I want, but with an understanding of WHY I'm doing these things. Lots of tutorials go over how to make a sound very quickly without ever explaining the WHY part of it. So there's no learning the synth there, which is what I want.

[@grankjj7862]

You´re such an underrated youtuber. Big ups!

[@ThatMartinezGuy]

Dope!

[@AnotherKid]

haha finally, thank youuuu 🖤

[@heyooooh]

So nice

[@cy.tone2644]

THIS IS CRAZY

[@Flux_One]

Ooooooooo sounds niiiiiiiice!!

[@iknobojack]

you don’t miss

[@martygallen]

Not sure if you've ever done it but could you do a tutorial on luttrell sounds. Maybe even the lead from windowscene? Great work as always.

[@thomas_rellum]

😍♥️

[@jimloogmusic9964]

Do more of his softer synths

[@gonzo2049]

where have you been my whole life

[@alex.zaslavskyi]

The best, as always!) Hey, Tom, could you show how to make lead like in track Matthias Vogt - Nostalgia (Extended mix), start at 02:36?) Sounds simple, but I can't figure out what happens there))

[@cfor1950]

we need a fred..again-style vocal/moving jumpy synth

[@SynthHackerTV]

On it

[@Exit_Sign]

Hi, kind of an unusual question, but for someone who's not super music theory savvy, how do you come up with these chord progressions? They really manage to serve the sounds you make SUPER well. Do you have any pointers or resources I could look at? If so I'd super appreciate it.

[@SynthHackerTV]

Sure thing it’s been a slow process for me but one site id recommend is HookTheory. They have the chords to thousands of songs on there in different genres which can be super helpful to see what different types of artists gravitate to. I’d also recommend trying to recreate chord progressions from songs you like, this is something I’ve had to do a lot over the years for videos. I’d also recommend Scaler 2, it’s been super helpful to get instant feedback to see what chords I naturally write. Also learning about chord voicing was a game changer for me, how you can rearrange and duplicate notes to make chords in a progression more cohesive. Bit of a ramble but definitely check out HookTheory!

[@Exit_Sign]

@@SynthHackerTV oh man thank you so much!!!!!!!

[@nigolm]

sort of a random question but did you generate those chords through scaler or play them separately and detect through scaler? struggling to get similar voicing through the chords already in scaler.

[@SynthHackerTV]

I wrote them in Scaler but by manually entering each note to build each chord from scratch using the 'edit chord' option and wrote them by ear. I'm not sure how scaler would voice the chords by default.

[@DominikDale]

You’re too generous

[@drseatbelt]

the chorus trick tho...
