Very cool that you post a 1click dl links for the sheet´s without any consideration. I think this channel will grow very quickly. Maybe we´ll see you on twitch?

I saw that Fuse shirt in your techno rumble vid and i knew i had another belgian on hands xD i lived in brussels for 8 years but recently moved to ghent , really miss the grit :( ... Love the channel ! If u ever need personal cello samples or collab im your man ;)

[@OscarUnderdog]

Goddamn that's some big praise. Thank you :o

[@IntellliGiant]

I tried to recreate 1990s hardtrance reverb-sub-kick, and got stuck on a 'basic" level, lol. I didn't even know that this thing is called "techno-rumble" Until the Skies have sent me this video )) Now I'm on "intermediate" level, which for the sound of 1990s means "like a boss" )) Thanks a lot, very useful!

I am in paradise with your diagrams. They show what all guys don't show. The other youtubers make weard video and we never see properly what they do. And never catch it. And FINALLY you mate!!!! You did it and teach real. you have a really more solid approach. Gonna check your 1on1 coaching. cheers!

Finally! A very talented person showing us amateurs how to create the perfect (and that final version IS perfect) rumble for techno bods. Like him, I've watched pretty much every single YT video on this subject and this is far and away the only one I needed. Seriously great work my friend, I am incredibly thankful. this whole video is like watching a Michelin starred chef explain how to create layers of flavour. Love it.

I have no idea about the craft of making music, nor had I had any interest in it. I like techno. I have heard someone complain about how a club's new sound system sounds for tracks that have "Kick-Rumbles". I googled. I came here. And I could watch for hours - the presentation is so informative and clear-cut!

Thanks for sharing all your hard work. I really do appreciate it. I woke up two years ago paralysed from the chest down and i have been in hospital for those two years. Watching your posts has been fantastic for my head. I have to wait now to get back into the studio once its been adapted for me. Thank you once again and i hope 2022 brings you good fortune.

As a primary school teacher, I have to say that the pedagogy here is absolutely outstanding. Have learnt loads in 2 night from 2 videos. Thank you so much, Oscar. You are a superb teacher.

[@OscarUnderdog]

Much appreciated ☺️🙏🏻

[@claudiakane5951]

I just wanted to say, thank you so much for your videos. They are clear, straight to the point and carry tons of useful information. It's hard to find production tutorials for intermediate and advanced producers who want to learn new skills and refresh their knowledge. Keep them coming!

[@OscarUnderdog]

❤️

[@stefanengel4714]

I watched this video of yours already maybe 5 - 6 times, because it inspires a lot. What I changed over the course of time is I replaced the ducker with an automation of the rumble´s volume. This feels like even more control to both the rumlbe and the kick and also gives me the chance to insert "errors" once in awhile, so it takes longer for the two to start sounding dull.

[@ThisPageIntentionallyLeftBlank]

Legit, my new favorite KZbin channel for techno related content.

[@OscarUnderdog]

Yeehaw!

[@Kupka2408]

I never learned so much about sound design for techno. I am using Ableton Live for mixing and sound processing in live performances and this tuorial just improved my sound by a million times. Thank you! So crazy how a good sounding rumble can instantly improve the overall mix and sound of a track.

[@synthswithpedals8917]

[@SubLowSounds]

this is such an overlooked sound and an overwhelming sound, the amount of depth homie just created with these kicks, claps, and toms just sent me to a 4th heaven. 🤯😵‍💫🫨

[@mangaas]

As someone who used to work on electronic music way back in 2000 as a highschool student, with zero music theory, or background in music - its amazing seeing how you're supposed to actually engineer these sounds. I used to kinda "fake" what I heard and tried to recreate it in Reason and such. Usually layering multiple drum kicks, and delay and reverb.

I'm just trying to do this in Reason. I think I'm somewhere there where you already have been :D

Dear Oscar, I mean Ph.D. Oscar, Your channel is be far one of the best classes for understanding the deeper parts of techno music, this for the theory part as well as practica by sharing your knowledge on how to convert into a DAW. I learned a lot the last past days and it really helped me to put all the loose samples en vunzige deuntjes into a smooth, coherent set. Ik ben u ontzettend dankbaar om uw kennis met ons te delen.

Love how you explain everything you do verbally aswell rather than just showing it visually like most, actually makes it quite possible to follow along sometimes just through audio, listening to your explanations of what you're doing and why and then hearing the sounds to hear the difference, which is great!

Man, seriously one of the best breakdowns on how to improve your kicks that I have ever seen! Thank you sir!

[@countorringtonludlow5211]

Now I am really curious how techniques like this translate to music outside of Techno. Textures created from obliterating a duplicate channel that maybe isn't using a kick as source material or not using a 4x4 beat. Makes me really want to learn more about how the music is made from artists like Roly Porter and Emptyset.

[@thisislag]

I don't want to be a negative nancy here because this is a great tutorial, I just wanted to comment on the "groove" advice. The very definition of groove is having an anchor and then having elements which are "running away" from the anchor, ie playing off the grid. If you make sure that everything pulsates together with the kick you will end up having no groove. For example: if you are sidechaining for techincal reasons (as you would with the sub part of the rumble) then having it pulsate with the kick is a great idea as it creates space in the crowded low-frequency part. If you are sidechaining to achieve some groovy pumping in the mids or highs - try sidechaining the signal with a ghost percussion (kick or whatever) which is 5-30 miliseconds late or early compared to the original kick. This offset is what (amongst other things) creates groove. It gives the mind and the body more than one dimension-grid of the rhythm to latch-on to and creates interesting tension between elements. Anyway, thank you for doing these Oscar! Great job and keep them coming!

[@OscarUnderdog]

Hey Nancy 😋 I appreciate your comment, you're totally right. It's sometimes a bit hard to define groove in 1 way, because as you say there is the "anchor groove" and then syncopated grooves running against it creating tension and interest. I guess it's not an indepth enough treatment of that idea for sure - I just want people to start thinking of the rumble as something that has a coherent groove against which other elements can be juxtaposed.

[@machi089]

Amazing stuff, Thank you for a very Informative Tutorial. Please do a Tutorial on Techno Pads, Thanks.

[@andycordy5190]

I'm not going to pretend I can do this because I just can't sit there for hours with a groove pounding in my cans but I am massively impressed by the clarity of the result. It comes into focus even better at the end, when you demo the alternative versions. I also love the strange arrhythmia created by allowing the secondary elements to wander. We might think this would be catastrophic but the ear clings onto the security of the original kick so it actually stabilises the experience. That's quite spooky.

[@ixxirecords26]

Blessed to have come across this. Been trying to create fusion trap/edm and it's been really challenging. A lot of hybrid genre, experimental stuff is sonically, not quite there yet- and work like yours is gonna help us super young artists, try some crazy new stuff and push the barriers of music. Thanks for this, definitely subbed.

[@danpreston564]

How are you trying to apply it to a hardware set up? Routing individual outs?

[@epigon1]

Resampling ?

[@wellurban]

I’ve been trying something similar with all hardware (in fact, almost all analogue): the trick is that the reverb tail from percussion is pretty much just filtered noise, especially if you’ve sidechained out all of the early reflections. So, some white noise through a band pass filter can give you a pretty good rumble without even needing reverb, and you can shape it in all sorts of creative ways.

[@felipebarreto3293]

For parallel processing: I like to use Ableton's Audio Effect Rack, duplicate the layer. Keep one layer for the dry sound, one layer for wet only sounds. Achieves the same effect as having your "Kick" and "Rumble" one on single track (if that fits your workflow).
