The BEST rnb synth sounds and where to find them

[@stefanguy]

Part 2 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKjKp6J4o66obLc

[@jasonlewis2443]

Hey. Great vid as usual. If u only could have one synth bass which 1 would u pick?

[@KidGhost23]

these progressions you pick while you preview the sounds are fire

[@stefanguy]

Yoo thanks man!

[@geebee44]

like threw gas and a match on em

[@D-One]

It's so refreshing to have aa channel focused on R&B. 👍 All those basses are also very suitabkle for G-Funk / Dre / West Coast style beats.

[@stefanguy]

Just doing my part to keep R&B alive bro! And yeah you’re so right re the bass sounds!

[@803MUSICGROUP]

I agree!!!

[@VthatGuy1]

So True😎

[@Visteaa]

This is gold.... i've always struggled with finding good sounds whenever i'm trying to produce new songs. This just makes it easier. Thank youu

[@stefanguy]

🙌🏾 amazing, glad you found it useful!

[@rootbeermcgee]

You're always dropping gems and I always look forward to your videos, thank you for real. Since finding your channel i've levelled up so much a s a producer

Couldn't have asked for a better tutorial than this bro, Thanks again for being the GOATED RNB GURU!!!!👑👑

[@stefanguy]

Hey brother, thank you so much man. Glad you liked the tutorial 😃

[@sbishi8918]

The most difficult part for me is adapt this old school sounds to the actual R&B artists. A video talking about this would be amazing. Nice video 👌

[@stefanguy]

Another great video idea. What you'll find though, is that the drums do a lot. The modern day patterns but also the timbre, the sound and sonics of those drums. The vocals as well.

[@kevinjones2878]

This type of content, for me is golden, I have purchased way too many vsts in the past and still don't know which sounds to pick for the ideas in my head. There are just so many... I already had all of the ones you mentioned but never came across any of the presets before (paralysis by analysis I guess). I just played around with these today and they are all AMAZING. Just the sounds I've been trying to find. These types of videos along with your chord progression ones have been wonderful for me in my journey of actually making beats instead of fighting trying to find the right sounds and progressions to match what I hear in my head. Keep them coming!

[@stefanguy]

Hey Kevin, man this is awesome to hear bro! I totally get that paralysis by analysis but glad this video helped highlight some sounds for you, that you already have! Thanks for the words of encouragement, new vids dropping soon!

[@andyhayes3906]

The 12 semitones section was hilarious! Really enjoyed this, adding a couple of the sounds to the library asap

[@stefanguy]

Thank you bro!! What ones are you looking to add?

[@andyhayes3906]

@@stefanguy smooth glide for sure is one I’m going to play with. Thankfully I got 25 during the anniversary, also going to experiment with Daveland a bit more. Typically I’ll use Kontour for basses and tweak them to give me a Jahaan Sweet sound but will for sure try out Daveland as it’s a sound I’ve been looking for for awhile now. Super 8 i don’t experiment with enough it seems

[@stefanguy]

Dope… yeah man a lot of people seemed to have missed out on 25. I may need to campaign for them to bring it back haha. Yeah Super 8 is nice man. It’s one that kind of went under the radar because it was a Reaktor synth at first then became its own standalone synth. Definitely a joy to use. I haven’t used Kontour in so long but I would use that a lot too. I may need to fire it up again!

[@TripleMTmoney]

We need more RnB presets like this 🔥🔥🔥 I would love videos on the different drum bounces like party to bouncy to slow classic 90s rnb mixed more modern

[@stefanguy]

Such a dope idea! Thank you!

[@stefanguy]

Hey Col! Glad you found the video useful man. It can be overwhelming with the amount of sounds that come with Komplete 13! Do you use Komplete 13 with Komplete Kontrol?

[@stefanguy]

Yoo appreciate it brother!!

[@russelledwards2405]

as usual your video is amazing and useful. One small suggestion for the "free" suggestions is maybe explore synths everyone can use for free. if one is not a Logic user all of these choices become paid. I have Logic in a studio i work in, but everyone doesn't. I am sure any of these sounds could be made in stock synths from other DAWSs but that kinda defeats scope of this video. In any case, this is still a great video and i thank you.

[@rnbsteenstar]

Don't forget different drum patterns from old to new to New Jack swing and everything in between.

[@von_Apa]

Stefan! Wow! What a wonderful video! So many beautiful sounds. I will put this into my list of favourites videos. Maybe Zebra2 will be my next purchase! Also nice to see that you use original sounds from Logic. I wonder if you have anything you like from Keyscape?

[@stefanguy]

Glad it made the cut!! And yeah zebra 2 is fire, I don’t hear many people talking about it though. Also I don’t own Keyscape you know. Haven’t had the chance to use it yet.

[@sleonse]

Where's the 80s FM Piano from Logic? Can't find it and it's my FAV!! thank you! Please more details on that one!

[@stefanguy]

Hey Sergio… Jump into the library “Y” then head to Synthesizer > Classics > 80s FM Piano. If it’s not there then it may be that it’s an extra download available in Logic’s additional sound library. Logic Pro > Sound Library if you don’t already know! Hope this helps!

Great channel! You really should try Arturia PIGMENTS 3 - Objectively The Best Synth of All Time period! Just 200 USD +Free Updates - It is incredibly underrated. In my opinion; that has to do with the fact that Arturia neglect Marketing for the PRESET BANK system, which anyone can make and the banks are created as a single installation file. Which is perfect. They're is already plenty of Pigments Preset Banks available both from Arturia and Others. This has the potential to eliminate the whole NI Komplete ecosystem; with the exception of the Discovery Series.
