I have been trying to figure this out for years. it's literally the sound that made me want to make music. hearing the Loop tighten up and then loosen into the melody makes my ears beyond happy

[@viapobeats]

Check out a psytrance producer named LOUD his music is full ot thosd tricks!

[@cjfromgtasanadreas]

Same here! I remember seeing the music video on tv and seeing them use the teenage engineering op 1 midi keyboard (knew nothing about this back then), but that's my first memory of REAL interest in edm, i really fell in love and slowly started music production myself!

I didn’t think someone could explain what i felt .. started making music at 15 on maschine teaching myself.. and this sound and jack u dj snake ma me start … since stopping last few years this sound and brining it back has been on my mind .. thank you sir

[@jayjaybirdsnest]

Love this effect. Psytrance producers have been doing this loop effect to their entire mix to speed it up into an insane build for years. Cool to see a more simple tutorial for it :)

[@mindmachinepsy]

Yea i was gonna say that. Been doing it with cronox many many moons ago, when cubase didn't have a sampler to make it easy xD

[@AutPen38]

This effect is very cool, but the lead sound and melody in your own track sounds superb. The contrast from the stuttered effect to the more open and brassy riff works really well.

[@fuzzy6576]

Dude that demo is sickest thing I’ve ever heard! I love that synth and note choice before the drop🔥🔥

[@theEDMdragon]

Please please release that demo as a complete track, that drop made me so happy Also I haven't been this thrilled to watch a producing tutorial for a while, great video!

Just take the Vengeance Electro Essentials 3 Kick (VEE3 Kick 01.wav)

[@meekstrosityproductions6880]

I've learned more from your channel than I have any other channel or money I've spent on tutorials. Thank you.

[@marleycarroll]

I love your twist on the effect, super inspiring. Thanks for sharing!

[@AryaMewadaMusic]

sick!

[@foxiewhisper]

I’m really enjoying these style of videos from Big Z. Super dense chunks of knowledge presented with a bow. One of the few channels I might actually turn notifications on for 👍

[@Powhart]

So simple yet so effective! I was looking for a good EDM channel with tutorials cause I need to get back to produce this kind of music

[@memediatek]

The harmonics you get when its sped up is a technique used by brostep producers in 2012 to make cool tones without needing an expensive vst like massive. You can then use filters like normal to make pretty awesome bass synths

[@itsliamcox]

Absolute legend I’ve been searching everywhere for something like this in logic!!

[@danielderricomusic]

Yo Big Z! Love this man, great stuff as always! Was wondering if you could make a video or two diving deeper into how to utilize the tools and modules inside of Logics Quick Sampler?

[@Tamang4CA]

That track you showed as an example is so good. I could see it popping off

[@LosantoBeats]

Man! you are a great producer/composer! All your tracks sound beautifully balanced in every sense.

[@CoreMeister99]

Earliest song I heard this effect in was an Aphex Twin song called bucephalus bouncing ball and always wondered how he did it, after watching this I can confirm I still have no idea how he made that song but I’m defo gonna be using this 🙌🏻

[@odw32]

Aphex Twin experimented a lot with his own (as in invented/soldered) kits combined with analogue samples, kind of like a messy homebrew precursor to modern patched synthesizing. He also used algorithmic digital software, like SuperCollider. I think the fact that he often descends more into viewing musical patterns as algorithms instead of a "piano roll" is what makes it quite a bit harder to replicate his style in a DAW, because you kind of need more programming functionality than most DAW automations allow.

[@besseymusic]

still struggling to do this on fl studio tho

[@ryanbent9368]

Man, I was trying to do this but got stuck on how to automate the looping function. This was great!! Thanks, dude

[@wale.a]

For years I looked for how to do this when the song came out. This might end up being one of your top videos.

[@kevinalexis5858]

You are so amazing! thx a lot for this video ! was searching for this so long !

[@amulpatel]

nice transition tip! Hope to see more of these buildups etc.

[@ayMillmusic]

Loving that synth just before the drop🔥

[@ceasarsalad2055]

Holy shit bro. I basically made peace with myself on the fact that I wouldn't see any video about this. Thank you!!!

[@djofftheshit]

Just snagged your slap house kit. Sounds great!

[@LiQWYD]

Wow, this is impressing man! Always wondered about how they did that. 🙂

[@DJ-Coma]

TIL! Loving these extremely detailed tutorials

[@leonhard3944]

The me of yesterday would have tried making that kick loop shorter and shorter and then been like "Whelp, guess Swedish House Mafia just defied the laws of physics and audio" and given up X3 Thanks for showing us the trick with the re-pitching!

[@danielgoldstein150]

Great video! I'm curious why you choose Original over Optimized in the sampler? Is there an advantage to that?

[@djerikfox]

OMG...OMG....I WAS LOOKING FOR A WAY TO DO THAT IN LOGIC FOR SO MANY TIME...THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!!!!! THIS IS A PIONEER CDJ LOOP CUT EFFECT ITS AMAZING.....

[@MrSTAYUP33]

honestly i forgot how good this channel is because the algo hadnt beent showing me you're channel. went thru 3-4 and quality content for logic pro x.

[@joaoR9988]

I been trying to make that effect on logic. On live the sampler is more upfront with it, just turn the freq knob. The sampler in logic is a bit more confusing but its my main daw. You gave me an idea tho, helps a lot. Thanks

[@sha3439]

Your sounds have elevated man

[@lucasgraeff5391]

nice tutorial man and great synth sound! i thought of 5 hours

[@gustavokoshikumo]

this was so nice, your track is smooth!

[@jasonreviews]

i like the swedish house mafia version. They're geniuses. They make something so simple but so catchy. No need for complicated.

[@BorisG13]

eey, the MKBHD shirt 😂 Thank you for the great video!

[@MrMikomi]

"It's only magic when you don't know how it's done" 🙂 Always wondered about this - never heard that SHM track but I heard something similar years ago and always wondered how it was done. Great stuff. Thanks.

Btw that track sounds like it's going to be big. GL.

[@isaakwelch3451]

I think that was the 90s more so than this

[@DeanKennyMusic]

Agreed. When Falling came out ❤

[@tr7zw]

Well, the example was so well made, yt auto claimed the video. Good job.

[@joeyf808]

Big Z killin it!

[@rs-met7170]

I guess, the quantization of the pitches at around 5:45 is due to the limited resolution (of 128 values) of of the mod-wheel midi-controller? Or is it because the loop-end is rounded to the closest integer in the sample-playback engine? ...but I think, the latter would lead to a much finer quantization of the pitches so it's probably the former.

[@yove2934]

[@nujaxx_]

Gotta have this track z. Those deep major chords are fire.

[@THeDrKEvO]

Very cool, great video That logic sampler is overpowered (in the good way)!

tbh theres no one on the internet that teach you easy tips and stuff better then big z. maybe Virtual riot but all the others just click bait you. You got my props

[@UniversalHappiness131]

Hey Big Z, great tutorial as always! Can you remake Gorgon Citys Roped in break since it uses very similar effect? Love your content 😁

[@musix09]

There was one video on KZbin about it. From Ralph van Hilst from the Bassjackers. Don't know if anyone else saw it? He seems to have taken a lot of his free content away and has it up on a paid subscription site now. Ralph is the man!

[@bastoscc]

Is there a full version of that demo? I really like it

[@Pizuh]

love this video!! but im working on FL Studio, can u guys suggest some alternative samplers that work like this?

[@HackSawSees]

This is useful to me, thanks.

[@lexlooper_0.1]

This is a dope effect, and a great tutorial of it - but is there a way you could do this without using MIDI CC like the mod wheel where it only has 128 values to set? I feel like the lack of resolution with the mod wheel values contributes to the choppiness at the end. Might be something you can accomplish better with another sampler too.

[@whoiszander]

Song is dope too, great work

[@youngkizzi9944]

Insane stuff!

[@davidpurple3698]

Thanks, great video

[@jn1346]

Accrediting this to SHM instead of Aphex Twin is insane and also Mr Bill has many videos on this. Good video tho :)

[@NikolajTornstrom]

That demo track Is f''king sick!!!!!

[@klaurcschwackerberg1880]

They don't allow us in Logic Pro to turn and tweak directly on the loop end button itself like in Ableton ! But Big Z tricked them with a workaround ! Well done !

[@davidsolena4853]

Awesome! Thanks a lot. Still wonder what's the appropriate sampler plugin to do that in FL studio.

[@Iskulaatikko]

I did a remake of One when it first came out and the way i did it in Ableton, i didn't have to pitchbend as the loop will get shorter smoothly in ableton as opposed to in Logic (Which is weird since that's what i think they made the track on). One problem i ran into however, was how to hit the note perfectly? I solved it by first just checking with a tuner that the loop in the sampler is in key when played statically, moving the loop point by 0.1 back and forth until i found the exact right sweet spot. I then made the automation "backwards" when i know what my target is. This way i could actually play the melody with the sampler itself without having to bounce audio (which is nice if you want to get back to the original kick samlple at some point). Very simple! we've had issues with logic looping effects for ages, not sure why it's so janky compared to Ableton.

[@eesaw_]

Wow, this is awesome! I never knew this was a thing!

[@liamvance966]

A little asymmetry between your future bass type track and the Swedish house mafia iteration is that the actual sample of the synth comes from the repetition effect itself

[@ryun3307]

Much thanks for sharing your wisdom

Looking at how other DAWs deal with automation makes me appreciate FL Studio even more.

[@ahmedyadam7240]

Almost all the samplers I have don't have any modulator to controll the start or end of the loop range inside the sampler 1. CR8 sampler 2. Sample One of studio one 3. Audio damage quanta granular synth, sampler 4. Tal sampler 5. Initial audio slice !!!!!!! I had to do it manually!
