9 mintutes... 9 minutes. To the point, insanely random humor that is funny enough to keep your eyes and ears glued but not distract you from the point of the video. Just striking the perfect balance. It's just great. They don't make 'em like you no more. You have my sub. You're absolutely killing it.

[@Tangermusic]

one thing you missed ab the snare section is that you can make the noise LFO have a bit of an attack so that the tonal part of the snare "sidechains" to the noise making it duck out of the way for the tone

For the metallic hihat sounds you can also experiment with a ring modulator

[@zoned7609]

Filtered FM harmonics, also good. Make it a bit atonal

The one thing you want is a KZbinr that shows you exactly how it's done, but also adds a lot of humor to the instructions 🤣🤣 I am now obligated to never look for drum instrustions ever again 🙏🙏🤣🤣

[@ewanbristow]

Multiband delay is possibly the most fun i've had with FLstudio in a while, REALLY good for spectral/wet sounds

[@_XRMissie]

1:03 Immediately hooked me with this joke lmao

[@lifexearth]

Btw (I came back to this video cause I wanted to try and make some of the sounds you have shown)... Everything you have shown and stated in this video can be 100% applicable to any DAW/Wavetable and I was able to create all of the drum sounds you have shown. Amazing job making this video, you have shown me and everyone else the 'secrets' to making our very own synthesize drums to use in our tracks. P.S. I'm going to overcharge people for the sounds I have created on gumroad now. 🙂🙂💀

[@Woodeater45]

The uranoid clip caught me off guard lmao, also nice video

[@mofalkmusic]

Love the style

[@ireadysucks3026]

no way it is the real moritz falken 🫨

[@radiofloyd2359]

Just fyi, the really short reverbs are functionally just a comb filter (it's a stack of allpass fiters with a bunch of feddback) with feedback, so that's another easy way to get that specific metallic sound.

[@Shido-kun.]

I've been experimenting with drum synthesis for about 3 years now and I can safely say this; if you wanna make the best sounding snares, it's best to make it so that the transient and the noise tail have their individual operators. Meaning you can have a very punchy transient (preferably noise looped) and fade the noise tail in, so that the snare can punch through. You can also add some soft clip distortion, a highpass _right_ before the fundamental and you're good to go!

[@musicbyfullthrottle]

[@proxmbeats]

wow, that skin looks so good it made me think it was vital

[@Sol_Arts]

First time watching your videos, loved this :)))

[@麻团-o9x]

The pitch envelope of the kick drum synth section can be solved by adding two envelopes. One for the main pitch and the other shorter one for creating transients. Modulating the same parameter with multiple envelopes is one of the techniques for creating sound effects

[@starrybook]

thank you this thing

Okay time to get Serum! 😎 I recently wondered if possible to do an entire track with Serum alone, you just answered that.

[@maxminusbeats]

The advice about the detuned square wave was awesome man thank you

[@jasper7439]

This video is really good! Love how it gives you guidelines but actively tells you to experiment too. Also, I will vouch for Valhalla Supermassive being an awesome plugin, especially for free!

[@six28music]

bill wurtz eliminate (srsly though this is insanely helpful & incredibly high effort, keep killing it !!)

[@BrokenScreen_desu]

I got 3 comments to make here! 1.- Another way to get this metallic quality to sounds is to use a flanger, set the rate to 0 so it doesn't move around and play with the delay (high feedback will enhance it more so play with that too!) 2.- I think 808 hihats are just white noise with a high-pas and high resonance. I've achieved very similar results by doing that, but I think combining that with the detuned square waves will sound dope af! 3.- Since you brought up multiband delay, a cool trick I like to do with it is go to the presets tab, go all the way down and click "randomize" and just use the morph knob to go between the 8 banks! You can get some pretty gnarly textures with that! Anyways great video! I've always struggled a bit with drum synthesis (particularly with snares) and seeing tips from someone is really helpful, so thanks! :D

[@cmyk8964]

This got me from using samples without any idea how they work, to using samples with some idea how they work

[@andymaldonado729]

Nice explanation and edition, thanks bri

[@autonomiccc]

this is by far one of the best and funniest sound design tutorials ever, u have earned urself a new sub

[@EMASEOFFICIAL]

thank you disphing maybe my snares will suck less now

[@EpsteezyFoSheezy]

So you mentioned detuning and high passing a square wave to get metallic sounds. This is an adaptation of methods used in older analog drum machines (Roland's CR-78, TR-606, and TR-808 are popular examples) wherein 6 square waves would be detuned and ring modulated against each other, producing a bright metallic sound with no additional processing needed. An alternative that I recommend is using Serum's chaos oscillator (found in the global page), cranking it all the way up to audio rate, and setting it to modulate the coarse pitch of a square wave. This will potentially save you a filter slot, allows you to keep the metallic sound in mono, and gives (IMO) better results straight off the bat. 🐱

[@Macintoshiba]

the transistions keep getting better and better. that alone has convinced me to subscribe.

[@OfficialLukeyz]

Came up in my recommended as I was searching for sound design stuff as I’m a complete noob, although I’m still unsure with a lot of the terminology I really enjoyed the video and I’m gonna come back and watch it again once I’m more clued up👍😂 keep it up dude

[@A2music]

seeing lephonk in this video made me very happy. Love that plugin

[@illford]

Surely putting the envelope on unipolar also helps

[@Vanatice]

excellent video bruvva

[@ethanchiasson]

The perfect blend of shitpost and high value content, amazing work man

[@AntiTekk]

only critique is that i would hold control shift and click the pitch modulation above the OSC for the kick so that the lowest part of the LFO hits the root note that is played

[@Vitae_]

but it doesnt matter if its constantly changing lul

[@AntiTekk]

@@Vitae_ It hits the root note at the end and stays at it so it is not "constantly changing". I mean it could be, bu thats not how i design my kicks. theres an argument to be made that the kick note is not important if its very short

[@Vitae_]

dont tune ur kicks, its a transient thing bro @@AntiTekk

[@wannabemusic]

i was curious bc i already know this stuff and its hilarious and SO REAL

[@ojay6675]

at 4:33 you can right click any band in parametric eq2 and set the shape to high pass instead of dragging each band down

[@xX_dash_Xx]

This is such high quality. I dont agree/do some of this processing but the editing and jokes are great

to make noise sound metallic you can also use ring modulation

[@AustinZoph]

Take it a step further and add Disperser (a small amount, like 5-10 percent wet), and for snares you can add a psuedo-physical modelling element with FM that will give it an organic sound.

I subscribed within 10s. Awesome presentation style and humour

[@jshstuff]

woah just this week I was trying to figure out how to make noise metallic, all I could think of was comb filtering and that didnt work too well. so this is nice.

[@zionjaymes]

Comb filtering is pretty much the same principal! Extremely short delay with feedback. A comb filter is just not often complex enough to get that a material sound, which is why it's easier to use a very small reflective reverb.

[@zionjaymes]

Another thing you can try is is convolving your drums with other samples, using an IR reverb plugin. Think of it as an extremely complex EQ with insane Q settings. Try convolving a snare or topper with a different high-hat sample for instance, or really anything that has the material quality you're looking for, and the drums will inherit the quality of the IR sample. I've even gone as far as to create my own IR sample pack for this purpose.

[@agromchung]

I have no idea what's going on in this video but it made me laugh several times so good job my dude

[@PROJECTJMUSIC]

Love the editing!

[@iliaslef]

bro your serum looks like vital

[@Krilium]

Tidbit: the reason why Abletons ‘Corpus’ effect is called that is because the technique of getting that metallic sound with short delay times and strong feedback is called ‘karplus strong synthesis’

[@MetaRomik]

this is the best drum instructional video I've ever seen!

[@disphing]

brooo i used to watch ur shit when i was starting out tysm

[@Floyd_F]

To achieve the metallic effect, you could also just use a delay with a really tight feedback timing.
