The Secret to Making MASSIVE Synth Pads 🎹 | Vital Tutorial

[@fantasticube]

Your voice is so soothing

[@Caigefox]

I've seen a few of your guides and the thing that really stands out about this one is how you explain things. It's not just a step-by-step walk through on how to make a specific sound. You do a great job explaining your end goal and what each step in the process adds to achieve it.

[@simpson6700]

sampling a separate vital instance and dragging it into your main instance is pretty genius.

[@T-SquaredMusic]

Bro the amount of insanity I just went through just seeing the end results is wild, I am completely brand new to this and this spins me right out :O

[@renosance8941]

Me too! (and I'm 2 years in! =O lol)

[@ilyandilymusic]

Very nice tutorial. Great pacing. Showing a great understanding of Vital as well as a great ability to relay that information. Keep it up. This channel gonna blow up.

[@Prod_Jxrge]

That background makes the video even more ambient! Awesome video! Would love to see more sound design techniques 🛸💨

[@mickeylenny]

Love it!! Is there a reason you chose to use a digital filters? Pretty much never used that category in Vital myself so genuinely curious!

[@federicokata]

This is one of the best synth tutorials i've seen, keep going man, thanks ❤

[@GuyXVIII]

Great tutorial! I have Vital for a few days and it is hands down a freaking beast. also the UI is by far the easiest to understand while having infinite options.

[@watsedhaene]

This is a great tutorial! I never thought of using the noise oscillator like this!

[@aaroncatolico7550]

*Looks like a really awesome synth! I'd like to see more tutorials to showcase what it's capable of. I'm sure that this will inspire more producers to buy your VST as well as the patches or presets you plan on selling along with it. I look forward to more. Thank you for sharing.*

[@beaustine6093]

I know this is a tutorial, but this is totally ASMR as well haha. So calming, i’ve been listening to this while working.

[@jjjessee245]

Good build; thanks for the help

[@zxncofficial]

good tutorial + calming voice

[@nickdijcj1]

I have never hit the bell for a channel before but youre on 2/2 smashes right now and your free presets are amazing so thank you

[@ArtEntity]

you're a vital master. this really inspired me

[@oldensad5541]

Cool tutorial! One thing I've always was worried about with such complex pads is... Usability. Unless you make such pad exclusively for large portion of track/your track is ambient consisting only of pads, it's kinda impossible to incorporate this beauty into your music. Too much is going on to actually put something above this. Sure, we can make it quieter or side chain instruments above it... But it's a shame to push something like this under "leading' instrument. Dilemma 😂

[@Anima-audio]

I feel you there. Sometimes it sucks to work on something just to have it be a supporting element nobody really notices but usually its those details in the background that really make your mix stand out even if its subtle. A lot of my favorite ambient patches ive made usually have to get pushed really far back in the mix during the chorus to the point that I barely hear them outside of the intro but usually whenever I try to take them out the mix feels “empty” in a way. You have to be careful with them since too much will completely take up the entire mix and too little wont really add anything at all. I use them as a subtle texture in those areas where they arnt really there to be heard but rather add a bit of texture or depth to the song

[@zoned7609]

Damn, okay maybe I need to grab vital. I love my opsix, my minifreak, and my cobalt8x... and my micromonsta 2... but none of them have individual unison parameters and detune for each oscillator.

[@theunconciousmind7314]

Deep controled sound design, LOVE IT!!❤❤

[@BigMTBrain]

Beautiful and beautifully presented. Thank you.

[@andreysmirnov8822]

Great work! Show some more 🙂👍🏻

[@ethangunter4937]

I'm so glad Duncan Trussell decided to start making sound design tutorials 😁

[@loquens9726]

Beautiful sound and a beautiful voice!

[@EthereanOriginal]

So many good techniques showcased here. Thank you.

[@SauceMeGud]

Well damn, you've got some skills. And here was me thinking I was getting rather good just for knowing how to program synths at all 😅 Thanks for doing this. I'll make use of these techniques to make some interesting sounds for sure.

[@cjjmail]

Very professional and helpful. I like the way that you explain your thoughts behind everything that you are doing and what you are trying to achieve for each element.

[@davidcaubergh5113]

Come for the info, stay for the calming voice.

[@Chiimare]

Damn u're underrated!!! Keep up the great work!!!

[@leiocerayt]

That vital skin is CLEAN AF!

Incredible tutorial.

[@Pink_Rabbit-Shape_Cloud]

Cool! Thank you!

[@cs.casaSD]

Very nice

[@fenexj]

master class, tysm!

[@xcxlopez7856]

0:04 that sound like "Track 10" from Charli XCX

[@Chiimare]

What about making koan souns/au5/virtual riot inspired sound design? Growls, neuro basses, flanger kind of sounds?

[@Anima-audio]

If youre willing to spend about 10dollars koan sound has a patreon that has a few videos dedicated to their bass and drum design. Im sure we will tackle bass design in the future but not sure when we will do that.

[@Chiimare]

@@Anima-audio well, I have no money :)

[@Anima-audio]

@@Chiimare thats fair lol au5 has videos ok their channel that you can follow, we can definitely cover bass design too but both of us are more melodic producers in general so most of our content will probably be focused around that

[@Anima-audio]

Working on a koan sound bass tutorial right now, might be a bit before its up because i want to find a good way to pace the video but ill let you know when its out

[@Chiimare]

@@Anima-audio thank you -^^-

[@AsJimSeesIt-ox1sk]

Ducking amazing

[@veritas7010]

What is this theme 😳 ❤

[@Anima-audio]

Its from the memoria pack, both our packs come with their own custom skins. anima.audio/products/memoria

[@2024style]

Can you use those skins with the free version of Vital?

[@Anima-audio]

Skins work on any version of vital but these ones specifically come with our paid preset packs if you want to use them.

[@2024style]

@@Anima-audio thanks

[@mr.doriang7520]

it's similar how i do my pads

[@henriquematias1986]

Quality material

[@EdzCreationz]

Duncan is that you

[@andryrossi2895]

What Vital skin is this?

[@Anima-audio]

Its out memoria skin included in the vital preset pack. Both our first packs come with a custom skin. anima.audio/products/memoria

[@andryrossi2895]

@@Anima-audio understood, thanks a lot!

[@kriss12loverap]

Your skin looks like what vital should look like stock

[@ekxdee9707]

Very attractive vital skin, where can i get it myself? :0

[@Anima-audio]

Part of our memoria preset pack, you can pick it up here or in our bundle that comes with 2 skins anima.audio/products/memoria

[@notime4toi]

Why switching channel? The old one is goat!

[@Anima-audio]

This is a collaborative channel between two people now. Both of us talked about it for awhile and decided it would be best to start a new channel together instead of using our personal channels. Our content wont be any different though were still going to continue putting out more sound design and production videos and designing new sounds.

[@notime4toi]

@@Anima-audio thx, appreciate ur explanation

[@liorsilverstein9802]

I kinda missed the massive pad

[@aidennymes6335]

all this sound design.. but you should remove the noise in your microphone recording it's a bit distracting

[@Djent7779]

A pad is what they call a flat or suite appartment in germany So i guess its called a pad, conotating the sterile post industrial futurist lack of organic emotion in modern minimalist interior design.

[@mikedavids2602]

Great tutorial! Next time you can use your audio skills to change your voice so it doesn’t sound like your whisper talking to your girlfriend in bed.

[@381nm]

You really know what you're doing, but I don't. I'd really prefer to have explanation for a lot of the steps you're going through. Why are you highpassing this? Why are you putting phaser on that? I can follow along with this video but it goes by so fast I don't really learn much.

[@erndog64]

Dude, you're not alone! All I do is watch it over and over again, but still like a stone age guy trying to figure out fire!

[@demarcus5935]

Wsg man, I wouldn’t say I’m an expert at sound design and music production but I do have a couple years under my belt at this point. Most of everything he did was juss messing around and experimenting with different things, then doing stuff like high passing it and throwing on a delay for mixing purposes and sound effects. Music is such a confusing topic but so much fun when you understand what you’re doing, lmk if this helps at all 👍🏾👌🏾

[@MrSkunky2009]

So Brilliant !!!
