A Beginner's Guide to Rave Stabs

[@DJBathtub]

This video is a work of art. You need a Netflix documentary!❤

[@TimCant]

Thanks for watching buddy, I’m glad you are enjoying these 😊

[@JoelWest]

Your guides are unreal man, crazy you only have 5k subs...

[@GODAR_MUSIC]

It will Change soon 🎉🎉🎉

[@Bittamin]

This is actually how I know the information will be helpful unfortunately, for some reason the most brilliant minds are often not the most popular. So lucky we all found eachother!!! Let’s make dirty house!

[@CarrotUK]

Hearing the Landlord stab pattern as a Happy Hardcore one was kind of cursed but brilliant at the same time haha, impeccable research and great video!

[@idlevice1935]

Tim, what a legend! I've watched all of your Beginners Guides... amazing. The history, tutorials AND the links to the featured tracks!!❤‍🔥I'm 52 and have rediscovered tunes from my youth and discovered similar/adjacent music. Not to mention what you're doing for my production skills. Keep up the great work.

[@PilzE.]

Where did the years go, Brother? It was perhaps 7 or 8 years ago, that I was a fresh-faced 18-year-old, excitedly getting on a tube to Vauxhall, destination the Arches, Godding Street, for Club Sandwich, the awesome club night put on by Smart Boys pirate radio station. However, in twelve days time I too will be 52 years old!!! How'd that happen??? 🤪

[@ThomwoththeWeather]

good time for us, as I am 52 next month, and just saw The Flaming Lips live in Vancouver last week.. This era is OURS to share with everone!

[@templeofleila]

That was so good! It was like a history/music appreciation class with a retro tutorial for the kids coming up in it.. Very nice!

[@templeofleila]

@@sparklesparklesparkle6318 weird and cool.. it sounds like the music is inducing a sympathetic experience causing you to overuse your serotonin. I think your body is remembering a VERY good times. Just get some sun to re-balance out your melatonin/serotonin level... I've had that happen with darude sandstorm

[@Spacek531]

Listening to each stab individually is like a hit right in the noggin. I love these stabs!

[@iKiWY]

Started researching rave stabs more deeply yesterday for fun and now this poped up, amazing timing!!

[@RonWellsJS]

Fantastic video that shows the benefit of learning sound design

[@TimCant]

Thanks for the help Ron, and all the amazing music of course 👊

[@junorave]

Ahh. So nice to hear someone that knows & understands these classics and how they were sampled.

[@SamO-jf8zq]

every video you've posted is absolute gold. there's massive value in learning where the sounds i've been hearing my whole life have come from and your delivery is fantastic. massive fan of the channel.

[@Lothyde]

The way you talk is so satisfying

[@bentibbs8919]

These beginner's guides are fantastic Tim, packed full with helpful information and really well presented. Please keep up the great work!

[@chopiesthechook]

I'm just starting to learn about music production, so this video is perfectly timed and super valuable. It's a great insight to how these stabs came to be and a bit about the subculture in general

[@BenCaesar]

This is unreal, what a Goldmine of a video

[@Remzcore]

Good work Tim! Many many useful information there 🤩

[@austinmontgomery6683]

This is one of the best electronic music tutorials I've seen

[@armignac]

just found your channel today and you upload now. Really nice! Thanks a lot!

[@freelounge6001]

Great video. FYI you can turn down unison stereo width right in Serum in the unison settings (defaults at 100 but you just turn it down to 0) no need for the utility after.

[@modelchanger1332]

Great channel, keep posting videos please

[@gonzalo3046]

probably the best video I've ever watched, rave stabs are my favorite kind of sound and seeing where they come from is amazing

[@maschinelab8598]

Love your content! The two jungle videos are soooo dope!

[@flaberant3774]

THE GOAT RETURNED

[@johngorgis]

To my ear the cz101 bombscare organ sample 2bm used sounds like it has some chorus from something like a Roland dimension d and overdrive probably from a mic preamp

[@dxtrs_mnpltr]

Wow! Amazing Tim! For someone like me who lived the hardcore rave era in his teens, this is pure gold!

[@addisondragon7899]

Been watching tutorials on youtube for over a decade and ive never seen anything as informative as your videos!!

[@NTMTR_OFFICIAL]

Incredibly grateful for your listing of the tracks mentioned !

[@drastically143]

Your channel unironically helps me bonding with my daughter, thanx man!

[@TimCant]

That’s wicked ☺️

[@PilzE.]

Seriously though, Tim, you Sir, are fucking nailing it! These videos are phenomenal!!! Who else is busting with pride at the amount of tracks mentioned in these videos that are sitting in their vinyl collection? Also, anyone else got one of their kids, in my case my youngest, my 15-year-old son, whose now obsessed with vinyl? We went to HMV in Truro a couple of weeks back, and, as I browsed the dance section, he kept running up, clutching a slab of the precious plastic, beaming with passion and desire at his various finds. Takes me right back. 😍

[@urphakeandgey6308]

If you just want something to give you a bunch of sounds to work with out of the box, "Rave generator" is a free VST that is basically nothing but a bunch of stab samples.

[@andrewrossy]

An absolutley brilliant forensic breakdown of Rave Stabs. Indexed, all tracks linked. Gold standard stuff. I am so glad that the algorithm suggested otherwsie would never had discovered. Have now subscribed ... and thank you so much for doing this.

[@bakesbasha]

dude i love your videos so much, really appreciate the historical context.

[@danep99]

Fantastic video. You put a lot of effort into researching and curating this! Thank you.

[@baxkill]

YEAH BABY THAT'S WHAT WE BEEN WAITING FOR THAT'S WHAT'S ALL ABOUT WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I Was really getting stuck at this, very much arigato you sick bastard

[@TimCant]

Very happy to help 😁

[@palaHD]

Your attention to detail is exemplary,I’ve been making music since notator on the Atari up to ableton12 currently and in all that time I’ve seeked answers that I’ve never been able to get up until now April 2024,the landlord patch amongst others 🙌

[@Rooballeux]

I found a real treasure clicking on this video, immaculately done

[@dave07drummer]

just watching this while cooking roast dinner and woke up to a bad morning, this has cheered me up no end 👌

[@maricampari3970]

Man, I thought I was gonna see a documentary about covert psychedelic-fueled EDM concert violence. But instead I learned that a rave stab is that sound I frikken love in every dance song. Noice!

[@djdren]

it just so amazing the amount of knowledge you drop on each episodes ..

[@Malfunkn]

here i am, realizing that I do not in fact know everything and deciding to educate myself on rave stabs.. looking down the list of videos... and I see this one. if a "begginer's guide" is 32 minutes long, that's the begginers guide I want. thank you for this.

[@erikno2992]

I have watched your last two vids, the bass one i started today And now, without even having notifs on, this!!! Awesome!

[@prod.natejalo1122]

this is my first time discovering this channel, this is awesome thanks. subbed

[@lxxwj]

this is a fantastic video, ive always wanted to learn more about early rave music and just never knew where to start. ill definitely be using some of these tracks in my dj sets. theres just something so otherworldly about parallel harmony (using the same chord structure and moving it around) and i cant get enough of it

[@Epic501]

Fantastic series, such high effort and clear communication. Notifications on for this channel easily

[@Finndog1973]

I love the history and the actual source...fantastic!

[@ijimedia]

dam just finished the breakbeat vid and this one just dropped, absolutely worth the subscription

[@natus49]

John B - Up All Night probably my favourite instance of rave stabs ever

[@edrevvvv]

Never lived that era , im 30. But whenever i hear arave stab/ hoover bass in a party idk, i sense some nostalgia and unique feeling, that no other samples gives me

[@thomasschumacherOFC]

Stellar job Tim, so much valuable information with a lot of attention to detail. Danke.

[@rleriche5044]

So good! Did a knowing nod when the re-sampled Spectrum stab got its 3rd gen.

[@Matt_10203]

These videos really expanded my knowledge on a lot of these subjects as they can be pretty obtuse to research. Thanks Tim

[@vinoxo]

On the square bass at 29 mins you add a utility to narrow it. You can reduce the osc width in Serums global tab

[@elliem_music2122]

Thanks for this video! Been trying to figure out rave stabs for a while and love knowing the history.

[@rhinozz43]

awesome video, tim! small thing - you say around 29:20 that you may want to turn width down using something like Utility. this can actually be done within serum in the Global tab at the top by turning down the Width!

[@jonoaerts]

❤ this soo much. More of this please. Didn’t want it to end

[@BrandNewByxor]

Very helpful. This video taught me the source of so many different sounds that I've wanted to search for but didn't know any names for

[@jamesorr4061]

This series is amazing. I'd love to see you do an overarching history of dance music at some point.

[@RuffneckBizniz]

Brilliant video! Very interesting incite into the background of race and where the samples originated from

[@hlgrv]

Thank you, this is beyond awesome! The only reason this is not the best video on the internet ever is because what about A beginner's guide to Jungle Bass & Jungle Breakbeat then :)

[@harrymoschops]

I am now enlightened when it comes to rave stabs. Hoover nice day

[@AvithOrtega]

Great video and docummentary! is nice to see another fellow music producer to also show some sample based music history.

[@karimayoubi74]

Cracking bit of music history. Two thumbs up and a monster gurn for you, Tim!

[@eightcoins4401]

Redux ontop of the ableton simpler is a good way to get the old sampler sound Bitcrush to the correct specs and make sure to use pre and post filer for the "dark" sound, adjust cutoff to liking Fairlight CMI/II: 16kHz, 8bit Emu-Lator II: 27kHz, 8bit Akai S2000: 22kHz, 16bit Alot of these could have higher specs in some cases [usually only really short samples], but for that asort of sound you want the worst possible sound they have. Sloppy sample work also helps to keep some grit, none of the people back then could really finetune trim samples. Alot of interesting dark texture comes from sounds you dont want still being in the sample The simpler already works like the old samplers to begin with considering resampling/detuning too

[@H34DR00M]

Great video! I really like your well researched content and your calm way of presenting it.

[@kitsuneandcake]

Okay so I listened to Tim's latest A/B and I LOVE those tracks. Wilderness is so perfect. Reminds me quite a lot of my favourite tracks from Logistics. Absolute find! You guys should go listen!

[@yungstigmatamanne]

your doing great work bro i highly anticipate these videos, super insightful stuff

[@geomardomingo1672]

I have heard these sound for so long but I have never listened to them. Amazing work

[@stylusnation]

Amazing history and great tips, I really appreciate the thought and care that you put into these videos - respect!

[@connorhall70]

absolutely love the history you delve into. mint video

[@whatthepeoplewant6953]

Love the history!!!! Excellent video mate

[@olnium]

Great vid! You should check out Cakewalk Z3TA+ 2. It's the OG waveshaping VST.

[@andyrechenberg]

As soon as I heard that CMI orchestra hit I immediately thought of DEFCON by Impakt. Great video. 👏🏼

[@lxxwj]

INSTANT subscribe from me, this is one of the best videos ive ever seen

[@ruuen]

Love all your videos Tim, such a massive source of useful information and history. Keep up the good work!!

[@evaldasazbukauskas3811]

Love your content! Incredibly educational and informative. Keep them coming!

[@KevDmusic]

Fantastic Tim, this goes for all your videos! so much great information in all of them, really appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us

[@ORPEdnb]

You're a genius, man. What incredibly valuable information, looking forward to your future videos!

[@gnosis6073]

Amazing video thank you!!!

[@federico7367]

I love u please dont ever stop doing with these guides its amazing content

[@flpgus]

Guide to Rave Stabs 1. Get a knife 2. Go to a rave crowd 3. Don't stab anyone, I'm just playing Great video!

[@cerbulvechi]

Amazing work my dude! Keep posting, we like it!

[@dovydasgataveckas427]

Incredible videos! Keep up the great work!!

[@Gainn]

The Yamaha QY boxes (and SY keyboards) do the New Directions bass almost perfectly without tweaking. (patch on the QY's is - Sqr.Bass) I'd always assumed the extra layer on Bombscare was just some filtered noise. Possibly chopped out of the explosion?

[@airfixx_8952]

Cool vid, man! Nice little nostalgia trip and some cool tips too. :)

[@TheActualTed]

Amazing video, thank you for an intro to all the amazing tracks which name's I've never heard, many landed in my playlist.

[@phil76414]

What an incredibly interesting video. Thank you.

[@londaillexber9571]

Thank you some much, I have been needing this video

[@RAISING_WOLVES]

Loving this Tim!! Really deep into breaking down the sources, Seriously solid content 💯💯

[@maxlemke9.5]

Top tier KZbin video right here 🙏

[@magnusr3428]

This was amazing, so well researched and comprehensive. Loved every minute of it.

[@softmoneyy]

mate, really great videos! cant wait to watch the rest. if i do have one critique, however, it would be to see ableton in full screen less. maybe interject with some more pictures? as someone who spends most of their waking hours staring at ableton, it's kinda disorienting cause I cant remember if I'm watching a video or still producing, lol Also, please do a beginners guide to dub sirens!

[@wostmusic8482]

i just got into your videos and i love them! big ups

[@rave-vinyl-reminiscence]

This video is bloody brilliant. The exact education I need 🙏

[@asanisi]

This is a real time trip, more so than the beats. “You can recognize these sounds even if you haven't heard the records”-well you don't say. And indeed I'm not too familiar with early hardcore. Now, if someone made such an excursion into sounds of 90s-early 2000s techno, I could pretty much close up in this Matrix.

[@snoozyboio]

Oh, RAVE stabs, not rave STABS.

[@Trashtatine]

Oh nah 💀

[@olakinberg5412]

?

[@walterkerr1194]

These videos are great man keep it up!!

[@keygenMayor]

I honestly just expected a first aid video but ayyy this is epic

[@nobbystyles4807]

awesome. i always assumed the landlord stab was a piano heavily processed. rave generator and rave generator 2 are must haves. great stuff, subbed the channel thanks!

[@HAZARDOUS88]

Brilliant video. Thanks so much!

[@soundstothecore3714]

Good videos. Good knowledge. Put together well. Keep up the good work!

[@geoff7894]

Hey Tim, You're a G, that is all. Love from Fort Worth, Texas!!
