How Industry Producers Make Risers and Snare Rolls (And Why They Sound Good)

[@oliverquach9614]

TIL my DIY risers suck because the pitch automation is supposed to plateau lol. For anyone doing the reverse reverb technique on vocals I recommend doing it in this order: Take Sample Reverse it Insert reverb, 100% wet w/ long decay Bounce/Render it Reverse again. It’s great because it makes the ‘fading in’ vocal actually intelligible (since you reversed the audio twice)

[@OHKProd]

learned this from mr.bill. Works so well

[@punchilux5783]

I think this was the first tip i ever learned like 12 years ago lmao

[@D-MakSoundz]

Your tutorials are so helpful. Not only for this genre but you also explain everything detailed and in depth so it gives more understanding how things work. Keep up doing what you do!

[@YanickFM]

I never understood how to do the resampling until now.. thank you for how clear and easy to follow these videos are

[@Alice-Efe]

Happy to hear that, cheers Yanick!

I always shy away from crafting builds but all these tips have me inspired and I can't wait to incorporate them! thanks for great knowledge!

[@freethinkers-inc.]

Hi Alice. So funny. Yesterday evening while I was working on a new track, I was thinking about how to make a better sounding snare-roll. This morning I discovered your video where you starting with exactly this. Thanks a lot for the (as always) great tutorials.

[@TehAwesomer]

That tip about using the freeze reverb on a synth to create a sweep is golden. 👍

[@Usageee]

The drop is so satisfying after the buildups towards the end of the video, thanks for the tutorial once again!

[@Alice-Efe]

Happy to hear that. cheers! 😊

[@peterkalyoncu6869]

I hope you finished this build up into a song because it’s an actual rager! That tension makes me feel I’m about to be unleashed from a cannon. Cannot wait to try this principles in my own productions. Thank you so much 😭❤️

[@DrCook45]

Hi Alice, some awesome tips and tricks. I have been lazy in the past and not created my own sounds but the resampling from sounds in the track really makes a massive difference. Once again thank you for your time and effort, and sharing your experience with us. :)

[@Alice-Efe]

Glad it was helpful! The resampling trick can really help to glue things together, hope it comes handy to you as well.✨

[@DrCook45]

@@Alice-Efe Thank you Alice, I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and New Year, Love and peace from the UK :)

[@hansolo8080]

Video has clear title and starts immediately with good and solid info. Thank you.

[@DielectricFailure]

_One thing that sounds good too is if you convert your riser to audio but only if it’s about 2 bars in length, divide into 8 sections & rearrange them randomly. 🎹🏆🎼🎵 Just a cool thing I use as background noise in a breakdown sometimes. Love the tutorial. Real helpful!_

[@okashasunami32]

Great tutorial!! I love your videos! I absolutely have trust and confidence in all your tutorials.

[@DerisDek]

I screamed when you said “I think it’s important reaching the top of the sound slightly before it ends” bc I also do that

[@borisrodriguez-cw3dr]

tip on the part with the 2 auto filters you can do this with one knob using the free XFER DJM filter its emulating the filter on a pioneer mixer so not only do you get one knob killing highs pre 12 o'clock it kills lows post 12 o'clock with 1 knob and your getting that pioneer sound added too which is a vibe in electronic music

[@mageprometheus]

[@ramtinkazempour5685]

Hello Alice. in the accentuation part when you made one of the notes shorter, does this affect the sample since in it once shot mode ?

[@jamesanderson9359]

Can you please make a video on what LFO is and what it does? How to use it... thank you so much.

[@seanrichards9569]

I know you work in Ableton but it would be super awesome to see some of these techniques used in a Logic session. Possible?

The first snare isn’t a ‘classic analogue snare’ - it’s a digital snare sample from the TR707 😎 Good video though (as usual) 👍

[@leowalless9328]

Alice! Excellent as usual, thanks for another inspiring and informative video :-) However, if I could just throw my tuppence in the pot. I can't speak for anyone else, but I personally would prefer it if you adopted a slightly less hectic style of video editing. I find a lot of these fast chops to be a bit disconcerting and aurally unpleasant. I frequently find myself rewinding your clips because I'm not certain that I've heard or understood you properly. That's just my personal take on content that I otherwise find to be always entertaining and enlightening. Thanks for all your hard work

[@brpierre5499]

Thanks !

[@nseesomnia]

Thx 4 that! 🙏

[@lostguy478]

I think instead of 2 filters you could just use a low cut and a high cut on EQ Eight and automate the frequency

[@andresspiva]

what do you mean it starts to sound really cheesy?

[@felippevanzelli4840]

Awesome, that gives me some really nice ideias to map some of its parameters to my Midi devices for some great live effects! That's all about creativity 😎
