Create Tension With This Sound

[@BKDAYZ]

This is such a great tutorial topic. The “sustained string” we all hear in house and deep. Not so common in tutorials but much needed. Thanks for catching it: Next on the not so common list I’d love to see one on RIDES. How you place and process. Thanks!

[@BKDAYZ]

@infoslinger I figured that but personally Do you just slap it on and do nothing but eq it?

[@TaurusMusicYT]

THIS is the ONLY video on this topic. I’ve been looking for a tutorial on this for sooooo long!!

[@robertschulz6558]

I can't believe noone except you now after all of these years of rised house music made a tutorial about that sustained note while you can hear it in almost every house track. Big thanks to you for that. Have been looking for it since years.

[@kilometersnoblue4311]

Need a tutorial on how to process vocals like that because i love that style

[@animal__music]

I use this a lot in combination with a Reese bass! A really low frequency with a really high frequency builds a ton of tension and is often used in horror sound tracks

[@adlyinc.7912]

I just searched that string on purpose wallah thank you zenzen

[@tiagocavalcante2854]

Just used this one! Thanks for sharing this information Zen!

[@thirdofthefourth8738]

Thank you for this. I was struggling to describe what sound I was looking for!

[@Vibesformusic]

This idea would be great for a Festival starter song🕺

[@jj53368]

Your videos just keep getting better and better. More of this type of content please! Tension, emotion, expectations met and not met, all of that is related, important and not talked about enough. :]

[@fuenstock]

Good to see Sylenth getting some love! It’s still a great synth.

[@oscarmolina2024]

That Patagonia sponsorship tho!

[@theriddick2735]

I've wanted to know how to create a tension string like this for a while, so big thanks, man! Greatly appreciated.

[@UnKnown1631]

[@andersonm-music]

[@Oversampled]

Yess!!

[@kriskropd]

I've never noticed those before. That's a neat trick, mixed with the fade like that.

[@Musicbypinge]

My ears thank you..

[@UonBoat]

Wow been in music creation for more than 10 years and never heard someone talking about this thing. Interesting.

[@myFreeMickey]

Great video. Love that tou used sylenth1 instead of serum. Wanna see more of that synth ❤️

[@gomesdiogo]

+10 is the best one

[@marcin-vo6pu]

The most interesting thing is vocal. Can you show something about such vocals

[@fischfreek]

good stuff

[@InterAxtion]

Keep it up Zen!!! You are GOD SEND to this community.

[@thomas_rellum]

The track is very good!

[@electromove18]

Oye Brothe, did you release this song? The bass in the back was simple but nasty and the vocal 😙👌🏼

[@typicallymoody]

Do you have a turtorial on how to make that bass sound in this video?

[@jonion7648]

I always use Arturia Solina for this

[@nikku1166]

Omnisphere has a good one called "Power String + Tron" that works well for this. Nexus 2 has a really good one as well; i don't own it so I can remember exactly, but i think it's called "Pizzicato Dark". Think that's the one Luke Bond uses.

[@amg5656]

The classic version in house music is a high string from the Korg M1

[@ZenWorld]

TY recently been seeking it finally know woot

[@thomas_rellum]

Hello, please can you tell me where do you find your vocals?

[@brianphury8509]

Hey am gonna go off the video topic and just request for a video. would you talk a bit about talent agencies and how they work and at what point can a producer get to reach out to them basically at that point when u got a good following how do you get to the point where you are headlining festivals?

[@ezequielveleda840]

Nossa demais esse vídeo, inacreditável eu tava querendo esse timbre e n sabia como fazer e vc me aparece c esse vídeo

[@buzzandjim4265]

[@johnnyblueeyes1555]

[@chinguyen-vr8yd]

Hi Zen!! thanks for sharing this. btw, where did you get the vocal in that track?

[@chucku.farley]

first song I ever heard this was Joy Division "Love Will Tear Us Apart". I've probably over used it ever since.

[@CamzifyOfficial]

Big up Zen! ❤️

[@justbluemusic]

Were you in a chipotle commercial?

[@Leftblu]

I regret now not buying used license key for sylenth1 that I got offered. This is a sound I wanted to create but all the ways I tried it didn't sound that same.

[@navazmerchant3241]

There's a string preset in one of the factory banks, browse through them, or any one of the Adam van Baker soundbanks, there's 3, one of them has a similar preset

[@N1K5TA]

👍

[@alife8903]

Dirty Chicken Vol 2 SYLENTH1 .. I don't like Xfer for Tech House

[@mememan2428]

If u wanna go more detailed, use kontakt libraries or shit like labs and compress that shit with stereo widening, reberb and chorus.. Sounds crazy.. great video 🔥

[@Mtaalas]

ANY held or repetitive note creates tension, unease... you're approaching this as it's about the sound, but it's not. You can achieve the same effect with almost any sound with a pitch using repetition or sustaining it long enough. Stuff like this is elementary composition stuff, not sound design or production stuff.

If you know so much, where's your music?
