8 tracks on the beatport chart at the age of 22 >< madness
[quote]Dj Skoogh (30/10/2010)[hr]Yes!!!
a tutorial on that one would have been nice! A resampling tutorial like the one for Ableton. But this time, do with an external sampler, for us who´s not using Ableton!!
This is my biggest issue right now, i have tried to follow the tut in the dogsonacid links above, but i don´t get it. So this would really be helpful!!
Thanks:)[/quote]
you using Kontakt? If so i can send you some images and help you out
I would def re-subscribe if this was made. And im sure tons of other people on the internet will pay to see this tutorial. Skrillex is blowing up. There is no other sound I would rather know how to make atm then that wrahhhhh synth that comes in in this song
I completely agree I signed up here to learn how to make dubstep with Ableton and Skrillex has taking this thing to the next level If this tutorial is made is a easy to learn manor I will resubscribe for 2 years! I think the best example of the roaring style talking bass sound is in the track Scatta. Simply insane Please someone make this if the folks on SA can’t someone from the forum should try. I’ve been trying for 3 days straight with very little luck. This would be so sick to know how to do. I already am pretty good ar resampling but the sound is just something I can’t achieve. thanks for any and all help!
This was posted today on S2S if that helps in the meantime

great video dark!
Meh, still not that close. He gets his sound so disgusting yet so clear. And they are so vocal and deep. All of the sounds from people trying to imitate him sound so… Massive-ey. His sounds like a monster robot vomiting beautiful harmonics.
I have seen a lot of people trying, on many different forums… not yet have I heard one person get close.
Phil, please help figure it out. I will sell you my soul. 
bassline resampling, done many times each time using vowel filters, i recommend using WOW filter vst its amazing for getting this distorted talking sounds, also using the albeton waveshaper is a huge weapon for getting roaring basslines!
hope this helped

I gotta resurrect this thread (I know there are several requesting this, but I picked this one cause it was the longest).
A Skrillex tutorial would be the bomb man. If we could get that it would be amazing. Just use ableton this time because Cubase was so glitchy for Bryan. 
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase!
This is a good start

Yeh man, I went through that yesterday. Some good stuff in there for sure. I haven’t seen anyone match his bass for depth yet though, so it’d be nice to see Phil give it a go.
However, that one sound isn’t the only part of Skrillex’s music I’d like to see explained. All the other accompanying sounds that go with his bass would sweet to see broken down. For example in Skatta (2:30-3:05) or the harsher tones scattered throughout Kill Everybody (Bare Noize Remix) at 0:55, 1:02 & 2:10.
Another thing I’d like to learn is how he did the vocals for With your Friends (Original Mix) beginning at 5:49. Are they just cut up or did he do it all in an auto tune like plugin etc. Also, how did he get the you’s to sound so bell like (example 5:56-5:58). These aren’t something I would do with a whole song like he did but they’d be cool spot effects (like in Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites at 0:27).
Granted some of this stuff probably wouldn’t need more than a single Tech Tip or so and maybe some of it’s simple and I’m a putz for not getting it but I think it’d be good to cover because I think Dubstep is going to be headed in this direction in America (or so I hear) because a lot of the hard rock kids more associate with it so it’s bringing in new fans.
nobody in sonic academy will be able to help you with this. i garentee. this type of production takes hours of messing around resampling/using massive etc. only a handful of people can really do it well, in comparison to 8th note kick sidechaining… this is a whole other level. it requires using massive then resampling it then each time u resample it downsample it slightly, you add different effects such as chorus each time or formant filters. but the best bit of adivice i can give u is dont waste hour reading crap online get in the studio! start messing around youl start making some original sounding stuff pretty soon!
if anyone needs any help pm me or ask here
ive dedicated the past 2 weeks to just learning this technique and it is very hard! but so much fun when u make sounds like transformers farting… maybe soon il make them fight instead

Do you have any clips of your recreation of it?
If you don’t think they could do a tutorial perhaps you could do it for them? :hehe: They are looking to start a user generated content area I believe…
I’m doing some work in what little studio I have but not on that particular sound. That’s one of those sounds you can’t just intuitively figure out, a little bit of guidance is necessary I believe (though it sounds like I need to invest money I don’t have in Massive now if I want it, haha).
there are a ton of youtube videos including a techtip here on SA that covers the technique of re-sampling to create unique basslines…
Check out Tech Tip 6 (Tutorials 59 - 62)
as for getting the exact sound of Skrillex… good luck. HAHA!!
i will try and make some sort of tutorial when i can. not sure if it will be video but maybe a step by step guide. im no pro at this but i would be happy to help people with it. for now tho… bed

Word, sounds good.
I’ve already checked out the Bass Resampling Tech Tips a few times during my subscription, but what about the other sounds I mentioned. Any ideas? Don’t really care to emulate his music but the techniques could definitely be used to accent a song.
…Besides, atleast I’m not whining about Trance. Oh! :w00t:

The basslines are done through resampling as was stated above. the basslines you just kinda have to play with. to get the DEPTH that you want from a bassline like skrillex requires you to actually have 3 bass lines. low, mid & high. eq accordingly.
With you friends is a great song. I love this track. He is using Melodyne for the vocals in with you friends. it is a plugin for vocals. it works great. good stuff.

Didn’t put this in your new thread because it wasn’t really relevant and figured I’d end the topic here. I’m not familiar with Melodyne but it seems really cool. Would you say this is also Melodyne used in a more subtle way to make the female’s voice flutter? (Mostly at 1:29 but they do a lot of vocal effects during the verses too). It sounds like some odd reverb thing maybe thru the plugin.

when her voices does that repeat at 1:29 there is a couple things going on.
you could do that with melodyne or you could also do it with a simpler or sampler.
I’m not really that great with melodyne so I can’t be much help with it. but hopefully that is something we can get going in the other thread that I started. a melodyne tutorial would be awesome for ALL genres of music. vocals are also on high request here at Sonic Academy. so I know we would get some more support for this.
if you were working with audio the easiest thing to do would be to crop the audio file in ableton to be just the WORD that you wanted like “ME” or “YOU” or whatever… then once you have this cropped you could throw that into a simpler or sampler. Using the cropped vocal as the sound for the simpler you could draw in the notes that you wanted and use a different length (make a half bar, 1 bar, 2 bar or 4 bar loop). At this point you could also add different Effects to the vocal that are not on the main vocal playing along side this “oneshot”.
or you could just crop the audio and use melodyne to get the pitch & sound you want. then layout the audio files in 16th note patterns or something like that to get the sound right.
