Sound Design / A different approach to a simple saw
« on: March 29, 2016, 04:49:15 pm »
Hey, it`s Matt Viper!
I`ve been making distorted saw basses today and one moment I tried something I`ve never done before - playing on the lowest notes. As you know, it should be useless because it`s too low, BUT try clipping distortion on those slow oscillations and you`re ought to have a pretty interesting result.
Anyway, here it is: Second part is without drums, third is weird because there is an arpeggiator going on range spanning 6 octaves (who does that, lol) then it`s played normally on some notes in a similar to old madeon encore fashion, so you can see it`s just a distorted saw, without fx it`s just 3 saws, lol.
Tell me, have you done some weird things and got some cool results and wish to share the techniques?
Cheers!

Sound Design / Madeon - Encore
« on: February 13, 2016, 03:24:31 pm »
Hello
Welcome to another Madeon thread
I want this: https://youtu.be/7qDPK51-I_k?t=5m34s
Maybe we could work on it Together?
Let`s start with scale and chords. I`m trying to figure it out right now.

WIPs / Matt Viper - The;End
« on: January 29, 2016, 10:20:09 pm »
Hello you!
Here is the composition on piano and rhodes of the song I wrote today. I begin the process of producing only when I have the arrangement ready. So, yeah, does it have any potential? It`s supposed to be the ending song of the album I would make someday, so listen to it with this context in mind :)

Thanks!

Sound Design / Madeon - The City
« on: January 29, 2016, 05:13:59 pm »
Hello!
I know I know, another Madeon thread but when I can`t make a song I simply try to remake something of his, it`s a nice training.
So, today I`ve taken a shot at The City.
I remember producers on FL Studio forum had created The Night Out remake one time. Maybe we could work on some Madeon songs together?
Here it is:

Sound Design / Madeon - Together
« on: January 21, 2016, 07:21:01 am »
Hey!
There is this new Madeon Live Song called Together
I remade it, well this is how it sounds with the Imperium Bass i`d made earlier it`s a similar sound. It should decay longer
Notes may be off because I decided to have a little more fun with it
Here it is:

Try it yourself it`s a cool sound!

Sound Design / Madeon - ID or new Shuriken Live Edit
« on: January 21, 2016, 05:52:07 am »
Hey!
So there is this new Shuriken live edit by Madeon
https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/hphotos-xpf1/t50.2886-16/12604153_910418822378169_949735192_n.mp4
I know the quality isn`t the best but I fell in love with it, and it`s probably not gonna be released.
I had no idea on how to recreate it so I`ve made my own version based on it
Here it is: https://soundcloud.com/matt-viper/madeon-id-revision
So I`m thinking, maybe you`ll have better luck recreating it and if you could figure out the chords, like there are two? I dunno I made them using my fav chord progression.
Okay, let`s work on it! Maybe we can get to it together!
Cheers!

Mixing/Mastering / Stereo Separation
« on: January 13, 2016, 10:58:57 pm »
Hey!
I`m curious about your methods of controlling stereo image of your sounds.
What I often do is use Maximus. It`s a multiband compressor and each band has its own stereo separation knob.
I set low to mono, widen mid a bit and highs a lot.
Cheers!

Composition/Arrangement/Theory / Spicy, interesting chords
« on: January 13, 2016, 07:35:33 pm »
Hey!
The question might sound silly but I`ve been wondering if you incorporate any cool chords into your chord progressions. You know, chords outside your scale.
It would be cool if you used roman numbers notation like V7 or tell me what the chord is in a minor, because I always write in piano roll in a minor and change the key digitally but anything will do.
When it comes to me, I love to use V9, so in a minor it`s an extended E Major chord instead of the usual e minor. Notes are EG#BDG. It resolves really nicely into a minor, the root.
Another one would be II, so D Major when I`m in a minor. Well, it`s always nice to try to use the major version of the chord, it sounds uplifting. To give you an example, it`s the last chord in the chord progression in Deadmau5 - Ghosts n Stuff. You can replace d minor or a minor with it, no one expects D Major inquisition!
Also I`m going to experiment more with bVI and bVII in major scale. In C Major it`s G# Major and A# Major, I believe. When resolved to C Major it`s a nice movie-like happy ending. Technicolor by Madeon ends this way.
When it comes to chords within the scale I love to use sevenths. My favourite chord ever is VI7. In a minor it`s F Major 7 I believe. I might be wrong because it could be like a dominant or major seventh I`m not really good with the theory about them but yeah. It feels nostalgic to me. Also v7, V7, I7, iv7 and vi7. Sometimes I might extend to a ninth.
So, how about you? I`d love to know :)
Cheers!

Sound Design / Remaking Madeon
« on: January 13, 2016, 07:00:49 pm »
Hey! What`s up?
Have you ever tried remaking the one and only Madeon? Because I have and it`s always such a pain, like sure, I can remake most of edm sounds but him?! And it really annoys me because he uses the same synths and stuff so it`s definitely possible! So, I ask you to share your attempts, here are some of mine:
- Some Zephyr sounds https://soundcloud.com/matt-viper/zephyr
- Home Arp https://soundcloud.com/matt-viper/home
- The City lead https://soundcloud.com/matt-viper/the-city-lead-remake-attempt There should be a pitch down at the end but I failed at it so whatever
- Imperium Bass, kinda? It was hard for me. https://soundcloud.com/matt-viper/imperium-bass-remake-attempt
I can`t to hear what you did :)
Cheers
