Another tip for getting more energy in the sub frequency range of a mix is taking an EQ and carving out some dBs in the 100-200 hz range.

Cutting this range will give you more headroom for your sub to sit in the mix while not sacrificing the tone of your sounds in the higher/more audible freq range. If this makes your sub inaudible with small speakers, add some saturation and/or boost around 800 hz. It will make your sub audible through the added harmonics. Fun fact: Your brain can process added harmonics into determining the fundamental root note even if the root note is removed from the sound.

You can also HP any track that shouldn’t have sub frequencies, but personally I like to do this when I do the mixdown in case I need more warmth in sections of a song that doesn’t have a designated sub.

Sinoid fold rules! Start with color off, turn clip on, and start just dialing in 1-3db. Often, you can get something like a pseudo hard limiter effect with a tube sort of sound. The clipper chops the top giving a bit of square sound, and the sinoid saturation adds in harmonics kind of like FM. Color can help dial in specific timbres (but can also be destructive). I find the cleanest sounds balancing drive/wet values. Love your vids.

Thank you very much! Especially for the tip on saturation, I was struggling a little. xd

I don't know why I thought it was a good idea to watch this on a phone lol

I forget to put sub bass in sometimes but for Hiphop it's a must.

Dark Minimal Techno tutorial please :)

[michaelreddish]

thanks man, watch alot of tutorials, you've become a stable for me, cos you a clear communicator

[Dappatron]

Dude, just gotta say a massive big ups to these videos you're banging out. You've genuinely helped me get to a point where I'm happy with my own productions and at a point where I am comfortable sending out demos to labels again. Thanks man and keep on smashing it 💪

[lateralshiftmusic]

I love how you got kinda distracted by the sinoid fold for a moment you were totally feeling that sound there haha, I'm gonna use that too it sounded sick!

[Keef_cooks_up_beats]

Some game changing tips, simple but massive - thank you!!!

Abletons saturators fold is the 1 and only feature of Ableton I missed when switching to Bitwig

[onray]

Thanks for another awesome, informative video dude! Really cool to see you make some discoveries on your own in the process, that's why I love teaching - everyone learns <3

[dozzzzer]

Thank you, that was incredibly helpful!

[ohgee]

great video man! never thought to layer the global tuning with different LFO's

[lumpy-muisc]

I have been watching various channels on YouTube about music/DAW for many years. Recently came across STRANJAH and it's incredible! Accessible, understandable, interesting! I don't speak English well, but even I understand. Immediately tried to use many things and even wrote a track, it inspired me) THANK YOU! ♪♫♪

A minor correction for 03:20. Bipolar mode set to value 20 will actually make it drop from 10 above the main value to -10 under the value. So not from 20 to -20 as you state.

Big ups on all the tutorials you do Stranjah. I always feel like I either learn something or at least refresh my knowledge when I watch your vids

[skeennah]

Amazing stuff, I will use saturator more in different ways

[riddimfernandez]

Thanks for this, I've been using SubLab but wanted just a solid low end and I think this is great!

sinoid fold is waveshaping with a it's a similar dsp process that is the one built into the Korg 01/w that was used a lot by the basement records crew in 92/93 for all those crazy jungle techno stabs

Your Hat looks Dope ! Great Video! Hope you're well.
