Techno rumble secrets nobody is talking about

Techno rumbles bathe us in warm low-end energy, but what makes a good rumble? Here I argue that it's the ATONAL noise, rather than the tonal noise, in the sub-bass frequencies that makes rumble so exciting. This video is a masterclass of various considerations for advanced-level techno rumbles.

Probably my favorite channel for producing guides. You add so much personality and spontaneity in your videos, not only it inspires us to makes music, it reminds us what music is about, which is having fun

When Oscar starts a video introducing philosophical concepts, you know it's going to be worth it to get to the end; not because of the techniques you can learn -which of course you do too-, but because he gives you new and very useful points of view: he is a master at making you turn that prism that we often don't think of turning.❤

I feel like I was listening to a friend who just had made progress in his scientific research and was excited about it! Very grateful to have a better understanding of rumbles now! Thanks for the video!

This makes a ton of sense. I’ve always achieved this effect(really inspired by Shed/Head High kicks) by pitching down the kick portion of breaks where there’s lots of low end frequencies. By pitching down the sample, it’s stretching and smearing the frequencies of that transient. Add some filtering, compression and layer something clicky on top and you’ve got yourself a beautiful kick

[emilandersenaudio]

your videos were already great and just get better!

[paultorbert]

YES💛
I’m 68, and I’ve heard so many artists and songs I like and wish I could emulate those timbres…..

It’s just difficult to retain it all in memory and try to conjure it up later when inspiration strikes.

OSCAR, this channel and your teaching fixes my inability to “bring back” those memories and Timbres …!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

I hope your 2024 is Blessed

That speaker thing is a major discourage for me. Like, I mean, really, I tapped on the video to learn something more about techno rumbles and to get some inspiration — and I really did! — and then the next thing I learn is that all of that knowledge I can just throw out of the window because my headphones however good won’t allow me to hear anything. I don’t know, it’s a long time I last felt this hopeless about making music. I could just ignore it if it was some random YouTuber but I really believe Oscar; his advice is always so useful, clever and clear and he is definitely very knowledgeable about music production, and he’s been a great inspiration for me. I’m sorry for this whining, I just really don’t want to open a DAW anymore at this point.

Just made a rumble like this and it sounds sick. The kick cuts thru like butter. No more muddy in the low lows. Thnx a lot for this m8.

the pew and the click video effects are just gold lmao

[GabrielPerboni]

All your ideas makes sense to me and they don’t sound crazy at all… In fact, the way you explain music resonates deeply with the way I understand and practice my own art.
and I will say this:
I don’t listen to electronic music that much, but I take great advantage of all your teachings especially your philosophy about art and how it’s better to understand the rules and then use that knowledge to freely express yourself through intuition… So, yeah, thank you very much

[NoerdMusic]

Your enthusiasm, your personality, your spontaneity and your deep knowledge are a fantastic mix for this kind of video. I really enjoy your content, thank you.

here's a like and a comment
I really enjoy you showing your techniques
love the rumble

Awesome video as always! Something I've noticed in my music, I actually tend to avoid the click entirely by completely low passing the kick. Mostly because my preference for the pulse has always been more of a symphony bass drum vibe, where you feel the pulse more than you hear it. So I'll usually use a combination of a reverb and noise generator, sidechained to the dry signal. Your video perfectly explains why the noise generator is really useful, I was kind of trying to add a bit more nonspecific volume to it, but this makes more sense as to why it works!

We love you, Oscar. Take care of yourself.
