Other forms of EDM producing

Tbh some things are just trial and error, its always good to use tutorials but they only take you so far.

Yeah but I don't think I will get far if I turn knobs till it sounds right, but don't know what the knob actually is for. I don't know all those names , how it's called and what it does etc. I need some knowledge

Well often people find the ADSR controls the hardest to grasp
which is Attack, Decay, Sustain & Release.



Attack is the switch that tells you the time of when it gets to the maximum point

Decay is the switch that tells you the time when it goes down from the maximum point

Sustain is the switch that tells you the level of the sound you hold your note for

Release is the switch that tells you the time of the volume to hit zero, so a high release will carry on after the note has been played.

i highly reccommend you the synth guide i wrote like two years ago...
tutorials-f22/synthesizers-and-how-they-work-t7047.html
i have an extended 13-page version in german in case you understand german.

Well just google around on synthesis, shouldn't be too hard to find articles or video about that. May be a bit boring but in the end it's worth it. The most basic thing you need to know is that the input of a synth is the note you hit, that "information" goes to an oscillator(or usually several oscillators)(where you select the waveform, its octave, detuning etc), then goes through a filter and from there to an amp and the output is the sound you get. Usually in the meantime it'll go through some fx aswel. If you know how the signal "flows" it should be doable to just look at the synth and think through how it kinda works. Massive is kinda cool for that, if you go to the routing tab you can really see how the signal goes from input to output. But then again, this is just a really short kinda summarizing loads of information so the best thing you could do would be to watch some tutorials that actually explain synthesis rather than showing around which knobs to tweak.

I find that pretty much the easiest to be honest.

[nuttyt]

haha yea ive had so many people ask me what attack does though

[zanshi]

the adsr is actually one of the easiest elements to grasp.
try programming an fm-matrix on a 2-line lcd display, that's a pain in the ass.

Thanks for the information all!

Massive should be enough its heavy glitch rape and putting and slicing different sounds together.
A Lot Resampling as well .
so if u want to make electro and stuff its like i said resample sounds layer them glitch them.

for pads and amtopshere and leads use Fxpansion Plugins .
For Woobles and Growls Get Cyclop.
for General leads , atmosphere , woobles , NI Massive.

only plugins i can think of.
