🙏 Learned quite a bit from this

Eystein Askevold

Thank you for this. :). Always wanted to see how a KOAN sound track looks like.

Griffin Hall

y'all are insane. thank you for this.

Ben Bagley

insane guys thank you

Dan Wright

Awesome break down! Quick question - that warping reesey bass you make through all of the automation etc - in the sampler (before all the post processing), is it the same basic reese bass as in your previous tutorial showing your methods of bass design?

Glazork

Thank you guys ! Always been wondering about the way you've made that crazy "metric modulation"... Now I know the thing behind it :)

Kaito

This has made me so happy taking a peek at this, it's just amazing thank you so much <3

Isaac Liekens

Less is more you say Jim? HAVE YOU SEEN YOUR PROJECT!?!? Great stuff, way to much to proces :D Thank you <3

Shrug

So sick!! Much love fellas <3

Yip Kwan

Really Want to see how Cobalt look like in the project file

koansound

It's similar yeah but a bit more processed. We did the same thing as in that tutorial except instead of starting with an operator in ableton, we played a long note on a hardware synth (prophet 6) with some saws detuning. We recorded that in ableton and applied some distortion to fatten then resampled to put in the sampler.

Really great video! Thanks for the upload! Will I be able to see the Sanctuary ep songs on stems or Track Deconstruction in the future? (It would be difficult since it was released 7 years ago and is a collaborative album.)

Shrug

Would love to know the specs on your computer to run ALL that without crashing lol

ibdnbl

This is awesome... Sick project! Quick question: you guys didn't use stereo panning in this track, any other reasons on that?

Ground Unit

Yeah! More of this stuff - this is great! :D

TJ Ghinder

You guys are brilliant! There's too much I want to say about this video--thanks for the breakdown.

Eric Camarillo

thank you for this video!! i'd love to see Hydroplane or Drift :)

Jimmy Blythe

It seems you two do a lot of filter & volume automation. Are you doing these all by hand or using some sort of midi controller to play in the movement at times?

MACHINA

My mind was blown away when I saw that Bass Rack with the automations.

Edwin Kwok

Amazing deconstruction! clear and detailed! I would recommend giving some section playback preview at the beginning when jumping to different musical sections like drums to ambient sections for a clear contrast!

Mike

Would absolutely love a Virtual Light breakdown at some point in the future. That one is pure ear candy.

Stuart Anthony

Would be really cool to see how you guys go about making drums groove so well. Songs like infinite funk and chilli daddy have so much bounce with all the little ghost notes and cut up breaks, would be interesting how you arrange drums like this!

DB

super helpful, thanks for this!

rafael

It would be epic to have a breakdown of 7th dimension or sly fox

BOLUS

agreed, Cobalt is insane

Aqua

Thank you for deconstructing this.. My favorite track to date to Flow and vibe too.

Garrett Davenport

If this is "not to many tracks" or "less is more", I can't even imagine what a project that you would say has a lot going on looks like.

Andy Pletch

bro what are the specs on that computer lmao

Jas McHugh

The bass fx chain is one of the most insane I have ever seen 😵‍💫
