🙏 Learned quite a bit from this

Jas McHugh

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

Andy Pletch

bro what are the specs on that computer lmao

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.

Poelyte

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

BOLUS

agreed, Cobalt is insane

rafael

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

DB

super helpful, thanks for this!

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!

Mike

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

KOAN Sound

Good idea, thanks!

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!

KOAN Sound

All by hand :)

MACHINA

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

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?

Eric Camarillo

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

Rem Atmos

I would also like to know lol

TJ Ghinder

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

Ground Unit

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

ibdnbl

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

Shrug

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

es

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.)

KOAN Sound

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.

Yip Kwan

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

Kimble

Shrug

So sick!! Much love fellas <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

Hoko

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

Glazork

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

Sanial McCormick

This to me stands out there at the top of everything that you guys have created. Thanks.

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?
