40 Sounds Every Producer Should Know (HOW TO RECOGNIZE ANY SOUND FROM ANY SONG)

To all of us beginners thank you Austin 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

The Korg M1 is the synth. Perc Organ is the preset inside the Korg M1.

Small detail, xylophone is wooden, not metal :) Glockenspiel is metal.
Great video.

Triangle waves = Nintendo bass also

This should be required viewing for anybody starting out in music production

DX7 piano is sometimes called FM piano, since the Yamaha DX7 used FM synthesis, and not all FM keyboards were made by Yamaha. So look for that on your plugin if you can't find DX7.

MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS!!! This is EXACTLY WHAT EVERY NEW PRODUCER NEEDS!!

Damn, finally. The title is exactly what I was having trouble with. Naming any sound really. I'm gonna save this vid and watch it every now and then to memorize all of this.

A professional keyboard player also helps!

If an alien comes down to earth tomorrow and asks me what a piano sounds like, I'll be sure to point him to this video

I would like to point out that organs, especially of the Hammond variety are very percussive in nature. Otherwise, well done!

Great work Austin - as a full-time producer I can honestly say this was also an excellent refresher of how to approach sounds - I feel like it took me years and many sessions to learn all of this so you're doing a great service here!!

this is so great to have, thank you. would LOVE a follow-up of additional instruments/sounds (drums, horns, instruments from other countries)

Great video I didn’t know I needed ;) well done mate

Unfortunately, this video will go over most peoples heads, sometimes just knowing the fundamentals can take you a long way

Nope.
Most of these sounds are not sound which "every" producer should know

Wow Amazing!

You're starting to look like BISHU

you rock bro thanks!

If I had a channel called "Write Best Selling Novels", and then my video was: "Here are 26 letters every writer should know"... and you assume that people looking to write a best selling novel have already learned their ABCs... You'd be confused about the whole situation, too.

The exact important thing to start 💗💯🔥⚡🌊

Wonderfully entertaining presentation as well. Very educational too of course.

This is BRILLIANT and such a great tool and reference. Thank you for this.

Absolute gem of a video. Thank you so much! 💛🙏🏽

Dudes, no one thinks this guy looks like Bishu??

And who is the D-50🥲🥲

Very cool man - never really heard a breakdown of kinds of synths, thanks!

Thanks for this; great resource. Do I get to claim grandparent status if I have an upright in my livingroom? 👀

Great content, but what vsts are you using for those real instrument sounds? Eg keyboards, Kalimba, bass guitar, etc.??

you are a king

I'm starting on a new project tomorrow morning - in studio at 9am. The track is a ballad as in Bad Wolves ZOMBIES, Disturbeds, Sound of Silence. Male vocals - is there a tip you have to get that deep warm but still crisp vocal (besides a great vocalist :) ? The date on these sessions is week of Oct 24 - 30th 2024 in case you're reading this in July of 2025. Any suggestions or ideas for a new song like this to be current in 2024/2025.

Would love to see a full synthesis video. Nice video 🤙

"It's called 'this', it sounds like 'that' ".

It's as straightforward as you can get it.

Yet it's the first video I see that does it.

Congrats , and thank you !!

Great video! However, my dog hated all the synth sounds - at synth leads he just got up and left the room...🤣

The eyes give it away.

I found the synth shapes super helpful! Thank you MPM!

Maybe something like this about drums? 😊

Thank you so much! You’re making amazing work. For me it’s super huge information

This was mad helpful, especially for someone wanting to do multiple genres!!

Amazing as always. Love your new cut btw

💚

Thanks for the great video!! Good idea to have this palette in mind while producing. I think you could replace xylophone with vibraphone, cause marimba and xylophone are quite similar wooden instruments, while vibraphone is metallic and has a recognizable jazzy sound, softer than glockenspiel. Also, ukulele would be a great add to the stringed instruments.

I haven’t watched it yet but if the moog bass, the memorium bells and the lotus flute from omnisphere are not included i will be utterly disappointed 😂

Nice!❤

Great tutorial! Wish I came across it five years ago
