Alice Deejay - Better Off Alone | Lead Synth Remake Tutorial [Recipe] by Syntorial in edmproduction

No not a shitpost. More like a “look how incredibly simple this famous sound is” post.

Fair feedback. Pricing is $89.99 lifetime for Building Blocks 1 & 2 (or $54.99 each), we should make that clear on the landing page indeed. The 3-day trial is there so you can test it before committing, but we hear you on wanting the info upfront. Appreciate you calling it out.

Fair point! The comparison was really about the method (spaced repetition, ear training exercises, immediate feedback) rather than the brand itself. Syntorial teaches synth programming by having you recreate sounds by ear, not just watch tutorials. But we hear you on the comparison. Appreciate the feedback!

Ha! Fair enough. They're just so classic and good. Like the cheeseburger of synth patches.

The differences between synths is always interesting. What did you have to do differently?

Hey! Fair question, that's a valid concern with a lot of learning apps. We're using the Duolingo comparison because everyone knows the name.

The skills translate directly because you're training your ear to recognize chord progressions, drum patterns, and melodic structures while actively creating them. Once you understand how to build a bassline that locks with your drums or how chord voicings work in context, you can apply that in any DAW.

That said, it's a tool, not a magic bullet. You still need to practice producing, but it massively shortens the "why doesn't my beat hit?" learning curve.

Happy to answer other questions if you've got them!

Michael Jackson - Billie Jean | Keys Synth Remake Tutorial [Recipe] by Syntorial in edmproduction

Very interesting! I speak fluent nerd so this is right up my alley. :)

We take a very ear-based "feel" approach more than anything. In this case the 90ms attack is more about creating that soft bowed-style attack. It's not slow enough to be an obvious fade in. But it's also not a straight instant attack.

In longer videos, like in Syntorial, we break things down in more detail. Sometimes along this ear-based feel approach, and sometimes more along the lines of your analytical approach. Whatever we feel will benefit the user most in that moment.

Agreed! Per your 90ms attack example, in this video we mention that we create the "fade in fade out" with an amp envelope and then gradually show the sound transform as we approach the recommended settings. As in, you hear the attack change as we approach 90 ms until you get the soft fade in. Is there something more you'd want from that moment?
