haven't been watching my youtube comments lately and I've noticed there are a lot of questions from all of you guys. The most asked one is if I can upload the file. The only problem is I don't know any good sites to upload this kind of file for sharing. If you could suggest one, I'll put it up.
Now to answer some questions
theaffairchris: any way to upload the presets for the leads?
It's the same situation as the Ableton project file. I don't know of any sites I could upload a set of small files to for public download. If you have any suggestions (that are simple and won't take too long) then shoot me a comment.
FreshMacOfficial: how do u make that woobly sound in the lead?
The wobble is made using Massive's LFO envelopes and assigning it to both the pitch bend and the amp on each of the 3 oscillators.
LFO5 (sine wave) is attached to all 3 oscillators' pitch controls with a value of 1. This means that as it reaches the peak and trough of the sine wave, the note will transpose 1 semitone. Make sure that the LFO ratio is set to 1:16, this means it will oscillate once every 1/16th note.
LFO6 (sine wave) is attached to all 3 oscillators' amp controls. This was pushed up to maximum effect (by click and dragging the '6' under the amp). Some remakes I've seen have only an amplitude wobble on their lead, which doesn't sound right. This is also set at 1:16 ratio.
Now we have to set the LFO amps to only come on during that sustained note. In the screenshot, I've got both LFO amp dials controlled via Ableton's session envelopes. You can bring these up by dragging the amp dial in the LFO you want to map and it will pop up under the 'Lead' tab as an envelopable variable (making up words now!). I had a tweak around and found these settings to be the most accurate.
NB: This is only one way to recreate this sound, but it is the way I went about it.
RMattWindsor: what pads did you use ?
I used a preset in Sylenth1 from a pack I bought off soundstosample.com - It was called Samplestar Progressive House Presets. I don't remember if I tweaked it at all, but it was PAD09 from the list. It also has an Amp, LPF and Saturator on it.
ironyouth78: this is dope man, how long you been using ableton?
About a year on and off (mainly off due to frustration)

SondreAlv: Really nice remake man! Just wondering if u can give me any tips on arpeggio? Yours sounds really good! How do you do it?
If you mean how I recreated from ear: I seperate the arpeggio I hear into seperate partsThere's a repeated note every 2 notes (A2 in this case); so that's easy enough to locate and write. After that, block out the sound of those notes in your mind and try to identify the rest of the pattern. The rest are a sequence which travels down the scale: E3, C#3, B2 for the first 2 iterations, then C#3, G#2 for the last 2. Combine the 2 patterns together and you get your arpeggio.
It should come out as: [E3, A2, C#3, A2, B2, A2, E3, A2, C#3, A2, B2, A2, C#3, A2, G#2, A2]

If that wasn't what you meant by your question... you'll have to ask Avicii or Nicky Romero :P
