    2:30 Rather than choose the compressor model that suits the instrument (which is hard when you haven't heard it working yet!)...I've found it quite useful to work with what some people the 'vanilla' compressor that comes up as default when we open the plug-in. In this case, the Platinum Digital. Once I'd done my work getting all the parameters to suit the instrument and the part THEN I selected each of the other model options to the right of the Platinum Digital and listened to each in turn, watching the meters for any peaking that a different model might 'cause' at the settings I've made. I actually found that order of play more fun and revealing! :)

    Why do you say it’s “ mimicking” an LFO? I don’t see a software LFO as any less real than a hardware LFO. At the end of the day it’s changing the flow of electrons.

    How do you do it so when the chord changes it isn’t a sudden attack on the the notes that are sounding?

    • @GoMakeMusic
      @GoMakeMusic 8 місяців тому

      If I am understanding you correctly....the main thing is designing or choosing sounds with the write time of decay and release. Also if you are using a monophonic sound (meaning only one key will play at a time) then that can cause issues when moving between sounds. Lastly, setting up a mod wheel to make the notes "disappear" in volume can be helpful in making chord transitions that do not clash. Not sure I answered the question but let me know if that helped! : )

    That's a good tip, I didn't realize the step sequencer had drawable LFO curves. Also a fun hack: you can also use the MIDI LFO tool on audio by routing the audio to a bus and from the bus to a Quick Sampler instrument track in Monitor mode - that way, it treats the instrument track as a MIDI instrument. That gives you a lot of the Xfer plugin's capabilities.

    Huh? Why al that trouble making 1 mix bus instead of using the stereo output? It feels like double up like an extra cable for nothing. Btw I wish u had gone deeper on the topic from 8’,20 with examples on ur own track like how u want some elements to sound crispy as the reference track among other stuffs u mentioned

    • @darioserrato4971
      @darioserrato4971 Рік тому

      The problem with this is, when you use master effects on your main output channel (Which obviously you do), the reference track also gets sent to that master track and the effects you use for your own mix also affect the reference track. The reference track should be sent to an effectless bus, and everything else should be sent to a different bus that has the effects loaded up, and finally those two new buses (and those only) should be routed to your effectless main outs.
