I'm 100% self taught! I started using Ableton around 11 years ago so I'm very comfortable with it, but most of my learning about sound design and the more complex stuff was within the last 3 years. The main driving factor is every day I do a few short practice sessions specifically to try new things or test out concepts I've thought of, and doing that for long enough you kind of start to discover all these techniques on your own!

😭lmaoo the racks are in the description if you just want to mess around with them yourself sometimes easier to get a feel that way!

true true! I love how they have damping built in I haven't seen many other combs like that. Definitely the most intuitive one I've seen.

thank you!! i feel there's still so much unexplored with sound design it's just hard to find the new things haha

oh my god it's so useful there's so many times I'll have a sound and just like the low end is randomly to the side of something and it'll never sound centered unless you can spectrally pan lmaoo

@@2L3L Totally ! No more using Utility to shift some low end and wreck the rest of the stereo image, your trick is super cool

unfortunately this one can't be, it uses a decent amount of 3rd party vsts and like 7 vital instances which take like 80% of your cpu, its just not really actually usable past an experiment haha Id recommend just getting ample guitar m lite for your guitaring needs, it's sampled but is really nice and sounds better than this! thank you for the interest though :)

lmao thank you

lmaoooo thank you you can grab the racks in the description if you want to mess around with them yourself!

thank you!! words like that mean a lot :)

😔😔😔

I agree in hindsight yeah! If you have any specific questions let me know and I can answer here, and also the racks are downloadable in the description if you just want to mess around with them!

@@2L3L thank you so much

I've been calling the technique difference splitting personally!

yes, this is intended! the disabled chains have audio routing either from or to them already, so effects put on them will still come through the final output. i mainly have them laid out in that way so it's easy to access them :)

@@2L3L Thanks a mil!

ty djeb<3

this is true

😭😭indeed it is, although I cut out most of the idle parts and load times. a bit too fast in hindsight fs

thank you!!

thank you for the kind words!!

thank you! glad you enjoyed :) i try to mess around with a bunch of genres so I'm glad that pays off in some way haha

from your explanation here it sounds like that method would also make the clipped parts twice as loud (unless you are clipping the dry signal in both instances, in which case it's the same method as the second rack in this video) it's pretty close to what you said for the first rack, but it functionally subtracts the clipped part of the noise from the input wave, leading to no decrease in headroom, which is not possible otherwise. Not really a big difference though except for more technical uses haha

i agree for sure in hindsight, when I was editing even I was like damn I should've made the demos longer 😭 but I wasn't expecting this many people to see it so I just figured getting it out into the world was better than waiting haha the rack downloads are in the description though so feel free to mess around with the concept yourself, probably easier to get a hold of it that way!!

the signal you are running through the peakeater and the parallel phase inversion has to be the same! the operator having stuff on it wouldnt affect the drum groove at all if you have nothing on the drum groove

I will probably do something like that eventually!! for now I'm mainly focusing on music and am doing tutorials just when I get some extra time though so I can't make any promises haha

If you're just trying to go for like amplitude modulation this setup cannot do that, the closest thing is the bit in the texture section of the video. it depends on what you want the effect to sound like though! without smoothing the modulation would create new harmonics in the sound and thus the sounds would have to be fairly simple to prevent things from being super chaotic (like how those ring mod tricks pretty much only work with basic wave shapes). If you want it over a longer timescale id recommended MAGC from Melda which matches the gain of the input to the sidechain signal (you can also add this into the difference splitting racks if you want different effects on bits further from the initial volume!

@@2L3L damn! that's too bad. I really want to believe it's possible 😭 I'll definitely check out MAGC, I've tried using MRingMod for this before but never heard of this one. If you're not familiar with this FLVTTER thing btw it's a really sick alternative to traditional sidechain where it sounds like it's "subtracting" your kick/snare from the carrier signal (sounds like clipping) without adding any new frequencies at all - definitely going beyond basic wave shapes. I've been able to recreate it with Bitwig's 'Audio Rate Modulator' with rectification turned on, but not in Ableton quite yet. maybe someday 🤷🏼‍♂️

i do know flvtter yeah! it does not actually really go beyond basic wave shapes, as in a harmonically dense modulator signal will still cause weirdness to occur (much less so than ring modulation though), and is pretty much just amplitude modulation. I don't know the exact internals but I'd imagine it uses some kind of wave shaping on the modulator signal to make the carrier signal get more or less focused in the zero crossings of the modulator wave. In Ableton it would be pretty basic to make a similar effect within Max for Live, I imagine for the basic effect you'd just have to take the absolute value of the modulator wave and then multiply it by -1 and add 1 to invert it, and then use that signal multiplied with the carrier to get the fluttering effect. then as I mentioned before, wave shaping the modulator could help focus if more

@@2L3L I might have to test that explanation with the plugin to see how the carrier signal reacts to a modulator playing high frequencies vs low ones. the way I understood it was it takes the modulator and completely rectifies it, creating a unipolar signal which can then be used as AM on the carrier - at least this was how I was able to recreate the effect with Bitwig. my goal rn is to do this without Max or 3rd party plugins for maximum control and for my own understanding. that and because Max is such a big buggy rabbit hole on its own I'm not ready to go there yet lol anyways thanks for your help 🙏🏻 excited to see whatever's next from your channel

thank you! and yes, I also think the same thing as you, the absolute value I mentioned is the same thing as wave rectification Max for live is actually fairly stable although it can definitely occasionally have some bugs. for well optimized patches at least haha the stock ableton lfo and stuff are a bit bloated because of backwards compatibility and stuff I think. but yeah the only piece I wouldn't know how to do stock without even the stock m4l devices is the amplitude modulation itself

what do you mean, like splitting audio clips or something ?? glad you enjoyed the vid :)

I stopped doing those bc at this point there's too many tracks (around 280 i think? forget the exact amount and how many there were before consolidation) 😭 and also I've really gotten into freezing and flattening things more so pretty much none of the plugin chains and stuff are left. but mainly I wanted to be able to include art with it as well!

thank you so much!!! 21 years is crazy you probably have some tricks I don't know about as well haha but yeah true, the longer i make music and do processing and stuff the more I realize there's an infinite amount to learn and there's always massive new things to discover
