Hey man, thanks for this tip. I do a similar thing with the izotope exciter, however, sometimes it's a bit of a struggle using only the built-in izotope controls (multiband and blend). I never thought to run the distortion plugin in parallel and then use a favorite/trusted EQ to just micromanage the target frequency for the distortion with a parametric bump. So much more control. You may have just saved me some time in the future. So thanks.
There so much I learn from these videos! Thanks again, Kenny! You could continue this video showing us how to automatically automate the distortion based on the volume on the vocals, to simulate microphone clipping. This would be awesome!
I might have limited use for this specific application. But some of the simple things like containers and parallel processing are really useful for regular workflow. Also, use of built in fx just shows how much you can do without needing to resort to third party products.
Hey Kenny I was hoping you could do a tutorial on live triggering a track to play via input signal. In essence getting a vocal to play when I'm singing and not play when I'm not feeding the input!
Hi Kenny - Thank you for the video Can you tell us something about WHEN to use distortion please? What are the benefits and what are we looking for in in creating a distorted sound? Many thanks
Im no kenny but coming from Elect gtr background, typically distortion is used in a Peice of music to denote an Increase in emotional Intensity, increase in pressure, or compressed (not audioediting compression) like pressing a diamond. Attempt to create "stifiling" of a sound, somewhat irritating or angering a sound. It is used in small amounts in "lo fi" and quieter, relaxing sounds to create sense of emergence. Such as in this track, the distortion sounds great as the drums slowly pummel their way in and "take space" from the vocal, the distortion helps the timid vocal aggressively "fight gently back" The more distortion, the less gentle your track plays with the others
@@SunAndMirror Really nice description - I like "pressing a diamond". Thanks a lot- I will experiment with, as you say, emergence/ change of emotion etc. All the best iain
I don't know if I'd describe this as Multiband Distortion.. more like EQ'ed Parallel Distortion. Is there an elegant way of using Reaper fx containers as a crossover and distorting individual bands?
With the process used this could be used with any effect though I assume, I actually wanted to find something like this to add saturation just to the top end of drums.
This isn't multiband distortion as others have pointed out. It's filtered parallel distortion. You should do a real multiband distortion video and rename this misleading video title 👎
I usually set the UA-cam player to 1.5x speed. I suspect the slow pace is helpful for people whose first language isn't English. I wonder if the auto generated transcript might be clearer too. He's definitely doing it for a reason.
every single tutorial is showing us something new, thats awesome
Impressively!

The Gioia has spoken!
Awesome Video Kenny !!! LOVE THIS !!!
Containers look a very useful addition, excellently explained (as ever). Thankyou Kenny.
Haha that's a weird line "Now my face glows and it shines like glue"... ugh but tbf glue is usually shiny
This one is a killer tip.
I just tested on a weak voice and it saved the mix.
🙏
The more I hear the song the better I like it. Gives me a Bossa Nova vibe.

Informative vid again. Verry cool. Thanks.
Very cool technique!
SO GOOD!!!
GRAN INFORMACIÓN AMIGO
Thnx Kenny 👍🏼🎼🎶💙
I love You, Kenny!!
I've gotta try this for sure..
Thats a trippy effect on vocals. Ive done this for bass. The containers look like they streamline the process
Very interresting use of dist.

I have done this before but I just run a bus track in parallel with the vocal which is basically the same thing isn't it?
Yeah, it is the same. I have always done it like that but containers are a good way to do this and having less tracks to deal with
@@protokolonrecords5652 well you can hide the tracks easily enough by using the track manager.
thats awesome. did you come up with this method on your own?
It was inspired by my son but the method was by me.
How do you make the faders of your Reaper Plugins look like that? That is way better than the stock settings
I think it's because he's on a Mac not windows
Users friendly DAW ❤🎉
I'm so beautiful, without distortion. 😊
These thumbnails are a bit confusing 😅
I do my best.

The first video on this channel that I don't see any sense in.
Maybe technically interesting, but each example to me sounds horrible.
With the process used this could be used with any effect though I assume, I actually wanted to find something like this to add saturation just to the top end of drums.
Technically, It's adding a dry/wet control for chains of effects..But Reaper Provides such for Containers, anyway. Does it not?

ReaComp can be made into a waveshaper/clipper by setting attack release and RMS to zero.
Wonder if ReaXComp can do the same?
surely
I hate the small pauses in between sentences and the pitch up and down on many word it triggers me so much……

@@jakelondon I read elsewhere he speaks like this in his vids because he's naturally a fast talker.
@@jerk_store Makes sense. My only real point is that it's not an accident. He's clearly put a lot of thought into why he does it.
It "triggers" you? My goodness.
