WHAT. THE. ACTUAL. F--K XLN Audio?!! That's Crazy Town. I really liked this demo, but maaaaan, thank you @thebookofeli9758 for relaying this very important bit of info. YIIIIIIIIIKES
@@eyeque7 Look at it this way: You're paying a company money to TAKE your original audio samples and/or music and give it to other producers - who will also pay XLN money for your music and for the company to take theirs. If that doesn't bother you, then I'd say: go for it
For some reasons I can't load recorded sounds inside my Ableton session, it says "seems not to be an audio file" even tho it's WAV, FLAC or MP3, that makes no sens. Is there any trick to bypass the error message?
thanks for the review/tutorial. I think this plugin is great not only because of the musical/technical capabilities but also because of how meaningful it is for a musician to add a piece of your daily life into your music so easily!
This off da planet,…. Teddy Riley would demolish this into a new Genre. I picked this up on the weekend, been putting my tracks and and old breaks through it 👾🔉🔊🔊💥
Looks really good but wish it was released as an upgrade to XLN's XO instead of a separate product. Feels like it is similar enough to XO to do that... I think that if they had done that (at a lower price - upgrade price vs new plugin price) there would be even more excitement around this, and they probably would sell even more copies...
Was happy to find this plug-in. Was happier to see that you had reviewed it. OneNote: don't creep on the clippers. I've used them a few times and one time I just waved it around the microphone and threw OVOX created kind of a harmonium kind of sound. There's a lot you can do with it. Plus you can add things onto the clippers to have the clippers resonate them and create a really lush sound almost like a synth.
Yup, can drag audio in or use their companion plugin that comes with it. They call it DAW recorder. Put it on any track or the master and record the audio playing in the DAW
You can but the issue is that it has to upload it to the cloud. It's not accessing it from your hard drive. The only person that has mentioned this is Polarity Music. Everyone else who's reviewing aren't mentioning that.
VSB you are great. I like that you had fun and explored that buzzer and your voice saying HEY so we could hear it, but then quickly zeroed in on more useful percussive sounds. Great demonstration.
@@Verysickbeatsjust mean that it’s not really something you would use to make finished beats with. Fun to play around with but I can’t see it being used as a polished production tool.

This is what Michael Jackson was talking about!!

Cool but I’d rather use Ableton 12 stock simpler slice mode and generate a pattern with the new midi tools

This is fire 200% thanks for sharing the knowledge....

Hi good pres but you do not have to stop everytime you will randomize or chnage something in Life. Just change and it will follow. Thanks !
appreciate it
Can export to midi
yep
Only thing is Weaver UA-camr showed their crazy terms and conditions that you are approving their use of your work to create derivatives
right, not particularly a fan of that
Can you import your own samples via your daw so you dont have to use your phone ect?
On another video I saw them just drag the audio file in

yes but it will be from the cloud
That clipper sound effect is 🔥. I actually want to sample clippers now.
have fun
Just trialed it. And I did the same big grinning face that you did. This plugin is so much fun 😁
lol
VSB you are great. I like that you had fun and explored that buzzer and your voice saying HEY so we could hear it, but then quickly zeroed in on more useful percussive sounds. Great demonstration.
Thanks for that!
It even slices to separate tracks in your daw. This shit is one of the best plugins I ever seen
thanks for feedback
Fun but pretty useless

When you sending loops to the cloud you know what's happening? This loops are not yours anymore.
that's why i won't use my own loops LOL
they are yours. Many people thought the same but the guys from XLN Audio clarified it.
@@HumanBeingWithFeelings I don't see any change in their TOS.

looks like XO with a phone sampler...

You should know that it’s cloud based plugin! So you have to be prepared for limit or subscription
good point, i'd just delete after im done to save space lol
Totally useless for me, I don’t and won’t use samples. This means more non musicians can create more crap like we need more.
