Came back to this video to try out your resampling technique using Amigo now that 2.0 is live. For anyone using Ableton: I highly recommend the Slink LFO and Slink Filter max 4 live devices. They're very powerful for quickly generating automation movements by mapping the LFO slots to various values of Amigo as well as any FX plugins you put in the chain. Because they're based on multiplying sine waves, you can get a sweet spot between randomness and repetition I think sounds more human than pure random automation. If you place the slink filter before whatever delay fx you're using, it'll produce alien Krell style sounds by controlling what part of the frequency is delayed. Much love.
I agree, the option for stereo or even choosing L/R would be a amazing in a future update. It's probably the only thing left to add after this next update! :)
Happy you found it useful mate. Yea its such an easy/fun technique to setup but provides amazing results, especially when you start swapping around the source sample. 😊
Appreciate you bro :) Just steadily levelling up is the name of the game. Once you understand music production you can transfer those skills to lots of places like editing and animations which all work in a similar way ✌️😊
Yea its a cool one. The best part is you can just change up the arp patch or notes and get completely different results once you have the preset sorted with the reverb & FX.
This is a brilliant video!!! I would honestly love to see another one similar to this. I remember I was searching for tips on how to make lush pads and so many videos were sending me to buy some expensive plugins or use some expensive DAW for their effects, so at some point I decided to follow one of them, but I just copied the technique. I took a basic mono saw wave and wanted to see how far I can get with just effects and it's crazy how much you can do with layering, resampling and even stock basic effects if you just keep repeating the process. I think if you can make lush sounds with even more basic sounds you would inspire even more people. Thanks for this.
Thanks mate :) Yea there's a lot of more complicated techniques out there but achieving great results simply is often the best way to go. Another technique I love is layering multiple pad samples together which could be a great one for future vids. Big ups 😊✌️
Awesome video! Hope to see more Renoise stuff too. I’ve been finding a lot of motivation in combining modulators for instruments, like LFO + AHDSR envelopes and see how that sounds on a wicked driven filter, little stuff like that. Love the channel!
Thanks Ninjilla! Yea defs more Renoise stuff on the way. I love doing that too. One of my favourite tricks is an LFO on Amp decay on things like hi-hats. Just to change the way they ring out. Amazing on filters & Sample rate reduction like you said. Big ups dude :) ✌️
I agree! You get such unique sounding FX for the amount of effort needed. It's mostly just about trial and error and playing around rather than tweaking synth parameters which is boring af! :)
Awesome work as always man! And while the animations and all that certainly look cool, I can only imagine the work that goes in to them. So I wouldn't be feeling bad about dropping the amount of effort on that side of things if it meant more time for the music-making side of things! On the flip-side, if it's something you enjoy doing (and of course it's a bit of a USP for your channel at this point), I can see how it might be nice to break out into other creative areas other than just the music making. Keep up the great work!
Cheers Mick - yea for sure, I've just been trying to find the right balance with everything. I will always add little things here and there and keep the edits nice a clean but sometimes I get a bit carried away with it all! I've got plans for a super polished music course i've been working on for a while, also thinking about setting up a gaming focused UA-cam channel to run alongside this one as it's such a big market. Even though I don't really play much anymore I have lots of ideas for cool animated video's in that world. I love the music & working on this channel but its very niche so just trying to put it all together really & build a steady career from it all. ✌️😊
@@groovining Cool! Looking forward to see what comes of the plans for the music course, I'd absolutely be interested in that! I can also imagine that as this becomes more and more of a job, the creative joy around making music could be tricky to sustain so I can absolutely see the desire to branch out into other creative areas too. Keep up the awesome work man, I can always rely on this channel to provide some awesome material!
Thanks about the channel! Great to hear you'd be interested in the course, it will probably be a few months still as it's one of those things I really want to nail. Yea for sure, I think we all struggle with creative energy from time to time especially in a process like making music & UA-cam vids. Interestingly, I actually love the creative stage of the projects & doing the productions, ideas and themes etc. Just the bringing it all to life part where you sometimes get a bit stuck in the mud! I think a lot of things are like that really :)
I use a similar technique but I keep it more basic by just using Stargazer with Amigo on Renoise, it morphs and sounds different at each bar. If I was that invested I would probably get something like a Strymon bluesky.
The Strymon Bluesky sounds amazing and I think there is a VST version but its pretty $$$. Valhalla Shimmer, Supermassive & Air Windows Galatic are all amazing and pretty similar. I still need to check out Stargazer! :)
@@groovining That's a shame, by now we would think plugins would support both platforms. People like to use these shimmering FX for guitars but to me they sound better with 8bit Amiga Paula samples :)
Resampling is crucial. Valhalla FreqEcho can be nice for things like this as well, turning the knob & recording the output makes for great creative FX. I want to try this Amigo technique with FreqEcho & see what happens.
Great idea! I love Valhalla Freq Echo also. Amazing on drum hits with the technique like you said. Another cool one is doing it with a space echo emulation like the Arturia Tape-201. Anything that manipulates the pitch with some looping action can give crazy results. ✌️🚀
Coming very soon! Yes a course is something i've been wanting to put out for ages. I've done scripts for it in the past but never quite nailed the idea. I just wanted it to be super polished and high level so its on the back burner but is a great idea for my channel :)
Nice one, you are Spot on in 90s smooth Ambient Jungle. But what about the dark side of 90s Jungle? Yes you show your swordstyle before with Paradox, Photek ans Source Direct. Now its Time for the next Chambers. Go the path of the venom and Show us your Hokusai and No U Turn skills. Good luck young Shaolin.

Some good tips in there, looking forward to the new Amigo update dropping!
Coming very soon! :)
Wish amigo could do stereo. It has really nice tools for beat chopping and mangling. Great vid!
I agree, the option for stereo or even choosing L/R would be a amazing in a future update. It's probably the only thing left to add after this next update! :)
huge fan of your work man keep it up!
Nice tunes bro! Love that jazzy, laidback hip-hop style ;)
Keep the oldskool/rave jungle vibe alive! Thank you for your work. Inspiring so much. 🎉❤ Cheers from Prague.
Hey thanks mate! I love Prague :) Went there when I was 16 with some friends and had a blast. ❤️😊
Dude!! I had never thought of that technique for making fx, so useful, thank you!
Happy you found it useful mate. Yea its such an easy/fun technique to setup but provides amazing results, especially when you start swapping around the source sample. 😊
Yeah man 😄 supermassive is a must. Such a great plugin
Supermassive is fire. Love when companies give you amazing free plugs like that. 😊🚀
Bro at this point I can’t tell which you’re better at, the videos or the music! Both are JAW dropping! 😮🎉
Appreciate you bro :) Just steadily levelling up is the name of the game. Once you understand music production you can transfer those skills to lots of places like editing and animations which all work in a similar way ✌️😊
Super interesting approach to create a pad! I dig it! 🙂
Thanks dude! Was fun being creative with all these free plugins. No that too complex to get a good sound going also :)
Really looking forward to all your future content ✌️
Cheers Flux - thanks for all the comments - I'm excited too! :)
@@groovining You're welcome. It's Scotty btw 👊
I love the arp to pad trick. So sick
Yea its a cool one. The best part is you can just change up the arp patch or notes and get completely different results once you have the preset sorted with the reverb & FX.
@@groovining and then play the resampled patch up and down the piano roll in parallel harmony
@@Flux_One yea exactly! resample that and load it into amigo or another sampler and play around. Add more filters etc
dawg u always make the best tutorials right when i need them thank you
Thanks friend! Glad you've been enjoying the vids so much ❤️ :)
@@grooviningis this song out?
Still have a couple of mixing things to work on with this one but soon :)
@@groovining looking forward to it
Those chords sound exactly like the start of "all I wanna do" by Sheryl Crow !

Haha yes they do! Bit more glide and there literally the same 😂

want that amigo update! Thanks for the video, I wonder if you've considered formalizing your approach and workflow into a course?

Any tips for getting the pitchwheel working with Amigo ?
I have a simple arturia keystep and I cant get the pitch happening
kind of worked it out i think but pretty unstable. all good cheers and great video
@@ASCHzzz Try tweaking the amount the pitch wheel effects pitch. (in the bottom right corner in AMIGO 2.0)
