Was just searching the comments because I wanted to post the same thing.. Mega Scope is very expensive.. but Psyscope works really well and is free, or 29 pounds for pro version.
♥️♥️ thanks!! Absolutely…and the program is a bit more personalized. I’ll literally be going through your projects with you in a one on one so we can plug your specific holes! We help each student with their specifics needs 💪
@@TheCosmicAcademy That’s awesome. Yeah, I just sent in my information. Hopefully we can get on a call one of these days. I definitely would like a 2nd ear to see where I need to improve.
Safe to assume that when it overlaps the two waveforms, it's not summing them and showing the phasing. I like to use LFO tool on my kick/sub bus to see what the summed net effect is. Assuming there IS SOME overlap.
I got a question!!🤔if the kick and bass always been avoided clashing by sidechain kind of waveshaper. so why we need eq dip overtone, need saturator to produce harmonics for subtracting the clashing in low frequencies or use transient expander to amplify high frequancy to reduce the low phase cancellation.
@@TheCosmicAcademy Actually I was always checking visually by resampling the bass and the kick ahah Otherwise, I know something called multianalyzer which is max4live plugin. And if I’m not mistaken melda plugins have something similar, but the one you show looks way better 😁
Hey, great tutorial I had to go and cop this plug in! But when I loaded it my display is completely different, toggles on the bottom and also no button to combine two waveforms together.. is this a certain preset or update to get the display i'm seeing with yours?
Thanks! Look towards the top of the plugin…it probably says “combined”. If you click that you can change it to “separated” and then you will see them on different channels!
Yeah, cool tutorial. Thank you for this. Would be great when you could name all the 3rd party plugins you are using in this video and write it here in the comments. I have never heard about this plugins and I can't really understand what plugins you are using . Thank you in advance....! Cheers from Cologne...!
It's not a hard "yes" or "no" tbh because this can vary dependent on what you're making. If you're making a track with a fat kick (lot of low end) you probably would want little to no overlap. If theres a kick that isn't so "subby" the overlap might be okay because its not competing for the exact same frequency space. So its a tough question to answer!! There are times where it could be fine/not fine. Combining a sub with this technique is the ideal circumstance. Eye balls cant "feel" how they interact with each other.
@@TheCosmicAcademy very true..... it was my understanding that it is optimal to have the volume of the sub increase as the kick volume is decreasing to keep the overall energy of the sub frequencies relatively constant....... but i guess this all comes down to taste!
@@TheCosmicAcademy like isnt it ok for the kick sub and bass sub to be competing as long as the sum of the two is not phasing and they add up to not clip/distort
@@grantgibbs4803 in theory if they are in phase, and not clipping when combined, then yes, that would be fine. However, one problem is they'll probably be out of phase at points of your track unless your baseline is just one single pitch/frequency the whole way through (borrrrring).
Title says "all genres". Not all genres do what your kick and sub are doing, so what happens with other genres where the kick and sub start on the same beat?
What genre does that? Really you should never have the sub bass overlapping the kick. Both the kick and sub bass provide the sub frequency’s and you should only have one element providing the sub frequencies at a time. I have a feeling you might be referring to 808’s. An 808 is essentially a long kick drum that fills the space were both ur kick and sub should go,
@naughtyducky6325 tons of genres do that. Hip hop, breakbeat, d&b, dubstep, reggae and pretty much most genres that aren't 4 to the floor repetitive stuff.
@@mattcocanna8904 The actual sub bass sound doesn’t start at the same time. The midi for the sub might start at the same time as the kick but you’d want the sub ducking away at this stage. The same method in the video applies when ever the kick is triggered you duck the sub bass doesn’t need to be 4 to the floor. He’s using shaperbox to duck the sub. You’d need to put shaperbox into sidechain mode and have it trigger when ever your kick plays. You can also do this with any compressor capable of sidechain triggering. If you don’t have either you could also just use volume automation on the sub bass to duck the sub out the way of the kick
Kick and sub starting on the same beat is kind of why sidechain exists because the 2 share the same frequencies. As said the sub is to be ducked out the way as millions of sons have a sub and kick on the same beat but you'll never hear it presented like that because it's been ducked otherwise it would sound like a mess.
You completely missed the point. He’s talking about the scope plugin and being able to see what the side chaining is actually doing, in conjunction. This dude gives out free knowledge don’t be an asshole.

Just found your channel and I'm hooked. Thx 🤘
Wow! Another thing I need to learn now, so much detail to music production
♥️♥️ haha it’s endless!! I love production because of it…always something new to learn!!
The fact that content like this is free blows my mind; *thank you* for the insight!! 🔥
😍😍thank YOU for the kind words, kind sir
Another good choice about oscilloscopes is PSYSCOPE.
You can see 3 different tracks ate the same time on free version and do the same job.
Great addition!! Thanks Marcelo!

Only Win, though. Another free one called occularScope is for Mac as well. Maybe lighter in features but allows for at least one sidechain input.
Zack is the OG. love these tips. Game changer 🙌🏻
Happy it helps!! Got plenty more coming too 🙂
great video! thank you! can't you also use the oscilloscope in shaperbox?
So stoked for this videos!!
lets gooo!!!
This is *A+++* content...but I'm a bit biased ;)
hehe
In full agreement with your A+++ grade
I’m assuming you teach this plus more in the program? This is crazy! 💯🐐

Thanks for the video - already use the plugin. Now you only need to Clip your Kick :)
😂♥️♥️
loved it! definitely gonna grab that plug in
Plugin is super clutch!! Really helps with low end!
Visual mixing is the way to go. This plugin paired with Span and you`re golden!
YES!! A formula for success!
Thank You Zack!! This is a game changer!
You're very welcome!! ❤
Best channel on this platform for amazing advice
😍 thank YOU!
sick plug-in! a lot better than resampling
Your a wizard Zack. Thanks for the amazing video 🙏
Hahaha ❤ thanks Brent! Got a lot more coming!
This is massive guys! I’m definitely going to use this myself
Yessss!! happy this one helped! ❤
This is amazing. I’m buying this plug in asap.
hahaha happy this helped! ❤
Zack you're a legend bro. 🙏
❤❤❤ Hahaha far from it, but thank you and hope this one helped!
Excited for these vids!
so are we!! we've got some good ones coming!!
preach🙏 this is next level, thanks!
happy it helps!!
Thanks for the video!
Having so many problems with thw LowEnd, definitely will try this!
Looking forward to more videos from you :)
Hoping this helps you solve it!! ❤❤ We've got a lot more ready to go...excited to share em with you!
@@TheCosmicAcademy would love something about phasing issues in (lower)mids and in stereo field in general :)

Quality stuff right here
❤❤❤❤
Love cosmic academy content! 🙌
Lets gooooo!!!❤❤

Amazing! I need this oscilloscope!
Game changer! I used different stuff but this plugin is indeed super usefull!
❤️ what plugins do you use?! Share the knowledge!! haha

This is so cool! Kick and sub are everything, really great video!
yesssss, another way to help make em fit!!
This is amazing!!! I’m gonna start doing this right away!
Lets gooooo! Happy it helped ❤
Awesome tip!!
I know you have been in Ableton for a while ZE, but it still trips me out to not see you in Logic. :) Great video!
hahahaha i still feel a lil weird in ableton! 😂
Wonderful! Love it 🔥
Thanks Martin!! We've got a lot more coming too...excited to show everyone!
Wow great tutorial !!
Thank you!!
Man this is really cool! Might have to invest in the Vst! I feel like it could save so much time & help me tighten up my mixes. Thanks Zack! 🤘🏽
This also works with LFO Tool if you have that 😉
do you do this EVERY time?
Looks decent, can se the benefit, thanks for the clear succinct content
Thanks! ❤
I was used to do manually but this is sick! thanks for the tutorial!!
Sickkkk happy it helps!! ❤
Amazing!!! 🔥🔥💯💯
Thanks! Hope it helps!!❤
woah what kick is that!!!

what about the long sustain one note for example Long note F, when it hits every kick it changes a phase even when randomness is to 0 in serum
This is neat
Mega Scope stocks after this fire video going UP
hahahaha!! as it should - an awesome plugin!
Thanks Zack!! Damn I gotta get Mega Scope lol
A convenient plugin haha not essential but def has its perks
Can't you just do this with Nicky Romery Kickstart 2?
nice one thanks, more vids coming?
Thanks...and yes, LOTS MORE coming! We are going to be consistently posting on YT now so be sure to check back!
Yeah, cool tutorial. Thank you for this. Would be great when you could name all the 3rd party plugins you are using in this video and write it here in the comments.

It's called "Megascope"...happy this helped! ♥
MegaZack Rules!!!
hahahaha 😂❤️
is this what kick start 2 does
Cool!
I would love to be apart of the academy, even working a full time job id would love to learn from you guys
what if i dont produce music when the kick is 4x4
Nicky Romero kickstarter combines the wave shaper and the visualizer all in one plugin.
So beautiful.. ❤
hope it helped!!!❤
day one gang💜
lets goooooo!!!
My mid bass clashes with the chords alot hot to fix that
Dont we want a little overlap?
