    what the fuck just happened 2k view in 2 days like that? youtube algo is kinda fun. anyway, i hope this is going to be useful, if you expand on the idea and make something cool feel free to send a message on discord @mleuc

      It happened to my videos too. The algorithm just knows when something will have high viewer retention. Definitely follow up with more similar videos.

      ​@@SiliconPrairie that's what i'm doing rn by coincidence but i dont care much ngl, wont jump on that. i prefer slow but solide growth over instant stuff that pigeonhole you into one thing, esp since i have no plan on investing much time on making videos. It does is informative about what works or not if ever needed one day tho!

    This is an excellent tool. Something you should note are the possibilities of a bass-high exciter: if you isolate JUST the signal coming out of the linear EQ, you can boost the bass and the highs (low shelf/high shelf basically) and the intermodulation from the bass in the signal will make the highs "ripple". You can increase the amount of bass or highs in the exciter to accentuate this effect to perfection. Despite being quite quiet in isolation, this trick adds enormous perceived mass to any master bus, without really changing the bass, mids, or highs in any destructive way.

      I tried this out, and it sounds pretty cool! Can you explain what you mean by "intermodulation from the bass in the signal" though? I'm not sure I understand why the effect happens as you've described it.

    • @SiliconPrairie
      @SiliconPrairie 19 днів тому +1

      @@kasai1575 Essentially, the distortion caused by the dominant low frequency of the kick is compressing the submissive high frequency content in the slightly boosted high end. The peak of the kick phase is when the signal is being compressed the most, so it's almost like applying a tremolo effect to the highs at the frequency of the kick.

    I don't really often see people trying things with Patcher, it's hard to realize how powerful this tool can be. It's litteraly the "craft your own addon" addon.

      ngl it's not thaaaat powerful, what you are describing would be something like bitwig grid or max msp/plugdata. Patcher has so many fucking annoying issues but at the same time it's such a nice too for sure, i just whish they improved all the annoying things. A sure thing is that it's one of the thing that make me stay on fl as a primary daw, conveniance

      maybe i'll release some racks and m4l/plugdata patches in the future but i dont care much atm for several reasons. just takes a few clicks to do, and the important part is not really the patch but the concept of it, so do your own with the tools you like, test some stuff and you might find something cool

    Isnt this the same as having a bp or hp and then sending the result into distortion?

    • @bixenter
      @bixenter 19 днів тому

      will be the same just limited to that shape. With the shown way you can have a complex curve. You still will need to have a difference split after the BP/HP to have a feature author talking about.

    • @mleuc
      @mleuc  19 днів тому

      yes and no it's like saying isnt a bandpass the same as a full on parametric eq, even outside of this context. if it was people would just use bandpass instread of eq. the real interest here is on one side how precise you can be because of the parametric eq, and on the other the bit interest is that it's customisable af, so you can do it with whatever tools you want in whatever setups, there is much much more you can do with this concept than what i'm sharing in this video

    Why do you use Fruity Send for the path?

    • @kasai1575
      @kasai1575 19 днів тому

      If you want to combine two signals in patcher, you have to send them through a plugin. So Fruity Send basically just serves as a blank plugin to combine the signals from the inverted signal and the EQ'd signal.

    • @mleuc
      @mleuc  19 днів тому

      on one side it's really useful to add content in a frequency range really precisely. this could be just to make a signal noiser and richer or lil more agressive souding. Or just to fix an issue, ever was in the position where you need more of a freq range on a sound but eq makes it sound worst? exciters might be your solution, with this setup you can build one with any plugin you like, which mean you'll get different results from the premade options you can find on the market that works in similar ways
      On the other side just do whatever the fuck you want with it haha, random glichy noise are cool if you want to make random glitchy music, boost the subs and the highs like crazy and you'll get really crunchy top end layer, create a big peak and see how some resonances will get picked by it and distort in a cool abrasive way... it's up to you at the end of the day
