Getting Dirty with Textures (using Cableguys Shaperbox & Noiseshaper)

  • Today let's talk about two powerful tools in electronic music production: the envelope follower, and the complex LFO! We'll use these tools to add texture and glue to our drumloops, and even create entirely new instruments made up of atonal noise textures.
    These concepts are universally applicable, but in this video we will demonstrate these concepts using Cableguys Noiseshaper VST, as they were so kind as to sponsor this video. Find the Cableguys VSTs here: www.cableguys.com/

      Is there an envelope follower VST that I can map to something else outside the plugin?

    You have been the only instructor I have ever found, that has an approach that does anything but make the audience feel inadequate. I wish all instructors - from all facets of life and education - would share the same approach. Not only is it very clear that you have an immense love (and understanding) of music, but the joy you have with helping others greatly shows as well!
    Thank you, Oscar, for everything you do... I owe so very much of my growth and latest appreciations of music production to you!

    two things . . .
    - SOLD, you single handedly sold me these plugins, really amazing, especially the all in the box feature.
    - Secondly, i love the way you created the bass, simply thinking about the rhythm first. It's so obvious and nothing you dwelled on, but it's my biggest takeaway from this video. My basslines have improved immediately, in a big way.
    thanks so much. I really love all your vids mate, and i'm so glad to see you with sponsors.

    Oscar this is brilliant. In the 80's I obsessed on The Art of Noise, and have wanted to create weird beats out of just noise ever since. But how? You know the song "A Time for Fear"? I had a nightmare based on that noise rhythm, and I want to go back to it. I want to create it in a DAW. Not long ago you taught me how to use a vocoder with a noise oscillator, which was great, and now this. Your channel is the best thing on UA-cam for me. What a treasure trove. I've been on a personal quest for what you have shown here. I'm picking up this VST for sure, and you provided a beautiful kick start lesson. You're a great communicator. You make the impossible suddenly easy. Thank you!

    Super super bon tutoriel (guess you speak french as well) aussi bien du point de vue technique (utilisation de l'envelope follower) que du point de vue créatif (sound design). J'ai acheté Shaperbox 2 avec l'ensemble de ces shapers et j'avoue trouver de nouvelles perspectives chaque fois que je l'utilise. Je l'utilise aussi bien comme outil de mixage (compression/saturation multi-bandes+side chain) que comme outil créatif. Et là le champ d'application est énorme (rythmic, timing, pitching, filtering fx...). Merci pour cette vidéo 🎥

    This is a wonderful video. You teach the underlying principles and techniques. By demystifying the plugin, you also show how to use it fully, so Cableguys must be happy, too! Plus, it teaches us more about composing and production. Cutting down on instruments overlapping in frequencies is something I'm working to improve on. Educational and inspiring!

    All your tutorials are great, but this one goes beyond that! love it! I knew envelop followers and complex LFO, and have cableguys already..but somehow got lost in their tricky "time" feature and lost interest- You showed here, how I can achieve with the other, simpler features and good piling of it really nice, organic textures- really groovy! Great example. I still don't understand how the brain merges all this layers and says that's "groovy" but it definitely happens for me. Cableguys gets another chance!

    I really like the playful approach, particularly that last swung element topping it off. I've heard of the cableguys effects but not seen what they can do. I can see that Shaperbox alone could quickly produce some wildly dynamic, atonal grooves. Couple these with say Cthulu, I think the possibilities are very exciting indeed.
