 All right, now everything has to work. Does it? Let me check Check me double triple check Let me quadruple Queen tuple check Let me check. Yes, it works. Hey, welcome Hello, everybody. It's an fall live. It's a monthly live stream time for Sunday 8 p.m. Central European time. I had some Audio issues because I like had some network issues So I thought well if I have some network issues, I'm gonna install a new kernel and maybe that's gonna fix itself but no and So I'm now running a newer kernel 5.1 You know, so my face is a little bit small My face is on the small side. I'm gonna enlarge my face. I think enlarging faces is an important thing. Oh Man, where is it? Okay? Enlarging faces in progress. There you go bigger faces burger faces Okay, I'm really glad to see all of you here. I really hope everybody's watching. Yeah, everybody's back pretty free people nice I Feel it feels like the last live stream was like two months ago But it was like it was last month obviously it was last month. Duh Okay, I Oh, I made a little song today. I wanted to play to you. Uh today Morning, I was like taking a shower and I would start it singing I'm just figuring stuff. I've been figuring out stuff. Yeah, and then I thought hmm. Let's record that so I sat down and Let me just add a limiter here cuz I don't know how loud this is gonna be Yep, let's do it that. Oh Man The and also I need to connect this cuz you know, sorry, I had this all connected but now Let's try it out three two one. And so that's a song This is basically about my networking. Oh But now it's also about audio. However It it works for now. So hopefully it's gonna stay that way because I don't want to redo that I was thinking I was thinking about what work you can do today One thing I was thinking let's work on that dubstep track. We've been working on for the past three live streams And I thought uh Maybe not I don't like feel super excited about it. But I made the song today. Maybe I'm gonna show you how I made it And then we're gonna maybe work on it and do some more things So I started with the vocals And recently I figured out some stuff um How to record vocals or any other instruments through um through microphones or line inputs using big big latency in jack and still have everything in sync because I just figured it out after like using this stuff for 10 years already that hey jack has some ways to calibrate the latency uh, so What you do Is you take a cable You plug it to the output and to the input On your audio interface So you're making a loop a feedback loop and then what you do is let me just check What you do is you open up a terminal on your linux machine and you run jack i o delay And what that does it's creating A little um Like jack program with one input and one output you route the output to your Soundcard output you route the input that you have plugged the cable into to the input of the program And then you just need to dial the levels And it sends some weird tones And it can measure the latency Super precisely and then it says what you need to do What values you need to put into your jack configuration to have perfect sync If you're recording, what is that black thing? So there's a bit lighting or is that what what the hell It's a wrinkle on my green screen dammit I whatever you can live with that So I did that and I got like for um, I'm not gonna do this right now or actually I can do it So yeah, it's it's creating a new jack client and it's waiting for the signal to to become uh visible I'm gonna open kathia kathia, which is a jack signal routing program And you can see here is the jack i o delay. So if I took a cable And like plugged a mono lead into my headphone jack, which is a big jack And into my mic input And then, you know, I can route this output to my playback To to one channel just one channel And then the input from my mic preamp back here And it creates a loop. So jack i o delay can measure what's the latency, which is the delay And I did that because um I was working. I was trying to record trying to record. I was recording vocals for a project I've been doing I could play that project also It's a pretty cool track, I think But the project was very complicated and I couldn't just, you know, it it might see My system couldn't handle it at Low latencies because it was all crackly because I had too much plugins So What I had to do is set the latency to a big one this buffer size 2024 this is like 23 milliseconds of latency In 48 kHz sampling rate I usually record vocals at 128 or 256 max because if that's the case the latency is too big I can't hear myself properly and I just can't sing And I can't catch sync with the recording, but after I did this Cadence cadence cadence. So once you run this You plug in this thing it it's put out this jack i o delay program It shows you some It shows you some numbers That you just have to Put into your jack server configuration and I'm using cadence Which is a awesome program. So here is my cadence window And you can see I'm running a 224 sample buffer Which is 21 milliseconds of latency and if I go configure Here is the I don't know why this is called extra latency because this is actually latency compensation And I thought oh, I can insert extra latency. Why would I want to make my latency higher? No, it's not for making the latency higher It's for making jack aware of the latency The the processing and the hardware all does so when you record your clap with the metronome like, you know Your metronome goes and you go Then The recording will be on point In time and not Because that's gonna drive you insane if you try to record something and you have to set your latency higher than say A few milliseconds and that's what I have to do. So I figured this out I've plugged in these two numbers like 322 and 322 for both for input and output latency And it works I can record vocals in our door having a huge latency and it is in point But I cannot use the software playthrough anymore or software monitoring because that would make myself here Because that would make me hear myself With tremendous latency. So what I did is good. I got to edit preferences audio No signal flow and here is a setting monitoring record monitoring handled by audio hardware before I used ardoor And that's using software playthrough I've talked about all of that in my Initial configuration video on the ardoor channel. If you haven't seen that maybe I'm gonna drop a link maybe not now Yeah, and I've been using this software playthrough all the time and now I'm using hardware playthrough because I can have high latencies and I can just you know record vocals and then use my hardware monitoring in my audio interface or even just take out one Headphone from your head and you can hear yourself singing It's what I did before I had such hardware that has Covered monitoring and I can just record some vocals. Let's make another take Man, do I remember the line? Yeah, I need to turn down the volume of the whole thing because I can't really control the hardware monitoring that easy. I need to turn out my headphones and Yeah, because I want to record with some some dynamic range and now I can record the vocals I hope that's helpful I've been figuring out stuff Let's try it I've been figuring out stuff Yeah I've been figuring out stuff. Yeah I've been figuring out stuff. Yeah I've been figuring out stuff. Yeah. Yeah Whoo And it doesn't work. Oh, no, it doesn't work. No, no And it doesn't work. No No, no, it doesn't work. No, no And it doesn't work. No No, no, it doesn't work. No, no And it doesn't work. No Oh fail Okay, I don't remember you see I had to record these in multiple takes often especially the second part because I like First I just started improvising this Let's see. Now we have playback from the disc with Like this auto tune here is not actually correcting anything. You see the correction. Oh, can you see it? It's too big It's too big This correction knob is on zero. So it's not actually tuning anything It's just showing me How in pitch am I When I'm singing this is super useful if you're singing and you don't know if you're on pitch Or are you sharp or you're flat or whatever this Shows you if you're singing then I would you want to sing and if you're On point, this is very useful for monitoring your performance when you're singing Like a guitar tuner plugin ain't gonna cut it Hmm and then actually all these tracks get sent to this bus which has a compressor and then reverb And then any cue I hope I should have put this before the compressor actually Yeah, I don't know why it's after compressor I should remove the low frequencies before Uh the compression because otherwise the compression may react to some frequency content that is here Which we don't really want because we don't want to hear it. So it doesn't make sense for the compressor to react to it and attenuate the sound Rob van der Berg says me sees dragonfly. Yeah I started experimenting with the second dragonfly reverb plugin, which is called the drug and fly room reverb It's a little bit different I'm sorry. I need to blow my nose I need to blow my nose I Need to blow my nose Oh, yeah, I need to blow my nose I need to blow my nose Oh I need to blow my nose Yeah, yeah, I need to blow my nose I need to blow my nose I don't know if that was a perfect perfect performance. Let's try it again Oh, no, it's getting better gross I need to blow my nose Gross I need to blow my nose. Yeah. Yeah gross I need to blow my nose Gross I need to blow my nose. Yeah. Yeah. I need to blow my nose. It's gross. I know, okay My wife came and asks the fuck Don't ask. It's unfair life. Anything can happen All right, we I think we want to have some some cool sounds. You know what we could experiment later down the stream Get it And uh use this uh funky ninjas 2 Sampler slicer plugin and play around with what we've just recorded. I think I'm gonna Uh I'm sorry. This is so ridiculous, but I'm having fun. I hope I hope you're not grossed out and Hope you haven't left yet. I need to check Because then maybe five people left. No, no, you're all there. That's good Oh, I really uh You know, I had I had a long pause from singing Because I got so so just you know overwhelmed with all different work and stuff, but I so enjoy singing. It's so relaxing and Yeah, I I really want to get to sing more. I hope hope maybe I'm gonna release some something Let's see if that sounds any good Gross I need to blow my what the hell Okay, the pitch isn't perfect at times, but it's almost pretty sweet. I think Okay, we had some fun with this I think because it's uh So the cool thing is you see I recorded this. I have a huge latency of 21 milliseconds Probably even bigger like the systemic latency, which is 21 milliseconds is just the jack latency, but there's also latency of the sound card Uh, sorry of this of the of the audio interface of everything. So that systemic latency, which is the total latency Or round triplet. It's higher probably, but it's measured and jack is calibrated for it. So what I recorded Like if I try to clamp along with the metronome Can you hear it? You probably can hear Let's try and listen if that recorded well We can even freaking see I'm Was I rushing or was I lagging was I lagging or was I rushing? Oh my goodness Whiplash, I think I was I was rushing Whoa, that's weird I was rushing more and more Holy crap, that's weird. Oh, you whoa, let's check it out Hmm Rowland bergs says that the volume is too low. Yeah It is, you know what? I'm gonna compensate the volume. Oh, yeah. Yeah Is it good now? gross I need to blow my nose Okay, I think it's gonna be better Yeah, the latency calibration is good. Okay, you know what I'm gonna do I need to somehow control the volume in my headphones So, you know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna open also mixer I need to make this smaller Let's press f6 go to the UMC 202 HD, which is my audio interface and I'm gonna attenuate the playback Say by 12 decibels. Let's see because I need to hear My if I don't do this The hardware monitoring is going to be too quiet for me to hear myself Ah, yeah The loudness is good Something wrong with playing Glitch those samples. Please lifeline says All righty, we need to do stuff with this stuff because it's fun However, maybe I thought Okay, do you want to see Do you want to have a rundown of how I synthesize all this stuff? Or do you want me to just go on with it and Uh, play with these samples Let's maybe start playing with these samples And if you want to see how I synthesize all these sounds Let me know in the chat. I'm taking a look at the chat. I'm constantly watching the chat Okay, what do I need? I need ninjas too. I just updated it today Because I wanted to get the best And the latest and greatest awesomeness from a rob van den berg Who's coding this plugin and he's right now on the chat Uh, it fits if I say everybody Please give a round of applause to rob van den berg for creating ninjas too, which is a awesome something slicing plugin So this is ninjas too. I need to first make some samples. So I'm gonna leave this here Because it fits the beat, but you know, maybe I'm gonna offset it Because it fits the beat just as well if I put it here I need to blow on my nose How gross Uh, I need to blow my nose. Yeah. Yeah. I need to blow my nose I wonder what can I do? Uh, is it lv2? I believe the ninjas too And plugin is lv2 I don't know if it's also available in vst Maybe it is. Yay. It's pitch band. I mean pitch band Power. Yay. I asked rob for this feature. So it because It like there is an option to have The pitch wheel changing the pitch of the samples played, but I don't know and he'll just like I think I discovered this by accident or He just hinted me somehow on this and this yeah, you can change this now. It's octave Ah, we need some samples I need to blow my nose Let's just take this one. I'm gonna s tap s to slice And now I'm going to basically export this one file Let's browse Maybe I'm gonna export make a sub folder here called samples And let's call this okay. This is the location now the name of the file is I need to blow my nose timestamp name Time span name Now that's the just the name of the region. We don't really need that. It's not gonna help us anything I need to I want to save this as 24 bit flag Because I have I want Maximum fidelity I hope the audio works. It could have dropped out because rendering samples All right, let's drop this sample into ninjas too Let's click load sample. Okay. I need to get to my can I type here? Oh, okay data Data oh man data project project Oh man, you're seeing my whole This freaking the structure Uh Last modified, please I'm giving out. Yep export samples. I need to blow my nose. Hey, I would automatically chop this so now Let's you know what I'm gonna plug in my midi keyboard and this is a good segue to show you how to plug in your midi keyboard I have a little aka akai mpk mini Someone says no audio No sound Is this sound working? Let me just check Yeah, let me just check. Yeah, there's sound if if there if you have no sound If you have no sound, it's your problem, dude So now Let's okay, so if you connect your midi keyboard to your pc It should be Detected in jack. I'm gonna show you cat. Yeah Katja Is a nice program that shows you stuff The connections jack connections patch based style. It's it's just easier that way than just having Multiple long lists and just clicking this like this and connect Somewhere here. Oh there there's midi input. What is that? This is a spaghetti This is a real spaghetti That's like wow That's a real spaghetti monster. Yeah, that's what you get if you have lots of stuff Okay, no, that's just a part of my of my midi setup So that's not that that's not it. Okay. Anyway, you should like if you have it all Just works well, then you just select it and you should have this on the list But you don't I don't So I open cadence Here is cadence Oh my goodness, please don't Don't you hang on me? Oh no. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, there it is So we have cadence And here it has very useful tools like also midi bridge So when you run jack you go export hardware, which means you need to enable it to export parts from your hardware controllers and then you start the bridge And now if I click here I have midi through and I have my mpk me Keyboard so I can just select it And if I press record I should have my my midi input going. I'm not sure if I I'm not sure if onsets slice slicing and dicing I need to figure out Okay, is it getting I need to blow my nose Okay, it's working It is working We just need to figure out Okay, so c4 is the first like slice Let's see Let's just place a lot of slices And play this in loop Let's figure out what the hell. Oh, I just gave it one. Okay. Let's give it multiple Wow, that's so fun Okay, we actually um, we don't need the first note because it's just nothing This is awesome. It actually spliced it semi correctly regarding Like The parts of the words or even words Oh, yeah, we can also use these A combustible lemonade says this sounds kind of like some sevens tracks Yeah, I got the same thought like wow, maybe that's how he's doing these all amazing vocal chops Oh my goodness, this is awesome. Okay, let's give ourselves some some kick bass maybe I think we might need to like, okay, let's un-solo things No Okay, maybe let's make this um I don't like these vocals here right now. I don't need them. So let's just maybe copy this um kick pattern Yeah, okay, we can have this Now let's give ourselves some hi-hat We can just reuse the pattern we have here The interesting thing about this hi-hat part is that it's not metronomic You can see We can hear it's kind of drunk um And that's because I just took every other note And I've just offset it by a small amount that was like, I don't know one 30 second or something less and gives us this weirdly Kind of funky laid-back feel Do we have more slices up there? Nope No That's so cool Let's you know what we could kind of make this like a synthesizer I think that's a great thing Right now is that I am discovering things and you're discovering things along me and we're having fun together It's not just like I'm showing you stuff that I know in and out and it's boring and it's like You know to me it's at least boring, but it's something new to me. Also Why the plugin not out wait a minute Mr. TXT asks why the plugin not out. Hmm also, um Like reading reading or reading Kick it's kind of interesting has been based behind it Okay, so there are some Cool ideas we could try using band pitch pitch bands So let's try okay eight 192 is the middle value, which is no effect I'm gonna check how is my uh Don't bur bur bur bur Bur buh uh Oh man, where is that editor? Oh, yeah ignore Ignore y-axis click position when adding new automation points. That's what I want I can just what the it's not doing that Liar no, okay. That's probably just only works for you know, real automation because How about I can make this longer awesome, and I can make a pitch band here flip an egg You know I've made I made entire some I talk about orders automation and that it's Allowing you to do cool. I Can basically do scratches with this thing because you can go Here yep, let's go back to Because this like is independent of the actual sample you're playing However, I'm not sure I want that extreme weirdness Maybe just a little bit of it So I'm gonna try to like snap it to neutral values and That's cool. Let's see if I can use some other slices Sweet I Could just Huh, this is not neutral. Yeah, like editing this pitch band automation had needs needs some work in order It's really really not user-friendly It's a pain to just work with this That's why I don't use it much like the regular automation is easier to use but This is this is the worst Oh, it didn't refresh because I have like You see it didn't register this point because it was right on top of the other point Oh, it's still didn't register use son of a Okay, so we need to give it a bit a bigger slope because it doesn't as a refresh so It's pretty sick I'm gonna call this vocal chops Well chips one cuz we we want to do some more. Oh, what the hell? Oh, please hello, we have audio we have audio I Think it's the first crash of art or today Or is it? Oh, it's not just something weird I don't like this because it just breaks the tonality. So I want to man. I want to Bring this to the whole octave so it's Well, this doesn't sound good They're weirdness I like this oh Rob van der Berg says you can automate play direction to forward backward, but be careful when playing multiple slices So we can ah, this is play modes forward backwards Oh We can change the play modes of individual samples that is I think yeah or slices Holy slap this this wow also is there a loop markers or am I just Am I just imagining things? No, no, no, okay. Oh It's good that they like hold against each other so I can't overlap multiple because that would be bad Whoo, that's awesome. I don't want to give this a little bit of attack and release. So Oh, it's also per slice I Awesome Wow That's really cool because you can just You can just now this is this would be perfect for drums If you also could like, you know change the pitch of individual slices because I think it's not possible right now, but Still it's wow. This is cool What cool things could we do with this? Let's give give it some snare by the way, maybe this is a good time to maybe this is Let's talk about the kick the kick bass as I call it and the snare I'm using my mouse wheel to change the velocity of this note. So there it's let's see If the notes overlap or touch sometimes Ardor will glitch out and whoa, I Deleted the whole region. I didn't want that. That's okay. I don't like this I had a roll there and the end. It's maybe trying to do something opposite that is Whip. Oh Wow, that's weird. I don't know what to do that Yeah, we need more of that. Good thing about bender automation is that it's it's embedded in the media region So you can copy them and move them around and it follows unlike the plugin automation, which is Just separate and you to take care of it separately I think I wanted to do some variation here To do Wow All righty, that's something Okay, let's take a lot. Let's take a look at the kick bass and just figure out how it works because that's pretty simple and pretty It's that's fine. Also the snare Let me just plug in my meter keyboard into it. Yeah, I have to low What what note am I playing here? Okay, it's D sharp So the kick bass is super simple was disable DQ. It just boosts low end and Is boosting the low end because I wanted the low low bass Louder than the higher bass like, you know, this one because this one like didn't Didn't go through so loud on my speakers So when I turned up the whole thing This was too loud. So when I turned up this they felt more in line So let's mute that EQ and let's open Zenfusion. I Think for some reason things are Loading for a long time. Let's just Hello you there It'll never happen before looks like something's not working as expected That's expected. However. No, that wasn't expected. I didn't expect things to it'll work to not work. I This infusion GUI doesn't show what the hell. Oh now it shows good So we have the EQ disabled. We have the first voice, which is a sine wave There are two voices and there are also effects Distortion, let's disable it and Reverb so this is without any effects. It's just a sine wave of oscillator Just a sine wave and It has a frequency envelope. Sorry on the global a global frequency envelope That adds I'm gonna copy this so I can paste it back It's a freeform envelope. So it's not controlled with these knobs Because I wanted to give it a more custom slope and you can see we are just creating a drum like transient by Manipulating the pitch envelope and paste what I had before. Yeah, and that's it Basically, then it has an amplitude envelope Which is slowly decaying making this you know for a real for a normal regular kick I would use Something like this but for this kick bass, I'm using a longer one and also, you know The sine wave just keeps the frequency that I play at as long as this Envelope has this point of rest. She may be I could do it like that at this middle line And that's the first voice the second voice As disabled the first one it's a little bit of It's a sine wave modulated by an earth sine wave With a weird frequency so it just creates a noise like sound There's also a like an amplitude modulation here Just to play without with it and here the envelope to envelope That makes this really really quick and together they give this oh They don't wait a minute oh I think I changed the wrong today, oh Yeah, I changed the wrong amplitude Now there is very important distortion. You see It's it's mixed in In a in a ratio, so it's not all the way so this gives us some high frequency higher frequency stuff and next is reverb Which is just high passing all the bass. I just want to give this him some ambience So give some space. So that's the kick bass. I hope that's helpful Let's try it That doesn't fit this prayer part of the song at all and snare snare is super simple However, somehow it just sounds like the Roland 808 TR 808 snare, which is really funny. Oh, I also forgot to enable the EQ Okay for the bass so You see the snare is pretty much the same thing It's a simple sine wave oscillator with a frequency envelope which is again done by hand and And it has a short amplitude envelope you can see here If it's too long it's gonna feel weird and then it just has two Voices of white noise with One of them has a band pass filter I need some snare sample material Yep So this is it. Mm-hmm. Whoa, never mind. It's it's disabled either way So that's this one voice layer noise layer and our noise layer and with the sine layer Just a sign there and then together somehow the tuning of this sounds perfectly like the Roland TR 808 snare, which is very much used in Trap music and then a little bit of distortion Tap to warm Which is really really tasty and then in Q I will see the TRR 808 has this property that has two body frequency resonances One and about the other and somehow I think the pitch envelope is of such a shade It also creates these two tones. So I emphasize them and then I used a Low shelf to like turn this all down because it was too much and then bring up some highs Because it was too dark Then some reverb Dragonfly reverb And there's the snare I think we need some sneezing sorry the blowing nose samples used we could make a snare out of that I think also if we pitch it to this we could use make this to a kick I think Let's try it A little bit shift let's go three octaves if you know exactly what I expected but No, no, that doesn't sound very good How about reversing it because that's fun alt Alt 2 alt 4. Yeah Yeah, this is always this is this is always fun This never gets old Maybe let's I'm gonna middle-click and drag this sample down Down down down down down Down on its own layer and Ardo creates a new layer. Sorry a new track now. It has its own track. I Don't know with that now we can Yeah, I want to use this like Just some reverb Sweet Let's go drug-and-fly room ever again. I'm gonna try to learn that plug-in You know what I'm going to enable Author return so that when I press play and Stop the playhead is gonna go back here so I can replay the same part again. It's useful for Give me some more. Oh nice Oh Nice This is sounding like classic EDM more and more. I don't know. Yeah, this is so cliche man First it's trap like second. We're using vocal chops third. We're using whoo whoo This is like EDM 101. What the hell I'm getting too mainstream. That's weird and I want to reverse this so it's Man, I think I think that even like the art of noise was doing something like this Yeah, it's actually this is super old. This is nothing new. It's like the oldest stuff Me and Feels weird to be doing stuff. Oh this old. I'm like there's a little bit of there's a little bit of Room reverb just captured on that sample Well, we can't do anything about it really. I want to do something to add taste make bees spice it up So let's use a flanger But disable the LFO Flanger is actually just a delay line that's using variable delay and It's controlling the delay amount with LFO. So and it creates phasing effects, which are here showed on the spectrum graph But we can automate Mod the depth and we can basically do stuff like that. Oh Now this auto return is biting Biting me right in my ass. We can try and make some weird weird stuff. Let's solo it I Yep, this is fun with phasers Let's try and do this like reverse it and then go back I need to blow my sauce whatever that means I don't know I Need to blows weird But that's the fun of vocal chops You create sounds that don't you could create words that don't exist and Never existed Okay, I'm using the range tool to select the whole thing with module of automation and just copy and And paste it with my playhead position. Maybe yeah, let's do some playhead position. It's gonna be easier And let's paste this four times and just Know All right, I made a mistake I copied one one too much I need to be Thomas Yeah, we don't actually have to use if we were just having a single sample like this Actually, we have multiple and well, let's combine them. Oh now I need to change this to mouse. I'm gonna combine these samples Oh, no, it's getting better all the blown nose all the nose blowing Gross gross I need to Maybe that's laughter. Yeah, that's I want to have this. Let's use that. It's weird. It's weird. It's great Could pitch it down or something. Let's make it louder Where is blowing? Yeah, there's blowing nose That's three also pretty good I Need to blow my nose. I need to blow so I need to be Thomas. Yeah I I'm gonna rearrange this so we have three nose blows Free nose blows. Yeah, come by your free nose blows fantastic Let's just you know have select those range and right-click export range and exporting to the export samples and Okay, I'm gonna call this nose blows One maybe because my we might have more. No, no, let's just go nose blows not just not so yeah, I won't 32 Okay, export it blow the base It's mute this track Bloss and I want to do another chopper chopper choppy choppy Buckle chops to whoa, I should have type it to okay one is already there So it made two on its own. I wonder if I press this again. Do I have to yes? I do You know what? I'm going to copy this Base it here. Wow wrong wrong place Replace it and hopefully it's gonna Remember the place. No, it doesn't Rob we need a better file selection dialogue. This is not very useful. Oh Maybe I need to oh There's oh now. Oh, yeah, okay places help me out No problem, man, this plug-in is awesome. It could be better Is this is this it it's the nose blows. Okay, let's open. Let's plug in the keyboard Where is C4 can't find it man Mmm, all right, let's just draw something C4 ah, this is cool perfect Fantastic and another one like I want to kind of play two at once Or three at once. Can I stack them? Let's save the session in case something Breaks I can play all of them. Wow You can play 128 at once. Oh good. That's good My this is so ridiculous. Also fun slice one or 28 times After what the hell? Oh, this is perfect. What what's going on, man? This needs to be its own thing like let's maybe Now I will Let's mute the Let's mute these Make room for I'm just gonna delete them It's gonna be easier on the eyes to tell what's going on and now let's put this here And I also want to compress this to even out the loudness of different chops and ah Man, okay, select right square bracket I can tell my music is evolving into something really deep Also bent pitch bands is I think pitch band is mandatory here Let's let's do a classic, you know Pitched crash simple crash like in like the Prodigy did back in the day. Yeah, let's go this Sweet sweet perfect. Maybe you know what I should rearrange this. Oh, no, that's gonna not that's not gonna Yeah, you know what I'm gonna just do this and this now for some reason this doesn't That's interesting pretty pretty sweet Case all why arey arena says, okay, don't be a tour. I just woke up from my siesta greetings from Berman. Hello Also, you can auto snap to onsets. Don't forget that auto snap to onsets What is that I did I can also resize this You know what we need more slices Why can't it? Does it say I want more I want this to be separate slices Can I have that? Hello. Oh, how do I do this? I don't know It's just insanity in pure form well, but it feels like something and now it's time to sniff it all Sniff No When I exported the range it exported with the reverb tail Wow, that's weird or did it? No, no, it does it needs to be a little bit syncopated. So let's do it like that. Maybe Classic that's pretty decent. Let's give it a second Oh, it didn't didn't reset to to the pitch which we Can play both at the same time. That's deep That's just just you know, that's that's that's really relief. That's a thing. Yes, that's You know what makes me want to record some beatbox slice that up and do something from this So let me record a beatbox. Sorry. I need to blow my nose. I think the acoustic guitar resonated with that Maybe it's recorded Okay, let's let's give some some one shots. Okay, I think we have plenty of material Let's turn that into a brass instrument. What do you think? We can do it and this This too Now maybe first just take care of this one I want to make this like into a brass instrument, but I Don't want to use a sampler. I just wanted to be a one-shot So I'm gonna drag this into its own Call this brass. Oh Man, I could okay. I'm gonna just cut this X Put it here V and now we have both Now I will auto tune this to a desired pitch Which note do I need? I think I need the sharp Yeah, the sharp So it's disable all the other notes Basically, so what it's left is just the sharp. Let's make it fast Where is that it jumps between octaves so we could try of course we need to pitch shift it before Let's use MA pitch shift. It's really weird and glitching. It might give us three cool results Let's go ratio half. I need this alter return thing If we maybe I pitch it a little bit up, it's not gonna jump down in this Oh, it does still okay, that's weird You know what I'm gonna go with this. It's weird and Okay, that's not a problem. Let's use cullf multi bond enhancer. It's actually multi bond saturator. I would say or harmonic exciter Let's see what we can do with this. I Want to give it some more high frequency Oh Yeah, nice nice, I love it. I Thought maybe we could use some granular processing, but I don't want to like lose the Lose the texture of it, you know, I mean, so I'm gonna just add some reverb No, no, no compression compression. We need compression Cullf compressor. Cullf compressor. It's a running no suppressor Whoa, that's loud, sorry That's blowing my eardrums Okay, let's give it some reverb OTT Multi-bend compress it. Oh, yeah, sure call multi-bend compressor Ah man now there it is It's just on Bipers everything I'm gonna turn down the output gain turn on Yeah, and just this is the simplest form of multi-bend compression. I know Just just crush it. It's funny. It's it's yeah, it kind of has that OTT sound. That's also That's perfect. Could someone tell this is made from me sniffing Doing things with that tissue that is really sweet 32 decibels Are we peaking at 32 decibels? Over the top 32 decibels. I don't have OTT. I use only open source stuff Sorry, but No, I can't say that There's something coming. Let's use the whole one because holes Holes are awesome. I Think I need to cut off this this little tail What can we do with this? I I can imagine that there should be some part where the bass drops And it's like and this just this thing goes So maybe let's go and just put it on the beginning of the track. I'm gonna copy track this Also, how about reversing this? I hope that's helpful. Let's try it Oh That's a sim that's an entirely other different take. Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna move all that to a different track Lifeline says sounds like a dying monster. That's good like this. Let's call this Draft Okay, I'm gonna recovery go back to the proper vocal track And the speed this another crazy thing we could do is just Time stretch this to some ridiculous lengths Let's use crisp mono following instrumental and just Let's save the session first. Maybe, you know, because that I might blow something up. That's beautiful. Oh Beautiful beautiful. I think we need some more river for that Sound of Nessie dying says Robin Marguer. How about reducing the speed of our Auto tune, let's copy this one and I want to time stretch it too. Oh Even longer how about putting the auto tune before a pitch shift is that gonna change how it sounds and Burke says you could Feed the autumn tune with MIDI to pitch the sample. Yeah, I could do that right eye keeps blinking is that a secret code? I don't think yeah, I've been doing this with auto tune. It's really cool You can give it a MIDI input. What? Let's do this too. Oh, how to rip them Wow I need clusters of four bars. Okay, let's let's go like this bars 1 2 3 4 Control C Mouse here control V mouse. Oh my goodness Okay, I think it's this I think it's good. I want to put some weird vocal chops in here Can I do that? Oh this this one is empty? There's nothing here I think it's too fast. Oh, no, that's about right Yeah, I think they're spicing it up with such things this really And it doesn't work Case all why arena asks, how did you level up the gain of a region without the right click origin's name gain boost gain? There are shortcuts for this alt Basically alt 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 do weird different things. So alt 1 mutes regions alt 2 Looks like deletes them. I Think it didn't use that alt 3 normalizes regions alt 4 reverses regions alt 5 Doesn't do shit. Sorry alt 6 makes 1db louder Give it 1db of gain and alt 7 gives it 1db less of gain. So It's getting some flow way. Oh, man, this alter return is really I Need to add these extra 8122 8192 Yeah, they're missing and that makes the automation not reset 9 1 8192 By the way, do you know that? Linux has a PC speaker sound driver and you can install it and you can use it to output arbitrary Audio just just feed it through that I tried it and when I enabled it It sounded like frying cables. So I turned it off real fast But you can do it and maybe with some hardware. It's gonna use the right right Work I think this doesn't sound good. This sounds okay. This sounds lame Let's let's just leave it Figuring out Hey Russell Barton is on the chat. Hi Ross. Oh, it's been so many years I've been in contact with rest Barton since I released backside front album if anybody remembers that I Was in 2012 I guess I Think life line says No, it's Robert by Rob. Thanks for the plug-in. I Want to copy this stuff So I have it One two three four five. Well, that's weird One two three four. Oh my goodness. There's something weird about this Bum bum bum. I think I broke the pattern Did I I did I? Need to use a crash. I Don't want to use a crash. I want to use my nose blow nose blows So let's go Let's alt 4 to reverse this I How about clipping this whoa s And now I'm gonna use G for no no D for draw and make this give this a a spike So it has a transient This is insane, I love it one two three four one Crap This pattern is weird Can this work? Let's try and go with this pattern I Yes, we're making it it's like it's becoming a build-up You know what let's make the base hit more often. Hopefully it's not About this Can I use C? Let's try to see if it works bum bum bum The problem with very low bass lines is that it's really hard to tell if they are in pitch And you can see it's not in pitch it should have been C sharp Yeah, we have three minutes left until we are going in and figuring out Taking a look at your submissions your music submissions. Yay Now let's I can see some notes didn't play because our door just got lost and Sometimes, you know, there's small errors in timing when notes touch There are situations where Sometimes our door like, you know process the MIDI and receives I think it receives a note off after the note on on the same note on the same MIDI channel And the result is one note is not playing at all. Okay, this should be good One problem I see is that we have this our Nose blowing is very much much more loud than the rest. So I'm gonna use a KATSR plugin called the SR to mitigate that To equalize that So let's let's play a loop of this Yeah, that should help now I need the snare to also ramp up like Something like this You can see you can hear that we have these double It's just you know, let's just oh, I didn't make a drum boss for this track I usually do that for heavy sounding tracks to you know add saturation and compression for the drums only I didn't want this track to be heavy sounding That's why I didn't do that. I'm scrolling this should provide a buildup Yeah Yep and Here control clicking will be another section and I think I want to do another another verse which will be just like I'm still figuring out stuff And then a chorus will be it and it doesn't work. No, no, it still doesn't work No, kind of like this, but I think we're gonna do this during the next live stream. I'm gonna save this out Or save this down We have 100 X runs total sweet. Let's minimize this and It's time to play your music. I'm gonna just open up my Almighty field of knowledge. Oh man and Just play it So the first one is called card tick By RS. It was done with Ardor and that's all I know Some really good bass Says life like churrits all Lot of drum part this reminds me of the unreal sound of the original one You can see the pan automation of the sample It's going. I like this little resonating resonance base This is strange because it's both soothing and Insane at the same time. Yeah, so that was card tick by RS and it was done with Ardor and now is Track called Oceanic by Kilgore. I like this bass here. Super simple, but light line says that sampled You mean I mean he this is taken from a different piece of music. You mean that this whole bass part This was done in LMS Okay, the guy said that The track is clear from any possible cover like copyright. So if he lied then we are fucking screwed sorry Because all the money is gonna go to some, you know, a fixed win I mean why did you look up a fixed win orphans now to make sure this is not taken from that would be a pity because You know if people are gonna Submit music that they didn't make even then I will have to Make the whole process of submitting music much more difficult for people. So I don't get Stuff like that, which would be a bad thing But I hope this is original well orphans are 18 minutes long so for me to check it It's gonna take a while. I wonder if this is a single synthesizer because it sounds like it's a single Maybe there are two synthesizers Super minimalistic Maybe I'm gonna have to maintain a black list of people submitting, you know music that that that has a lot of samples I have to check that out sounds like someone playing out with a modular a bit Yep, so that was probably Oceanic by Kilgore, but we'll need to verify if it isn't actually a fixed win and now is Conspiracy by spicy chicken studios That one was made with Alma-Mess And the guy says I decided to be a bit more spooky this time I see you fix the spelling of pancakes. I'm proud Had a mistake a typo in my submission form It was packing cakes or something. That's some really decent sound once in what work. I think I wonder what did he use For the strings what sound funds that he used and are these free or commercial ones? I'm gonna ask him because I don't think we have spicy chicken studios In the chat right now how to remind says now my turn Yeah, that was conspiracy by spicy chicken studios and now is coming up a track by Outer Mind called pixel magic from his upcoming upcoming pastel party for track EP Or is it out already? This is a VIP WAP He says this is chilled down hardstyle this time Yeah Yeah, he's been using SFXR for the chip tuner sounds. It's built-in and on a mess. So that's a nice thing Kick is really crunchy Outer Mind says that the riser is made with two balls later And the chip cord is free boy It's really like the rhythm of the snare roll And that's the place where the DJ drops the second track exactly on that last kick. So it's smoothly goes From one to the other so that was Outer Mind pixel pixel magic story and this is a track called Helios click the guy's name is Klax something really insane Break core, but it's not broken enough Like this part, but it sounds microtonal at parts. It's weird. It kind of reminds me of x2 and he's been doing stuff like that Lifeline says kill and base Stop sir break or more focus on the hi-hats. I like the rhythm of this and I'd like to see the guy making this at work Helios click by Klax and was made with Ardor really glitchy stuff Sometimes I wish I could see the project for these tracks because there are some insane things going on I don't know what it is something we've already heard but now improved By Xavier training off ski tea that home It was made with Ardor. I think you might remember this part, but there was nothing more than so Xavier is doing Consistently very short very memorable pieces. I like that He says it's not the newest version So he might have been confused Because he submitted it twice for this live stream one by one by this forum Better luck next time man and this is called part 6 6 6 0 8 by Korea chorea No elements, sorry I Think I have heard this before I Don't know someone submitted it before to the live stream Under a different name and a different version. I don't know Yeah, I think I remember it, but I couldn't find the names anywhere in the live stream in my Colk I think it's a Big problem. I hear this is really over compressed Valley over compressed. There's something called the crest factor meter. It says you how much dynamic range you roughly have in your track. I Think I should have pushed everything through this so we can see It shows you the peak the RMS And basically difference between peak and RMS is your headroom So if you're all square waves Your headroom is zero Your seven is really really not a lot But you can hear how the leads Get on the way from So it's weird because the feel of the strike is very very chilled down chilled out pretty Easy, but so compressed that It kind of poses that feeling which was weird. Oh now we're now we have better stuff. Let's let's measure this again Now it's all that has more air. Yeah, dear nine It was one decibel better. It was already sounding way better And that's all the submissions I have today And we still have nine minutes eight minutes to go so lifeline asks, can you please explain what headroom is? I heard it multiple times, but never understood what it is so I'm gonna Show you what headroom is Using the track we've been working on So, you know x42 is a great great He has a really good pack of meter plugins and There is one called dr-14 Which is the crest factor Meter and let's just drop it in and I'm gonna show you and tell you what is doing and what it means Wish I could make this bigger, but you got to use your zooming capacity to zoom in on that Alrighty, so we have a limiter That's maybe Yeah, let's maybe have these plugins I'm gonna force them all to stay on top Yep, if I crush this really hard And I need to turn it down because we're gonna it's not gonna be pleasant You see the difference between the peak value So the highest Values the samples all your samples have and the effective loudness, which is here approximated using RMS Is the difference one decibel means it's freaking crushed It's a sausage mix. That's what it's called And it doesn't work it's bad So if we back off You can play this louder You see we have much more difference between the peak and the RMS We have the R of 8. It's still not that high But we're not like see our limiters is only working when the drums hit and this is basically To me this means the limiter is doing its job Well, if it's hitting on the base notes, that's too much So with this cough limiter if you limit it's actually applying input gain Against the limiter which has a fixed Now I'd lower this so we are at lower threshold You see we have It's compressing when the bass plays that's a bad sign If you have this it means you're just crushing your mix and you have the R of 2 which sucks It's still sounds way better than what then that Last truck I played from your submissions for some reason, but the crest factor is really low Crest factor is exactly the difference between peak and RMS It's it's some indication of the headroom. It's not the headroom itself like it's some indication but usually headroom is when you think about headroom is the amount of Volume you have left However, sometimes the truck is just not dynamic not too dynamic and it's not that it doesn't have any Any micro dynamics which is short-term dynamics like you know a transit of a snare Just you know if you have a piece where there's just A string ensemble and it's there playing like that all the time Now the crest factor is probably gonna be pretty low because There's not gonna be much peaks to just jump off and rise the peak value So then you need to use this as an indicator that something might be wrong. It doesn't mean it's it is wrong Like right now we are measuring the R4 which is super low We're not even limiting this Almost Fucking also says what is meeting measure measuring So it's measuring the peak is decibels to peak And the RMS is top 20 RMS So I guess it's top 20% RMS measured across the last three seconds It's a useful plug-in to have especially if you're mastering and you can compare the dynamic ranges of tracks All righty, we have three minutes left Actually now that's two minutes 30 seconds. I wonder if How are you guys hanging out there? Yeah, it's still 25 people watching. Wow All right, you have I hope you found this live stream useful I Must say I didn't have a really solid idea what I'm gonna be doing today. I made this track and I felt like let's just go in and Get the feel of it and figure it out on the spot. What are we gonna do? And I think we've been doing really awesome things. We figured out how to Slice samples with ninjas, too We've been playing with samples like recording some weird stuff that in facts Digging into some synthesis of the drums Whoo, yeah, and we've heard some interesting music from you. So big thanks for that. I'm still gonna check this a fixed win possible sampling make sure and Yeah, maybe I'm gonna have to start a blacklist of people can summon music Say do that stuff. I don't know. I hope not. I really don't want to do that I wonder I could upload this project and Give a link under the live stream archive. Also, I'm gonna upload it to patreon So you can download it and play it around and maybe you know use the samples to your own music Do some stuff if if you use my samples, just please like Leave a note somewhere that used on first samples or something whatever Anyway Yeah, I Want to give huge thanks to all the people who support my work with their money Because that's really what lets me doing to do this stuff over and over Because you know, I've been in a place in my life Before when I could do whatever I wanted. I didn't have to care about, you know Feeding people and now I have a wife so I need to do that So it's really great that there are people who find True value in what I'm doing and they want to give their hard-earned cash to me so I can Keep doing this. So I really want to thank you all you guys. I was thinking if I maybe should like I don't do a payroll, I don't know a list of people who support me on patreon to like Pay respect to them and show my appreciation But I thought that maybe that's not necessarily a good idea because that was gonna be padding the videos with Content that is not very interesting to anyone Apart from the guys who are on the payroll. I Don't know what you think Let me know if you're a supporter and you would like to see your name shown on the end of the video Maybe I'm gonna start doing that. I Don't want to do that because I thought maybe it's just diluting my videos with Like non-content, I don't know. By the way, I've been designed some t-shirts. I've ordered myself a t-shirt saying Store the shit out of it and with unfound the back and I hope it's gonna come Arriving a few days and then I'm gonna show it to you. I'm also gonna make another another t-shirt with I think with the artwork for my latest album suppressed and Probably with the track list on the back and the band can blink so I can just show it to people I know it's gonna be interesting. I don't know if you'd like to buy some t-shirts. I I think I'm gonna be doing also some designs with Open source audio projects like Ardor Zinfusion helm Yeah, this kind of stuff I'll my mess. Maybe I still need to contact on my mess guys if I can do some teachers for them I Don't know. I was thinking I maybe you know Maybe I could just put them up on the internet and you know just Get minimum income from them. Just you know one dollar. I don't really want to make money on that I just want to put it out there so people can get them and just you know show their Appreciation of a open source audio community and the developers and like show the world. Hey, I'm using open source software I don't know if you have any ideas for t-shirt designs or what you would like to see on a t-shirt And if you would like to wear that t-shirt, I don't know. Let me know Maybe I'm gonna do that stuff Anyway, big thanks to everyone who came to see this live stream to attend this live stream everyone who submitted their music and Yeah, thanks for Thanks for being here and Helping me doing that do this helping me help you Yeah So that's all What's left is to just send you on your way home And I think my um My additional camera didn't just shut down so I need to use my main camera All righty I'll see you soon. Bye
