 To celebrate creative source reaching 100,000 subscribers, I've reached out to some of my favourite partners so that we can say thank you to you for all of your amazing support. For 7 days in a row I'll be launching giveaways for a total of 24 prizes worth over $6,000 so that you can get the chance to have your hands on some great studio gear and software. Each video also has a bonus secret code inside for you to get extra entries so make sure you watch the whole thing. Today's prize comes from IK Multimedia. Hi folks, I'm Mike and I hope you're well. IK Multimedia are one of my favourite companies because they produce a massive range of high quality products for the musician. They've got a really great range of products for the mobile musician and also they've recently entered into the realm of guitar pedals. I got to try a couple of those and I've got to tell you they're really pushing the boundaries of technology there. But for me, it's in the studio with their software products that they really excel. They're amongst some of my favourites. In fact, in amongst their T-Rex collection is possibly my absolute favourite plug-in. I use it in all of my mastering chains and it's called one. I took a look at it early on as the channel was growing. Let's take a look at it now. And the first one is a mastering processor which is called one. I've actually featured this on one of my videos before because it is a standard part of my mastering process at the moment. And the reason I like it is because it's very simple and straightforward to use. You can get results from it really quickly but it isn't really sort of automated so you are actually modelling your own sound. And the reason it's so easy to do is because it's really just these knobs here which are really well labelled and they kind of make sense to me at least. So for example, if I just want to add a bit more air to the sound of my track, so that sort of top-end airy feeling, I just use that air knob there. If I want to add a bit more width to the track, I would just go to this width knob here and I could make the sound sound wider or more narrow. If I wanted to give it that push or that pump, you know, the sort of thing that you would use compressors for and I'd use this big knob here, except I don't have to worry about sort of attacks and ratios and thresholds and things like that. I can just use this knob and it cleverly works out stuff for me under the hood. Another great one is this volume control here. It's not really a volume control, it's really doing some limiting so you can make your track sound louder without actually peaking. And some other controls for bass punch to add more of an analogue feel, transients, all that kind of stuff. So it's a really straightforward, simple plug-in to use, but you can get some results from it very, very quickly indeed. So one of my favourites. In fact, my list of favourite plug-ins from IK Multimedia is just too long to talk about here, but there are some standouts. Things like their modelled instruments, Modo Bass and Modo Drums are great examples of what you can do when you don't use the usual method of sampling for virtual instruments and instead use modelling methods. It opens up a whole new range of possibilities. Recently, I took a look at Modo Drums in a video. Let's see a clip from that now. Here we are on the Customise tab and I've clicked on this snare drum here like so and I'll go ahead and click on Edit Elements so we can edit that snare drum and look at the choices available here. This is just so much fun in my opinion. So we've got the basic snare drum sound which I selected like this. Let's go ahead and tune that snare drum. Let's make it higher pitched. Cool. Let's change the damping. OK, so we'll just damp it. I'll do it completely so you can hear the difference. Here, there's a lot more ring when I have that down there and then damped on just a really, really short sound. I can change things like the diameter also of the drum. That's going to change the pitch also and the depth as well. OK, imagine that for a regular sample library, you would have to have separate samples for each one of these many, many different choices. OK, so we're already into the thousands and thousands of different samples so far with what we've done. Let's go ahead and we can change, say, the type of the snare. So a large snare to a medium. And then the tension on that snare. Isn't how fizzy it is down there with no tension. OK, that may be something you want. So lots and lots of different options there. Now the options change depending on the drums that you've selected. So I'll go ahead and change from the snare here to the kick drum. You can see a completely different interface. OK, now let's have a listen to changing the diameter on this shell and the depth. OK, so they're kind of each individual one can be quite subtle. But when you combine them all together, you can really change the sound of these drums. So my list of favourites from IK Multimedia is really extensive. It includes things like Amplitube 5, which is actually my favourite guitar amp sim. And if you want to create some orchestral music, definitely check out Miroslav Philharmonic 2. It's absolutely incredible. So I'm so pleased to tell you that the prize that IK Multimedia have offered for this giveaway includes all of my favourite plugins and pieces of software from them. It's the Total Studio Max 3.5 Bundle, which is one of their flagship products, and it's worth around about nine hundred and ninety nine dollars.
