 I want more highs, but I also don't want to make it painful, so I'm going to add that this a sidechain compressor or the SR. Yeah, the SR. I'm going to use it in split mode, so we're hanging again. Too much stuff or I can't handle this track. Nice. Fucking awesome. I think that the mix is where it messed up a little bit in here. Also, I want to compress it a bit. Copy the bass, the drums. Well, well, well, well, let's just select all of that. And do alt D. Oh, for the best. Is it there? Can it be there? Oh yeah, nice. And two more times. I could actually go shift D and just type three. I wanted to verify the first duplication first. Before I do this stuff, let's listen. I want to automate something to change up this part and this last part, too. And I think I'm going to try to automate something in Oxy. I'm going to see. Maybe at first I'm going to try to perform it live. Okay, I'm going to try to automate the chorus operation operator D course tune. Yep. You never did that before. 046. Okay, I'm going to insert here 0.046. Good. Now insert again here so I don't mess it up. Well, well, well, well, and now turn on the play and see. Does it work? I don't hear a difference. I think it should be operation D, actually. Yeah, it was operator E. I wonder if nothing changes because operator D doesn't do shit. Or at least not as important as operator E. Yeah, okay, let's get this destroyed. All right, again, automation, Oxy, FM, operator E. Operator E, chorus tune. This one is just in the middle. Sweet. Okay, let's see what we can do. Pretty freaking awesome, if you ask me. How about this? And then reset. Or just this. Sweet and nasty. I think this is very, very nice. Let's listen in context. I just, I just hope, I just wish it would like not make some so much stair steps. Well, that's pretty painful. I think I need to do something about it. Yep, I think we need some solid DSing or maybe a dynamic EQ. I don't know. Let's try a dynamic EQ. Okay, so because we have painful frequencies. Okay, I'm also going to turn this down because it's just, I think it's better. Not sure. It's not perfect, but it's better. I'm also going to add just some static EQ. I think I have way too much, too many plugins in this session. I think the bass, this bass is a bit too loud, by the way. Yeah, I think I'm going to try to turn it down. All right, I had to restart the whole machine because it just got hung. So our whole business with the automation of OXC FM synth operator E is lost because Ardor doesn't auto-save if you don't record audio and edit audio. And on version 5 at least. Well, so that's weird. Fuck, I need to redo this. Okay, but hopefully I already know what I wanted to do. So it shouldn't be as bad. Yeah, but yeah, it's bad. Everything is lost. Well, fuck, I wanted to go as high to this, see what happens. Okay, kind of kind of kind of working. Maybe Ardor didn't like the dynamic EQ I used. I don't know. That's so painful. My goodness. I have to fix this. It's just terrible. Just fucking terrible. Okay, let's solo the instrument. Let's make it quieter. All right, this ain't going to work. Bad, bad news. Something's messed up. Oh, because the bass reverbs. Let's listen again. Pretty okay. I want to have more ghost snare boost notes. Hey, I want more of this. Let's see. Can I copy this here? I think there's kick missing, isn't there kick missing? Try. Okay, so we're not playing music with the snare anymore. Because it didn't save, so fuck it. I don't remember what there was. What was there? So I can redo it. All right, so this was too high. Let's try that. How about this? Pretty sweet. System of the bass. Maybe save it. I love this breakbeat. Wow. You know what? I need a sub. I need a sub mix for the basses. Because they are all over the place in terms of loudness. And I just need to wait to unify that bass. Okay, all righty. So how do I do this? Because I think all basses go to the side chain bus. But okay, I'm going to try to move them to the side chain. Oh, the freezer tracks are going for, oh, shit. I'll explain some problems. Oh, and this goes, wait, what? Ah, okay. Okay, that'll make sense. No side chain bus, dude. Now we need bass sub mix. Okay, any other basses? Yeah, there's the space too. Whoa. Wrong button. Not side chain, but bass sub mix. And the freezer too, please. Bass sub mix. And bass sub mix should go to side chain bus. Hey, and the sour bass. And the sour bass should also go to bass sub mix. Fuck, that's not good. All right, let's do this. Let them go. I'm going to just use automation to disable the side chain compression there. Side chain bus. I'm going to just go and bypass, bitch. Play. All right, now the bass sub mix can have. A compressor, I will unify the loudness of everything, hopefully. Why is there no, why didn't this play? Okay, let's listen to the basses across the whole track and see if they are. All righty, pretty, pretty okay. Still, I feel like the drums are quieter here than they are there. Maybe it's because of the change in. And the change in, no, notice the crash there too. All righty. Pretty, pretty fine. I think I just want to copy the intro over or intro and this part too. Basically make it an accolade, I think that's the term. Make it feel like it's coming to closing a cycle. Okay, let's control C. And now go to the end of the things and do control V. This should be here. Now wait a bit, because there's a lot of clips to copy. And Ardor makes a duplicate of every single MIDI file there. And every region is a separate MIDI file. So it's probably like, you know, duplicating hundreds of MIDI files right now. It just takes a while. I'm glad this track is coming, like coming together, making starting to feel legitimately interesting. Oh, what the heck? What the... Oh yeah, all right. Why is there... Why does... Why doesn't this play? Oh, I have this muted. Why muted? Automation, all right. How about I copy the drum pattern patterns and reuse them here? Okay, I'm not going to start calling this these sections what they are sometimes. Let's call this F for no reason. I just, you know, need a little bit of a reference. Don't know where my drum things are. Okay, let's copy... Oh, it's not everything. Let's copy and now let's paste it here over to this stuff. Hopefully it's gonna replace it nicely and allow me to like, you know, give this this beat that is already used and use that maybe also do something with the bass. I don't know, it's taking a while. There's been lots of RAM. Oh, what? Okay, that's why I did... Yeah, 13 gigs. Did it work? Not yet. It's still waiting. It's not, it's empty. Why is it empty? Oh, it's probably because it was the first one in the session and got cleared. Yeah, of course it did. Let's change the name so it doesn't do this again. Yeah, I'm gonna teach you everything about avoiding bugs. How about actually swapping these two? That would make more sense, I think. Yes. Okay, how can I do this easily? Maybe just use this automation. Yeah, let's just do this. Copy this and paste it here. Then copy these two. All right, cut them, paste them here. Right, now just move this bass here. Should work, right? That's a pretty clever ending, if you ask me. I like it. I would just like this phaser to do some more motion after that, afterwards, just let it just die so badly. I have tried to use three verbants. Yeah, I have an idea. I haven't seen this. What is this? Okay, maybe let's not experiment with it. Actually loading up plugins that you never used before is very dangerous. You can just crash your session. Yeah, freeze mode, this is what I wanted. Yeah, that's gonna give me this very cool sound. Okay, three verb, freeze mode, this is what I want to automate. And I also want to automate wet level, because I just don't want this reverb to do anything for the most part. Okay, so I just wanted to activate the freeze mode here and make the wet level here, let's see if it works. Now, there's one cool plugin, like BitRot plugins. I want to, yay, tape stop. I want to use this. And I'm going to put the play stop after this. Activate it, just make it hang, and then just tape stop it. I didn't switch this. Yeah, also want to make it slower. Okay, I wanted it faster and I actually wanted to fade. This doesn't sound good. Pretty great, I like it. I wonder if I can use these effects somewhere else. Yeah, I think I could. Yeah, let's do that. It's going to be really, really awesome. Okay, let's automate, let's activate freeze for this and make the wet level here, 0.5, because that's a good level. Now then go back to 0. Then we can mute and unmute it, and I could just, I'd like to actually make some room for this. Like, let's not have any trumps or automate them so they disappear. Save them, go up, and copy the same thing there as well. Control C, Control V. Okay, let's do it again, because why not? Let's do it here, whoa, not here, not here. Yeah, not here. Okay, one, two, three, four, this. Oh, wow, something's, I think I just, I don't know, I'm missing it. Let's also copy this automation, because why should I have to redo that at all? Okay, let's do it here, and here too. Let's try. I think I could also make this louder. Here, rise the wet level. Oh, this is really awesome. It's real. Oh, this doesn't belong here, though. I'm going to un-mute it, and remove this drum automation, because the drums need to hit here, and to hit hard. Yeah, so after this one, I can basically disable the freeze mode. Tape stop, no, freeze mode. Disable the freeze mode, and bring the wet level to 0, just to play this. I think it's pretty cool. Save it. I think we could add some more cool, small cool sounds. Tiny glitchy thingies, I think it's going to be fun. We had a few of those, and they turned out very pretty well. Let's try it with more. Oh, my keyboard. Okay, sorry, gotta activate the MIDI bridge, I guess. Export hardware ports, yes, start. Okay, let's go with the Innet patch. Let's make it very low. Interesting. I think, again, the note pitch is not enough. Oh, where's the... Oh, there it is. Let's go V127. Oh, my goodness. All right, I don't want this to be a bass, so let me just call this FX3. And give it some reverb and hype as it, because we don't want the bass. Well, that took a while. That took a big while, a long while. Okay, I think I want to do something weird. Awesome. I just want to make it less cranes, see what happens. Oh, my goodness, it's so unresponsive. I think I need the NQ. Oh, I have one. My goodness, every single click takes forever to execute. I don't know if the video recording is going to be any good, because this is so unresponsive. Oh, where is this note, yeah. I want to add some delay for that. The triple. Let's make it give it more feedback. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. Let's try it. This. This work. What? What was this? Copy these to... Maybe to the last part. Try to bring some... Oh, this didn't copy or did it? Ah, it did, but... Oh, it didn't. Oh, it did. I don't know. Nice. I think I would like to try some reverser on the drum bus too, because that would sound really cool. Especially like, you know, you think like, this is something you can't do live with plugins without bouncing it to audio and then processing that, but you can. Just need... A little plugin called BitRot Reverser. Super awesome. I definitely want to use that. Yes. Yes, yes, yes. Just listen. Not everywhere. Should be just accents. I think this would fit for one here. Maybe a... Maybe a tiny small one or two small ones instead of one big. Instead of a big one. Yeah, that's awesome. Is there a crash? Because I can hear it. There is no crash. I want to crash here, please. I want some reverser too. Reverser here too. Yes. How about this? Oh, no, no, no, this, no, this lane. This lane. I want to reverse the snare. Yes. Fantastic. Let's try it here too. Right here, maybe on a longer part. See what happens. Like reversing kicks. I really hear it, but that's not... That's bad. Oh, great. I love this. The reverser really gives it... Makes it feel like another different level. It's... I really love that. Oh man, I'm gonna make a whole list of plugins I used, which is gonna be long. Really freaking long. I wonder if I can somehow generate it. Okay, I want to make some other cool sounds like this. Maybe let's try use dexit for that this time. Because I have a few spare tracks. So yeah, just let's try and use dexit. Let's use a mono to stereo splitter. Do I have something like that in the favorites? I don't. Okay, let's go with split. Oh, we've got to wait. Splitter, mono to stereo splitter. Let's add it to my favorites. Oh my goodness, it's so unresponsive. Okay, that's some weirdo patch. Hello, dexit. Can you... Yeah, in it. Oh, good. I missed that button in... I missed that button in auxcfm synth. In it. All right, so we can sum two things. Oh, that's gonna be interesting. Where's the pitch? We'll see. I want to be a bass. Oh, why not? Okay, nice. Pretty weird. Like it. Okay, four. So four is a separate thingy. Really weird sounds. I like it. It's pretty weird. Let's see what we can do with it. Can we maybe... Yeah, this can be interesting. Well, it's pretty interesting. Yes. What can we do to really mess up the sound? I had a whole bunch of very, very fast delays.
