I is finally able to automate the timestretch parameter in FL 20 but only for the granulizer and harmor…thank you…been wanting to be able to do that for a while

#82

Feedback loops in Ableton Live :hushed:

#83

Warp/stretch melody samples and make music.
Greatest trick that i discovered. You dont have to stay quantized. Just loop you sound/notes/melody so it feets the bar. If you can loop it you got it.

#84

bitcrusher + combfilter/reverb with small roomsize & high diffusion + ott = instant artifacts

#85

Chain distortion after eq.
Automate eq . Works best with fatter samples.

#86

A fast lfo modulating volume of a sound in conjunction with compression to enhance distortion…

#87

using sends to pan a sound left and right with unique distortion settings placed on the left and right channels to create stereoized distortion… and then sending the sends back into a bus to eq and compress and eq again…

#88

Fun with REX files

#89

Make a trap beat at 140-145 bpm then change pitch of that track -40% and you got yourself super trap track.

#90

adjust the velocity in pianoroll

#91

Whenever designing a synth, attempt to route the smallest variable that is available. Adding extreme amounts of any parameter usually only nets in destructive synthesis.

Attempt to get a rich harmonically full sound, then bus it out to sends, and process the sound on those channels.

(nothing new, just wanted to add to this :smile: )

Abusing this everywhere

I don’t even know what it’s supposed to do

I don’t care, it does weird things

#93

I call it the rubber-band effect. It makes basses excellent, regardless

#94

IIRC it’s all-pass filter (so basically phase modulation) with automatIc gain reduction (or boost). Great tool because of simplicity. Makes things sound somewhat vocoder-ish too.

#95

Sometimes called phase rotation. It’s a great implementation. Love it on bassy material. It’s a process also used in radio broadcasting - gives that particular texture, particularly in the vocal.

I was looking for an automatic EQ to kill the fundamental of a sine even if I play chords, to avoid harsh sounds.

I noticed that Serum’s keytracking is polyphonic, so I used a keytracked 24db/o Notch filter, done

Scale the amount with d/w and don’t use pitch bend or glide (or maybe I’ll look for a way to properly glide/bend the filter)

#97

Distortion after reverb, low in the mix on a send or something, can create this really aggressive and sinister undertone.

#98

GlissEQ has the best spectrum analyzer in the world.

#99

I found a cool way to accentuate squelches and add some spatialization to acid basslines. Just put send it to a slapback send with no feedback, hipass everything below the midrange on the delayed signal and blend it in to taste!

Soft clipping changed my whole life
