[@VenusTheory]

Ready to hip-hop some study to lofi to? 🤔 Get the plugin: www.unfilteredaudio.com/collections/plug-ins/products/lo-fi-af

[@dash3dot]

Lets just take a moment and appreciate how gorgeous that opening melody was. Stunning!

[@ProdbyOmidG]

it took me to a different place for sure lol i had to play it back a couple of times lol

[@Chanslam]

That tone and those chords were so beautiful holy cow

[@VenusTheory]

Matrix 12 is what's up!

[@lprophit]

@@VenusTheory screw the plugin those chords were the best part

[@SundayVibesmusic]

Thank you for volume warning 😭😭😭😭🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@ZzGeWizZ]

Best demo I've seen of this plugin so far

[@VenusTheory]

Glad to hear it!

[@heathrezabek]

I really like LO-FI-AF! It's deceptive in the sense that it skews more towards the digital destruction end of the spectrum, though the analog tools are there. This is actually a much-needed tool in the lo-fi spectrum! This in combo with RC-20 becomes limitless for crafting sounds that really could be arising from anywhere in the media spectrum. Crucially, LFAF has a very well structured Randomize function! Highly recommended.

[@VenusTheory]

Definitely a fun plugin, I love the interference tool especially. UA did a great job making something interesting as usual. I'll be interested to see what updates they may add in the future

[@alchemistrpm82]

Between this, RC-20, Lifeline Expanse (which is less like RC than you might assume), Tape Echoes by Softube, [insert your favorite plugin here], the power to get exactly what you want out of "Lo-Fi" is readily available. Loving this stuff for hip hop production in particular.

[@renebrossard]

Your detail and systematic tour of LoFi really gives us a good idea of all its possibilities. Video much appreciated. I'll be experimenting.

[@BNLNRD]

Damn, after the first demo I'm already a fan of this. Great sound and out-of-the-box features. I will say however that 129$ is just too much for something this specific - might wait for a sale on this one, if sketch cassette and bit crushing aren't enough anymore at some point...

[@notsure1135]

If it is part of plug in alliance, then yeah, but not for that money…

[@ianjohnson3546]

on sale right now!

[@_kortiko_]

I’m pretty much in love with it, it’s just that it has two major flaws. First one is latency. It has around 40ms if i recall and second is really loud POP that you hear when you start feeding some audio to it if the AGC is engaged. Otherwise, it’s a lofi beast as well as your review. 🖤

[@sonnybrasco9735]

Good video on this plugin my friend 👍🏽

[@jeffryschmidt635]

been looking for that mp3 knob everywhere on the internet finally I found a vst that does it

[@icondark]

I have so many lo-fi and tape emulators that I wasn't interested in one more until I saw this video. This definitely has a few things that the others don't, and can replace several plugins that I use. The closest comparison you're likely to get is Vybz from Thenatan, but that's still not a one-to-one feature parity. I'll be buying this one when it's on sale. Which is now.

[@joost3783]

What this is really missing is some modulators/lfos to for example modulate the station with other aspects of the plugin etc. They really kind of missed out on this IMHO which is weird because that's what they are generally good at if you look at some of their older plugins. Also feels kind of rushed on the bit crusher, there is no auto gain which makes in kind of hard to use for transitions etc. I mean I bought it, but it's really not that well rounded of a plugin IMHO

[@noam_mmvii]

Great new plugin! Now to be able to finance the full version... xD. Great vid as always Cam. Edit: Thanks for the heart!

[@craftycurate]

Really useful summary thanks!

[@steeltrust68]

The bitcrusher (starting at araound 11:00) is already a part of dent 2, being the distortion plugin from UA.

[@TachyonTheImmortal]

Unfiltered Audio is awesome. I like all of there stuff.

[@Winterdagen]

Hmmm this might be a Retro Color killer 👀

[@xylvnking]

good vid thanks man

[@dovas90]

21:53 wild pryda - armed appeared

[@jamesrocks19]

Is this plug in available to be used in Logic Pro for iPad?

[@bloodswarms]

It's a shame they don't let you supply your own IRs. I have an entire library of IRs that would be cool to use with a plugin like this. I bet this plugin pairs well with Decimort.

[@VenusTheory]

I asked about that and I guess it's due to the plugin being highly optimized for micro-IRs. That said, Convology XT is a free IR Reverb that you can use to call up some IRs to pair with this plugin!

[@anthonyman8008]

Subbed, thanks

[@HazyJ28]

I wish Izotope Vinyl supported "only transport" for the vinyl effect. That shit runs constantly and it drives me crazy. I end up automating it to get it to stfu lol (17:00)

[@VenusTheory]

Yeah I have no idea why they did it that way. Seems like a pretty massive oversight

[@TemmeSikkema]

Thanks for this inspiring video Cameron. As always your examples are spot on and really showcase the possibilities of this plugin!

[@VenusTheory]

Really glad to hear it! A good amount of effort goes into the prep for these things to try and really show some practical examples that are realistic but also sound good haha. Too many plugin demos are just 'let's crank shit all the way up and I guess you get the idea'

[@darrenweight5972]

Great video! I clicked on the link to buy and it will only run on the intel macs right now. I updated everything to M1 about 3 months ago. I’ll do some digging to see if there’s anything about making it work with Apple Silicon. Thanks Cameron for another great “equipment I need to buy” video!

[@VenusTheory]

Glad you enjoyed it! No idea on Silicon but perhaps the devs may know more if you reach out!

[@atomaalatonal]

i installed it and the whole preset section is greyed out. there seems to be no preset file anywhere so manually load is no option too

[@alainterieur794]

129$ for a lo-fi plugin?!? I thought it was going to be 30$...

[@cyberhawken]

It will be $29.99 in a few months on Plugin Alliance....

[@tutatis96]

I think the idea is that you get it with a pluginalliance subscription mainly.

[@Brendan-Black]

@@tutatis96 Subscriptions suck.

[@TerenceKearns]

way too expensive

[@lundsweden]

Like a Boss Rpl-10, except $500 cheaper!

[@Genesixs]

Thxs!

[@krazywabbit]

Hmm. The timing of this. They recently released iOS apps and I saw the videos that you and Benn did. I was thinking I’d have to use desktop. Have to see if I can use your samples I bought. The universe is spying on me!

[@dtown5id]

This is my favorite new plug-in in a long time

[@trevor_mounts_music]

This is a cool plugin but super expensive for what it is. Some good sounds here but nothing I can't already get with RC20 or Decimort. Would definitely pick up if it went on sale though.

[@PlugInGuruVideo]

It's designed that way so you look at their subscription model... everybody paying a small amount a month that woke up a while ago with this in their email to download for free is very happy.

[@umanoid1523]

Thanks for the walkthrough. I downloaded this the other day (I have a plugin alliance sub) and immediately found a simple use for it but need a deeper dive. Now that you've explained all the controls (I figured out most) I'll have a better idea of what I'm doing.

[@VenusTheory]

Glad it was helpful! Happy noisemaking!

[@umanoid1523]

what's the sound that you use in the beginning? it sounds amazing

[@Rio-uv1gs]

Reels by audiothing Vs Lo fi AF?

[@electropocalypse5877]

This plugin is amazing, so many nice effects. I find that subtractive synthesis adds a lot of character and additional sound to existing sound in spite of being 'subtractive' versus 'additive'. I can't wait to experiment with this and thanks so much for sharing. 🙂

This is worth the demo if you haven't already - www.audiority.com/shop/grainspace/

That is WILD! great stuff man, thanks!

[@starmatheus7446]

Is it just me or is it slightly weird they made a lofi plugin that doesn't look like a cassette tape or turntable lol

[@Bumper210]

At least it doesn't look cliché

@@Bumper210 yeah! It was a nice surprise

Awesome🙊🙊 🎈🎈🎈

[@lprophit]

ive never felt your voice matches how you look, maybe you should make a plugin?

[@levondarratt787]

a nerd lol....with an official 1980ies radio announcer voice ...hehe....

[@813kingbeatz6]

does anyone know what sound he was using in the beginning it sounds beautiful

[@VenusTheory]

Yo! That was Arturia's Matrix12V - I think it may have been one of my custom patches.

[@tibit77]

Is this dubbed? And why? Very stylish editing though 👍

[@VenusTheory]

Yep - my natural voice is actually too low for human hearing so I hire a professional voice actor to overdub everything word for word.

[@neutronplus8563]

@@VenusTheory 🤣🤣🤣👍

[@mauadachi]

You could use your natural voice instead of lowering and sounding cheese.

[@_boof]

Not trying to be a snob about this but please warn us before those loud bits. I'm trying to hold onto whatever hearing I have left. God, I feel old..

[@VenusTheory]

I did add a volume warning actually haha - you should have heard the non-edited version blasting into my ears!

[@_boof]

@@VenusTheory I tend to be a little off most of the time. Still appreciate what you do!

[@jamescuttsmusicjcm5013]

It is a fantastic plugin. :). EDIT: Btw Stretch is not affected by the Global Strength.

[@VenusTheory]

Definitely takes a bit of getting used to but once it clicks I found it was very fast to make some ideas on! If all else, just fill random stuff in and see what happens haha

[@ileryon4019]

damn. A whole 120 bucks, and at a discount..

[@VenusTheory]

Pro tip - if you sign up for Plugin Alliances newsletter they fairly frequently drop coupons to get any plugin for $29.

[@whitywhit]

sounds amazing but not for that price

[@aobaprod9918]

Great but too expensive.

[@VenusTheory]

Black Friday is on the way! I'm sure it'll go up on sale soon.
