I have been trying to use custom impulses with fruity convolver lately but had trouble finding ones that sounded good. This tutorial is very inspiring thank you Au5 you're a legend.

Doesnt even take me 2 seconds to see this notification and click it too. Cant get enough of you man

[@spencerrobinson5386]

Oh snap this is a powerful technique. I'm not even halfway done the tutorial and it's already helping me rethink my current M.O. right now I try and use Mr. Bill's fractal effects for my reverb and delays, now I can stack delays and record the response and then repeat it. Cant wait to finish watching this so I can try this out

[@lollern1234567]

Hey Spencer, what are Mr. Bills fractal effects?

I love the video Au5 not even a third of the way in and there's so much to chew on. you know your craft

[@alphabeingmusic]

can we take a minute to appreciate that slick intro?

[@StormBurnX]

I fell in love with the M4L convolution tool and even went around and gathered some of my own impulse samples in various auditoriums and such that I liked. Quite a powerful device!

[@Derpcat]

You genius, we just talked about reverbs like a day ago in your server with you😂

[@whisperfw4016]

I think im never just using a reverb plugin again, thank you so much for making these vids ❤️

[@missingpathway0]

The intro visuals are so good

[@altchannel7554]

im so happy to be this early. doing homework but this is more important!

[@andreasrosner8133]

Bass music industry must hate this guy for revealing so much knowledge

[@benjiusofficial]

For all you nerds out there who are following the narrative with dis boy, you can take it one step further: Convolution Reverb comes with a companion device called 'Measurement Device' which can generate an IR for use in the convolution. So if, say, you had a particular SerumFX chain that, say, was a delay-based effect (he's talking about Static Chorus), you could generate an IR for that effect. Another tip: you can make it respond non-linearly with frequency using the sweep function.

[@nightzzmixx]

I find it so awesome when music producers share their techniques/ideas with their fans. Like, you don't have to do this, yet you do. I can't think of any other word besides awesome. You're an awesome guy.

[@phoneticalballsack]

I don't.

[@UON]

If I start making music one day, your tutorials will be the first I go to!

[@jubayerwasidraiyan5874]

0 dislikes, THAT'S how good this guy's content is

[@daredevilofficial4100]

YES! Finally someone else who uses this technique AND teaches it in an amazing manner! I had an idea on how this technique could be possible due to the nature of convolution reverb, but I sorta kinda did not go in a specific direction with my reverb, just messing around to try to find direction and struggling to find patterns. This tutorial not only made me feel more confident that there are merits to using convolution reverb, but also that there were things I was doing on accident that I needed to take further during my experimentation due to how much potential there is with it! Big fan of your tutorials Au5 ;)

[@Znernicus]

I really like how well you explain the inner workings of effects that many of us take for granted, and manage to recreate them in instructive ways!

[@DistortionsMusic]

Extremely cool stuff from Au5 as always

[@canon5204]

I’m pretty sure the white noise vocoder thing at 10:51 is how skrillex did the cool clap thing at the end of “Doompy Poomp”

[@Tarnith]

Fun taking white noise and then throwing different filters (think modulated resonant combs) on it, automating those filters (separate mono channel per ear) and then bouncing that out as an IR

[@bliptripmusic]

Super cool tutorial! I like to reverse the convolution process to make morphing granular soundbeds. Load the melody or what have you as an impulse and use an actual impulse as the dry signal.

[@garrettnorvell]

that "woh" moment at 11:08 ! I love watching Au5 experiment!

[@ABitShifty]

I’m still trying to pick my jaw up off the floor. Ridiculously amazing!!!

[@starrybook]

Try putting a 16th note chord stack as the impulse for adding s p a r k l e to your basses

[@christopherbrown7650]

Good guy AU5 using the accessable plugins.

[@dreyo3o]

now i know how to use a convolver in many cool ways, thanks! :D

Austin u always being giving unique inspiring technique I've never known before

[@LeFnob]

I love how you can see him make the “not bad” face with the watery drum reverb

[@looksee8192]

can't wait to see you out here in Madison! hoping to meet ya

[@gokhris]

Thanks for making this! Huge fan.

[@LeFnob]

One thing I like doing is sampling a rhythmic pattern into a convolver and adding it to just about anything. Gives it a cool non-linear vibe

[@snghmusic148]

Someone knows how to make a top notch tutorial. This guy is a genius!!

[@codexstudios]

I was so confused about what Space Designer actually did. Thanks for explaining it, I'm excited to practice this.

[@shredfix1993]

You can turn pretty much anything into a pad by convolving it with white noise that has a volume envelope with a slow attack and slow release. Great content as always my dude.

[@DoctorJRx]

Awesome !! Best sound design guy on KZbin !!

[@AlexeyFayzulin]

Dude you're freaking genious !! Amazing technique

[@xX_dash_Xx]

0:20 yes, yes, i know some of these words

[@Teeh0]

Great video. One thing I'd like to point out is that Wider uses a combination of allpass and comb filters to process the signal. Your recreation sounded great, but you can definitely hear a complete reflection in it, where with Wider you can only notice some phasing effects if you're paying attention.

[@VenetinOfficial]

This is insane. I need to try this out for myself. Making basses will be so much more intense with this method..!

[@PandaPotPies]

holy shit your knowledge knows no bounds this is incredible.

[@finngeometry7570]

A new Au5 tutorial? Yes please :)

[@ClintMoody]

I'm 5 seconds in and I'm already loving it...that new intro is DOPE

[@T2Studios]

Au5 always out here with the groundbreaking tutorials how does he do it 🤔

[@tune_m]

Good stuff! Makes sense to use white noise with the fast high rolloff because it imitates actual impulse responses quite well 🙂

[@jakob1658]

What a great tutorial, I am using the Convolution Reverb since months, but I never knew that I could simply load in my own files. Thank you Austin!

[@LegitMidgetGaming]

dude, actually loved just listening to this while working on stuff, so chill and actually taught me something in the process too. Fricken love you man

[@jaussaudnicolas7486]

Really great video, like usually! You should beta test Msf and Vital. A lot of crazy possibilities.

[@AWFULJ]

This is brilliant. I hope one day we'll get to emulate dynamics and stuff just like we do with spectrum and time data. This would be revolutionary in the sound design field.

[@jakob1658]

I have a handpan (fantastic instrument, if you don't know it, you should definitely check it out) and thanks to you I had the idea the use the handpan with the Convolution Reverb as resonator of other instruments. So I loaded samples of each tones of the handpan in a Convolution Reverb. Then I grouped them parallel in an Audio Effect Rack and let every Convolution respond to the corresponding frequencies of the incoming sound. So I now have the sound of my handpan, resonating with the audio signal. It sounds really nice on a some double bass and Xylophone sounds. It's giving the sounds this really nice spherical touch, that I love so much about the handpan. Especially the Xylophone has this nice tonal resonating reverb, it also really sounds great with Saw Lead Synths and sparkly pluck sounds. It also gives drums some tonal harmonic reverb. I am really grateful for this nice tutorial, I never thought, something like this was possible. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, Austin (I really should join your sound design masterclass). Love from Germany!❤

[@KucoMatus]

Best tutorial I have ever seen!!!!!

You are a sea of knowledge. Thank you for all the experimenting and the imparting of the same.

[@causeno1048]

You magnificient magician you! I gotta get my finances in check a little more but I'm definitely gonna take that course someday. Hopefully by the end of this year. Cause sound design and mixing is where my greatest weaknesses are right now. Thanks for thiese interesting tips. It' fascinating how you have really the basics of all this stuff down. Such an incredibly inventive and curious approach you have to this stuff.

[@liorsilverstein9802]

I think Germany is for trance and techno, as England if for DNB, France for House, Russia for Neurofunk and USA is for dubstep. Real electronic music played all over the world. This guy is part of the good producers around the world

[@chrisgdawg]

Love this - never thought of creating custom impulses before!

[@regnaromusic7325]

Finally a video by Au5. Good tutorial. 👍

[@LightShard]

I would like to mention that Ozone Imager (mode 1) works in a similar way. In order: Set up a parallel chain, one dry and one with the following: Delay from 1ms to 20ms left polarity invert extract the side signal (so that you don't get anything left in mono) The dry signal is just a normal stereo width but anything above 50% (width knob) adds the wet chain, anything below 50% reduces the dry signal's sides. ie, 50% is the completely neutral state. Something I wish they'd add is a highpass so you can center the sound again. I recommend setting up a Null test to get the settings just right.

[@OfficialXeuphoria]

I love these tutorials thank you so much.

[@glimes6471]

Your tutorials belong to the best on music production 👌

[@dreamer097]

Use chunks of the song itself as the IR. Take a bar or two of your full mix, tail it out, pop it in as the IR, and drive it at 100% wetness with something like a snare which has a nice mix of distinct fundamental and full high end. Arpeggiate it over a large octave range, matching the note to whatever notes are going on in your song (ie, activating the IR where notes exist as opposed to where they do not). Filter the different components at various stages to taste. You'll probably have to take out some lows and boost some highs (at the IR stage) and add a notch filter after convolution to eliminate some natural resonance points. Great as a subtle layer of beef, space, and interest during a second chorus. Also try bouncing only the synths to be used as the IR with a short tail and use the drums as the driver. Great for a spacey build up as the drums will be triggering the same chord repeatedly.

[@DanFingermanOctopus]

What a fantastic video. I def underutilize convolution reverb, that I know now!

[@MrChamesy]

Man you always make such wholesome tutorials, thank you and look forward to more!

[@psyedk]

really cool vid man! i've been using convolution reverbs for years but never considered actually sound designing my own impulse. this is gonna be fun :D

[@NeuKatalYst]

I knew about convolution already, and have in fact recently been experimenting with Drone/Ambient impulses from freesound - convolution is invaluable in sound design (even outside of reverb), especially when coupled with other practical effects, such as algorithmic reverb, etc. Good stuff as always!

[@ar_snl]

Sick bro. I literally was watching your hypegrowl video last night again and applying it cuz my growls never sound growly. Something with the serum stock wavetables not cutting it because I follow all the steps.

[@elzurixmusic]

It's so so fun watching you mess with stuff and enjoying the results, it inspires me so much to go and just try things out by myself, personally, I think this is an underrated plugin and since in the mix tutorial about how to use them I was making more practical uses of that, and he explained me the fundamentals of it, and it was such a great tutorial, and it just prepared me to come here to the "advanced tutorial" on how to get crazy with all the sorts of things you can do with impulses, you really showed how much creativity you have, no wonder your tracks sound so unique and different from one another. I've been waiting for your tutorials! because they really help out, I'm still using the static chorus effect, the cool hypergrowl with my twist which really spiced my dubstep track and definitely the tutorial on how to design your own drums, this one was totally my motivation to go on and design my own sample pack that I am using to this day in my tracks :D Anyways, really want to see you make more tutorials like that, we're enjoying seeing you enjoying playing with buttons, so we all win ;)

[@nobosnobo]

Very cool! now i know why I don't like that plugin 'wider'

[@notbruhhhhh222]

Your Growl Tutorial Was The Best Video

[@thomasboissonneault9669]

Bro I love all your tutorials and music. Where did you learn all this information? Did you just learn it on your own or did you go to a specific school of recording arts and sound engineering? Also that vocoder stuff on the white noise blew my mind. That's an actually usable sound for a percussion or for reverb. (At 10:30) Also also, COME DO A GIG IN MONTREAL!!!!

[@artemetra3262]

try putting vinyl crackling into the convolver and then play a short bleep through it - you will get weird arhythmical (i think that is the word for that) delays because vinyl crackling is pretty much just a bunch of impulses!

[@Composer1992]

why that intro it's always sooo pleasing

Downloaded your impulse sample, click on it in browser - hear it, load it on an audio track and play - don't hear it, even if I put audio effects on it. And also it's waveform looks different from what I saw in a video :0 But the tutorial is awesome😍

[@au5music]

_neptune make sure auto-fade clips, and warp is disabled.

[@levsadohoff]

@@au5music Thank you!

[@Canonblade]

Is there any particular difference between resampling and freezing/flattening a track? Because you get the same audio signal using both ways.

[@au5music]

Freezing can take supremely longer if youre working in a large project and only want to resample a small section of time.

[@bobfrode]

I love the convology XT, espesially using the reverse on lush pads etc when that low end comes up (tough on your cpu). I rarely use the ableton convoluted reverb as u demonstrated perfectly when ableton crashed :) thx for the great tutorial :)

[@romanx3267]

[@mdh1483]

If you right click on top of EQ3, there is a field named "flat response". If you deactivate it, i experienced the clicky effect being a bit more intensive.

[@jesusaviles1909]

Bro I’m going to to steal those chords

[@ijimedia]

man your technical knowledge is just fucking insane!! thank you for sharing it with us!!

[@cero3881]

Do you know if the type of modulation that's used in convolvers limits them to know the whole sample? Because it would be cool to convolve a sound via a live mixer channel rather than an mp3, or is that just reeverb tech? A cool option for serum would be a convolver modulation type, like convolving OSC A by OSC B or the Noise OSC.

[@au5music]

Unfortunately that isnt exactly possible because this type of convolution has a time component. However spectral convolution exists - similar to vocoding. Also known as FFT morphing. And yes, I wish Serum was capable of it.

[@au5music]

[@lilwombat]

I like throwing random drum sounds in and using them on synths sometimes you get weird results. I don't know how long samples can be in Ableton but throwing ambience Foley can be cool
