Scaler 2 VST Plugin Has Changed Music Theory Forever! How To use

[@AveMcree]

If you already own the original version of Scaler. It'll cost you $20 to upgrade.. Sorry for not making that clear.

[@danwilliams8450]

Thank you!!!

[@AppAxis]

$19 at current exchange rates

[@coleeason6007]

Ave are u using the advanced version or the regular

[@trujiebeats7190]

I was about to inquire about that. Nice

[@rahim4411]

Only $20 dollars from Plugin Boutique? That's cool. Going to get this.

[@davidharrington1133]

As someone with minimal music theory I can highly recommend this plugin, for the price it is absolutely unbeatable.

[@DAYDAYBEATZ]

Hell yeah, I’m experimenting with a scale locking midi device too, really easy to sound great instantly 😂

[@DamonHodgesOfficialPagePlus]

100% I agree

[@markstyles5103]

The beautiful feature about this software, and others like it.. Yeah some might use it as a crutch, but it can an incredible teaching tool.

[@DavidSmith-ne1zp]

Thrilled to have discovered your channel! Your review of Scaler 2 has certainly got me excited about the composing and performing power of this software. As a guitarist, I don’t have any keyboard chops and have minimal music theory. This software feels like a music teacher AND a session player in one! Wow, will be adding this to my toolbox.

[@livechartadvisor3033]

Damn bro ... i just started making beats again 2 weeks ago using reason and it seems like your one of the most valuable people to be following since you review these plugins ... thanks

[@digitaldiezel5870]

They should partner with Akai...and add all these features to the FORCE/MPC.

[@AveMcree]

You don't think I'm trying to make that happen? lol

[@mikeremy6236]

[@evanswanson6017]

TheoryBoard already did that

[@orlandomarinjr]

Best Idea I've heard in a long time

[@joeboo9801]

Is this compativle with mpc software?

[@bboymac84]

You can right click the play button in Scaler and it will sync with the DAWs clock

[@Mauricemukiri]

Great reaction Ave ,what caught my attention is that Midi capture feature is a complete game changer!

[@scalermusic]

Brilliant video and improvements in Audio detection happening as we speak plus some guitarist focussed features inbound! Thanks for Vid!!!

[@TunzAmazin]

They pretty much pulled what's great about instachord/scale and put it into what is great about scaler. No brainer upgrade. 🔥🔥

[@zuluripper]

I'd like to see the midi patterns within scaler as well.... like being able to bring in audio, have it analyzed and be able to have the chords in their original duration, instead of just being triggered or laid out with each note being the same length. Kinda like a mix of Ezkeys and decoda.

[@DAYDAYBEATZ]

Yeah the “playback timing” thing doesn’t fit the workflow for me, wish it was a little easier to do more complex rhythms

[@philipsgarage]

Picked up Captain Chords 2 weeks ago, and I got scaler 2 this week. I'm blown away by both plugins. I'm new to producing in the last month or so and they have both helped me immensely to get my ideas down quick.

[@dsinned9992]

Which one do you like better?

[@ChazSeamus28]

man this plugin keeps getting better and better, i have captain chords and they have alot of updates too but i dig Scaler 2 for sure, that drag n drop feature would be amazing

[@PeanutButterAM]

I bought the Captain Plugins suite a few months back. It seemed like a better setup to me. What would you say it the key difference that makes this beat Captain Chords? (I’m not opposed to buying both). 😏

[@TheManInCommand]

I purchased it when it came out, but I haven’t rocked it out yet. The charger to My MacBook isn’t working for some reason. But I’m happy you made this video to keep Me motivated.

[@Zer0Spinn]

I was gonna learn how to play for real... but maybe later.

[@AveMcree]

Still do that! I just started my piano lessons in Yousician a week ago. Thank me later

[@dtfluker1617]

@@AveMcree u started music lessons? I thought u could play. I like melodics

[@AveMcree]

@@dtfluker1617 I can play but there's always room for improvement. You can never learn enough

[@Zer0Spinn]

@@AveMcree nah, I was joking, I want those chops haha on the plus side... I'm at that point where non-musicians think I can play but musicians know I can't so I don't have to start from 0. I may go hard at it for about a year like I did with my guitar and then just have fun.

[@johncaccioppo1142]

@@AveMcree If you ever checked out Playground Sessions you might not have been impressed, but what it is is an excellent system for learning to READ music. It's a long-term process, but you'll be amazed at how fast you can progress, especially if you take the initiative to turn off the helper features.

[@geebee44]

I brought it as soon as I got it. the notice... I was early with V1. i love Plugin Boutique

[@sirnoseontheone]

My condolences to you and your family. Stay strong , and most of all, take care of yourself!

[@goaldinrox8433]

Studio One and Melodyne 5 is butter for chord detection, and more. I do hip hop/rnb. Not a piano player, but learned basic theory/playing chords in school. I would recommend learning basic/chords. Sprinkle that in with using scaler, programming via the mouse etc. When you are doing tracks for videos or at a studio what are you going to do when you don't have access to loops or scaler?

[@natura808]

- What instrument you’re playing? Me: uhmmm... Scaler 2...

[@LizzMiriBaby]

I just upgraded, it was a no-brainer for me 🤗

[@allthingscapitol7107]

Ave can I just say watching your background change/upgrade overtime is inspiring. Sub count is climbing. Inspiring. P.S. It may not be intentional but this angle where your looking at the screen actually makes it in video seem like you are indeed looking at the screen with me. lol My thoughts. Stay Blessed.

[@AveMcree]

Thank you so much

[@jktaps]

This is how I felt when I got Decoda! These plugins change everything Edit: This does much more than Decoda

[@MrDifferentTV]

I'm going to dislike cuz this video came out to fast lol jp good video.

Ave Mcree Man that capture midi is the $%?#!!!!!!

[@clintcompose]

seriously! and humaize im bout to donload and check out this new one shit

[@EHall-zj9zy]

TheHitBrainiac And once people start reverse engineering samples, loops might become a thing of the past.

[@flgangcage6313]

E. Hall what exactly do you mean by reverse engineering samples? Like how would that replace loops exactly?

[@BrashTV]

Big respect. Made a lot of tight beats. Wanted to see if I could get more out of the tool and landed here. You always come with the heat!

[@Len_M.]

Can you have Scaler 2 play through another instrument in Ableton instead of the internal ones? Edit: Never mind. Helps to RTFM. 🙃

[@ArteeSmith]

Ave Mcree I agree with this video. I have to keep checking out your videos. Your musical knowledge is where I'm trying to get too. Keep up the good work Brotha..... Artee Jess Right Smith

Ave, your Gold Bro, humble, funny, and bring the learning 🙏

[@user-lt2rw5nr9s]

I have a question. At 0:50 the file name is formatted just like the file name of the sample used in Jesus is The One produced by Kenny Beats. Is that how that company names their files, or is that from some detection software? Just curious, thanks!

[@prexst]

STOOOOOPPP Scaler was my secret man

[@tinodadon]

Plugin is so so dope. Only issue is the audio detection is hit or miss but other than that its a beast!

[@lordeowstheking]

Took today off just to cook up with it 🤣🤦🏾‍♂️ got the 19.99 upgrade from scaler one the the midi capture alone is worth the price for folks that don't have the OG. The keys-lock is dope too highly recommend

I just wish it had a built in metronome

[@siruishill4113]

I gave up on this music dream lol but I’ll still watch and support . People hmu if u need a laptop and I’ll give you my plugin serial numbers and stuff so y’all can use them lol I’m really done

[@goatman9894]

don't give your stuff up bro. Save them for later. Maybe later you'll want come back. But don't give your stuff just like that

[@lordeowstheking]

If you're just doing it for the money, attention and little fame then yeah stop doing it..

[@brianbatie6650]

I wouldn't call that real feeling. Maybe I'm just too old school, but this seems to me like auto tune for people who want to imagine themselves as keyboard artists, or like online sex, where one can see it and hear it, but only imagine how it actually feels. It cannot replace the fun and accomplishment, both physical and spiritual, out of actually learning to play an instrument, and will make every user sound like every other user. To paraphrase the animated character Syndrome, "I'll sell my inventions, everyone can be super, and when everyone's super, no one will be."

[@brianbatie6650]

@TehFinalBrick I get what you're saying, but how can one make music without understanding the nuances? It is the nuance that makes it music, the little spontaneous quirks, mistakes, and other non-uniformities peculiar to each performer, the choice of note sequences chords and sounds from a performance as musicians react and interact with each other and the listener, the sum total of unique attributes that enables you to tell the difference between say Clifford Brown and Freddie Hubbard, or Art Tatum and Oscar Peterson. Maybe in these modern times, clipping someone elses' nuances, reordering them, then claiming to make music is now valid because it can generate money, but it is for me a bit of a stretch. Again, maybe I'm just old.

It would be beyond cool for song writing.

[@jayephbee]

And being a reason user I’m scared to upgrade. But great video.

[@djTorchLive]

My Goal is to build chords off of a melody idea I may have. Will scaler be cable of doing this by simply dragging the midi into scaler?

[@TheOfficialFaL]

Do you recommend scaler 2 for none music players

[@DAYDAYBEATZ]

It’s good for creating a basic chord pattern that you then edit for your beats! It’s basically just a chord library that lets you export midi loops

[@swagonmax]

Buying this asap! big up!

[@storm3380]

That moment when someone asks you to play it on an actual keyboard tho. 😳🤔🎹???😁

[@paulwhiting1731]

Understand the sentiment but...... Years ago I used session musicians for drums and a strings part, I played guitar and piano. Was it expected that I should be able to play the drums and string parts, no of course not. Many song writers are not profeciant enough players to play any of the parts on a proffessional track. Just my 2 cents.

[@turkking11]

i love scaler 2 but im lost between scaler 2 and captain chords 5.... any idea which is better? (specifically for house and jazz genere)

[@dre1k952]

To all the people hating...you can have all the “cheat codes” in the world but good music comes from the soul. It don’t matter how you make it or what VST you use. Stop hating plz stop hating, this VST finna get bought by me.

What do you mean you're using the beta version of scaler 2? Are you implying that you aren't using the full release version that is available to purchase now? (aka the audio to midi may actually work in the full version)

[@FernandoDCDuarte]

REMIXOMITOSIS that’s where I think I fit in. While I am learning some music theory, it could be rather overwhelming and still don’t fully understand many facets of the theory and will take a while to fully understand and master. This new tool will definitely help saving time, applying practical aspects of theory concepts and also definitely help in the theory learning process too.

[@beatz04]

New features are nice, but i still don't get what Scaler's main purpose is ? Like, what is its purpose except for the Performance mode ?

[@Sesaon3]

The primary purpose for me is to work out the best chords to go with a melody I have made (and detected) as I nearly always write the melody first. Scaler 1 was OK but now in Scaler 2 with bind to and changing chord types just makes it so much quicker to find the chords that fit my melody. LOVE IT

Does Scaler deal with Harmonic Minor? I make metal - and metal uses that modified scale all the time.
