Distortion: Advanced Techniques - Sound Design Theory (+ Ableton Racks)

[@EdmasterBBX]

Babe wake up new Woochia video just dropped

[@Woochia]

Hahaha 🤣

[@TechnoTracks]

This is one of the best music production videos I've seen in a long while. Thank you so much!

[@csg222]

Yes it is!

[@joelp2201]

This is one of the best audio production videos I've seen... So much information. Wow!

[@q_yrko9067]

great video! all things I "knew", but it's so clear and systematic, I really needed that because I struggle organize my sound-design sessions. thanks for that

[@omnidivergence9846]

Great content as always. Great work on this channel.

[@piggosalternateaccount4917]

Criminally underviewed, such wonderful presentation

[@MusicProducerrr]

The goat is back 🔥🔥

[@Woochia]

Haha you're kind!

[@isberry4248]

Very good video, it would be great to see more related to the subject, now I understand much better how to apply the distortions. Thank you!

[@onedarkside4830]

Another awesome video. Thank you ❤🙌

[@toml6535]

I recommend distribute two ranges as: 1-127 and 0-126. When It's 0-127, at the edges you will still have a mixture of 2 chains instead of a solo chain.

[@Woochia]

Sounds like a good tip, but on which parameter? On the chain selector to make the dry/wet knob?

[@zezemain]

@@Woochia Right, whenever you make a crossfade between 2 chains, they should be distributed as mentioned so that 0 value is fully Dry (i.e. the first track has 100% loudness) and value 127 is fully Wet (or whatever the second track is will be 100% loud). I learnt this method from Ableton themselves, they use it in their factory effect racks. I just unfold their drum racks, audio effect racks etc. to see how they built them. If you set both tracks to 0-127 range, in this case macro knob turned fully left or right will still have a mixture of 2 chains, as if you load up a Reverb device and at 0% Dry/Wet it still has some reverb.

Whenever I hear the person doing the tutorial has a European accent my ears perk up, already know I’m gonna learn something new

[@Woochia]

Haha, thanks I guess. I hope you learned something indeed :)

[@giacomocarpinelli00]

what is the oscilooscope you are using ?

[@_CRiT_hits_]

You may do this now, but instead of using auto pan to re-add "fake" dynamics you can use a compander set up to keep the original dynamics

[@DBTHEPLUG]

Everything you do in your DAW is fake. There are no real dynamics.

[@clement6180]

Do you know how to make acidcore like screeches ? like what enko or acidpatch make

[@TechnoTracks]

The racks don't work for me on Live 11.2.7. I get "The preset cannot be loaded. It is probably broken".

[@Woochia]

I just checked the version I have. I made it in Live 11.3.4. I'll try to check on another computer with an older live version but I'm assuming that's where the problem comes from :/

[@TechnoTracks]

@@Woochia ah I see. Thanks for taking the time!

[@nitroanilinmusic]

Not sure if I get it, but wouldn't the band subtraction work just fine if you used a notch filter on the wet instead of doing the phase shenanigans? I'll assume Live's Auto Filter lacks a notch.

[@Woochia]

You mean use a notch filter to remove the frequency you distort on another channel with a band filter ? Theoretically, if the notch and the band filters can compensate each other, but to affect exactly the same a frequencies in the most clean way, the phase inversion trick is the way to go (Ableton's auto filter does have a notch filter). Though it's possible I haven't understood your question clearly.

[@clarahernandez4416]

Wow 🤩❤

[@Woochia]

Wow toi même 😍🥰

[@manuelgonzales6483]

🎉❤

[@veritas7010]

Now theres a roar module in ableton 12

[@Woochia]

Yes, seen that. Haven't tried it yet but it looks very cool to have a new distortion plugin

[@kirillreznichenko1431]

Thank you for course! It was interesting but this video isn't helpful for me. Difficult techniques. I do rnb music so I don't watch full this video, but thank you again for course

[@David-wx5po]

It's not that complicated

[@Woochia]

Anything can be made simple once you get it :)
