Introduction to FabFilter Volcano 3

[@RaffaeleSansone]

My favorite part was when he crafted an entire drum kit from white noise. Absolute mad scientist

[@nsjx]

i aspire to that 😖🤘

[@cyberhawken]

How do you think synthesised drums are made? hehe

[@FilipKillanderMusic]

That was awesome. Mick drop vibe

[@Tekkerue]

Check out Dan's "I won the loudness war" video on his channel for mad scientistry taken to the extreme. Dan is the G.O.A.T!

[@KnzoVortex]

@@cyberhawken Usually with the aid of oscillators in addition to filtered noise, tbh.

[@zwsh89]

“You probably didn’t expect to find compressor presets in a filter plug-in… but you’ve been listening to this one on the mix buss the whole time!” Mic dropped. I love when Dan leads the audience somewhere, and then in a twist, reveals that we’ve already been listening to proof of a controversial point. There were several of those in this vid

[@daftdj123]

can't beat Dan, he's the best

[@Tyrell_Corp2019]

Yeah. Upon repeated viewings the many Russian dolls reveal their faces. Notice how the video here starts with the 'drums'. Love this guy. I've learned so much from him and still know nothing. All hail Dan!

[@zwsh89]

@@Tyrell_Corp2019 hahaha yeah, I will admit that this all happened a year ago, and I purchased a copy of this plugin at the time, and have since opened it up on almost every mix at least once, went “what am I supposed to do with this again… how does it help me..?”, got overwhelmed by all the features, and end up not using it. Learned so much from him but still know nothing is a perfect summary! I need to watch this guy do a step by step full mix from dry inputs to complete production!

[@Tyrell_Corp2019]

@@zwsh89 Yeah. It's overwhelming for sure. Keep plugging away. It's all we can do ✌

[@slayabouts]

As always, Dan somehow makes a plugin demo video be more educational than some of the other youtubers intentionally trying to teach you something

[@joelybarish4618]

An actual informative vid from a knowledgeable audio pro instead of useless YT wannabe's that other companies stoop to using. Kudos to FF for recognizing the difference!

[@mellowords]

For real. Dan is basically capable of fully composing music with just plugins and any possible sound source

[@russell_szabados]

“I bet you didn’t know you wanted a tube powered wah…” There’s so many things I didn’t know I wanted before FabFilter and this channel’s killer plugin introductions & tutorial videos. Thanks Dan!

[@musicman8942]

Is that wah preset from FF or did Dan create that?

[@exe4156]

as a musician struggling with medical issues; your videos help, inspire, and totally drive me to continue to try to create music. Thank you Dan. I honestly wouldn't be alive today if it wasn't for people like you. The few who can see the invisible.

[@vdub4216]

There's the 'voice of trust' back again to blow our minds. Great job as always Dan and Fabfilter, thanks for continuing to develop your status as world leaders. How can you not love these plugins.

[@switchmastah]

Dan the mad man. Jeez didn't t really think I needed this plugin but this man just changed my mind. Give him his commission.

[@Tamko_Music]

Yeah, it always works this way with Dan :)

[@n.k.9964]

Whitesea Snakeoil: what is this, I don't have a clue...oh...a filter. Might be useful for mastering. Dan: here's a whitenoise, turned into a beat.

[@Augnos]

Anytime I see “snake oil?” in the thumbnail, I’m so completely turned off from watching that video. I don’t care if he has good content or not.

[@bongos7821]

a little harsh, White Sea attacks the plugin like any of us would so its informing to me

[@n.k.9964]

@@bongos7821 Let's put it like this: If I put (for the sake of clickbait) the label "snake oil" to everything, even if I don't even understand, what the plugin is about (happened not for the first time), I need to be prepared to get comments like above. And to put this straight: nothing personal here, he is just doing his job I guess.

[@irbomusic]

This is literally the coolest demo for any plugin ever

[@MartinMillerGuitar]

Amazing levels of insight and creativity. You got quite the guitar chops, too, Dan!

[@zwsh89]

I just watched the volcano 2 video yesterday, it’s 11 years old. I was soooo happy to see that Dan made the sequel all this time later, I can’t imagine anyone else teaching me as much in as short window

[@theman964]

one of the best things in life is to open youtube and find a new Dan Worrall video, thanks so much Dan for making the world an interesting place, i swear i am not over exaggerating, one of the few things on the planet that make me happy is you, thanks you so much man for sharing your wisdom with us, its not only audio or music, wish you all the best, love and respect from Egypt, thanks fabfilter for the next level plugins as usual, keep leading the way, cant wait for more, what a Legend.

[@kelklassify]

Dan is a Musician, a producer, a mix and mastering master. He gives the world audio lessons. Bravo.

[@D10110Gathering]

Dan is the man. Could listen to him talking about tea bags. Would probably buy them as well.

[@americanskeptic1559]

One night with the bundle and 2 KZbin videos and I'm blown away. First vst that's actually improve song quality in 11 years

[@Rakoah]

Fabfilter at it again with another beauty of a plugin!! You guys deserve all the moneys! Take it all!

[@PierjanVadeboin]

Dan is the only teacher that helped me make progress ! He is the only one on youtube that explains you how the tool works instead of showing you some very specific examples !! To me, he is the smartest human in the whole audio production industry ! He is the king of audio !

[@makeaguitarnoise]

How about a separate video showing how you synthesised those drum sounds? That would be grand.

[@000aleph]

I second that

[@realraven2000]

[@zsteinkamp]

I wrote about how to do it in a comment here. Maybe there are other ways?

[@ricamosca]

That's a must! Love to see that.

[@EarlyMist]

I quad that

[@RealityShiftUK]

This is such an underrated plug-in ! I use the tube setting a lot for a filter sweep and a trance gate which is nice as well

[@VINISAMPLES]

I just bought this, and I'm really loving it.

[@MultiMam12345]

When the tutorials are just as brilliant as the plugins themselves. Even with some subtle humor added. Open hats off to you Fabfilter crew

[@qlyde]

This is insane, brilliant and it sounds stunning. It's one of those plugins that you almost have to learn like a synth to really reach it's potential and not spend hours tweaking. But I have high hopes for anyone who masters the workflow with this plugin, it could be a game changer.

[@colaboytje]

Yep, it's just so complex, that it deters me. I don't want to spend hours tweaking. I do that before recording

[@ThreeBeingOne]

On it. The payoff here is absurd.

[@joecm]

Incredible tutorial as always. Props to Dan and props to FabFilter for employing the industry's best marketing strategy

[@Unibabble]

I think I just learned about 15 ways to use a creative filter plug-in that I never thought of before. Fantastic sounding plug and outstanding tutorial. Mind blown.

[@MscMan.]

Ngl, this is one of my all time favourite videos on youtube

[@handoromper7987]

There's nothing even close FabFilter on the market. And what puts FabFilter ahead of the rest is Dan explaining in detail yet very simply what and how to do it. Other companies need a Dan. Great video already bought it. 👍🏻

[@Zadagu]

Dan does make videos for other companies too. Tokio Dawn Records for example.

[@dwaynedelario]

Fabfilter is, hands down, the most innovative AND utilitarian developer of all time, at the same time. COLLECT THEM ALL

[@thefiddle2958]

You have some crazy audio engineers in your team. Keep blessing us with your overpowered software

[@zsteinkamp]

For anyone wondering how to actually do this "MIDI-controlled filter in front of white noise" in Ableton Live, here's how to do it (or ONE way to do it at least!): 1) Create a MIDI track with some synth making white noise. I use "Analog" and just turn off OSC1 and OSC2 and turn on the Noise. 2) Add Volcano 3 to that MIDI track. 3) Create a MIDI track and add the "External Instrument" effect to it. 4) In External Instrument, send MIDI to your first track with Analog + Volcano. 5) ... 6) Profit! You can add a MIDI Source to the modulation section and choose "Key Tracking". You can add an Envelope Generator and choose MIDI input (top button to the left of the envelope display). This is a fantastic plugin! Kudos to the product and dev team behind it!

[@silversulu]

There’s no actual Dan, just that calming voice navigating unexplainable tech :)

[@agentCopyMusic]

Damn it! I promised myself not to buy any more plugins this year, but I can't say no to this!

Dan the man! Now this is a quality showcase 🚨

[@imperiummusicrecords3365]

[@NACHECHAN]

Dan THE MAN. You could sell ice to eskimoes with that sweet voice sir. Looking forward to getting my hands on this beautiful eruption of a plugin

[@wezlam]

I watch this whilst continuously shaking my head slowly, and smiling.

[@IconOfSin]

Logged into Fabfilter yesterday thinking I'd buy either Volcano or Timeless... Saw the offer on my homepage and am now the proud owner of every fabfilter plugin. Really looking forward to getting stuck into this one

[@mandu9520]

Volcano and Saturn have been my go to plugins for a long time. So much creative potential when combining these two.

[@vidarhjal]

Okay guys, I thought I will miss the plugin but now I checked the price...with my educational discount and the black friday sale (and probably considering that I already own so much more of your plugins) I only have to pay 19,07€! This is so generous and so nice of your company, how you reward returning customers.

[@Zadagu]

Completly blows my mind. You can probably recreate most effects using this single plugin.

[@teko5773]

THE WHITE NOISE EXAMPLES YOOOO! That was crazy. Gonna have to try that myself when I get Volcano 3

[@g-love6507]

Honestly - I'm try'n to wrap my head around all the capabilities that this thing can do... gonna have to watch this video several times just to scratch tha surface ! Alls I know is "WHAT" ! This thing is impressive... I'm convinced !

[@vitaliistep]

Dan and FabFilter team never cease to amaze me! Thank you!

[@ronson795]

Often you reach for eq and saturation based effects while mixing certain tracks. with this you have it directly build in and have the possibility to choose different flavors and modulation and stereo madness as well. This could replace Pro-Q3 followed by Saturn in some places.

[@FelixCarcone]

Exact same feeling I have since yesterday ! So effective it’s scary

Out of all the videos this one surprised me the most of what it’s capable of. As in wow, that’s amazing. And initially I wasn’t even interested in it.

[@LC-yo3bj]

Dan Worrall is a complete fuckin genius. And FabFilter is a world class software company. Aboslutely incredible development from FF and hats off to Dan for showcasing software better than anyone I've ever seen.

[@BillyBanter100]

Many thanks for another exceptional walk thru from Dan. Wow! what useful plugin for any production. I thought Pro Q 3 was the be all and end all. Seems I'll have to add Volcano 3 to my collection. A brilliant addition to the Fab filter line up.

[@zwsh89]

Respect for the science of acoustics really let’s you see tools in new creative ways, it’s led fabfilter to come up with some ingenious filter features, and it’s led Dan to a better understanding of the potential of Volcano 3 before its launch even happens than most of us will ever have

[@tz4601]

I've actually been demoing Volcano 2 for the past few weeks. It does WAY more than I thought a filter plugin would be able to do. The included modulation options really set it to the next level, besides the amazing sound. The presets do a great at showing off what is possible with it, i.e., way more than this pleb thought. To the point where I'm actually genuinely considering spending the dough for it, which I guess is why demos exist...

[@TheFactoryOfMusic]

Just a reminder that Dan Worrall has won the loudness war

[@thobydavis7649]

Mate I love these videos! Absolute class in production, skill and presentation! I just bought the creative app bundle on iOS and I’m excited about taking my music production to the next level!

I used to take an instance of serum for that matter, never tried it with white noise but rather a sine wave. BUT... great video, I'll definitely try that one out.

[@hv3003]

TNice tutorials was so detailed! Great video for beginners. Thank you!

[@Beatsbasteln]

ha, using this as a compressor was one of my first ideas when i saw the envelope follower, filterstyles and drive knob. finally a moment where dan couldn't surprise me. unlike the part about the whole drumset being synthesized from noise. those drums really didn't sound nearly as crappy as i'd expect filtred noise to sound like. they didn't even sound bad at all

[@j.veroni]

Thanks FabFilter. As ever, Dan keeps things exciting!

[@TerenceKearns]

Dan Worrall is such a good speaker, he can make you feel like you're a chump if you don't go ahead and grab whatever it is that he's promoting. "I just made an awesome sounding drumkit out of white noise, and yet you would question buying this thing? What more must a plugin demonstrator do to please you???" I kinda feel bad that I've just watched this video but haven't purchased it yet. Seriously though, Fab Filter does keep churning out some spectacularly unique stuff.

[@pico5631]

Yooo I just searched for this a week ago Volcano is a great plugin, such a versatile and clean filter

[@jazzmastert]

Great video from a hugely intelligent and artful expert.

[@bjamminsincebirth3494]

That audio enhancer setting is spectacular

[@jrileyhill]

It's great as a creative filter like the previous versions, but the way this can be used as a tweaky colourful EQ is just so so so good and useful like Dan says. Something I didn't know I needed but wouldn't want to be without now.

[@kenporter6059]

Simply amazing! Instant buy (upgrade) like every FabFilter plugin! Hope all or most of these features will be included in Twin 3. It will be the best synth out there... hopefully soon!
