How I Use Kontakt As A Sound Designer

[@MattStevens9824]

OMG thank you guys. You're all just generous and awesome. I'd stack things up in Reformer Pro and Weaponiser but I can see how efficient it can all be on Kontakt. Thank you!

[@AftertouchAudio]

It is a perfect addition to the Kronos stuff.

[@MarioGodoyMusic]

Been using Kontakt for years and didn’t know about the dragging below the keyboard trick!

[@AftertouchAudio]

Hahahaha, Same here, it was something I've learned recently actually. I sometimes make these short videos so I can come back to them later and re learn easier workflows haha.

[@TheSoundFXGuy]

You cheeky bastard. This is phenomenal!

[@AftertouchAudio]

Lots more to cover =^.^= Glad you liked the video :)

[@federicovidalraffo9419]

This is so handy, thank you very much for the content! How can I get the Edward Ultimate Plugin? Thanks again!

[@T0NYDADON]

saw that solid state logic jawn and instantly thought it was a SP-12 😂🔥. I was like yooo! Great video though bro 💪🏾

[@AftertouchAudio]

Ah yes, the dog hair covered SSL UF8. Love the controller haha. I'm glad you enjoyed the video =^.^=

[@mickehog76]

Didn't know you could do this. I really need to learn Kontakt.

[@AftertouchAudio]

I literally use Kontakt on every project. It is so powerful for simple tasks, but can also handle the complicated stuff. Just depends on how much time you want to spend learning the software.

[@vidworxsfx]

Great vid, nice quick tips in this one very useful indeed!

[@AftertouchAudio]

I can't tell you how much Kontakt has sped up my workflow. If you are the only Sound Designer on your team and can't afford a dedicated Foley team this is a perfect way to edit foley.

[@dannytofemg7557]

Game changer man, really cool video!

[@AftertouchAudio]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video Danny =^.^=

[@sparxx53]

My samples don't always trigger and can't work out why. Using with bullet whiz bys

[@PufftasticJames4]

There's also other samplers to use for sound design like MachFive, UVI Falcon, Izotope Iris, etc. You could also use an old school samplers like Kurzweil, E-MU, Roland, etc.

[@AftertouchAudio]

Samplers are samplers, they are awesome tools to use to help speed up your work flow. I personally just us Kontakt and UVI as I know them the best but really any sampler is a good sampler

[@artbarner]

Damn that's so fast and efficient, thanks for that! Awesome job :)

[@AftertouchAudio]

It can get even faster =^.^=

[@captainminecraftist]

quick question. At 2:17 why did you do round robin and then cycle random. Why not just cycle random. Idk what the round robin is doing it seems contradictory to be able to add multiple of those.

[@AftertouchAudio]

Round Robin just gives the group the ability to cycle through groups, then turn on random so it is not a constant cycle through the same set of samples (1-2-3-4-5-6) vs (1-4-6-8-2-3-7-5-4--5-2-4-6-9-7)

[@upstony2861]

hi tyler,thank you for your vedio.can you recommend kontakt libs you use? i know kontakt with it virtual instrument, play well in music production.But so many instrument that i don't know which ones to download(I have limited hard drive space),so please recommend some libs that you use in your workflow,thank you very much.

[@AftertouchAudio]

Edward Foley I use a lot, 8Dios Hybrid Tools I use quite a bit, and there are a few other cinematic libraries like Hans Zimmer Drums, & Damage I use to beef up my sound designs. With all that being said though I mainly use Kontakt as a sampler and I use my own samples with it (similar to how I did in this video).

[@upstony2861]

@@AftertouchAudio Thanks again for replying to the comments,thanks for sharing. Ableton live's sampler does not seem to be able to achieve such a function. I have been looking for your method of processing, which is very useful.

[@UltimaRedFireEskimo]

Man you just saved me the $500 or so I was thinking about spending on Radium lol. Amazing video

[@AftertouchAudio]

Hey Daniel! Glad I can help. I might make a few more of these on advanced uses of Kontakt, setting up velocity layers, more advanced round robins, naming conventions, etc.

[@UltimaRedFireEskimo]

@@AftertouchAudio I'd definitely love to see that! The channel that keeps on giving :')

[@christiantl6570]

Absolutely incredible. That allows for such a fast workflow! I checked your website and found the free winds SFX library, but will that Underwater Bubbles one be available for purchase at all? Thank you again for sharing this video!

[@AftertouchAudio]

The water SFX library will be available for purchase. This year there will be A LOT of new SFX libraries coming =^.^=

[@Vivi-gh1rr]

Thank you so much!

[@AftertouchAudio]

You are very welcome.

[@davidbundgaard]

This is amazing, just started out with noise production after a life long dream. How would you take those sounds into a wav and use them for your game or UI? Where would i get more learning documentation?

[@AftertouchAudio]

Native instruments has a wonderful manual and it is where I learned all this stuff from =^.^=

@@AftertouchAudio you put RTFM very politely haha 😂

[@estivensg]

Amazing!! What other program can do that same?

[@AftertouchAudio]

Any sampler can do the same, I just use Kontakt as it is what I know. Ableton Stock Sampler is really good, I was using that for a while as well. The Cubase Stock Sampler is also very good.

[@estivensg]

@@AftertouchAudio Perfect, thanks so much for your help! I love your channel.

[@tuantranproduction]

What kontakt libs do you use?

[@AftertouchAudio]

Depends on what area of Sound Design you are talking about really. I use a lot of 8Dio's Hybrid Tools libraries, Edward Foley Collection, Boom Library Feet, UVI Feet Library, Han Zimmer Percussion, Dammage, 8Dio Supercluster, and a bunch of stuff I've created.

[@tuantranproduction]

@@AftertouchAudio thx alot, bro!

[@cactuzzsound]

We use Edward on a daily basis, but I never tried to make my own instruments. I'm still a Kontakt noob, thanks Ty!

[@AftertouchAudio]

I love the Edward Foley collection. It is 100% apart of my daily workflow but being able to map your own samples is just the beginning=^.^=

[@TijnvanGimst]

This shit is so tasty
