I'm just getting into Botanica and it's nice to finally see a video on it that wasn't made 7 months ago because I was getting nervous that maybe it was only a thing 7 months ago and not a thing anymore 😆

[@Gorilla7738]

Its like boring corporate music if they gave it life again, and I mean that in the best way possible lol

[@architecturaI]

Now that you say it... yeah it does have that fruitger metro feel....

[@Gorilla7738]

@architecturaI Oh yes thats the word lol

Hi i got this recommend on yt. I really needed this tutorial cause i was overwhelmed with this genre. My first attempt was just putting kshmr's foley and some impacts and call it a day. Thank you!

[@PlatinumDS]

Ma boy up with this first tutorial lesgooooooo🎉

[@pequenoreptiliano]

reminds me of some Tekken songs. Mainly Tekken 7 stuff, I think, where they blend acoustic guitar with these electronic elements and sampling. I didn't know this genre was a thing. Pretty cool demo!

5:50 you can just select the part you want to record, then press ctrl+alt+c to have it as audio.

[@architecturaI]

woah i didn't know this! i'll use it in future videos, thanks for watching!

[@DJPastaYaY]

Appreciate this tutorial!

[@Pyroific]

one of best guides i've seen on this topic so far!! thank you

[@Sakenpapier]

I’m so happy I found this video, it inspires me so much! I’m gonna get to work

[@MusicWithFreeInstruments]

[@architecturaI]

@@MusicWithFreeInstruments i've seen your videos on this a few months ago!

i have no idea what a compressor does is too real xD

[@yzyiop]

what an amazing video

[@architecturaI]

thank u sm!!!!

[@julsd6009]

damn forget the music the video itself is insanely graphically pleasing

[@architecturaI]

thank you! i tried my best even with all the mistakes i made

[@tasukuCC]

When I think about Botanica structure I see it as a Hamburger. Main instrument surrounded by tonal fx and non-tonal fx.

[@MattMobb]

Thank you for this!

[@yiwei3155]

Holy shit this is so fire

[@sonnymartinez5214]

I love this tutorial it's actually so nice to see the thought process behind this! One question of mine is I keep seeing people on youtube adjust little curves in a sound on the playlist like how you did on the pads for the swells, what is this and how do I do it?

[@architecturaI]

if im not wrong its a feature for FL21 and up, if you look at the top right of the playlist. You'll see a waveform icon, a automation icon, and a piano roll icon. click on the waveform icon, and click the icon that has two curved lines bisecting each other. And then at every sound that you drag onto the playlist, you'll see triangles on the top left and right of that sound. Just click em and drag to the desired length. these basically help make those swooping sounds for swells. Thanks for watching!

[@sonnymartinez5214]

@ thank you!

[@yb2386]

I wonder what it would sound like for an artist to sing over a botanica track

[@architecturaI]

@@yb2386 this might seem like shameless pr but i also had the same thought but tried to make it more "my style" ig??? here's the song: open.spotify.com/track/0vHMxyWGgiP4ClUBRfhUNT?si=zs6RZcm3S_SbmtFJKk-KTQ which ngl came it really good imo but yea, if i had to note another song it would stop motion picture by D'art & aquoferne: open.spotify.com/track/6YxrpNQGHDyndnBEDSxBn0?si=LJ5_3yBWR_COKI1pdCDFQg

Dat sounds cool✨✨❤️

[@believerbaeha1764]

i need that version of Lifelike in your video!!

[@architecturaI]

its just a slowed and reverbed version i made :DDD

great vid and ik this is random but can we please get the fl theme 😭

[@architecturaI]

@@dxzzydxm5518 its Nintendo Famicom, you should be able to find it in the FL Forums :D thanks for watching!

[@sosssaaa]

i tried installing spectral suite and emergence but both didnt work for me

[@architecturaI]

its ok! you don't really need them as all you'd need really is novel school supplies, any "glitch with friends" soundpack, a granulator and a vocoder. i recommended those plugins bc they are actually good for making botanica

[@sosssaaa]

@@architecturaI appreciate u bro i usually make beats but i wanna try making botanica, i have portal so ig i have at least something to work w but yea ima see how it goes i really just need fye sfx

[@prod.gravenlaw]

Emergence isn't free anymore? :(

[@architecturaI]

i think you can get the beta versions for free but i'm not sure i'll have to check on it later and add an disclaimer.

[@Jerrbling]

This seems like a Botanica tutorial or something

[@architecturaI]

seems to be 🤔

[@Stilwuf]

I am so glad pirating is a thing

[@architecturaI]

no pirate me drumkit :((((

[@RechargeKarwaDoBabu]

​@@architecturaIsorry

[@Stilwuf]

@@architecturaI i meant the paid plugins you listed at the beginning lmao there's more (good) free sample pack alternatives than (good) free plugins 😭💀

[@architecturaI]

@@Stilwuf yes sadly the best plugins are all locked behind a paywall :( but i tried my best to use built-in plugins to showcase that its possible to make botanica without selling a leg. And regarding soundpacks and drumpacks, novel school supplies and glitch with friends soundpacks are free! ^^ You don't need to buy my drumkit to make botanica, but those 2 I said earlier are perfect for botanica

[@noThankyou-g5c]

soothe2 can be free :D granted the cracked version is buggy and will crash every now and then so i suggest to only use it either to resample if ur using it for effects and at the final stage of mixing with audio only stems if you’re using it for mixing/ spectral sidechaining

[@burein_ita]

ah yes, samsung core.

[@sheec]

[@kuphead]

y this video so beautiful bru

[@moneymagick]

Keep up the work bro but guitar and piano aint percussive instruments they actually both string instruments because there is strings inside the piano being triggered by so called hammers when you press the key on the piano and with the guitar it’s obvious do your research gang bless

[@Tumblebud]

This is a little ironic considering piano is a percussion instrument 😭

[@Gorilla7738]

The Piano is percussion the guitar is string tho

[@lonelystation-pi6le]

''do your research'' stop this bro u sound like a snob

[@rockslicerr6309]

both are string instruments, but both also have quick attacks, thus making them percussion-like instruments

[@sameoldtunes7110]

pianos are percussive instruments. guitars are both a string and percussive instrument.
