I spent a year making a free plugin...

[@VenusTheory]

EDIT: Looks like we hit my goal of breaking the UVI website 😅 Beyond excited to say this project is now out and live! Huge thanks to the UVI Team for all the help, my patrons for the awesome demo tracks, and all of you for making this possible! ALSO: this whole video score (and the demo track you hear at 5:47) was done with Noctua! Noctua ► bit.ly/noctuavt

[@GordonBBB123]

It'd be dope if I didn't have to install yet ANOTHER mothership launcher to manage it and try to get me to buy their other plugins. Awesome plugin, just sad it's being used to funnel people into the UVI pipeline to buy their other software via the required launcher.

[@MrRusCrack]

link didnt work :(

[@orenparis]

yeah@@MrRusCrack

[@MACRONOne]

Thank you!

[@joelcarloaymat]

It sounds great, thank you! One suggestion I would offer is increasing the resolution of the GUI in a future update. On my 4k monitor it is incredibly difficult to read. Thank you again!

[@seanwick1076]

I’m 52 and have been teaching myself music production as a way to deal with depression. Your content has definitely fueled my creative pursuits. Thanks for all you do!

[@badgereaux]

Every day you keep trying, you win. Good on you.

[@thebicycleman8062]

Are you married and do u have children ?

[@seanwick1076]

I’m divorced. I have a son who’s 22

[@thebicycleman8062]

@seanwick1076 start a KZbin channel and record ur musical process. This will give u a whole new life of community, purpose and u will motivate many that I'm sure you have a lot of creativity and ideas that can inspire others

[@johncollins3046]

I started at 52 also. 4 years in 🔥

[@professorflitch]

I am a one-man-band, doing everything on my own. Songwriting, guitars, bass, drums, synths, mixing, mastering, graphics, everything. And the words you were saying towards the end of that video, about doing shit on our own and being capable of doing so but still maybe missing something, those words got me.

[@navarrito96]

It’s a hard choice to be a one man band, it’s not easy but satisfying.

[@professorflitch]

@@navarrito96 You are right. It is satisfying to create something totally on your own.

[@halodogydash7191]

this dude is a big reason why i keep on trying to make good music, thank you

[@tablaninja]

Same here!

[@CypiXmusic]

That is the craziest filmmaking i've ever seen for an audio software release. Thank you for your dedication

[@Beehunker]

Thought provoking, inspiring, wholesome, gotta be Venus Theory. Congratulations on the creation Cameron, and thank you very much for the free tool. You the real buckaroonie

[@VenusTheory]

My my my, the OG-est of OGs has returned haha. (for those unaware, this fella is one of my first subscribers - a true legend around these parts)

[@MadNoisy]

yay awesome 🤘🤘

[@wscvoice]

Back when I was a young man 18-20 I studied drums and percussion at a music conservatory. This was probably before most of your parents were even born. I spent my nights and weekends as a rock drummer, but in my alone time I made tapes of all forms of noise. Traffic, waterfalls, machinery, children’s voices, sirens, just about everything. I would chop the tapes and reassemble them and overdub piano, guitar, strings, whatever. I had Stockhausen and Xenakis as my electronic music mentors. Now old enough to be Cameron’s grandfather, he is my guiding star and I look forward to each video, each new music release. Bravo!

[@starletmusicvideo]

THANK YOU, Cameron, and UVI!

[@matet7772]

Thank you not only for this plugin, but all your work for what you give the community to people. I hope that you know how much you help people, inspiring, showing the best side of humanity, and above all you let them believe that maybe this world is not so fucked up. At least not as it seems to be.

[@Theckreemteam]

thanks for for foghorn too btw ! much love !

[@breehamilton5654]

I just started music production. It's a lot of work but I love music. It just makes me happy, man! I appreciate all you do to help us out!!!

[@billbrett365]

I added to Cakewalk Plugin List and now everything works smooth especially if I use a lot of reverb and let it go then compress it into a vintage distortion tube emulator usually works fine.

[@kltpurp2206]

Cam, we love ya, and I know this wouldn't be possible without UVI... but UVI? I like to be able to actually download my plugins, lol. this is the most amount of work I've ever put into downloading a free synth. I've gotten free synths from UVI before, but I never used them because the process of downloading their stuff is just IMPOSSIBLE. the download portal has crashed... Twice... Twice... the download portal... I cannot wait to use the synth, but UVI needs to revamp its entire download process, its literally killing me!!

[@VenusTheory]

Unfortunately I think the popularity of my release crashed their whole thing 😅 Hopefully should stabilize more tomorrow, I'm sure they'll ramp up their servers a bit to keep up in the morning.

[@_tion]

I'd like to buy you a coffee for your free plugin :-)

[@NickHillMakesMusic]

Cameron, You inspire me and are the reason I'm trying to get back into creating for my channel with intention. I had a ton of momentum and simply got sick of the youtube/guitar/comment/algorithm grind. I've always appreciated the effort and story and heart you put into your videos. Thank you

[@SammyHallOfficial]

Your videos are pretty inspiring too. I only recently discovered your channel and it's been really insightful.

[@MindruMusic]

This is so appreciated! As I am currently working on an album and was still looking for unique sounds to make the second part a bit more futuristic, this will do incredibly nicely! Big LIKE for innovators who set their ego aside. Consider myself to be one of those as well. As a pro tip to any producer watching.. Collaborate with people, it gets you the most amazing results and you learn so much from it!

[@BoatManBeats]

I have all but given up, and yet i seem to be drawn to your videos, as a sortof inner yearning for remedy. Thankyou. Please dont stop, your a torch bearer now.

[@sageaudio]

UVI makes great stuff, that's awesome you got to work with them (Shade EQ is 10/10) - very excited to check out the plugin (I've always enjoyed your free libraries in Decent Sampler) 👍

[@zeenagual1962]

I vote this a SYNTH OF THE YEAR !!! ... it is the most inspiring ,most amazing ,perfect .... I am still playing it for four days now ,no end in sight ~ this will become permanent feature on my DAW desktop . Congratulations , best work , One Year well spent

[@garystringa6]

Not much stops me in my tracks, but this video did. I listened, I watched and then I sat and thought a while. Sometimes this is the most important part of life - not clicking next, switching on another thing and diving into the next project bouncing and itching to make, do whatever. Just as in music silence and space can be important, pausing and reflection can be revitalising. So thank you for this gift of the moment, and a new 'toy' too. Wow, 2 for the price of 8 minutes and 25 seconds, and 5 or 10 minutes of pause. Have a great festive break and may the pause be with you (sorry I couldn't resist adding that).

[@chuckh9168]

There are the inspirational artists of my life like Numan, Reznor, etc… And then there are a whole other category of motivators and those who encourage me to keep pushing and doing. And that’s where Cameron comes in. Thank you for everything you do in helping us create.

[@robertsaunders7179]

Cameron, thanks especially to you and UVI for giving us Noctua and I have to tell you that I found your Pad Afterglow to be so beautiful. Also, I must agree with others who have commented that it has not been very easy to install and get this plugin to work and UVI should definitely look into making the installation process work in a much smoother manner.

[@briguy1960]

Cameron , as a guy in my mid 60's I want to tell you how much I appreciate what you do. If we are lucky creativity does not die as we age. Keep doing what you do. All the best from Vancouver

[@mitekillem]

"ad astra per aspera" Thank you for all of the hard work. I can't wait to check it out.

[@David-p4x8b]

I just installed this and I'm blown away!! I sampled a few different sounds and my imagination was taking flight. Thank you for the hard work!

[@darkstar9480]

Cam--- holy fuck... this is nuts. Thanks for all you do for the production/sound design community.

[@Jakeos2]

This has given me drive, drive i didn't know i needed. Hearing the journey with this is really inspirational. Thank you for making such an amazing free tool, it is MOST appreciated.

[@iknobojack]

I really look up to you and admire your commitment to artistic integrity over profits, the amount of work you put into this and other projects sets a great example for creatives

[@taaksan]

there's something to be said about how well directed this is too pull me in even further then I would already be. Same with all of your videos. Congrats on releasing this, looking forward to all your videos and work going forward!

[@mihaelbar7809]

Hey I want to tell you that I have been following your channel for quite a long time and what you do is really amazing bro in many moments of lack of creativity I found myself watching your video and being filled with inspiration Thank you for everything you do and I hope you continue like this and I'm sure it helps thousands of musicians like me🙂❤🙏

[@pressure-spirals]

The first thing that comes to me after this video is a big thanks for all the sharing, the motivation, the suggestions and the inspiration that you are giving me all these years. I really admire you (and envy your talent 😅) and i hope you will keep on doing what you do. Respect

[@kakisdrops]

I just tried this vst and it is a game changer! Thank you for all your perseverance and dedication to your project! I will definitely mention this vst in my projects!

[@DUVINDA]

Just tried Noctua, amazing and I cant thank you enough. I cant believe a plugin like this goes for free !!!

[@doug941]

I think there is a lesson in every single Venus Theory video I've ever watched! Thank you for all you do Cameron, I have learned a ton from your videos, and the crowd you draw is the best the KZbin audience has to offer! I have also learned from the comments in Venus Theory videos!

[@hjvarfjell]

Congratulations Cameron, and thank you. 😊 ❤

[@tiffanyanthony]

Wait - you’re just entering your 30’s? Holy crap! You are far beyond your years in wisdom, talent, and experience. Bravo! And thank you for this project! All of that hard work is VERY appreciated. ❤

He always complains that he's old....I have to keep telling him to shut up..... ;-)

[@JLawrence-n7x]

Thank you for your incredible generosity to make it free - I love the gritty textures and roll use it for sound design

[@fabianwolf6849]

Dude... This made me cry cuz there's a lesson and I can't put it into words. I just feel so thankful for your existence, right now. Please... Please! Please keep up the frvkn amazing work you do! ❤❤❤

[@andy-simmons]

You’re the man, thanks for sharing all your hard work!

[@VenusTheory]

Glad to be of service!

[@ionion3936]

i love yr new plug in. groovy and droney, ambient and melodic, nice soundscapes etc. original sounding and a lot of opportunity. thanks for putting in the work!

[@bmerd1969]

Wow .. using your plugin on cubase 13 Pro. It's so good. Hats off to you. Can't believe your not selling this plugin.. a very very big thank you. From the rep of lreland.🙏

[@curtissmithsound]

Damn dude, you have an incredible heart. Heart for art, for community, and for growth. The second half mindset is a powerful state of being. Thank you for sharing your growth and this tool. I look forward to using it and making "something" with it!

[@SynthoidSounds]

You are by far the most influential synth developer that has continued to inspire my seemingly endless efforts to create all sorts of compelling content. I've managed to get some plays, on various playlists in Spotify and SoundCloud, but it can be discouraging at times. There are moments of depression, asking myself why am I even doing this, but then, out of the blue, someone reaches out with some positive support, so I keep going. I've appreciated your "human interest" personal stories, as well as the synth tech content you produce . . . and many thanks for Noctua. I've been poking around with UVI for awhile, this will reinspire my interest in UVI once again.

[@ProFleer-ep4wq]

This is one hell of an inspiring video. In fact, the most inspiring vids I’ve seen from Venus Theory always combine a how-to-do sound design part while explaining how-to-use a particular instrument. If done well, these vids exude a kind of musical philosophy that defines life and the generation of meaning. Thanks, C.

[@stefanstruck5797]

Wow! Thanks a lot for making this pack available and for free. It sounds amazing! Thanks, too, for the insight/making-of and the creative challenge. Inspiring for me and I think for lots of other fine people out there doing their thing. Keep up the good work!

[@MrSkunky2009]

You are a very unique Chap.... An inspiration over the time I have watched & learned so many elements from you... Thanks for the journey !!! It's starting to pay off !!!

[@AironExTv]

Oh I‘m grabbing something put together by creativity and shared with no strings attached. It motivates me to get splotchy what I can do with this. Thank you to all involved in this project, especially you.

[@dodgedforgottenn]

Looks absolutely dope! Great sounds on the UVI promo video!

[@Arturian.music.official]

Enjoy your content, and this was no exception. What a project! I went to get it but the first link in description didn't work for me, in case it is an issue that you werent aware of. Thank you!

[@exitthelemming145]

As ever, thanks for your honesty Cameron and most importantly, in admitting you really don't know the answers to the questions you pose so entertainingly and informatively for us in these videos. I'm sure teaching is just as much a learning experience as learning.

[@CyrusAugustus]

Awesome video bro! Really interesting, I'm def gonna check out the plug-in it looks amazing.... might be just what I was looking for to complete the 2 new collaborations I'm working on rn. 🔥🔥🔥

[@StevoLloyds]

Many thanks for the early Christmas present Cameron. Merry Christmas and a HAPPY and less insane New Year.

[@LotusEater14]

Thank you for making this. Appreciate UVI for getting behind this, too. A good way to get fresh eyes on UVI products, too. Can't wait to have a good sit down with Noctua.

[@roymitchell5894]

It's so good to see you back Cameron. I was a bit concerned there for a while as the channel and life was taking its toll. It is so good to see that you have your old energy and positivity back. Thank you for the amazing gift of the fruits of your mental and physical labour. I hope 2024 goes easy on you. Peace

[@tyeblee23]

You did it....i'm inspired, im happy i watched this. The production was awesome and the sound was epic. Well done man I find this to be incredibly uplifting. thanks

[@_farpix_]

YOOOOOOO WHATTT?!?!?!?!? This whole process was freakin awesome and you are an absolute legend!!!

[@1TEDSong]

Collaboration is the KEY young man and I'm glad you found it early in life. I'm 65 and I'd say go with this mentality you have right now in your life. It's why we are ALL different, to share with one another our ideas. Time alone is important also, we need plenty of that, but yeah, get rid of the ego thing as much as you can. But keep a little for yourself, that's needed too. God Bless. and Thank you.

[@peterelfman]

I have loved all of the sample instruments of yours that I've used so far, I cannot wait to dig into this one. I'm all about adding texture to my sounds, and your libraries do that better than anything else out there.

[@getsiedrerrie]

Thanks

[@22222Sandman22222]

I've had a little bit of a lack of musical ideas lately, but I have a drive and motivation to create. This plugin came at the perfect time. From the first sounds I got out of it, I immediately felt that it's an inspiration generator. Just what I needed right now. Thank you for offering it for free, it's a gift for the community ❤️

[@abroadwin]

Thanks for keeping it real as always. Everyone benefits from your honesty about your creative process; thank you for sharing that instead of letting folks believe that the awesomeness is effortless, or that creative progress is linear.

[@musicaevita2669]

Cameron, I love this plug in, so many of the sounds are just what I just strive for, I am just resisting the urge to use them all in new tracks (without some alteration)...

[@hunterjay5141]

This is insane! Well done, this is an incredible product to share for free! Thank you for the work you do. The motivational videos are incredibly useful to me and many others Im sure.

[@yellowpopband]

Neato! Cant wait to mess around with it. I've had a lot of fun with your free plugins in Decent Sampler!

[@Kaos189]

Thanks for making it for free ❤

[@AndyNicholson]

I said it on the UVI vid, but I'll say it again here, I've messed around with paid libraries that are based on the same cinematic principles. It's rare that they're so well produced and consistent in their production that they sound as good as this one, whatever you do with it. It's inspiring, creative, coherent and easy to get good quality sounds out of. I can't believe this thing is free! Thank you and the UVI team for all the hard work, and obvious passion that's gone in to this.

[@RodrigoCoutinhoDuarte]

It because of people like you that tomorrow will be better than today. Thank you so much for your vision, effort and inspiring work!

[@laxplanet6046]

Used Noctua for the first time today. the lead sound really brought together a track I was struggling to finish. I love how easy it is to get good sounds from well done.

[@TomRValdez]

What can I say?? You, and UVI, ROCK!! Thanks all!

[@willraus85]

A really ingenious tool with its own character. Great work - thanks Mr. Venus Theory!

[@NicRowManSir]

Just know your free plugin will surely bring me and many more, many moments of joy. Can’t wait to try and surly enjoy it myself later today!❤

[@zardon409]

Congrats on what is apparently a bomb tool. Haven’t been able to do a deep dive yet because I’m in the process of finishing an album, but what I was able to get out of a couple of hours of playing around, you and the UVI team did tha fantastic job.

[@JohnMcGFrance]

Thank you so much. Look forward to trying this out. Your hard work on this and the videos you put out is much appreciated.

[@kaiowasdeath]

What you do today will “echo” throughout the history. I thank you in the name of all the future artists that will bring back the color to us using your tools that are free! Keep on keeping on.

[@BarneyRecords]

Bravo, Venus Theory! Bravo. Well, over in this part of the world (Fairport, NY), you just validated your point. I had already learned a LOT from you going back to early Mixcraft days, when I went from Pro Tools to it. I was mainly just a musician who mixed for people and wrote his own music. Now, I am working with my longtime partner Victor Pross-he's Canada's most notorious caricature painter-on a graphic novel-to-animated video project. It's a dark dystopian parody of the old Batman TV series. I literally started the trailer this week. And now this! It solves SO MANY THINGS. I love your sounds, and now....well. Thanks. UPDATE: I loaded it in this morning, and it is incredible. I think I might remove several dozen plugins, in fact. The interface is wonderful, it's all wonderful.

[@Frankaupolis]

Thank you so much for your dedication. It will be my pleasure discovering this little treasure. Cheers from MTL!

[@cefahprod]

I mean, since I started watching your video, you always inspired me to "be my best" and share with other. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and heart. Have a marvelous day

[@NateSheppard]

Holy cow, what a phrase: “Maybe ego is the ultimate killer of art, despite it being a necessary ingredient in the process.” Thanks for all you do!

[@YTHandlesWereAMistake]

Since I come primarily from pc industry and music is one of the hobbies, seeing Noctua without finishing the video in the description raised the eyebrows - just the other day I heard they don't do marketing, and don't exchange money for cross-promo/collabs, etc. Heard so from someone who directly worked with them in the past and is working currently. Naturally I went "No shot.. and how're they related?", then I read the link and saw "vt" so it finally clicked :D

[@InstantNoddles]

Fantastic work, a haunting plugin in a good way! I'm already making stuff out of the box. Insane about options and tweaking can be done. Pretty easy to use once you get it installed and the iLok thingy to work. Thanks Cameron and UVI, impressive stuff.

[@d1g1dave]

Thank you so much for everything that you do for us! It is appreciated. Have a wonderful Christmas.

[@davejohnsonmusic]

Congrats Cameron. Looking forward to checking this out. Teaming up with UVI is a match made in heaven. Their stuff is fantastic.

[@CaraLeighMusic]

Wow! So cool! Thank you for sharing your journey and inspiring process

[@wolfunplugged]

dude...1000 thanks for this true piece of art! absolutely my taste, these sounds. they are so usable and inspiring. after you have knocked out the uvi server...now I had the chance to try Noctua out! totally stunning...also thanks for the cool video and the infos about the creation process of the library!

[@PooPooPaGoo]

Playing around with it a bit. It sounds amazing! PLEASE put out a deep dive into its features and what not. That'd be a huge help. I'll continue playing around with it in the meantime. THANK YOU!

[@VIRALBEATS360]

I was finally able to check it out, last night. Great work, my friend!

Love what you do man, just downloaded it not too long ago and made a little track, adding one of the bass presets, the sounds are phenomenal, keep up the good work!

I was so excited getting my UVI workshop vst and after seeing youur videos for soo long I was hella excited to get my hands on this plug in

Making "something"", is probably the best message you put across.

Thank you, bro! For this free great plugin and for being inspiration for us!

Congratulations on a year spent very productively, and a massive thank you for spending all that time on something and then giving it to us for nothing. You're a top man.
