[@likenicesinging]

idk how but you've made the best tutorial ever on shaperbox in 8 minutes

[@lassorb4752]

I agree, although it probably took him 100 min to make the whole video 🫣

[@TeraGreene1]

Right?! 😂❤❤

[@nikokotoulas]

I always had this plugin but never knew how much it was capable... super helpful for pianos and leads and a ton of other stuff... thank you for making this. Going to help a ton!!

[@JohnKroon]

the midi god himself!

[@kohli_virat]

Hey Guys! Niko Here

[@TonyByte]

​@@JohnKroon ​ yeah, the god of, "get 1001 midi files"! When it is really 143 of the same files transposed to every key as if you can't press the up and down arrow in piano roll and transpose your self. I fell for these kind of marketing tactics from him twice, including the add-ons. I got a refund as advertised and he banned me plus removed my email. 🤣

[@hrtbt]

do you want a synth from a piano? I got u

[@paulschmitz2352]

please dont stop putting out videos man!! i learned so much from u and acutally starting working in the music industry thank you!!

[@coreymumper2208]

YES! I have been waiting and waiting and the fact they finally added audio trigger has saved my life, having to manually do it with midi was a pain before but this has made life so much easier! Great tutorial and more importantly you made this clear enough a beginner could sort this out no problem! Its been on my agenda to make some videos for shaperbox, its truly unrivaled for creativity and such an amazing tool for many things! Unlimited potential!

[@DavidDiMuzio]

Thanks man! Love your tutorials, and this was an instant buy for me! :)

[@tunefoolery]

One of the more helpful videos I've seen on the creative uses of Shaperbox. Thanks.

[@alfasonicstudios]

Amazing stuff. Big fan of your work Z. Keep it up!

[@muralist_]

Very very good and clear tutorial on the subject. Definitely inspiring!

[@itsnopez]

Love your tuts, dude. Always get my inspiration on watching them. :) Shaperbox ftw, been a big fan for a while. No brainer purchase and V3 is even better.

[@stefdazzle3075]

[@ang2k77]

Also tried it myself.Cableguys have just done madness on this plugin.

[@joshevangelistamusic]

Big Z youre one of the most knowledgeable music producers on KZbin. Keep up the good work and I hope to see you gigging out there.

[@cameraman1003]

had to watch the beginning several times. so good

[@lbat5276]

Best production videos on the internet - I've learned so much from you dude.

[@astromekanix]

Very interesting way to create random movement and effects. Thanks Z.

[@Partz]

truly amazing man

[@boyoterry154]

When I started this video, the visual demonstration made my mind hurt. After watching the video in full, then coming back to the start, I understood what was going on. Very well explained! Good quality KZbin vid as always!

[@andivax]

Amazing. Thank you Z

[@KabMulti]

Best tuto ever on shaper box ❤‍🔥

[@DJ.Shrimp]

Big video from Big Z. Thanks, brother.

[@egorbright]

🤩🤩🤩 Best tutorial ever, many thanks for your content

[@PeanutButterAM]

Respect. Solid tut.

Allowing us to dive directly into your innovative knowledge which the top producer's are using in modern music today, dude I am blown away! "Creative Vision" Bigtime💯 Oh Yea! I'm definitely buying this plugin 😄

[@paulschmitz2352]

amazing!!! thank you so much big z

[@yaoguangtang1759]

So good! It's winter sales!

[@popcornts]

Aahh. I need this full Song. Seriously. I'll pay for that. That's god damn good. Especially the beginning

[@zenoaltea7512]

Did anybody figure out how to use this in Ableton? Love this!!

[@user-vd3if4wq6m]

Thats a great track bro, nice gelling mold thump to the whole thing

[@photicsonar]

Nice trick with the sidechaincompression! Thanks!! ❤

[@omgmitchelljones]

gold as always big z

[@piotrbukowski9566]

I'm already in love with their updated Kickstart 2, but it looks like I'll need to update my Shaperbox as well 😅

[@loungermusic]

Same. I'm thinking there's little need for Kickstart2 now, unless I'm overlooking something. Maybe it's a little lighter on CPU and quicker, but I doubt by much.

[@komodinotubesco]

I have always been a fan of ShaperBox 2, I discovered it through Virtual Riot, I am glad that they have now improved this plugin making it even more complete and with more functions

[@ndzalamangobeni6631]

You are a champ Big Z.

[@briancase6180]

I love shaperbox, but I know I don't use it well enough. In bitwig, I would maybe use an FX container and a midi modulator to select from multiple instances of shaperbox (each with a different shape, as you show), but now it's easy to do it from within shaperbox. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@ShamimJahandideh]

very useful tutorial thank you 💚

[@brionreid7316]

Before I clicked the title I was thinking: it has to be ShaperBox! My Fav

[@robbiestyles794]

This track is dope !!!

[@onceuponascale]

Very Insightful.

[@cekirdekci32]

I love shaperbox. And they did a good job with this update. I may upgrade actually

[@ChangoFrett]

8:14 *pop* I choked laughing at that edit. Great video. 10/10 before *pop*; 11/10 after.

[@METHOD-DNB]

Thanks 👍

[@Vareso]

Sick Video! 👌

[@urigeheadmot1196]

Brilliant video

[@MarcoPolux]

Hey Big Z! very cool 👍👍

[@user-vd3if4wq6m]

Triggering different filter shapes with midi is awesome. I do this with my other filters already with lfo attack release etc triggering. I get these same sounds though with my OB6 with live param modulation recording in!!! Sometimes all these plugs take away from actual music making...ending up with the same sound you would have had if you just jammed it in

[@berniehcc]

🤩🤩🤩amazing ... thaaaanks !!!

[@iamrentrey]

amazing plugin

[@yoelwww]

Awesome video, how did you learn everything in this video, by messing around or reading the manual?

[@craiggybear1807]

That sounds really cool - did you turn this into a track that I can listen to? Thanks.

[@davidopacic5329]

Could you make a video on arrangement? I feel like it will be really helpful to us and you can share some tips and tricks with us. Keep up the great work!

[@ogralphbeats4035]

Just arrange your beats like the songs on the radio

[@brendanwitherspoon5153]

Great tutorial! But where can we get the tune you made?! So good!

[@amaninthehighcastle7027]

Can i ask please how to switch to midi mode my piano in FL Studio?

[@iAmJoshC]

I don’t really understand the setting , I mean, this is a perfect tutorial but sadly I don’t have the same DAW to actually follow exactly every step (setting the sidechain etc ). I have FL :/

[@alexilaiho68]

I don't have the sidechain option at the top of the plugin screen either. Using Cakewalk

[@le-berry]

You made this plug-in worth ten times more my eyes are opening

[@alexilaiho68]

What if you don't have the sidechain option at the top of the plugin screen?

[@live_for_dixit]

They'll win the plug-in of the year for fcking sure

[@sha3439]

You are genius man, i can only do sidechain with that whole thing

[@CFox.7]

how do I set this method up in Reaper i wonder ?

[@PAAYNE]

So nice bro, i really like the piano melody tho. Are you going to use that in a song? YOU SHOULD!!!

[@medli2608]

Does anyone have any tips on how to side chain with midi on ableton? I was trying to use this time stutter effect for this chorus on a melody but I don’t know how to just activate it. I get it all side chained and get the note for it but it doesn’t work

[@itstobitan]

Fuck! You killed it once again! Great tut! ;-)

[@CFox.7]

it didnt even sound like a piano in the first place - and the amount of white noise in it was very very high

[@benking8610]

What are you using for bass in this track?

[@iamemilhogberg]

That's a craaaaaaazy plugin

[@partlysimpson5154]

Is it good for side chain?

[@thugtrippin]

holy shit I can't believe I got this so cheap on a Black Friday sale, so glad I got it

[@m_jasionowski]

Thank you :)

[@lens8933]

wonderful

[@djt]

thank you. So helpful

[@elaute1]

thanks for making this vid, Z! .......pumped version 3 has arrived.....use SB 2 all the time....some great new features. this is a great video to show the new udpate's innovations

[@SimsFreelancer]

Do I need LFOTool from Xfer if i have ShaperBox3 ? Or do they both the same thing?

[@richardvanenteren2745]

At the end of your video you hear a very cool beat. Is that a piece of a track of yours or just a piece for this video? Incidentally, I also thought the Shaperbox tutorial was very cool🤗😉😎.

[@jamesangell6027]

The best!

[@TonyByte]

How do you set up this same midi situation on Ableton Live?

[@Cableguys]

See our guide here: www.cableguys.com/midi-trigger-in-ableton-live.html

[@lawinter1949]

I use Duck By devious machines for audio triggering. This does for sure take that to the next level. I do think that Infiltrator is a much more powerful plugin all around though.

[@1998Cebola]

They have very little to do with eachother. Use them both massively for bery different things

[@07BLUESTI]

I just bought it after watching this but I can’t figure out how to download it… Like I’ve done this a 1000 times but can’t seem to get it logged in 20 different times where do I go after I buy it on their site?

[@alexmendes4897]

🔥🔥🔥

[@namos9474]

in what program this is?

[@RichardRosiles]

gold.

[@FerryRemix]

Hey mate, is it possible in Ableton as well?

[@AutPen38]

Shaperbox runs in Ableton and FLS and other DAWs. It's a VST plugin.

[@tredfxman]

Only bought the Volume Shaper, coz thought thers tons of other plugins iwanna spend cash on. To be honest i prefer using the free A1TriggerGate by Alex Hilton for most Sidechaining. It is my NR1 GoTo tool which is Invaluable used in every single project i make !!! But sometimes if i need something more dramatic i use Volume Shaper.

[@chrisllopis00]

I can't get this to work in Ableton 11. There is no audio coming through. Is there a guide somewhere?

[@Cableguys]

See our guide here: www.cableguys.com/midi-trigger-in-ableton-live.html

[@MrMallum]

Try Infiltrator 2 by Devious Machines as well. It's truly mind blowing. I use it on everything....

[@nikokotoulas]

YOO the C# to D... this is legit at 4:50...

[@molshire5749]

6:21 I feel attacked..

[@shinyisshiny7780]

infiltrator is this with more.

[@JoshuaTMagee]

Heh, the box has a D in it. Thank you for the great tutorial, as always! I'll see myself out...

[@mrbieler1]

Ur the best

[@NigNog]

How do you do this in FL Studio?

[@NigNog]

@@LuCa-gw4ch I love FL, but holy fuck... They absolutely need to give us ease of sidechaining features like Ableton has....

[@NigNog]

@@LuCa-gw4ch it do. I found a vid: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYe5cpeAjaqBaqM

[@enryoki]

you should finish this one btw :)

[@Sam-cb4kp]

how do you do the sidechain send start bitt in ableton?

[@Jvssvl]

Exactly my question. I don't get any sound when I route the audio as side chain to shaper box.

[@Cableguys]

@@Jvssvl Make sure to activate the sidechain button (that one of the three buttons next to "Audio"). And it could be that your sidechain level is too quiet; click the Setup icon next to "Audio" to adjust trigger settings. For finding out how to route audio in your DAW, see our tutorials here: www.cableguys.com/shaperbox-tutorials.html#sidechain

[@Jvssvl]

@@Cableguys Yep tried both suggestions but still no sound from the plugin as Big Z is getting @1:50. Cuz Live doesn't have Instruments tracks, I created a MIDI track and put SB3 on it.

[@Cableguys]

@@Jvssvl Take the channel that has the audio that you want to process and add ShaperBox there. Then route the channel that you want as trigger source to the sidechain input of ShaperBox.

[@Jvssvl]

@@Cableguys This is it. Worked like a charm. Thank you very much for assisting and actively engaging with your customers.

[@Mix3dbyMark]

nice

[@BigZBeatZ503]

Sick name bro 😂 we should do a colab. Big Z x Big Z 😂

[@marcinkozlowski2880]

👍👍👍

[@aaronbazil]

Maaaan, RC20 and SerumFX modules should have... you know what, every VST or AU should be MIDI control capable at this point.

[@MarcoTwellmann]

wtf - the piano already sounds like a synth? i'm confused

[@marceloribeirosimoes8959]

Man, forget about piano... Wha5 kick and bass duo is that???!!! :-)))
