New Vital Sound Design Tricks (2023 Updated!)

[@flaw_]

sick ideas, thanks

[@mysticartsmelodies]

Let's gooo, glad it helped bro!

[@cliveconcept]

Nice !

[@mysticartsmelodies]

ayyy glad it helped!

The delay effect could also be assigned to a slider or knob on your MIDI controller. That way you can have the effect added when you want, instead of continuously. 😉

[@mysticartsmelodies]

Yep, macros are powerful for automations. Wonder if a "assing to random macro" hot key would be a cool feature 🤔

[@dasgoods]

I'm just getting into using Vital (mainly because I cannot afford Serum) and these tricks really help a lot.

[@mysticartsmelodies]

Thanks bro, I'm glad they are! I'll make some more tutorials on it and maybe how to use it make a full song! What genres you like?

[@LiMiNAL_]

Aye man I wouldn't worry about being able to afford VSTs. Buying Serum doesn't magically give you an understanding of why your sound design works the way it does nor the ticket to being a mastermind producer, and there are so many free/stock avenues to travel that I haven't run out of new things to make with basic tools a full 14 years after I started. I've had vital under my belt since launch and if I'm being completely honest I love what I have so much I haven't even updated it recently. Think of it this way homie, vital is just a 3xOSC with the flexibility of a contortionist. I'm sure you've seen Massive, same damn deal. If NI Massive was as flexible as this free instrument back in the day I'd be light-years ahead of the pack. Use THAT energy 🤘

[@mysticartsmelodies]

@@LiMiNAL_ yah this is facts, people like serum because it's been out a long time and there's a ton of tuts but vital is insanely powerful and virtually the same as serum, vital just had a slightly different workflow, I always say this analogy but who would win.. a baby with lightsaber or the master with a plastic spoon? Although the baby's tool (serum) is powerful, it doesn't stand a chance against someone with knowledge of how to wield a sword. The matter will win. And of course, give the master the lightsaber and it's game over for everyone 😂

[@LiMiNAL_]

[last note, sorry I know I wrote a lot] If you find yourself feeling uninspired by the sounds you know, just take my word that you're far closer to the next discovery bringing another technique/concept than you realize. Never blame the tools, if you're growing they'll grow with you!

[@mysticartsmelodies]

Ayyy let's goo - always just try to break shit. That's how I figure these things 😂

[@DrewParks410]

Cool ideas / vids, also where did you get that skin it looks so sick lol

[@mysticartsmelodies]

I made it myself broooo but I'll share with u, see description for producer freebies, it's under skins zip folder fam! It's still a wip so I'll keep it updated as I update the skin!

[@mysticartsmelodies]

I made a vid on how to make custom skins also, u can check that out too if it would help with installing them*

[@DrewParks410]

@@mysticartsmelodies Hell yeah man thats awesome ill check it out appreciate it!

[@itsrazing]

[@mysticartsmelodies]

See the vid description and check out the producer freebies link! It has this and other skins too! If u need help with installing them, I have a vid on my channel on how to do it also bro!

[@fallenleaf24]

Love vital, but for me MacOS M1 it’s crashing Logic.. All the time.. It’s killed my love for this synth

[@mysticartsmelodies]

Hmm, I've not had this issue personally.. maybe others have had Id though - try checking Reddit

[@fallenleaf24]

@@mysticartsmelodies Its vital doing it & sadly unless its updated & fixed then its not as fun to use for me. I have go days & not have a single crash.. the moment Vital is loaded its a ticking time bomb xD But it's been over a year since its last update. Mac OS has had 3 big updates. Logic has had a major one! Vital is still the same. :(

[@LiMiNAL_]

You know why you don't hear people talking about cool vital tricks? Because we wanna keep that shit to ourselves. 😈😉

[@mysticartsmelodies]

LMAO 😂 your comment got me haha 😂 - we gotta propagate new tricks broo 🙏

[@LiMiNAL_]

​@@mysticartsmelodies I'm literally staring at vital right now, you reminded me that I meant to put some crazy pitch mapping ideas to practice.

[@mysticartsmelodies]

@@LiMiNAL_ bro, set warp mode to rand amp, automate with with LFO, maybe play around with the osc pitch and then run all that through pitchmap, ooufff. Color Bass barf 😂😂

[@LiMiNAL_]

@@mysticartsmelodies all the macros. Use all the macros. I literally tried to make some trash sounds the other day by overloading every parameter with every other parameter it'd allow me to and I still ended up with something miraculously coherent. Like how do you fuck up with this?

[@LiMiNAL_]

@@mysticartsmelodies I'm working on live 10 lite rn despite having other options [on old ass refurbished 2010 desktop towers that I tortured for a decade+]. I'm hella limited in many areas as far as stock Ableton goes but man I kinda prefer it this way now. I stopped using FL entirely because there's just too much unnecessary shit happening. Gimme 8 tracks, my Arturia Keylab49 essential, and just a sampler that's fine by me Vital is cool as shit though for sure
