production tips #1 - all about waveshaping

[@Laows]

When a guy just recording screen and straight talking you know he's cooking

[@anomalokara]

the single monitor obs recording has to be good

[@Sage-zs9qy]

this!

[@JunSimVocal]

i am so here for the production content arc !!!!

[@noudvanderven9564]

I never got my head around waveshaping, but now it makes so much sense. Really liked some of the quick practical tips for applying it in production. Great stuff! Looking forward to your future videos :)

22:40 it’s called upwards compression. Bringing signals under threshold up instead of bringing signals over threshold down, the classic way called downwards compression. Upwards expansion is taking signals over threshold and making them louder, and downwards expansion is making signals under threshold lower, classic gating. Also, doing parallel EQ like in your rack almost always gives phase issues unless you use linear EQ.

[@tranquilbear3152]

I think it depends on the amount of amplitude and or gain applied to the cut tho which means it won’t be so bad. Low or high shelf’s don’t do as much phase issue and linear causes pre-ringing I’ve heard.

[@tranquilbear3152]

I think if you cut with a notch or bell really wide it makes the issue sound pretty noticeable though

[@yarnkle]

Watch Dan worrals series about parallel filters, I think it will open your eyes to what these 'phase issues' actually are

[@krisissupercool1]

22:30 that's upward compression you're speaking of, expansion is the opposite of compression, when you make the dynamic range more vast instead of less.

thank you for the clarification!

Waveshaping is quite awesome when it comes to bass design, on fl mobile rn, messing with its wave shaper, although not much flexibility on it, its still insane

[@Sage-zs9qy]

this is fantastic! thank you for also visualizing what a clipper and upward compressor do.

Love melda llugins. I use waveshaper MB for finetuning drum goodness

[@elementz018]

6:27 My guess as to why the Serum waveshaper skews/shifts the waveform is probably because it applies some amount of DC offset filtering. As for whether that’s pre- or post-processing (or both), I would assume post. As for what this does to the sound of your distorted signal, it causes no audible change. This filter is designed to attenuate frequencies well below the range of human hearing (

[@kade-makes-music]

very useful information, thanks for sharing!

[@Chris-x7i5o]

I've just stuck a wave shaper on some my drums and bass and gave them some adjustments and the tune sounds so much better already. Thanks for explaining it so well

[@Nortsan197]

now i finally understand waveshaping thks u

[@atetraxx]

Your vid just popped up in my feed. Just wanted to say, great vid. keep em coming. subscribed.

[@k19-h8p]

happy to see you doing production vids

[@alexmoscatelli149]

What a gem of a tutorial! Great job dude. Shout out Noisia btw ahahah

[@kade-makes-music]

we ❤️ noisia

[@angelocherymusic]

Glued my mix and clipped it so transparently Holy shit

[@ash3r01]

Great vid, do u think u could do a cutspace/sv1 tutorial? I saw you had some of their drumkits

[@Ssuperman]

Golden content

[@sfleeee]

Why did you side chain your mic with a long release to what’s coming out of Ableton? Makes it hard to hear when synths are playing

[@kade-makes-music]

@@sfleeee pretty sure my gain was just quieter than the ableton output when i recorded, will fix that in next video though

[@TROYVIXIOUS]

So is all saturation and distortion basically waveshaping?

[@kade-makes-music]

yes, they both alter the waveform by adding non-linearities to the signal which is what a waveshaper does

[@deathflore5631]

Very good to know

[@krisissupercool1]

great vid!

[@olibarahosasa1137]

Melda Bundle 🎉🎉🎉

I was wating on a third voice crack.

[@plixlt]

damn u used bitwig stidio, then fl and now ableton, u quite a daw-tzigane

[@haukesteinbach]

thx m8 :*
