I love how subtle you can side chain. Makes it sound morden without being muddy but also for Techno you can build with Shaper Box really easy some top percussion layers. That intense side chain effect is a thing of the past!

[@ThisIsOnesto]

With the Volumeshaper you can get that sidechain as subtle/precise or as emphasized as you'd like. Shaperbox is seriously sooooo good! Thanks for watching!

you always have the best videos, man! thank you so much

[@ThisIsOnesto]

Woah, thanks for the feedback! It always means a lot to hear, especially on older videos.

[@idlethoughtsmusic]

Well done! ShaperBox is a ton of fun, and like you've said, it's a great way to learn the tools available to music producers. The presets give some great examples, and I always find myself inspired with sounds I wouldn't have thought of otherwise. I need to spend some more time in it. Thanks for sharing this!

[@ThisIsOnesto]

Thanks for the feedback! I was curious if anyone else had a similar experience with Shaperbox, and it sounds like you're seeing what I'm seeing

[@NewNoise1]

Honestly. I use to believe it was identical to gross beat but it isnt. I did the samething on gross beat and got a different result. I liked shaperbox and it exceed my expectations by a lot. It’s exactly what I am looking for and what I need.

[@ThisIsOnesto]

I'm pretty sure Shaperbox will always be in my top plugins of all time. It's amazing and pretty easy to use. And thanks for leaving a few comments on my videos. It's always good to hear from the community. Hope you can really get a lot out of Shaperbox 3.

[@charlesneuzil5765]

Thanks for the video on Shaperbox. I’ve been eyeing Shaperbox for a long time now. You always get me thinking, and get me motivated. I think I’ll use your link to finally try out a demo. Thank you for all you do and for the great content. 🙏🙏🙏🙂

[@ThisIsOnesto]

Hey! Thanks for saying that! And I hope you get to try out the demo, it really is one of my favorite plugins ever. Glad you're liking the content too, it means a lot to hear that from the audience

[@MFGH0ST]

My man! Hope you had a great holiday. Here’s to crushing 2023! Let’s go🙌🏻

[@ThisIsOnesto]

Hey!! Great to hear from you again! I hope you had a great holiday too. Can't wait to show you what's in store for 2023.

[@amaxlevin]

Very tasteful additions using shaperbox. Cheers!

[@ThisIsOnesto]

Glad you think so! I honestly just wanted to show the ways that I almost always use Shaperbox. Thanks again for watching

Hey mate. Love the vids, especially the year 1-4 guide. Can you just answer a quick one here? I think you're right that for the most part in the early days you should only add tools to your DAW that the DAW doesn't do at all, or things that objectively make the workflow better. Like you say, when you look at it like that - most DAWs can do more than meets the eye. For example, in Ableton, the original 'verb was a bit limited, but Hybrid Reverb is extremely close to the kind of quality you'd get from a Valhalla verb. Like the Chorus/Phaser etc, there's a very good case that you don't need any external plugins. But this one (at least visually) looks different. Yes Ableton has Envelope follower for example, but it's not a multiband multi effect (at least not out of the box). Anyway... I noticed that you had this down as a year 3-4 plugin in your original guide. Have you changed your mind on that, and would you now recommend this to year 1-2 producers, or is it too complicated for basic productions? Cheers!

[@ThisIsOnesto]

Thanks for watching my videos. It's always good to hear that these videos are helping whoever is watching them. To answer your question, I think that all that shaperbox does is more than what your DAW can do. The only DAW that I think can come close is with Bitwig Studio, but honestly it'll get pretty complicated. And if I had to make those videos again, I think I would move Shaperbox to years 1-2, primarily because this plugin teaches you so much about effects, modulation, and experimentation. In fact I would even challenge you to only use Shaperbox as the only effects plugin you use (not counting delay or reverb) for 6 months. I will say that there is a learning curve to shaperbox, but it's not that bad, especially with all the great shaperbox videos out there. At the very least try the free demo, I'm sure you'll love it!

What are your thoughts on Infiltrator 2 and how it compares to Shaperbox 3?

[@ThisIsOnesto]

I was asked this same question on another video, and it's a great question because both plugins use a similar concept and approach. The way I see it is that you start with Shaperbox but graduate to Infiltrator. So I find Shaperbox more approachable and I happen to find the workflow easier for me to wrap my head around. However, I think Infiltrator is a more "powerful" plugin than Shaperbox, with more effects, and features especially with its sequencer. It's the sound designer's ultimate weapon. I wouldn't say that one is better than the other. They're both amazing, with perhaps slightly different audiences. If you have any more questions just let me know!

This guy is the chrisfix of vsts

[@wrigna1]

Hey guys! Quick question, I'm currently using ShaperBox 3.2.1 in Ableton Live and for some reason specifically ShaperBox keeps endlessly playing sound long after all sounds from all other channels have stopped. This is very annoying, undesirable, and it's adding sound into regions of the exported audio files where there shouldn't be sound (no midi clips at all). ShaperBox 3.2.1 is the only plugin giving me this issue. Can anyone please let me know how to fix it?

[@rickyfair5890]

is it any way that i can use shaperbox on part of a track

[@ThisIsOnesto]

Great question, you can definitely do that. I can think of two ways to make that happen. 1. Automate shaperbox to turn on during the part of the track you want. And automate to turn off when that part is done. 2. You can also bounce to audio the part where shaperbox is active. That way you won't have to worry about shaperbox turning on or off at the right moment. Hope that helps.

[@rickyfair5890]

@@ThisIsOnesto thanks---but a video showing how that is done would be great

[@armintam5arian]

dude, you have bitwig - you don't need shaperbox for sidechaining

[@ThisIsOnesto]

You're right, with Bitwig you can sidechain a 100 different ways. But for the purpose of this video I wanted to show how anyone can sidechain transparently with Shaperbox, and show a couple of other tricks that I learned from Shaperbox. But you do have a great point. Nearly everything Shaperbox can do, Bitwig can do. It's such an amazing DAW.

[@jimbrightman6672]

Sorry, for me - too bad explaining, too fast talking , everything too fast - and too bad examples, sometimes not easy to hear ,too quiet. If i see this first i i wouldn`t have bought it , there are millions of better ones. - even not useful as an overview, sorry, as i say, its only my first impression. This is a very complex software, that normally needs 20 minutes for only obeof its modules to explain at least half of the possibilities

[@ThisIsOnesto]

Hey, sorry that this video completely failed you. A lot of your points of critique are things that I try to work on each video. I know I'm not there yet, but it's something I work hard to improve in. And you're right, Shaperbox is a wonderful and complex plugin. It'll always be impossible to show you everything you can do. That's why I wanted this video to be an introduction for beginners who are looking for plugins that will help them grow. It's not really a walkthrough, but more of sharing my experience with it, but I probably did not make that clear enough in the video. If you are looking for more shaperbox tips, I made a couple videos around Volumeshaper and Driveshaper.
