Sound Design in Ableton Live with COPYCATT

[@GeorgeLocke]

As a fellow sound nerd with ADHD, listening to this guy feels fun and somehow relaxing. It's like every tangent, every joke, every unnecessary qualifier or explanation, it's like he's catching little frayed thoughts in my head. Weirdly satisfying.

[@t_h_i_c_c_y]

i could listen to this guy talk about audio for hours

[@LiveProducersOnline]

@t_h_i_c_c_y sameness 👏

[@TildeSounds]

just got this in my recc and you're already here hahahaha, sick

[@GeorgeLocke]

Yes yes yes yes

[@Hollandvancewright]

I've been listening to this guy since he released ITSUM, amazing to see how far he's come and it's inspiring to see the way he does things

[@krnflks]

The delay sidechain technique is like the thing I have been looking for. Thank you for sharing this you beautiful bastard.

[@LiveProducersOnline]

[@RobertHarris-cm2pf]

kids are so lucky now days..i remember watching almost every yt tutorial back around 2012-2016 when i was in middle school/high school on sound design mixing, etc. now they got patreons tutorials from literally legends like virtual riot, koan sound, noisia, etc..

[@beatsbyjiro8291]

brother we had a dusty 4 track and a roland ms1 phrase sampler with zero sequencing abilites in 1998 😂

[@Trentcast]

On the topic of sidechain - shaperbox 3 now let’s you use audio as a sidechain trigger and you can add up to 4ms shift to the trigger.

[@parrott_ism]

tthe 4ms delay on the drums is wild work. gonna have to try that out

[@scrd.mp3]

good presentation lad

[@KaNaTroX]

It's hard to find quality content about Sound Design. Glad I found this channel

[@mauron8389]

Would love to see an episode on post processing someday

[@questionablepieceofcheese]

Such a dope presentation. Love this

[@PavanMS87]

This was insanely good and inspiring. Thanks guys

[@s_mething]

that harmonic phase shift trick @ 11:30 has literally been passed down from copycatt verbally through the indie SC/bass producer scene for generations and now the sauce is finally public 😂😂

[@colourbasscolourbassweapon2135]

Operator is the goat i used a lot of like Dubstep Barely Alive growls

[@highjumpgd5457]

Wow what an informative tutorial!

[@dylanreed4146]

Pretty sure Shaperbox3 can use audio as a trigger now too, so it kinda beats out kickstart in terms of flexibility without any of the old downsides, besides maybe taking a bit more time to set up

[@lowbs]

shaperbox3 is the goat

[@t_h_i_c_c_y]

@@dylanreed4146 you’re right. i use audio triggers with it very often

[@DuCanonCreative]

Ye, with this for sure. And also save your presets so it doesn't take so long to set up again!

[@COPYCATT]

Yep. Basically just depends on whether you need to customise that much. Also has anyone tested the phase friendliness of the band splitting in Shaperbox 3?

[@dylanreed4146]

@COPYCATT haven't noticed anything yet, though I haven't put it through any rigorous testing. Did a 3 band split on a pretty clean sub with a very subby kick and it didn't cause any problems that I noticed. But I am an audio expert, ya know? So maybe I just didn't hear it 😜

[@DisconnectedAutomaton]

I've been a huge fan for the longest time, I love all your music. Keep doing what you're doing! And thanks for uploading this video! 🔥💜💯👽✨👌

[@pwhi2251]

where we get that ott+ anyone know?

[@conradium]

Hey, at 29:20, does anyone know how he has the Oscillator Wave in Operator, auto cycling through Sq8, Sq16, amd Sq32? Seems links its follow a random LFO, but we never see him add one, nor is one in the channel ?!?!

[@COPYCATT]

I have no idea how that happened but I did have a bunch of LFO_Random instances in that project so I might have left one on mapped and that parameter just happened to be the next thing I clicked. Also M4L shit is just glitchy sometimes

[@conradium]

​@@COPYCATT lol spent 5 min watching your mouse in slo-mo tryna figure it out. glad im not crazy

[@phooka]

Brilliant. There should be mouse click highlights he goes so fast. Keep having to scrub back to see what he's doing half the time. Turned into a 3hr vid.

[@bear1801]

bros a genius

[@lowbs]

Didn't realize what a funny bloke COPYCATT is 😆I could see him doing standup foreal lmao

[@MarcusSt0ne]

I had no clue opt+shift and opt+shift+cmd did slip editing in Ableton...

[@jSpirituS7]

You said Look where it got me Where are you? Where did you get to?

[@rhcp357]

to having people interested in learning from him

[@jSpirituS7]

@ good point but I meant it as a more philosophical question

[@Vingul]

I kind of wish the "Transformers on crack" style bass died with brostep, nice one nonetheless!

[@antoniostabile5481]

Yoi yoi yoi E yoi

[@Vingul]

@@antoniostabile5481 cool cool

[@sparkplugrecs.official]

without needing all the external processing you can make that First "honk" in serum by FM'ing a 7th harmonic into the first oscillator, by like 38% (FM From B). Or, OSC A alongside OSC B with Basic Shapes on both, Adding a Sync to OSC B at 7% (Creating Seven Peaks) Then Asymmetrical Distortion at Drive and Amount at 50% and adding an LFO to the Filter/Envelopes for movement to the sound. *Follow for more tips lol
