Surreal Machines Modnetic and Diffuse (Mac / Windows / iOS): “Dub Machines” Spoken Walkthrough

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Edit 22nd July: winner has been picked, and is Japan Jay. Main message: Note: first part of the vid is focused on Diffuse, Modnetic walkthrough begins at 11:28. Surreal Machines “Dub Machines” bundle comprises 2 very cool delay plugins, Diffuse and Modnetic. These started life as Max 4 Live devices and have been out on desktop for a few years. Now they are available on iPad an iPhone as very reasonably priced AUv3 plugins. If you like my work, you can help me out in a simple but powerful way - if you are ever buying desktop plugins which available on Plugin Boutique, it would be great if you use my link. It costs you nothing, but I get a little kickback, thank you so much! If you regularly buy apps there, perhaps bookmark this link in your browser, every little bit helps: 🟧 My Plugin Boutique Link: www.pluginboutique.com/?a_aid=65c7016dea38b Click on the link, then search for what you are buying, I’ll get a small commission. Thank you!

I make next to nothing from KZbin (it works out at around £3 per 1000 views - yes, it is brutally low, and views are tiny in this small iOS music niche). The appstore dropped its affiliate program many years ago, depriving KZbinrs in this space of a vital source of revenue. If you are a dev, asking if I am interested in doing a sponsored video is a good way to ensure I can keep doing this work for the long term, and if you are a dev or a viewer, Patreon & Buy Me a Coffee, orPayPal, are good ways to help me keep this channel going. Links below. I have giveaways, exclusive vids, preset packs, samples, field recordings, AUM sessions, etc., on my Patreon. The top Patreon tier even has lots of desktop plugin giveaways. You can get a warm glow from supporting me while getting nice things in return. Everyone who’s a member there thinks it is wonderful and that joining is a no-brainer. 🟡 Check it out at patreon.com/Gavinski One-off donations are also very gratefully received. Donations and Patreon memberships are really the only chance I have of getting compensated fairly for my work here, so I really appreciate donations. You can also book one to one consultations with me on Buy Me A Coffee: 🟡 www.buymeacoffee.com/953211370u 🟡 paypal.me/GavinskisTutorials Thank you once again to those wonderful people supporting my work, you are much appreciated! 🟪 Giveaways: Read this all the way to the end? Congrats! 2 days from publishing this video, I will pick at random one person who is subscribed to this channel, and who commented on this vid and liked the vid. That person will win a copy of either Modnetic or Diffuse for iOS. Important: if you win I will reply to your message here in KZbin. If you do not reply within 24 hours of my sending that message, you will forfeit your chance to win and I will instead give the promo code to one of my Patreon supporters. Reason is that giveaways are time consuming for me, and I don’t have time going chasing people who don’t reply when I notify them they won. Good luck!

…how could one not, you are right, nice demo with headphones on the ear r r s s s…thanx

[@gbcraw]

I love a good delay. These are pretty impressive. So pleased to see they're available on IOS.

[@lfo4032]

It's not just another delay, it's another great sounding delay 🤩

[@GavinskisTutorials]

True!

[@DP_Gumby]

Great apps! Modnetic takes the cake for me with its rich, dubby sounds and modular setup, but Diffuse is no slouch (like the Rectify!). Thanks for the walkthrough!

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Cheers! Check out my latest little Insta / Twitter / Threads posts for a nice short demo of Diffuse which gives it more room to breathe than I gave it here

[@dubhead7292]

Dub Machines fits me well😉

[@etherealanthem]

Sounds lovely! Still haven’t found my “favorite” delay app but one of these could be it!

[@jeremymscalf2441]

They are great for dubby type sounds. I tried them in the beta. Quite good

[@puremorning73]

Both sounds good and seem to be simple enough to dial in.

[@regenerated2]

thanks for the demo!

[@nosense280]

Thank you Gavin, love the whole vibe of the video, calming and featuring two impressive new apps 😍

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Nice to hear, thank you 🙏

[@mpfmax0]

I really like the sound of modnetic, reminds a bit of the delay on On by aphex.

[@GavinskisTutorials]

I really like the sound of both, wasn't mad about them at first glance but after more playing around I'm a fan for sure

[@ufofriend132]

Modnetic is interesting beast. Character feature is awesome.

[@seniorbeatbox]

Very cool…I’m also hesitant to get another delay or verb but when it has some cool features like these it’s hard to resist 😅

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Luckily the prices on iOS for these are low enough that you don't need to think too hard about it, I guess 😁

[@MonkeyMind-sx9mo]

sounds really good

[@psychrockvinyl]

Great overview man. There are so many delay effects but this one seems to have a nice vibe that will fit perfectly in the right time! Def adding it to my wanted app list.. which is never ending

[@mrrafsk]

Never have enough delay choices

[@ChristianKrupa]

Both of these great, feels like I’ve had them forever because of the beta 😅

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Thought that fkn beta was never gonna end bro, lol. They both seem perfectly bug free tho, praise be!

[@ChristianKrupa]

@@GavinskisTutorials well, considering some of the hastily released untested stuff that’s got the App Store lately it’s probably better safe than sorry 😅

[@GavinskisTutorials]

@ChristianKrupa absolutely, there have been some travesties!

[@viridisvir7077]

Modnetic made my mouse ears perk up.

[@noisemaker5228]

Thank you, I like it.

[@mistersimonstrange]

This is lovely Gav

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Thnx Simone ♥

[@RaymondinJapan]

Thanks for the walkthrough! Both apps sound great. ☺️👍🏻

[@soysos.tuffsound]

I bought both the moment I heard they were on iOS. I had them from the original Max 4 Live days. Modnetic is a nice upgrade from the original Magnetic plugin. Both are fantastic. About to check your vid, looking forward to your thoughts as always.

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Thnx, enjoy!

[@soma808]

Thanks!🎉

[@snufbox]

Good demo bro.

[@bazebuster8330]

I like the depth gradation and the stereo image Of „Diffuse“ - your „Modnetic“ review comes now. Whenever I shop at PB- I add your affiliate to the article page - load it and then put it in my basket. Hope this helps and works like I thought.

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Thanks! What do you mean ‘the article page’ btw? I think, if I am not wrong, that basically using any affiliate link of mine for Plugin Boutique will then give me a commission when you buy. I am not sure how long the ‘session info’ or whatever will be recalled for. Maybe next time you buy, let me know, and I will tell you if I got a kickback. Again, thanks so much for this, it is really helpful brother!

[@bazebuster8330]

Hey gav‘ I mean „I Build“ a product-page with your affiliate link (copy and paste is your friend) - because I’ve seen, that sometimes affiliate links seem to disappear (and I don’t trust cookies too much). a „fresh built“ product-page is the best way to do I thought 😂

[@GavinskisTutorials]

@bazebuster8330 I’m still having difficulty visualizing this, maybe shoot me a screenshot on Patreon if you have time, cheers!

[@bazebuster8330]

@@GavinskisTutorials I try. But I can‘t grant that I‘ll get this ready before next Tuesday (because of a lot of troubles to fix and crazy much things to do, all of them running serial parallelized)

[@GavinskisTutorials]

@bazebuster8330 I replied to you already on Pateon about this actually. I finally understood what you're saying - simply copy and paste the last part of the link onto other specific plugin boutique links. Yes, that's the way it works too, correct! And thanks again!

[@dion2059]

So many good apps, so little time.

[@navaga6701]

pretty good

[@lextron-audio]

Sounds good

[@cartoondesignrevealed]

😊 😎

[@dr.rabbitfoot7421]

Personally more interested in the 2nd app, it has more playability for me, but it makes me wonder why app designers don’t work with a more complimentary mindset. Like if you have this one and throw this other one on it …. You create Voltron

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Modnetic has more going on for sure. Diffuse is actually very nice too, but I think I left the audio a bit quiet in my demo on this vid for that. The Patreon demo I did a few days ago gives a much better idea of how Diffuse sounds, imo

[@japanjay]

Can Diffuse emulate the original Quadraverb?

[@GavinskisTutorials]

I'm not familiar with Quadraverb, best ask someone else, cheers

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Hi! You won a copy of either Diffuse or Modnetic for iOS, congrats! But, you must reply to me within 24 hours following all my instructions, otherwise you'll forfeit your prize. If you can reply sooner that will be best. Follow these instructions exactly please: a) send me a reply to this message here in YT just before you email me b) then email me, at the email address posted in the About section of my channel c) make sure you mention in your email whether you want Modnetic or Diffuse. Again, you must do this within 24 hours, as delays cause headaches for me, the dev, and for other winners. Congrats once again, and cheers! Gav

[@japanjay]

@@GavinskisTutorials hi! Really? Wow, I’d love to grab Modnetic, thanks so much! I’ll email you soon

[@RaymondinJapan]

What app were you using as your sound source for the Modnetic walkthrough, btw? I didn’t recognize the icon…

[@GavinskisTutorials]

For the first demo I used pianoteq, for the 2nd I used Axon3

[@dr.rabbitfoot7421]

I heard they were thinking about bringing the affiliate links back

[@GavinskisTutorials]

Really? Wow, that would be an absolute game changer, I would even say life changer, for myself and others in this space. Do you have a link about that? Maybe dm to me on Patreon if you don't mind, because KZbin usually marks posts on KZbin comments with links as spam. Cheers!

[@dr.rabbitfoot7421]

@@GavinskisTutorials I wish I could remember I can definitely say it wasn’t on any Apple News, maybe the forum, if I see it or hear it again I’ll chat you, promise.

[@GavinskisTutorials]

@dr.rabbitfoot7421 thnx, I googled it, nada…I hope it is true but I strongly doubt it
