The Waveshaper Explained - You Wont Believe All The Things This Can Do

[@dzmo-official]

7:09 very helpful advice! thanks!

[@ScaleAudio]

Glad it was helpful!

I've been using this a lot recently after realizing it distorts stuff. I put it on my master once and I saw it crushed the whole thing, but it sounded louder and more compact (glued). But now I finally know how it works thanks to this video, I'll make better decisions.

[@ScaleAudio]

If it sounds right it IS right. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment, keep making cool music!

[@moisesprado719]

finally i understand, after a lot of videos thank you very much

[@ScaleAudio]

Happy to be a part of the journey!

[@ZaneXBeats]

I have been sleeping on this plugin. thanks bro

[@ScaleAudio]

You bet bro!

[@DaveChips]

If u set all time constants to 0 in maximus u have multiband distortion plugin 😁😊

[@ScaleAudio]

@@DaveChips Good to know!

[@kauciontheboss]

Forget the distortion inside this for mastering. It widens the drums so they smack HARD rly powerful

[@ScaleAudio]

Distortion and saturation are a hell of a drug!

[@kauciontheboss]

@ScaleAudio it's unnecessary. Just pull the dot in the middle up it instantly boosts ya sound 🤷🏿‍♂️

[@moonl1314]

Thank u Im trying to make some sick dubstep sounds and this helps me plenty :)

[@officialraccoonbandit]

i appreciate this video. i've started looking into foldback distortion and i like the sounds it can produce but the Waveshaper is just classic, easy to use. #FLGANG

[@ScaleAudio]

Honest. Once you grasp the concept it becomes really intuitive.

[@suaresstudios]

great explanation, thanks

[@ScaleAudio]

You bet!

[@andredoesaudio]

should i only be using this for low end type instruments or should I use it for all? i usually just use it as a sort of volume enhancer until I discovered this video

[@ScaleAudio]

You can use it for anything. Individual instruments, a whole mix, vocals, bass. You just want to understand the characteristics so you can better use it where you see fit.

[@brandonbuxton8960]

How would u use this wave shaper in a plug-in chain ??

[@ScaleAudio]

Really depends on what I’m going for. It adds upper harmonics so I could use it later in the chain to brighten something, if used harshly it has a compressive or limiting type effect so it could be used to put something distorted and in your face, but maybe that made it too bright so I can eq and cut the highs after. Maybe use it last on a mix bus and do light saturation. Totally up to you 💪

[@leinexkeith291]

Next: upward compression & saturation with Maximus 🥭 Subscribed 🤝🏽

[@ScaleAudio]

I will put it on the list! I haven't been as active or dropping as many videos as I should, so in the meantime, here is an in depth of maximus if you are interested! kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6use6Sqj9lrjNk

[@towardstar]

how is this different from EQ

[@ScaleAudio]

Eq changes amplitude of the specific frequencies you choose. Wave shaper changes the waveform itself which causes the adding of harmonic frequencies farther up the frequency spectrum.

[@Yll-Beats]

what soundcard do you use

[@ScaleAudio]

It’s the on board soundcard of my G5 laptop. I usually have my interface hooked up though which is a 1st gen Scarlett 6i6.

[@Yll-Beats]

@@ScaleAudio wow , i have a rme fireface but its sounds like its covered do u think its a driver or windows ussiue or myebe im doing something wrong

[@ScaleAudio]

@@Yll-Beats what issues exactly do you have? You said it sounds covered? As in muffled audio?

[@Yll-Beats]

@@ScaleAudio yeah muffled

[@ScaleAudio]

@@Yll-Beats interesting, maybe drivers? Did it come with software? Could have something to do with the settings/configuration of the software or even the hardware.
