this SOUNDS like RADIO!? || Aberrantdsp - Shapeshifter

[@andyhooper8641]

The Darude thing will never, ever get old.

[@chris.dillon]

It's a song with so many sections. I can't believe it hasn't gotten back to the chorus yet.

[@gonzalosanchez6387]

So by now I figured out he is not using the actual song, he is just calling it that. But where does this come from?

[@meldmagic]

@@gonzalosanchez6387 🦉 Either he gets paid by Darude for shout outs or he has used Sandstorm in the past & got a copyright strike, is my guess.

[@SoundsFromSound]

AberrantDSP is literally following the UNIX philosophy: do one thing well. Love this plugin dev and all their stuff!

[@cassetteo]

soundsfromsound they can’t do cassette emulation welll... so you are correct?

[@InsideOfMyOwnMind]

@@cassetteo who cares? They probably can't do 8trk, wire recorder or wax cylinder emulation well either.

[@mrnelsonius5631]

@@cassetteo well if all you care about is exact hardware emulation.... then none of the companies are knocking it out of the park consistently. Very few exceptions where you can’t tell the hardware and plug-in apart in blind tests. And....who cares. Does it sound good to you? Does it inspire you? If so, then just use it ;)

[@Rockoslab]

can we all agree that this thing instantly made the song 10 times better?

[@dykodesigns]

It does really sound like an FM radio. The music fits well with the UI, it’s just the that frolic, artsy 90’s MTV vibe I’m getting from it. It’s almost going to animate and dance around on the screen.

[@ScotBontrager]

Me: "drums need a 303 bass" Witse: "let's add the bassline" Me: "oh, yeah!!!!!"

[@IvanBeatzBorn808]

Hard sensitive compressor with a lot of colourisation. That’s what I see. Nice, clean, simple way to give a mix that extra push imo I like it gonna go get it

[@JasonRblah]

I've done some work in UI/UX (user interface and user experience), and generally when emulating hardware with software, you don't want to emulate a delayed animation on a binary switch unless you care more about pretending to be hardware than being useful. An animation introduces delay so from the instant you click the toggle button, there will be some delay before the toggling of the binary value, which likely will not be reflected in the visual animation at the same time. Usually a user interface wants a binary toggle to be instantaneous (as close to the user's intended press as possible so they aren't guessing where in that hardware moving of the switch the binary value actually changes, is it in the middle of the switch being moved or at the beginning of the press, what happens if you push it half way to Off and then back to On, what if you push it 1/3 of the way, etc). For a user of hardware to memorize that detailed kind of usage is just noise in their accomplishing what they set out to do. Therefore just because you are emulating hardware doesn't mean you want to emulate everything about the hardware. Let's see how you feel if your software plugin has a power tube failure, and you have to virtually send your plugin to the shop to get repaired. I actually worked at a major US company where we implemented a newer version of a TV hardware box which was now software-based emulating their old hardware, and they literally told us to replicate the hardware bugs, which included anything from visual artifacts to full on crashes, smh. What will happen if you program that binary switch with software to toggle back and forth faster than the software animation can play? Is it going to queue 200 on/off animations to play in a row or at some point drop some? It's a slippery slope.

[@haipabli7670]

Designer: "so how do u want the plugin to look like" Company guy: "Picasso......" Designer: "say no more"

[@DJYukie]

haha exactly!

[@thomaslenglain8594]

They design the GUI themselves !

[@MisterManiac777]

Not Picasso, Matisse.

[@GaragebandandBeyond]

As always a nice introduction to a good plugin! Thanks!

[@jessewildman1292]

Brings out some really cool high end colors. I love it even just from your little session with it

[@Rompler_Rocco]

Love it! Loved the cassette one too. Everything they scribble is gold 👍

[@TheOptimus496]

5:00 When you're overwhelmed and freaking out but you're enjoying it too 🤣🤣🤣

[@barneymiller5488]

I LOVE plugins like this. And like you say, it's seems like the kind of plugin where you just turn the knobs and see what you get, even if you don't know what you're doing. I love that you (someone who DOES know what he's doing most of the time), feel this way too. For novices like me, when there's too many knobs with numbers I get lost. Not that I just want "pre-set" plug ins (I do wonder if this has some neat pre-sets), but I really don't mind plug-ins that decide "Here's what we do. We do it well. And we make it simple to play around with." The other companies that do that are "Freakshow Industries". (They have three WEIRD plug-ins, with the strangest interfaces ever, you should review them!) and "Baby Audio" (their free "magic" chorus is amazing!). Love this review. I'm gonna' buy it.......RIGHT NOW!

[@liamhebden8857]

Confused by the title, almost didn't watch thinking it was a radio emulation. But, a very handy cheap plugin, will try it out when possible. thanks again!!1

[@jacquepierregee]

Thanks for the heads up. Played with the demo for about 5 minutes and fell in love. The wacky interface perfectly fits the attitude of it's function. This is a majorly cool color plug!

[@DoItYourselfMusician]

I lover Aberrant's stuff. I use Sketch Cassette on almost every mix, somewhere.

[@J-DUB-F1]

Love it!!....I can think of some uses for it right now!. Aberrant really does have their own thing happening. They're nailing the lo-fi squashy thing and really colored compression perfectly. Not just another distortion algorithm....it doesn't sound like Soundtoys, or Kazog, or Waves, etc .....and for $20!, everyone should buy it.....right now!.......mine!! :-) and I'm completely charmed by their GUI :-)

[@aidanswiftofficial]

Hey, just wanted to say today I got my Sonarworks Reference in the mail because of the video I saw you made. May the audio comment gods have mercy on my soul, but this is now officially my first ever piece of room treatment ever. Couldn't be happier with it, thank you!

[@CarsonHoy]

I have it and love it. Like getting new monitors in my opinion, just have to turn it on and off every time I switch to different monitors 👌🏼

[@OliverAmberg]

Hates screws on displays. Loves animated check boxes ;)

[@BigMuff75]

soso hier treiben wir uns rum... ;-)

[@YoungBlaze]

wuuaw

[@user-xl4tb2mb6h]

3:17 Actually this is made in the way that contacts are met and separated as immediately as possible to minimize sparks and stuph. So...

i loooooooooooooooooooove the design

[@NicenEasyuk]

Loved the interface immediately

[@thegoodgeneral]

Would be a hilarious surprise if one day he actually did use Sandstorm by Darude.

Wait, that song actually exist???

[@laughwithoutsmiling]

“It costs $20 and that’s how it looks. It looks like it costs $20.” I literally snorted

[@timbrehaze7958]

This feels like it does the Vulf Lofi Compressor, but with a lot more control. And better in my opinion

[@naicametal]

Great review, you should check a plugin called MixChecker Pro by Audified, apparently you can check how your mix will sound in the radio for example. And by the way with 20 USD you can eat a hole week here in Mexico!

[@False.wav_]

Mixchecker emulate the tonal curve and the eq not the compression or other things👍🏻

[@unc1589]

Lol Mexican lunch!!!

[@LuckyDejardin]

Yeah thank you for this review. I'm using it a lot since I bought it a couple of weeks ago it give real character to some dull tracks.

[@LoveMeBack]

Love that “radio” sound especially in the morning. I’m getting this.

[@iamelohym]

This one is actually pretty good. I recommend trying out the demo, as it is indeed very worth to check out.

[@YS-MAC]

Sounds pretty cool honestly could probably do some unique instruments designs with it

[@fireflake_dnb_470]

i can imagine this plugin used on 10 percent dry / wet could do cool stuff to the drums. wauw.

[@TheSonicDeviant]

I’m in love with this channel!

[@andreasurban6795]

Because you had the floor knob at rightmost setting during testing I think we were missing a lot of the bass. I kept shouting... turn the knob anti-clockwise... :-)

Please review kush's ubk1, pusher and clariphonic!!!!!!

[@TheGarageRecordingSC]

Great video, a very interesting plug-in. It literally did make it sound like a different song. Whether or not that is good is subjective of course. But it’s cool to have something that you can throw on and literally give you two different versions of your song. Or you could just use it to get ideas about what direction you could take a song.

[@marcusherbold993]

This is a BEAST!!!!!!!

Thanks for all the information.Great character and nice honest content.Wish you the best!(amateur music producer)

[@tomatobortolato]

Dad: son if you had one wish what would it be? Also dad: ffs.......now I have to make it

[@MisterManiac777]

Sounds good. Not for master track necessarily, but on some stems.

[@MCAlvesPortugal]

It looks a like the kush -1 compressor .

[@overbe]

OTT on steroids?

[@compucocina5567]

And i like how that sounds in theory... :D Tho OTT let you control High, mids and bass in there. This one looks like not.

[@brandanleiter]

Ya that’s wut I was thinking. OTT with saturation and filtering

[@BarnacleButtock]

Wow the difference between bypassed and not with those initial settings.. Added so much reverb!

[@gisellechacon7081]

omg too funny! not sure you meant to, but you just sold me a plugin! whatever its doing, it is incredibly interesting and surprisingly musical.

[@gulagwarlord]

"Sounds like shit, but that's what you want..." (every brostep/riddim producer agrees in unison)

[@aarons6617]

How are you liking the Crème RC so far? I have the original and really dig it, but I’m curious what you think of the noise level in relation to the output knob. Mine seems to introduce noise once I start getting towards the halfway mark; wondering if it’s just mine or the design. Thanks, and always love your videos and outlook!

[@marianofonseca618]

can you review vulf compressor?

[@maxmileski1248]

Although 7 times more expensive, the attitude of this Picasso-esque comp reminds me of that instant gratification of the Vulf compressor. Instant results, pushed forward in its character and has a tendency to make other ‘character’ emulation comps actually seem a little dull ..and even flat when used on appropriate sources.

[@erestube]

Me: I've got enough plugins. I've checked this one out before and told myself no. (I watch this video.) Me: Oh, shit. This guy sells their plugins better than they do. Well, $20 is not so bad...

better put that money on bitcoins

Are you going to make a video review on that Creme compressor too?

[@ToniDelgadoAbellan]

Whats the track name here? Great groove

[@ShaneDobbie]

nice one, i bought it before i even finished watching this video

[@JimijaymesProductions]

I want this thing just for that fm radio sound, I love that sound of course often its shit but sometimes its fun.

[@louismarinrenaud416]

Very similar to recording a track on a reel to reel with DBX noise reduction ON and playing that recording back with the DBX off
