What Plugins Do I Need for Music Production?

[@ttblocka7910]

You may not be the biggest DJ in the world, but I think you're the funniest and do the best tutorials!!! keep it up!!

[@NewmskiRunnerCarerDJProducer]

I agree! Need to buy him a beer or a few for the tips given on his vids. Some have come in v handy for me!

[@OSCOMusic]

He might Dj where he lives but on this channel he gives electronic music PRODUCTION tutorials... Not Dj tutorials... They are completely different things

[@JB_0510]

A M K Music yes was thinking the same .

[@aevin_io]

i absolutely share your excitement about Serum. One the VST im a proud owner and i will never ever regret!

[@TG-ru4fd]

All I can think of is what Flume once said.... Nothing is more powerful than a DAW, sylenth, and a $99 keyboard.

[@renwhit4371]

Do you produce? I've played drums all my life but I really want to get into digital sound

[@TG-ru4fd]

Yes. Playing drums would give you a head start. It's good to know music theory which you can get cheat sheets for when writing out songs. I've produced for two years but never released anything as it takes a lot of practice to perfect and learn things like audio engineering (sylenth). But like I said, playing drums may give you that rhythmic start. It's about as expensive as buying a new xbox one and a couple of games. Ask me any questions if you'd like.

[@renwhit4371]

I actually do know basic music theory and I play piano a little bit. I'm just not sure where to start. I want to get something where I could make melodies and chord progressions and such but I also want some pads for beats. Would a midi keyboard work? and if so, How could I export from the midi software to lets say soundcloud or something?

[@jacobstockings6258]

loving the frequent vids!

[@MultiplierSounds]

+Jacob Stockings thanks man! Yeah I'm aiming for one every two days. Although since there was a two week gap recently I'm trying to catch up :p

[@TeadsTV]

I also agree! ;)

[@LewisCarpenter33554]

Another great video! If youre looking for another good Reverb Id give Valhallaroom a go! Very flexible and easy to use!

[@LuisHouses]

I like soundtoys plugins for creativity effects, VMR for mixing, valhalla for reverb, Serum for synth and Eiosis for clean EQ. Those are the best for me :)

[@jecsivelasquez8305]

i love your videos so much man

[@EGAOFFICIAL]

Logics Space Designer Reverb is amazing

[@razelm]

Dude, you really need to change that intro :/

[@redrawlots]

Tanks so much for these great videos, I'm learning so much and I've only watched a few so far. Really entertaining too!

[@JASEmsc]

Ozone, Serum, Trash & Valhalla are the ones for me

[@johngoulart69]

same... but i don't have a reverb but i have komplete

[@alexanderpressler5364]

"some people will disagree with me but those people don't have ears!" :D i love your tutorials ... also on groove 3 ;) thx dude

[@0yal569]

Just in case you never saw! I would love a serum tutuorial on how to make an apashe like trap brass drop.

[@Prog47]

It's Jaqen H'ghar!

[@acecatman]

there's more than those 20 presets in toraverb, if you look on the left there's also a Wet folder, those are meant to be used as a send effect. also a good user bank that can be found on the d16 forum. not many people even know that they have a forum haha.

[@BeachDreams75]

really liked that nice delay tail trail tail reverb tail on that

[@zemekiel]

Limiting.. Get Fabfilter Pro-L. You should get more than one synth, depending on what kind of music you produce. I use Alchemy, Serum, Sylenth1 and NI FM8. Why do you need a better reverb than Space Designer? Have you actually tested it?

[@mattiemaas]

I'd love that hour long lecture on serum..

[@MultiplierSounds]

I did a 3 hour course on Serum for Groove3 a year or so ago :)

[@Utomneian]

i have Massive and Trash-2, and that's about it for plug-ins for me so far. haven't been investing into music much since i wasted like 200 total on Vocaloid software and Cyber Diva, which isn't as good as i was hoping for btw. i keep hearing buzz about Serum, but i am fine with Massive for now. i am interested in Ozone though, since my mastering has been kinda ghetto (i use Audacity's Hard Limiter after bouncing out the master from Ableton). i may consider Serum someday, but i am more interested in getting Olympus Elements Choir, and perhaps the Nocturne Violin synth by Synthtopia. i would get the choir before the strings, since i have made Ableton's strings work, more or less... i mean, i am on the fence, i would like a better strings synth, but paying 300+ dollars is a lot for me on my income.

[@BappinProductions]

All of them!

[@Paradroidx]

eventide blackhole is amazing reverb.. on sale for 50$ till january

[@HoneyGoatStudios]

why not have a video about Freeware Plugins? I myself mostly use freeware software, I use BusDriver from Nomad [free on don't crack], synth1, HY -MBDrive, and Epicverb.

[@ConTodayTempo]

you really should give us an hour on the virtues of serum i think a lot of people would benifit from it

[@McClungMusic]

Would you recommend Ozone 7 or "Ozone 7 Advanced" (which is 2x the price)?

[@mrmovieguy1000]

What programme is this? Yes I realise I'm a complete noob but is this FL studio? And is ~FL Studio the same as fruity loops when people say fruity loops yeah?

[@94roles]

Kevin Deegan This program is Ableton Live, and yes, FL = Fruity Loops

[@theman9126]

Hey man, thank you for all your videos. This was a great video, definitely will check those plugins out! One question, what are your go to Vocals processing plugins? I've got Antares Autotune, but don't know what can help me give my vocals clarity and character. Also, how do you feel about Glitch? Worth checking out? Thanks!

[@Insomniamusic]

if i had to pick my favorite plugins i would pick 1.Omnisphere ( awesome soundscapes and pads ) 2.Glitch2 ( my favorite plugin )

[@SoundsFromSound]

+Thomas Bond Omnisphere 2 is certainly not a rompler. Nexus is a rompler. In Omnisphere, you can import your own samples and manipulate them just like you would if you were synthesizing a sound inside of it. That makes the synth immensely more powerful for sound design.

[@murison4914]

A distortion video would be cool! Especially after flumes new album

[@TeadsTV]

Can you make a video on mixing and saturation? Don't have to go into full detail but so many people say don't boost eq, some say do. And what you use saturation on. I always get stuck trying to finish a track cause I over think everything and my mixes never come anywhere close to what I listen to on Soundcloud. Can you show the steps you take to make a professional mix. Maybe the cuts you use with abletons eq8. And maybe the order YOU use to do things to get that track finished and closer to a more professional outcome. I know that's a lot. Maybe point me in the right direction. Anyways, huge fan! And I love your videos! !

[@MultiplierSounds]

+TeadsTV thanks man! I'll stick it on the todo list

[@TeadsTV]

+Multiplier OMG thank you! And thanks for the reply back man! It means a lot. I've been doing this for years and have gone so far down the rabbit hole that I'm to that point were I can almost see the whole picture. I've been a tech, been in bands and even been a stage manager for a few big tours. I have 26 years of music under my belt and know 4 instruments and still can't get my mixes the way that I want them. I don't know what the hell I'm missing. Lol I need a mentor for working in the box so when I'm on the road I can write and not be discouraged. Thanks again man. You are the shit and keep up the good work! =)

[@kevinacuna9896]

It would be great if you do a tutorial on how to use serum for us beginners, mate!

[@MultiplierSounds]

+Kevin Acuna I did a comprehensive course for Groove3 at the end of last year on it. So for the time being ill just do random tips and tricks on my KZbin

[@mkamsi]

Bingo Bango Bongo :D

[@paultyrrell8060]

Surely the types of plugins you use are analogous to the style of music you are producing?

[@K100music]

I personally just go with stock plugins. The are already in the program and really overlooked.

[@K100music]

Hugh Jones It really depends on what you use it for personally I love abletons stock one for simple things like putting some air on drums and hats.

[@northonebeats8745]

u master with stock plugins??

[@K100music]

I got ozone 7 so not anymore its just handier for me because everything that I need is in the one plugin!

[@northonebeats8745]

Can i use the glue compressor as a limiter when i'm mastering??

[@K100music]

Yeah sure why not!

[@rongtianyue]

I love it when he says Fruity Loops.

[@StyLeBanGer72]

love your intro!!!

[@BlackFrostt]

Dude. what about EQ and Compressors. personally i like the fabfilters for mixing and mastering. Their pro bundle is cheaper than izotope. Serum is the beast though.

[@MultiplierSounds]

+BlackFrost while a nice plugin EQ and/or compressor is nice, for 99% of what people do in music, the built in ones do a good enough job. Certainly I wouldn't call them necessary, just a nice luxury

[@BlackFrostt]

+Multiplier it is true that for many itkay be considered a luxury because they're happy with the in the box eq and compressor, I found quite a difference since I started using a good eq and a multiband compressor. It just improves the workflow and makes the work easier. Maybe it's just a personal thing. Whatever works out I guess. cheers

[@powder_1998]

where can i get some opera vocals n tings of that nature?

[@MultiplierSounds]

these ones came in a magazine

[@powder_1998]

but do u know where i can find some?

[@rohankhobragade2010]

Multiplier, why are you so hard on FL😂

[@imjoeking_]

its kind of a meme

[@MultiplierSounds]

for the lolz :)

[@matthewfieldhouse101]

Please redo this video comparing built in Ableton effects with their paid for equivalent - show quality of sound and flexibility of each plugin.

[@TripleTSingt]

but Massive can have Parallel Filters. Thats better than with Serum (1 Main Filter and 1 Filter in the FX Section). Just Mentioning, every Synth got its limit. Except Reaktor. There u just build your own Synth for everything.

[@Deceitful93]

Reaktor's limit is that you really need to know what you're doing to do anything. And you can modulate the EQ in Massive to have yet another filter, which you can route whichever way you want. Love Massive.

[@TripleTSingt]

***** thats not a limit, because you can learn these things. serum can't learn to have a second filter (except maybe steve patching it)

[@Deceitful93]

If we treat Reaktor as a synthesizer, it is a limit, because ease of use is a selling point for many synths, and is what I meant. However, Reaktor is a better treated as a platform for synth design, in which case it is stellar. If you've purchased Serum, you can also download SerumFX and utilize additional filters, though in my case it doesn't seem like you can modulate them.

[@Paradroidx]

synth would be Diversion... its a little cpu hog, but the sound is the best.

[@acidindia3000]

multiplier will u tell me from ware i ken get free plugins for ableton? i use mac

[@JusteriniNBrooks]

thoughts on Fabfilter Pro R (their new reverb plugin) ?

[@Themostamazinguy]

JusteriniNBrooks I personally love it so much!

[@juancruz2337]

All the FL Studio stock plugins

[@shaunbees1]

Man your good at shootin the shit..!!!

[@Zapidom]

grrrrreeetings bingo Bango bongo

[@albertsteffensen9727]

the problem with serum. Is the Price, if people don't know what to get. Don't tell em to get a +120$ synth.

[@EtasisAsis]

Really helpful :)

[@oscar43211234]

what are your computer specs?

[@MJibson]

"Some people will disagree with me, but those people don't have ears". Cool video btw!

[@maheshg7729]

can u make a intro tutorial fl studio

[@kal_eb2593]

xddddddddddd

[@sectorrafo4430]

He is hetero so i think no he cant

[@zZerozZz]

Which headphones are you using ?

[@MultiplierSounds]

+Nguyễn Tuấn Hải hd25s. This was mid-moving my music stuff back into the studio, so my hd650s were somewhere else

[@zZerozZz]

Thanks man ! Great video btw ! I suggest you make a video about hardware recommendation like which headphones should we use or audio interface, etc

[@MultiplierSounds]

good idea! I'll stick it on the todo list. thanks!

[@d0tpl0t83]

If I have izotope 7 should delete 5 and 6 or is it better to keep them?

[@MultiplierSounds]

I keep them

[@d0tpl0t83]

ok

[@EOWLightshow]

why?

[@angelotagliatelle]

+Broseph$talin to make you look richp

[@4ndrww]

to maintain compatibility with old projects

[@Rajk412]

I have no plugins. Do I need plugins i'm a beginner

[@ThirdFocusMusic]

Plugins from different companies do better things at others, Ozone is shit.. It's like a quick plugin for people that don't understand what mastering is, you have to look at dynamic ranges of other songs for reference theres a great vst by Brainworx for this, Also it dosen't matter what "Synth" vst you have, any synth you can re-create any sound if you know what your doing even with stock synth plugins. can even get free synth vsts that does the job. Don't need lessons from this guy telling you what you should have / or do. Only thing ever stopping you is the creativity

[@MultiplierSounds]

you can make most types sounds with most synths. to get the most innovative or best sounds, you really need one of the top tier synths, like Serum

[@ThirdFocusMusic]

Yeah synths can re-create most sounds, but Not really with Serum part, Look at noisia or people who doing insane sound design the key is Re-sampling, with shit tons of effects no matter what synth they using they always re-sample it even if its basic saw synth etc

[@carlf.9035]

Serum?

[@wolvAUS]

Is IRC3 in ozone 5 better than 7?

[@MultiplierSounds]

+wolv it's exactly the same

[@zerozerozerocollon]

"Frooty Loops"

[@yvinmoxness9341]

Ozone 7 IRC 3 turns my track into dub scramble eggs, why?

[@DonJewey]

New headphones?

[@cd78]

Does this lad have a spectrum disorder. Serum is immense but Omnisphere is the bugatti veyRon.

[@nikitarsb777]

😂😂😂The way he said "fruity loops"😂😂😂

[@xDTHx]

i actually like FL reverbs.

[@Themostamazinguy]

Agerix Official it's good for low frequencies but terrible for high frequencies. If you can get it I recommend Fab filter pro R. It's an incredible reverb plugin!

[@xDTHx]

Themostamazinguy​ ehh. Idk. I haven't found a better reverb for the price. Reverbs are all personal preference though.

[@shaunbees1]

Did you buy your ozone 5 or just pirate the program...?

[@MultiplierSounds]

+shaun bee nah, I bought it full price. Although now I get them all free legit from the manufacturer

[@shaunbees1]

+Multiplier Damn bud must be nice!!

[@KRRT]

What happened to the old sennheisers

[@MultiplierSounds]

forgot to bring them. was moving everything back in when I made this video

[@lacunaeglow8065]

Dig your energy :-)

[@alidunrobin1]

"Tooooon" you're hilarious

[@twids4]

11:05 Lowkey dab

[@K1nkyD1sco]

Bruh. Its FL studio. Version 12. Get with it :)

[@Themostamazinguy]

K1nkyD1sco ableton live 9 > FL studio 12. It's not as pretty but it's hell of a lot more versatile

[@kms2725]

You just need serum and thats it

[@kieflips7217]

serum is two hundred dollars D;

[@stephenward2743]

Tbh you do need a reverb because the one in Ableton is bad. Its god damn awful tbh. Logics reverb will get you by, but Abletons seriously sucks.

[@antoniosvasilellisneto379]

Fuck me all these are expensive as FUCK

[@shitmandood]

Izotope has a FLASH SALE right now for Trash 2 at $29. I got mine.

[@carlvh4296]

If you dont have a math degree then why call yourself Multiplier?
