How FLANGER, CHORUS & PHASER process your sound - Sound Design Theory

[@ChR_is]

this is one of the best tutorials on modulation effects i have ever seen!

[@seangeisbush]

Your videos are seriously some of the best resources for producers. I've always felt like no one just sits down and explains how all this stuff works. I can't thank you enough!

[@joatrix]

I want you to know that here in South america we love you, you do the best videos about sound. most of latam youtubers doesn't explain well how does process change the sound, many thanks

[@Woochia]

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it :)

[@InvalidUser18]

Im glad I have that tidbit of info on Flanger as it's my favorite effect, I wanna make a pitched flanger but I didn't know the specifics of how it worked so I had to do some research, now I've found that to find the ms of delay the equation 1/hz × 1000 xan be used. This VST gonna be WILD!

[@wolfgang4468]

It's not only the great content but the fantastic, highly intelligible presentation that makes these tutorial so valuable. I wonder how much effort goes into them. Can't thank you enough!

[@seanraye]

All I can say is, I love this.... I have no words to express how impressed I am.

[@Woochia]

Thanks you very much :)

[@PaperClipFlip]

Insanely underrated channel. This was great! Clear and informative, everything I needed. Please never stop making videos!!

[@SamuelFernandoCabral]

Man, your videos are the best in the detailed explanation about sound concepts on youtube! Congrats!

[@Woochia]

Thanks! :)

[@bobbyshomestudio]

Finally found a video that explains this clearly, thanks!

[@RubaShu]

Thank you ! Finally someone who explain what really happens to the signals and the difference between these effects ! you're amazing

[@garethmccray5248]

Fantastic! I'm going to watch on the whole series. Clear explanations, not too much or too little information.

[@Babygoatblood]

So helpful!!! And beginner friendly. Thanks so much, learned a lot !

[@Woochia]

Glad it was helpful!

[@lukasgruber1280]

this is best explaination i found on this

[@jopmens6960]

Interesting, that also explains why the phaser sounds a bit like a formant filter rather than a comb filter per se

[@shingao247]

This is exactly what I need, fantastic tutorial!

[@Woochia]

Thanks!

[@ynskii2165]

You are amazing! these videos are some of the best on youtube!

[@artemi-music]

thanks for explanation, it's much clearer now

[@skra_]

Thank you!

[@Montogoronto]

this is helpful. thanks.

[@paulinaimpala548]

excellent explanation, thank you!

[@TomasEnriqueSierra]

Such a great video!

[@rolandpyle8914]

Really interesting and useful. Thank you.

[@ALL_ONE_SUN]

Thanks! Nice explanation and video!

[@djaspor702]

Freaking amazing and simple explanation to something I had pretty much given up on trying to understand. THANK YOU!

[@Woochia]

I'm glad the video helped :) it's always more fun when we can imagine what is happening behind every knob

[@racman9964]

Man, you are a gem! So nicely explained, thanks for all your work!

[@NANIKANSEIDORIFTO]

great video. just starting to program my own effects and this helped me alot to understand how they work so i can try to come up with my own implementations and then work up from there

[@Woochia]

So cool! I'm happy this was helpful:)

[@ittaital]

This is the best explanation on this topic. Thank you for this upload. However, I do think that in the "flanger" explanation at 2:23, the wording should be "negative feedback or positive feedback" rather than "feed-forward or feed-back". I think that "feed-froward and feed-back" is a mistake in this case.

[@Woochia]

Thanks ! For the feedback, we can say negative or positive feedback, but I used feedback and feedforward terms as I saw them used in many sources to talk about comb filters (Wikipedia, Stanford university, McGill university,...)

[@ascosta]

Perfect video for engineers who are also guitar players 👍🏼🎸

[@JeeMidi82]

What a briljant video. Very clear. Thank you so much!

[@albertofernandez7767]

Perfect explanation!

[@Woochia]

Thanks !

[@hfarstad1137]

This is so well done, exact what info i was needing

[@Woochia]

Thanks! Happy it was useful :)

[@eXpas04]

really good clean video! well done

[@adammason1587]

insanely good!

[@JohnPaulBuce]

nice, love the visuals

[@drodsou]

Fantastic, so well explained, thank you

[@HeliMarjut]

Soo helpful and clear! Thanks!

[@Digitt6]

Fantastic video thank you

[@andreasy870]

Amazing in depth explanation. Thanks!

[@tomasenrique]

Thanks for sharing!

[@jeka_stolenko]

Из-за того, что вся гитарная индустрия построена на догмах, подробных объяснений о принципах работы фейзера, хоруса и флейнджера я не нашёл на ютубе. Приходится обращаться к звукарям. Спасибо за видосыч!

[@Woochia]

You're welcome :) I'm glad this helped!

[@richieritz5803]

Great Channel and great explanation

[@iamsyntact]

I would like to have that comb filter EQ8 preset please

[@mrhappysmile8018]

Thank you !!!

[@victordl9492]

Thanks, very helpful !! :)

[@cassettedisco6954]

Execelente contenido, saludos desde México 🇲🇽

[@j.r.a.inthacut8148]

Amazing content, thank you my friend!

[@baryaish]

Amazing Bro! such a Good explanation!

[@AARVMUSIC]

best explanation ever

[@shaft9000]

Pretty concise. Although I'll contend that this is but pseudo-flanging, because it can only address the portion of the copied audio that is being delayed in time, and not the half that is advanced - as on a genuine 2 tape machine+mixer-to-another-recorder setup.

[@Woochia]

Oh yeah in that context of a two tape machine, yes. And the delay are still delayed one compared to the other, and mixed together, etc...

[@kylehughes2523]

thank

[@neoncut]

Love the way you present and explain. Question: Looking at the numbers in the plugin, the chorus delay time can also be super low, like a flanger's. I wonder how close these two sound with the same delay times 🌚. Thanks for this!

[@Woochia]

Yes they can have the same delay time when you look at the knob, but they don't affect exactly the same thing. The chorus plays with the pitch so it can quickly feel out of tune with a long delay time

[@seanraye]

Do you know what I don't see on KZbin though I don't see anyone arranging the production process step-by-step like as in stage by stage music production steps and then thoroughly explaining in detail what you use when you use it and also having projects that you know followers can follow. So you go through your production process just like PML does with their paid courses, but only on KZbin.... then continue doing projects. That would be a big community. There's a lot of value in that...

[@Woochia]

Good call. This would be easier to find on twitch I guess, as it would be much easier to record the whole process as a live stream. When I made videos where I produce a track, I found it hard to keep everything during the edit. A lot of parts need to be cut out to keep a good pace. But maybe there's a way to do it, but it would still be a very long video I think

[@seanraye]

@@Woochia oh I get you. I understand 👍. PML does it in 5 to ten minute videos within a project per project. So it's really sectioned out. But thank you I'll check out twitch.. not to take anything away here your are doing exceptional work bro. 👏 I'll always be around...

[@vilvd3934]

good content 👍👍 very happy

[@juliandevalois]

And what does the lfo on the flanger and phaser change ? The volume, the pitch or something else ?

[@Woochia]

On the flanger it changes the delay time between the two signals. It's similar for the phaser, except all frequencies are not delayed by the same amount.

[@weixhee7862]

thx！

[@yummygummy2133]

I love you

[@ALL_ONE_SUN]

Are those cartoon character poses inspired by 3blue?😁

[@Woochia]

Not particularly 3blue. That was just a chibi version of myself drawn by a friend :)

[@prodbyryshy]

harmonic series for those who failed calc 3

[@thisdudeisadude]

so basically flanger is just a preset of EQ and a little delay

[@Woochia]

Haha, you can see it that way x)

[@TheGrainhas]

Good tutorial, but try using not only a less annoying sound sample, one that we can relate to, like a guitar note. In a way is like they all sound the same with that noise.

[@rmanpojo8485]

ott=?

[@Woochia]

For the OTT, this is not in this episode as the OTT is a multi and compressor. You can find a small section about it in the episode about compressors, or you. Can see it more in action in my last video about dubstep sound design

[@rmanpojo8485]

@@Woochia ok but what is OTT ?

[@Woochia]

@@rmanpojo8485 Ah! OTT, originally, was a preset for Ableton's multi band compressor. Basically it cuts your sound in 3 bands (low/mid/high) and compresses the hell out of it, so all 3 bands will be brought at the same level no matter what. So it makes a flat sound that loses all its dynamics (there's no quiet or loud anymore, it's all brought at the same volume), but it's been used a lot in dubstep to reveal texture and grain in the sound. It got so popular that Xfer (the company who made Serum) recreated it as a free VST plugin. It's used by many MANY producers who often put one, two or even three of those in their effect chains, even before starting to design their sound, because they know they want that HEAVY compression to make their sound go brrrrrr (OTT stands for "over the top")

[@mo_omarr]

[@oak7741]

i would really love these videos but god your demonstrations go on for just slightly too long, mixed with really annoying example melodies, it really just makes me wanna click off

[@terrypussypower]

What’s an “OTT”? And please don’t say “over the top”!

[@Woochia]

That's a multiband compressor. It's like there one compressor for the bass, one for the mid and one for the highs. And they all do both upward and downward compression. OTT is a particular preset of that, with very tight settings. I'd say it's over the top.

[@roikorginal]

great explanation! thank you!

[@tomasenrique]

Such a great video!

[@dmnC.]
