Make YOUR OWN audio distortions with waveshapers | Sound Design Theory #6

[@pistachos4868]

All your sound design videos on this playlist is a masterpiece, finally i can see a deep enough approach to sound designing

[@ryan1840]

Oh god yes this is exactly the kinda stuff I need. Starting from the beginning.

[@belegestel_]

Greetings from reddit! Such a nice guide on an often overlooked topic

[@50CalBeats]

Incredible explanation of waveshaping. I've seen a few videos and read a few articles that amounted to "just experiment and see how it sounds", which is definitely a valid approach, but your explanation helped clear many things up. Thanks!

[@iamnickycchen]

Man you're so talented! Thanks algorithm helps me to find you.

[@maniafkham6678]

thank you this video is extremly underrated i hope it blows up it deserve more views

[@Yonikaii]

Maaan this series has been awesone! Really clear and helpful! Can't wait for your next vid!

[@aleksdizhe]

I don't get tired saying that this course is a pure gold!!!

[@MarekIwaszkiewiczMusic]

iZotope's Trash 2 has also waveshaping module ^^

[@EarleMonroe]

I had a serious WTF moment thinking, "Did he say 'certified without meat'???" Then I got it - Veggie Waveshaper. Nice!

[@mayurtummewar3312]

this kind of humour is the best stuff

[@mrbjjackson]

This was a brilliant explanation. Thanks very much.

[@laner4195]

Wow, distortion, overdrive, rectify, analog warmth, fuzz, buzz are just gradations of saturation! Thank you, I thought what's the difference between saturation and distortion? Turns out it is the same thing! The difference is just how wave transforms, either harder or softer.

[@Woochia]

Yep! Though the difference between different overdrives for example may involve more subtle elements, like emulating the behaviour of some electronic components, the frequency response, ... But broadly speaking, it's all a matter of harder of softer wave transformations.

[@lukeclark7907]

Awesome help 👍🏻 thanks for sharing and I love your avatar, editing and advice :)

[@junkheadyamiken]

Your voice has a smooth cool bass tone

[@Oi-mj6dv]

Man please keep these tutorials coming they are extremely helpful

[@ritchxmusic]

This is most excellent sir! And I am absolutely shocked this doesn't have 100k views! Keep up the good work. Subbed!

[@littlenickjr]

This was awesome. Thank you very much for sharing.

[@jcdenton868]

if you wanna cut peaks over zero very transparent way add waveshaper with 100%wet setting and leave the linear curve untouched. :)

[@MoeThermodynamics]

Love all the videos in this series, thank you! Looking forward to your next videos!

[@timbrechopper]

Randomly discovered a need for *just* this tutorial. And this was indeed very helpful. Thank you!!

[@Woochia]

Glad you like it. Check out my sound design playlist, there's kind of a part 2 for this at the end where I focus on "how" to use distortions instead of "what" is a distortion. Maybe you'll find it useful as well.

[@killroy2992]

ty this really cleared things up for me, I've been using waveshaping for a long time and have a good understanding how its sounds but it is nice to really understand how it works and what actually happens

[@Woochia]

Thanks! Happy you liked it :)

[@KenSTACKS]

All this...from a simple sine wave...incredible

[@filippetrucha5422]

very well made video! Thank you

[@TheParadox1010]

Underrated channel

[@minhtuan5333]

you are a savior to me !!! thank you very much

[@game_in_black9901]

Thank you !for this series now i understand what buttons are doing !

[@Woochia]

Happy knob tweaking ;)

[@daisyroberts7401]

Nice Video 💙

[@mikolasstrajt3874]

Great explanation!

[@franciscojavierescobart.7609]

what a complete and informative video!

[@kriss12loverap]

Splendid tutorial

[@totothedog8830]

Youre the man for making this

[@jedgould5531]

1:05 Yes! Serum is fiddley! 🎻 I’m in my analog ‘phase’.

[@metamyther]

excellent video. so knowledgeable - thanks!

[@GeorgeL909]

Sooooooo helpful!

[@BenCaesar]

This video us amazing. Instant subscribe

[@Gravity_alert]

Such a great explanation! Thankkkkkk you!

[@testamentblack]

yeah thanks

[@nitroanilinmusic]

13:26 With a bit of ingenuity you can use Shapemaster as a drawable waveshaper.

[@battistasforza4913]

Awesome video. Thank you so much!

[@NATmusic27]

Just brilliant, thanks a lot!

[@aleksdizhe]

Great!

[@donnydarko7624]

When you get to AM synthesis it dawned on me that a leslie speaker is a cross between AM and FM synthesis, obviously you can modulate the carrier wave much faster than os possible on a Leslie though.

[@psionic111]

I keep coming back to this video, as I love how you lay out the foundations of waveshaping so clearly. My own explorations into WS are as a synthesis method for creating new timbres from simple sine or triangle inputs, rather than as a distortion tool. Hope you enjoy this crazy experiment I did about a year before your Sound Design Theory #6 was posted: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnu3iGqun6hrhac

[@alejandropnt]

nice tutorial !

[@EduRGB]

Great video, I've been trying Veggie Waveshaper but it doesnt have any oversaampling. Do you know any plugin where I can draw the surves myself?

[@Woochia]

Not yet, I haven't dug deep in that research yet

[@shualiko]

1st and foremost - thanks so much for this entire series. Amazing work, and amazing generosity. Much appreciated. Also - I'm looking for an oscilloscope like the one used in this video, to further my learning. Would appreciate links, names, whatever. Again - Thanks!

[@Woochia]

Thanks a lot ! The oscilloscope is a max for live device I found a long time ago, it's called "visualizer"

[@shualiko]

Thanks! @@Woochia

[@julioxstaticv3782]

Whats the free waveshaper mentioned?

[@Woochia]

The one I use in this video is Veggie waveshaper but I don't know if the creator's website is still on. Melda production also have a free waveshaper in their free bundle of effects

[@awakeneddepression8583]

Woochia could you please drop a link for the veggie waveshapper it's unavailable now :(

[@Woochia]

I had a link, it got removed. I'll try to put a new one but checkout malda production's free bundle. There should be a free waveshaper in there that is very similar.

[@ringoman08]

hello trig my old friend

MWaveShaper

[@rhinoskin7550]

I love the amount of information but the audio is so odd.. It's like it was sped up then pitched down or something.. I'd love if it were your natural voice.. May be easier to listen to

[@Woochia]

Weird as it is actually my voice. Maybe what makes it weird is the way it's edited, with every sentences put together without any breathing in between.
