as a drummer, I've always assumed XO would be a little redundant for what I'm doing, but holy f*, I was wrong. love the the space view, and I love that you can just drag and drop it into an Ableton drum rack for pads 🤯 so so cool!
Thanks for that super nerdy tip. The only thing that's kept me from picking up XO in the past was not being sure if I could process instruments separately (never ever going back to EQing or sidechaining full kits), so I guess this is an option now.
If working in Ableton, can set it up in a drum rack and route to different pads - both for processing each of the 8 sounds separately AND for using Ableton’s standard MIDI clips for more control over patterns. There’s a video on RUclips here that walks through how to setup titled "Using XLN XO inside of Ableton Live Drum Racks Music Production Tutorial."
This is incredible! Don´t know what to do now - I ´ve already got digitakt, octatrack, ableton and so on and I love making my own samples with field recordings. And now this comes along. I´m 45 but it seems my life is too short to use all this possibilities :D
It has been a real treat to watch your style and skills develop over the last few years. I love the darker, more aggressive sound that you've moved into lately.
Super Solid info as always, the rolls got me,, had no idea bout that lil trick ,, so many possibilities wit this thing,, the drag & dropness of it all is priceless, - thanks again,, appreciate the time you take to walk us thru-,,
Just got around to buying this, ten minutes in after watching Your vid it’s blowing everything else I’ve ever used away. It sounds incredible, it’s so intuitive to use and the midi and audio drag and drop is freaking amazing. Thanks for the amazing demo.
OMG thank you Rachel. I've had XO since it came out and got out of the habit of using it. This has vastly increased my understanding of how to use it. Thank you so much....(BTW-I did buy your pack when it came out too-Fab stuff).
Great tutorial Rachel. I have XO already and that quick video really helped me get more comfortable with it. I'm from America so I love the Welsh accent too. 🙂
Great Video Rachel. I really enjoyed the walk through and your explanation was very helpful in terms of how to use it. I’m going to have to give this plug-in a try. 👍🏻
I bought XO about a year ago, but never got to play with it. Your video showed way more than I knew. I have a competing product called Atlas 2,, but I should explore XO more thanks to your excellent demo, and I’ll snag your sample pack when I return from vacation. I am a Logical Pro user, but may bite on the Ableton course once I get some other things done. Many thanks!
But but but but, this plugin is so amazing! I spend a lot of time building my beats and I always feel like I'm doing the same thing and struggling to find the right samples. Between Space and the (really inspiring) presets that can be modified at will, this VST will really help me. Thanks for this video... really.
Always top notch! Btw this tutorial was so helpful, I didn't know about many fuctions - I guess that happens when you don't read the manuall ahaah but I have RKC to get me sorted 😎
Several years ago I bought Spectrasonics Stylus RMX and love it to this day. I was always looking for an alternative with a more modern approach but couldn't really find someting similar as great as Stylus. XO could be finally the thing I was looking for. Great video, thanks so much for showing this in detail.
Stylus RMX is still a massively useful drum tool and has come to the rescue many times when I'm stuck for a groove, loop or percussive element. The fact you can import REX files from sample packs too is a game change! I like XO but I think Atlas 2 is better and offers more options. Overview video I made on how awesome RMX is :) ruclips.net/video/Jma7RJpAHLs/видео.html
Hi Rachel, thanks for the review! I love your videos! I wanted to ask you about the sound you use at min 08:52, it's a beautiful sound! Is it from a hardware plugin or synth?? Thank you!
Right, I've heard of XO before. Definately on my shortlist. What would make me buy quicker though, honestly, if xlnaudio would test on Presonus Studio One as well.
Great vid! Have you been able to use the push combined with xo? I’ve been looking for a way to be able to use my push and just use xo to Switch the drums. Cheers!
It looks almost like finding music in astrological symbols. I've always wondered what's recorded on the rings of Saturn. Probably a recommendation for restaurants in local galaxy.
Great overview, RKC! AI driven sample organizers are a huge game changer! I tried XO and Atlas and landed on the latter for now... but thinking I may get XO in the future, since they have some complementary features. Incidentally did you already explore CR8 and Cosmos from Waves? it's more of a traditional sampler; while XO and Atlas are excellent for percussion, COSMOS has lots of tags for instruments. if you haven't played with it yet, you should check it out! (would love to see how you'd use that tool with your music creation process)
My No.1 plugin. But why can't XO scan and pick all the samples from our own library? Lets say, a folder with 100 wave files couldn't be entirely picked up. I thought it can pick only "one shots". But sometimes it picks 20 seconds long synth files too. Anybody experienced this?
I don't get it - all or almost all of these features, including drums presets and a lot of drum sets and patterns, are in Logic Pro X. Plus the Drummer. For free. Why people don't use Logic Pro X instead?
The same applies to Cubase and groove agent and the sequencer reminds me of the beat designer in Cubase. I guess that the AI driven selection of samples could make a difference. Anyway, nicely done video about the software.
There s a way to build exactly the same thing in ableton without the need of this plugin. the real advantage is the space view and the AI analyzer of the samples. Pity there isnt any midi importation to add patterns from midi files
A question on Ableton Live. Ableton comes with a 3 tier pricing structure, intro, standard and suite. Which are you using? And which would you recommend for starting and future proof growth?
First thanks for doing this.. But 'Wavs'? At first I didn't know what you mean. I know you know it is short for Waveform.. I thought it is pronounced Wave and Waves...
Rachel , Your Voice, Music , are Excellent

Thank you for the in-depth review, Rachel!
When Rachel K Collier releases a new video it's a good day.

I use XO all the time. This is a solid overview of this fantastic plugin
I slept on XO for a while, thinking it wasn’t really “necessary,” but didn’t take long at all once trying it to see how valuable it is. 💎
Very glad to use XO, thanks so much
Thanks Rachel! This is what I just got and having fun with it
I love the interface and the intuitive visual way the sounds are displayed!
Just bought XO and your expansion pack, loving it absolutely!!!
You won’t regret it is THE BEST 💜
@@RachelKCollierRKC thanks for showing me :))))

XO is awesome!!! So fun and creative :)

luv yr stuff
Thanks xxx
@@RachelKCollierRKC Nice one, Rachel!
Many thanks Rachel! Great presentation !!
Love all of your videos especially this one because the love shown to my hometown Myrtle Beach, SC on your shirt!😂🙌🏾
Great Video Rachel. I really enjoyed the walk through and your explanation was very helpful in terms of how to use it. I’m going to have to give this plug-in a try. 👍🏻
This looks absolutely ideal for me. I always hit a brick wall with drum patterns.
This sound bonkers, great video as always!!
Another awesome tutorial by the incredible RKC.
I got XO a couple months back, this will surely come in handy!
Yeah the bouncing audio possibilities are really cool!

I love your music! You inspire so many of us I know it! I’m learning so much from you 🙏 💜
Thanks for that Rach - you nearly had 'pump up the jam' at one point 🎹🚥📝🌹🌹🌹🌼🌼🌼👍🏼
Looks pretty cool and useful for those working strictly in daw.
Nice tutorial Video on the Plugin!
Sympa ce logiciel, je vais tester ça
Amazing product. We’ll done ✅
Didn't expect to see one of my favorite producers wearing a tshirt of the area I live in 🤣🤣
NICE ONE RACHEL x
Now, that looks handy. Scrolling through samples kills my mojo like scrolling through presets.
Always top notch! Btw this tutorial was so helpful, I didn't know about many fuctions - I guess that happens when you don't read the manuall ahaah but I have RKC to get me sorted 😎
wow cool so many pianos
Does this work for indie pop rock?

@@rateandfollow Will check out atlas 2 and your vid on RMX, thanks.
Waves cr8 sampler is good too
and a lot cheaper🙂
I enjoy your video’s and music, and took the step to buy some of your music on iTunes; I can only imagine you would others to follow suit.
Love my XO
Hi Rachel, thanks for the review! I love your videos!
I wanted to ask you about the sound you use at min 08:52, it's a beautiful sound! Is it from a hardware plugin or synth??
Thank you!
You should mention the free alternative Cosmos from Waves it has the same space view and sorting features like XO
The best.
Right, I've heard of XO before. Definately on my shortlist.
What would make me buy quicker though, honestly, if xlnaudio would test on Presonus Studio One as well.

Excellent movie :)
It looks almost like finding music in astrological symbols. I've always wondered what's recorded on the rings of Saturn. Probably a recommendation for restaurants in local galaxy.
Thanks for doing a video on this! I've always been interested in XO but I'm always too scared of trying it out

10:13 bass face!
@Rachel K Collier Purchased XO last year played around some. can I filter all of XO for only acoustic drum samples? thanks for your content! 🥃☺️
My No.1 plugin. But why can't XO scan and pick all the samples from our own library? Lets say, a folder with 100 wave files couldn't be entirely picked up. I thought it can pick only "one shots". But sometimes it picks 20 seconds long synth files too. Anybody experienced this?

Anyway, nicely done video about the software.
Imagine trying to explain this to your date over dinner 🍽
Accentuator like from accents ;)

🌼😍 cool
Still using this ? ❤
I thought I was checking out beat making but .....Sorry,. I can't help it, I'm fixated on that awesome T-shirt..
A question on Ableton Live. Ableton comes with a 3 tier pricing structure, intro, standard and suite. Which are you using? And which would you recommend for starting and future proof growth?
