2 years late but damn i never thought of the frequency shifter method! good video
same lol
Such a great tip - thanks! Always wanted to key my drums better, now I can, and know why it works better this way!
Glad ya liked that one. Cheers!
Damn this is a game changer. Great content!
This was sooo well explained!
Cheers mate!
Thank you so much. Such a short video with enough and detailed content to know the difference between the two shifters. Very well explained.
i realize it's kinda off topic but do anyone know a good place to stream new tv shows online ?
Thank you Kermode loved the tutorial
This was very informational. Thank you!!!
Awesome
I love this
Nice man, very informative and easily understandable. Thanks!
What the. That was magic! Thanks!
This was really helpful, you’re such a great instructor! 😮💨💕🔥
Now days we have MFrequency shifter from Melda productions that make this a lot of easy and effective.
Very useful video brother thanks for sharing ..😊
Cheers!
Thank you for this tip my G!
Cool! Thanks!
You're very welcome.
Your Ableton tips are serious sawse
awesome
Thank mate! Simple but very useful technic
No problem 👍
Learn something new everyday. Thanks!
Absolute game changer
Omh I love you man. This is the best tutorial ever I could find. Thank you very much ❤️❤️
Glad ya liked that one. Cheers!
cheers mate, that's the way to go
so helpful...thanx
Most welcome!
Thnx for this tutorial brother 🎉🎉❤️
You're very welcome. Subscribe and stay in touch!
Very Helpful! Thank You
pretty helpful
Glad to hear!
Brother Thank you so much for this!
This is so helpful thanks dude been struggling with this for months,subscribed one time! does it need to be exact or can one kinda get a feel for the frequency range within the key? secondly i notice a huge difference with the way the sample can be EQ'ed once it is in the correct key,amazing :)
i feels
thanks mate.
Good tip
Glad you liked it
thank you
You're welcome.
Good Video! 👍💪
Great info thanks
Thanks!
Thanks man!!!
SO i get that this nails the fundamental to the key you want but the same shift in hertz in the upper octaves will only be adjusted slightly off pitch of the original tuning. Does that mean that the overtones of the sample don't need to be in tune?
cool tip. So is this only applicable to low frequency drum sounds?
Man. Thank you so much. 👌👌
Very nice!
Very useful :) but how we can do it in logic pro i couldnt find ? 😖 heeeelp
Amazing bro, thanks
Crispy drums forever! Thanks Kermode!
I love you!!
great tute. keep it up!
tx 4 this very nice
hell yeah, nice tip man
Clever! How can you do this in another DAW?
You could use the free Melda plugin that shifts frequency.
@@warpacademy thanks!
Made.My.Day
This is genius
U a legend for this
Wooow, great vid! Thanks for the info this is actually a life saver
This shit is blowing my mind!!! :) YES! thanks you DJ Vespers :) :)
I love you bro
kermode and Vespers? Nice :D
Does it say" frequency shifter "or just "shifter" under AUDIO EFFECTS
Ableton changed the name of the device. I think it's just Shifter now.
@@warpacademy thanks brother, I was confused lol
Kermode?! Here? Wait waaat? :o
Awesome tut as always
dude how would I miss it?! :( i'll watch em ! :D
Yes I'm here :)!
Do you need to tune to the actual key of the song? For example tune to C if it’s C major or Can it be any of the notes in there
What about tuning kicks?
Yes. 100% In our soundbanks that we make at Warp Academy, we tune all our kicks, snares, and toms.
curious if there is a simple cheat like this to do this with a stab/synth one shot? when i open the spectrum to show it its just impossible to tell the highest frequency in the same way u can with a snare or perc
So well spoken man lol
The same technique is used to hi hats?
What would be the difference between and transpose but with actual warp mode on?
The transpose function with Warping will degrade the audio quality due to realtime pitch shifting and time stretching.
So how about different transpose modes? I bet that beat or complex uses same freq. shift algorithm but more quality one
Sidewalk - Видео Дневник this is a very interesting thing you say now, and I d really like to known now if this is true / how the different algorithms work
And need to warp to ensure the length of the clip. But warping a clip "destroys" quality. So maybe using frequency shifter is a good alternative.
SmEn nEmS
warping is simple word to describe complex algorithm. And i bet it uses same freq. shift idea, but optimized for quality pitch shift as it mostly tool neither effect like Frequency Shift audio effect.
It not the same idea. warping uses granular synthesis. The frequency shifter is a unique way to additively shift frequencies rather than mulitplying them like transposition. This only works on drums, it will detune instruments in an unusable way where its harmonics are out of tune with itself
good to know babe
I've seen a couple tutorials on tuning drums now but I haven't seen an A/B comparison that shows whether it really matters to making your mix sound better. Is it just aesthetic?
Well, the fact here is that drums are tonal. Each drum has a pitch. It's especially apparent on snares and toms, but also kicks. Hats and crashes tend to sound more like broadband noise, with less of a distinct pitch, but rides can be very tonal.
So when a drum is out of pitch with your song, some people are going to overlook it, but others will notice and it'll sound clashy.
Also of note is that drums that are pitched correctly will sum or contrast in interesting ways with other musical elements. For example, if your kick and bass is on the tonic, and your snare is on the minor third, and a tom is on the perfect fifth, then it could sound like an arpeggiated minor triad.
@@warpacademy Ahhhh! Thanks!
Would this be useful for kicks and 808s?
Sounds good 👌🏽 thanks for the reply I will play around with this . Thank you!
for some kicks frequency shifting it at all even in the slightest completely ruins it, do u know why this is? some kick samples this technique works fine
Michael Henegan Let me guess, those with a lot of harmonics?
What was the reply?
wow
do you recomend to.kicks also?
Absolutely. Kicks, snares, toms are all very tonal. Cymbals / hats are more like white noise and usually don't usually have a keenly pronounced fundamental that's easy to spot in a spectrum.
@@warpacademy i have tried with kicks but i dont know why its like is changing like is a slow lfo ... and the lfo im fs is off... its very difficult to see the diference but i can hear it in the low frecuencies
YESSSSSSS
BUT WHAT ABOUT COMPLEX PRO OR TONES
Hey Michael. As we'd mentioned in the video, using the transpose function with Warping will degrade the quality of the audio noticeably with drums, especially if you're shifting the pitch down. If you use the Repitch Warp mode, then it won't, because the timing is changed (the audio will simply play faster or slower like in a sampler). We prefer the result you get with the Frequency Shifter method, as long as the shift isn't too extreme.
The main difference to note is that the Frequency Shifter doesn't preserve the harmonic relationships in a sound with overtones, whereas using pitch shifting will. This means the more extreme the shift, the weirder (for lack of a better word!) the drum will sound with Frequency Shifter. Cheers!
thousand tumbs up! :)
Where do I that that frequency shiftier plugin?
It's a native device in Live. But you can use another one, like the free one from Melda.
@@warpacademy thank you
Does this work with 808's also ?
Sure does. It works with any audio source. Cheers!
whats good man, i boosted a snare in my drumrack up like 500hz and its transposed it in a way, why?
***** Like i like to make by beats to 432hz so i can change my sample, kicks, and bass etc to 432hz using the ableton tuner but snares and hi-hats and percussion i just dont know how to approach it any ideas?
shit didnt think of that, would that still work tho due to different keys and frequencies of drums and sounds wouldnt it be hard to get the root key in tune?
what would i use as fequency shifter in cubase?
I quite like MFreqShifter by MeldaProduction. It's free.
It doesnt sound like you tuned it down with the frequency shifter at all. Im still hearing 2 distinct notes.
you can't hear that? 4:42 click 4:49 it's clearly audible, even on my tv speakers
@@jelly8594 nope
@@funkmaster322 okay.
This is so tedious when working with kicks. I cant stand it.
It takes 2 minutes to tune a kick drum properly. Spectrum, identify the fundamental, tune it with Freq Shift. Bounce. Done. Not sure why you're finding that tedious? Keep in mind, there are also sample packs that have pre-tuned kicks and snares and they note the tunings in the sample name. That's even easier. Here's one: www.warpacademy.com/store/leviathan-2/
what can be used in logic
for this ????
You could likely use a third party plugin. Melda would be a good place to start.
awesome
