🎹 Try Output Arcade for Free: bit.ly/arcade-free-trial 🕹 I'm a total believer in Arcade, are you? What's been good about it? What's been frustrating? What's some of your favorite Lines? Let me know, I'm bored 🥱
Ah that sounds very exciting. What do you mean by the hook of a song? Like I have different acapellas of songs that I want to do different remixes. Does it mean taking certain parts of a song to create the remix
@@christina9898979 yeah take certain parts of the song. Whether it's a really cool vocal riff, or melody line from an instrument. Whatever is most catchy see what you can do it. Maybe you can make it even catchier? Or make something that's inspired by it. That works great for remixes.
Glad this video could help! And I do like to have a more calm presence on screen rather than a big personality. I just feel like music production can feel complicated, so I like to help viewers feel like it's ok to struggle.
A really excellent intro thank you ! I find its so easy to get overwhelmed with Output and all its got. You have a really good way of calmly helping us understand it more. If you ever created an in depth tutorial I would be first in line ( no pun intended !) to pay for it.
You got it, and thanks for watching! Yes, Arcade has grown into its own ecosystem, so it can be a little intimidating, so i'm really happy I can offer some guidance. And who knows, maybe I start to make some in-depth tutorials. I'd love it if output were to sponsor me to make them haha!
@@ThisIsOnesto Well there really is a gap in the market for an up to date tutorial covering all the bases. I write using piano and guitar and want to be able to play the piano into Output and somehow get a type of accompaniment or ideas for my songs. I am now encouraged to take another look so thanks again :)
Yoooo, thanks! I'm always trying to make these videos as best they can. I hate music prod videos that suck, so just trying to stay out of that category!
Great question, the last I checked, you still need to play the midi and bounce to audio to "export" a sample. You could probably download a sample and then dig through some folders on your computer to find it, but I think just playing it out as MIDI and then bouncing to audio is the easier way to go.
Thanks so much for watching! It's always to good to hear that these videos are helpful. I'm not sure if this will totally answer your request, but I have another video on Arcade: ruclips.net/video/HOOdWunC6qY/видео.html Check it out to learn more on how to use this fun plugin!
So glad you're loving Arcade. As far as I know, there's not a simple way to get separate outputs for each key. That's actually something I wish I could do sometimes especially with Kits that include drums, bass, melodies, etc. It'd be really nice to separately export as MIDI or audio those tracks. My work around isn't too convenient. It's pretty much muting other samples, so the sample I want to bounce is sort of "soloed". It's a long way to do it, but it works
Thk u u were very informative n dope mix but how do u record? Im using it with garage band.. im lost but the app is soooo cool! Im trying to experiment like u said..
Glad you found the video helpful! I haven't tried Arcade inside Garageband. I know it works for sure in there though. I would guess to record you would record with MIDI like you would with any other plugin inside Garageband. If that doesn't try watching this video, a lot of other users seem to be having the same problem: ruclips.net/video/iCLenhKdyBU/видео.html
That's a good question. You can use Arcade as a Stand-Alone program. You can also use it with any DAW or program in 64 bit vst, vst3, au, and aax formats. If you want even more details on what programs you can use it with, check out this webpage: support.output.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043216033-Arcade-System-Requirements
Yeah this new update is really really good. I might never get rid of Arcade now. But you're totally right, it's CPU heavy. That's always been an issue too, but I hope that Output finds ways to make it lighter. Good to hear from you again! What's some of your favorite Lines?
You can kind of do your own vocals. What you can do is drag in your vocal or any sample, and Arcade can cut up the vocal sample and assign it across your MIDI. Hope that offers some help.
Since this video, Arcade had a big update. There are now two ways to play Arcade. With Kits, like how you see in this video. And with Notes/Instruments. In this new mode, you pretty much load up instrument presets that you can play like any other MIDI instrument so you'll be able to use your own MIDI chords.
Any good tips to make it work better on. 8gb ram Mac? I’m guessing to get a 16gb Mac.. I’m old enough to Remember the days when you could run a daw just fine on 512 ram
I can't think of any good tips off the top of my head. Arcade does run pretty heavy. I have no idea why, and I'm hoping that Output finds ways to have it run more efficiently. Yeah getting a 16gb mac would help, but I wish that wasn't the best solution. Thanks for watching though!
Great questions. First click the settings button in the bottom left. Then click Content Storage. Here you'll find where those downloads are being sent, and you can also set where you want these samples to go. And to tell the difference between a sampler kit and note kit, I guess there's a couple of main ways. The first is that after you select a kit to play look at the keyboard at the bottom. If you see colored symbols for the black keys, then you're using a Sampler Kit. Note Kits will look like a normal keyboard at the bottom. Also when you open up a Line you can toggle between the Sampler and Note Kit tabs. This is another easy way to tell if you're searching between the two. Hope this all helps!
That's a good question, there's a few Lines in here for that. There's Hooked, which has a bunch of vocal chops. I use this one a ton. There's Distant Voices which is great for background ambient vocals, (ooous and aaahhs). And there's a vocoder one called Vocoded(?). Which has a ton of Vocoded vocals. If you're looking for vocal phrases, you won't find it in arcade. But if you need anything that I listed above, there's a good amount of material to play with
@@ThisIsOnesto wait so how do i use that feature because every time i’m in logic, i move my recording to the instrument (apparently ur supposed to open arcade under instrument in order to use it) slot so the enhancements can go into effect and they don’t so the “hooked” feature don’t even go into effect.
of course, you got it. I'm always trying to waste no one's time with these tutorials. So keeping them as informative and clear as possible is always the goal.
i am trying to understand the program and it told me that i can use my computer keyboard but when i am using arcade with Ableton live it some reason stops using my keyboard. can i get any help with this cuz four days now I've been trying to figure out how to fix this issue and I haven't found a way to compromise this problem
I'm sorry you're having that problem. I don't have Ableton but I found that if the Cap Lock is on then I can use the keyboard to play arcade. Another thing to make sure if that your keyboard is playing in the correct MIDI range inside of Arcade. I hope that helps!
I wish I could help you out! I don't have Audacity or Cakewalk. However on the other DAWs i tried this with, if you open up Arcade inside the DAW itself , it typically records like any other kind of plugin instrument. Hopefully that helps!
Hi I'm 2 month in and love the sounds but the GUI is so slow and tidious. These kit images are cool at first but I find them very annoying now and they just take up to much screen size. Is there a way to simplify the view? Like a regular preset browser with just presetnames?
That makes a lot of sense. And I think that's offering a simplified view is a great idea. Maybe they're listening in??? However, what can be helpful for you is shrinking the Arcade window. You can do that by clicking the little cog in the lower left corner and then selecting Window Size. Here you can shrink it down a lot. Hopefully that helps solve the problem a little.
To play the black keys as sharp notes, you’ll need to make sure that you’re playing an Instrument, instead of a Sampler. Once you select a line, there will be a tab labeled as Sampler and Instrument. When playing a Sampler, the black keys act as modifiers. But once you’re using an instrument, you can play the keyboard just like you would any other instrument.
@@ThisIsOnesto Thanks for info. I appreciate brother. 🙏🏻 Arcade is not my go to plugin although I have it but I liked a sample but couldn’t use the sharps, that’s why I asked, so I’ll use an instrument instead of it.
That's a great question. Yes, they can. The more you use Arcade, you'll actually start recognizing major artists using Arcade samples and kits. And that isn't a bad thing. If you do want your samples to sound different, you can make use of the Modifiers or effects macros to make them more unique.
Thanks for the video Sir :-) , but i m facing an issue. I am not even able to login in the app, all the time it says "We are unable to detect an internet connection.", even if i have very fast and stable internet connection. Could you pls tell me how to fix it?
Glad you liked the video! What you're experiencing is definitely not supposed to happen. I would try completely uninstalling Arcade. Check out this article to help you out: support.output.com/hc/en-us/articles/360042744934-How-To-Completely-Uninstall-Arcade And then reinstall it. That's my best guess, hopefully it works
Anyone have a problem running Arcade on an M1 or newer Mac? It refuses to connect to the internet. I tried reinstalling, tried resetting all plugins in Logic. Everything else works perfectly, ultra fast fiber internet. Any suggestions???
A lot of DAWs and Arcade let you use your laptop keys. Try using the row that the letter A is on, so the keys, asdfghjkl, these act as the white keys. And the black keys are some of the keys on the Q row. To Transpose up and down, you can try the letters Z and X. Give that a go, hopefully that's the answer you're looking for.
It's great that you downloaded to just check it out, way to step out there. And thanks for asking that question, it's kind of a common one. It sounds like right now you're using Arcade in Stand-Alone mode. If you're using it that way then you can play with Arcade and save your own presets, but there is no way to record. To do that, you'll need to use Arcade in a DAW (i.e. Garageband, Logic, Ableton). Once you do that you would record with Arcade as you would with any other MIDI instrument. Does that make sense or am I misunderstanding you?
hey I have arcade and I still can't figure out how to save what I create and import it out or even save what I create I've been struggling with that so bad so I can start recording with the sounds I create

you're saying this application doesn't allow me to easily download any of the music I make on it without somehow running it through another program?@@ThisIsOnesto
Good questions, it looks like Arcade is compatible with pretty much all DAWs: support.output.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043216033-Arcade-System-Requirements
My question / suggestion for next video is this. How do you make your own drum kits samples and use output as its own d a w. I want to make dark trap heavy Bass pop and snares crispy hi-hat chops type music. Can you make a tutorial on making your own drums with this in mind? Songs I want my beats to sound like.

Nice, that's great that you're a beginner! Let's see, for remixes, Arcade can be a good tool. If you're interested I would try dropping in vocal phrases or the hook of a song into Arcade and make it a custom kit. Then with that custom kit you are can start play around and hopefully find something cool. I can see Arcade also being good for finding drum beats and breaks for the remix too. What's great about Arcade now is that you can access their kits and notes (which are pretty much instrument presets). So Arcade can definitely be used well for a remix. Is there anything else you're wondering about as a beginner using Arcade?
@@christina9898979 yeah I think it can be good for that as well. The nice thing is that you'll be able to try out lots of different loops quickly. So it should speed up the sample searching process. Give it a shot!
Good question. If samples are running slow I would first try clicking the tweak button on the top. Then hit the sample that is running slow, and then look to the right of the menu under "speed'. Here you can set the sample to 4 different speeds. Hopefully that helps.
That's a good question. I'm not sure if you can drag a sample directly into Ableton. What you can do is load up Arcade with the samples you like and then write it out with MIDI and then bounce that clip. Then you would be able to use the sample as Audio. Hopefully this helps
That's a solid question. I had a lot of confusion too, when I first started using Arcade. Hopefully this helps. With Arcade you can use it as any other virtual instrument inside a DAW to record with. You can also use Arcade as a stand-alone app (to play around with). If you're hoping to build together a song inside of Arcade, that's unfortunately not what it's made for. The good news is that Arcade works in pretty much every DAW, even free ones like Garageband. Once you open up Arcade inside a DAW you can use it to record, and then use the DAW to arrange your song. Let me know if that all makes sense.
@@icarus6713 that's a big question and everyone has tons of opinions about that. This is my recommendation though. If you're still unsure how deep you want to go on music production, use something free like Garageband or Reaper. If you want to take the plunge, then consider Logic Pro or Ableton. To figure out which one of those to choose, I would watch some RUclips videos to see what the workflow is like, and which you're more interested in. In the end, all you can make music with all DAWs, it's most important to learn how to use them like the back of your hand.
why is it every video on here does the same what i need to now is basic how to down load the samples to your pc so i can work on them in my daw or direct from my arcade to daw

I have been paying for Arcade over two years and I’m about to cancel since I never use it. I don’t like the workflow comparing this to eg NI. I WISH I liked it because I like the sounds a lot
I experienced something really similar when Arcade was first released. I had arcade but never really used it, so I unsubscribed for a little over a year, and I didn't miss it. But then I got bored again, and decided to pick up Arcade again and found myself having a lot more fun with it. It's a long winded way of saying that I think you're doing the right thing. If a music tool is frustrating you, it's no problem to get rid of it to try something that is working better for you. There's a lot of cool stuff on sale now at Native Instruments, so it's the perfect time to check them out.
@@ThisIsOnesto yeah I love NI. I own Komplete and next to uJam it’s my favorite. I found a video on Arcade yesterday about a new feature where you can actually play full chords with the Arcade sounds….that MIGHT be something cool but I need to check it out first. So many tools……it’s a luxury. I always think about the hip hop pioneers and their creativity with such limited access to good equipment in the early 80s. Good thing that there have been some power black outs because that resulted in some proper distribution of equipment and with that the birth of legendary pioneers… So in other words: I don’t have any excuse not to dig deeper….. 😎
Been using arcade sporadically for 2 years. It can be exciting to use but the user interface is just bad. It's very conceptual but not particularly practical . The difficulty making their plug ins operable when moving between DAWS, computers and collabs has been really frustrating as well.
Yes the GUI is a mess and I end up scrolling and scrolling forever. I will prob go nuts and stop my subscription after 2 month. A simple preset browser? Is it to much to ask for in 2022
Hahaha, that's part of the reason why I started making plugin videos. I often found myself still confused after watching music production videos that I wanted to make the best videos I can for the music producer community!

only way i can get them in my daw is to record them but sounds bad so far any suggestions i'm using mixcraft
Imagine if output created a groove box, with buttons/knobs deeply integrated with Arcade. It would sell like hot cakes
I honestly wouldn't put it past them. They're always adding big things in each update.

A lot of DAWs and Arcade let you use your laptop keys. Try using the row that the letter A is on, so the keys, asdfghjkl, these act as the white keys. And the black keys are some of the keys on the Q row.
To Transpose up and down, you can try the letters Z and X. Give that a go, hopefully that's the answer you're looking for.
i downloaded it but i dont know to record any of the tracks i know nothing about it at all just downloaded it cause i wanted to get into it
It's great that you downloaded to just check it out, way to step out there. And thanks for asking that question, it's kind of a common one.
It sounds like right now you're using Arcade in Stand-Alone mode. If you're using it that way then you can play with Arcade and save your own presets, but there is no way to record. To do that, you'll need to use Arcade in a DAW (i.e. Garageband, Logic, Ableton). Once you do that you would record with Arcade as you would with any other MIDI instrument.
Does that make sense or am I misunderstanding you?
hey I have arcade and I still can't figure out how to save what I create and import it out or even save what I create I've been struggling with that so bad so I can start recording with the sounds I create

@@ThisIsOnesto YES THANK YOU SO MUCH YEAH I GOT A FREE TRIAL IN ARCADE BUT I DONT THINK ILL BE ABLE TO DO THAT LOL
you're saying this application doesn't allow me to easily download any of the music I make on it without somehow running it through another program?@@ThisIsOnesto
What DAW is this compatible with?
Good questions, it looks like Arcade is compatible with pretty much all DAWs: support.output.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043216033-Arcade-System-Requirements
My question / suggestion for next video is this. How do you make your own drum kits samples and use output as its own d a w. I want to make dark trap heavy Bass pop and snares crispy hi-hat chops type music. Can you make a tutorial on making your own drums with this in mind? Songs I want my beats to sound like.

@@ThisIsOnesto making emo look good as long as I've known you!
Yea but like how do I put together my music and record it to make a beat.

since i'm a beginner is it good for doing remixes of songs
Nice, that's great that you're a beginner! Let's see, for remixes, Arcade can be a good tool. If you're interested I would try dropping in vocal phrases or the hook of a song into Arcade and make it a custom kit. Then with that custom kit you are can start play around and hopefully find something cool.
I can see Arcade also being good for finding drum beats and breaks for the remix too.
What's great about Arcade now is that you can access their kits and notes (which are pretty much instrument presets). So Arcade can definitely be used well for a remix.
Is there anything else you're wondering about as a beginner using Arcade?
I do have yet another question, uum.. would it be good also for remixing an acapella with an instrumental
@@christina9898979 yeah I think it can be good for that as well. The nice thing is that you'll be able to try out lots of different loops quickly. So it should speed up the sample searching process. Give it a shot!
And if you need check out my other Arcade video about the best ways to use it. There should be some good tips in there for you to try out.
Any solution on the sample playin slow
Good question.
If samples are running slow I would first try clicking the tweak button on the top. Then hit the sample that is running slow, and then look to the right of the menu under "speed'. Here you can set the sample to 4 different speeds.
Hopefully that helps.
@@ThisIsOnesto thank you I found the solution the sync button was synced to a different tempo rather than project tempo and that's why it was slow
@@thedescendedchild6059 there you go! glad you figured that out. have fun with Arcade.
How to do you drag a sample into ablenton live ? 😅
That's a good question. I'm not sure if you can drag a sample directly into Ableton. What you can do is load up Arcade with the samples you like and then write it out with MIDI and then bounce that clip. Then you would be able to use the sample as Audio. Hopefully this helps
so you can't put anything together ? I'm super new and just downloaded it so its just to play around not to make music ?
That's a solid question. I had a lot of confusion too, when I first started using Arcade. Hopefully this helps.
With Arcade you can use it as any other virtual instrument inside a DAW to record with. You can also use Arcade as a stand-alone app (to play around with).
If you're hoping to build together a song inside of Arcade, that's unfortunately not what it's made for. The good news is that Arcade works in pretty much every DAW, even free ones like Garageband.
Once you open up Arcade inside a DAW you can use it to record, and then use the DAW to arrange your song.
Let me know if that all makes sense.
@@ThisIsOnesto my man thank you so much any Recs on daws
@@ThisIsOnesto so I can’t drag anything from arcade to garage band ?
@@icarus6713 that's a big question and everyone has tons of opinions about that. This is my recommendation though. If you're still unsure how deep you want to go on music production, use something free like Garageband or Reaper. If you want to take the plunge, then consider Logic Pro or Ableton.
To figure out which one of those to choose, I would watch some RUclips videos to see what the workflow is like, and which you're more interested in. In the end, all you can make music with all DAWs, it's most important to learn how to use them like the back of your hand.
@@icarus6713 I don't think you can drag anything out of Arcade, only into Arcade.
When using Garageband, you will be recording with Arcade via MIDI.
why is it every video on here does the same what i need to now is basic how to down load the samples to your pc so i can work on them in my daw or direct from my arcade to daw
mmmm different version to mine?
Yeah, that's probably the case.
I think when I made this video it was an older version of it. The new one has a bunch of new stuff!
HOW DO I RECORD?!

Does that make sense or am I misunderstanding you?
I have been paying for Arcade over two years and I’m about to cancel since I never use it. I don’t like the workflow comparing this to eg NI.
I WISH I liked it because I like the sounds a lot
I experienced something really similar when Arcade was first released. I had arcade but never really used it, so I unsubscribed for a little over a year, and I didn't miss it. But then I got bored again, and decided to pick up Arcade again and found myself having a lot more fun with it.
It's a long winded way of saying that I think you're doing the right thing. If a music tool is frustrating you, it's no problem to get rid of it to try something that is working better for you. There's a lot of cool stuff on sale now at Native Instruments, so it's the perfect time to check them out.
@@ThisIsOnesto yeah I love NI. I own Komplete and next to uJam it’s my favorite. I found a video on Arcade yesterday about a new feature where you can actually play full chords with the Arcade sounds….that MIGHT be something cool but I need to check it out first.
So many tools……it’s a luxury. I always think about the hip hop pioneers and their creativity with such limited access to good equipment in the early 80s. Good thing that there have been some power black outs because that resulted in some proper distribution of equipment and with that the birth of legendary pioneers…
So in other words: I don’t have any excuse not to dig deeper….. 😎
Been using arcade sporadically for 2 years. It can be exciting to use but the user interface is just bad. It's very conceptual but not particularly practical . The difficulty making their plug ins operable when moving between DAWS, computers and collabs has been really frustrating as well.
Yes the GUI is a mess and I end up scrolling and scrolling forever. I will prob go nuts and stop my subscription after 2 month. A simple preset browser? Is it to much to ask for in 2022
WHO thumbs down Onestooo?!!!
No wonder music has become so canned and boring and formulaic.
This the worst pluggin for the worst musicians
who needs to pay to do a producing course when we got Onesto out here blessing us the skills for free lol
Hahaha, that's part of the reason why I started making plugin videos. I often found myself still confused after watching music production videos that I wanted to make the best videos I can for the music producer community!
