YOU TEACH SO WELL I NEED TO BINDGE WATCH ALL YOUR VIDEOS RIGHT NOW. man if only other channels explained and taught stuff so effortlessly. you just made all these concepts click with me so quickly
crazy, I was playing with this exact same setup just a couple weeks ago didn't arrive at the same magic sweetspot as you, was just kinda making cool noises and seeing if I could find anything special
@@kennethsmith5383 I mean, I think AU5 heard something I didn't and managed to find how this was useful in a way that wasn't as intuitive to me I was listening for something else at the time, and going far more extreme with the frequency shifter I also don't know if I'd personally have been brave enough to call this "inventing a filter" I'm not criticizing AU5 for this title at all, just personally wouldn't have even crossed my mind to claim that edit: almost forgot, thank you, I should do more
I made a Razor preset a few years ago called 'Vertical Phaser'. The patterns look as if the waves are swinging perpendicular to time axis. Mindblowing!
Okay, followed along like a good student, but than at the end a whole bunch of stuff happens in a millisecond: duplicate it 4 times (why?), reset (how?), macros are mapped off screen (which?). Will try, but would love to get a bit of insight about these steps too!
Duplicate to increase the rolloff of the filter by adding more poles to the same frequencies (makes the effect more intense, so might be nice to add a chain selector with a dry/wet knob). reset by selecting all the ultracomb filter effect chains (On windows: shift + click or ctrl + click individually) and then turning them all off and then back on at the same time. I can't figure out what "invert" is mapped to, but the others are self explanatory. "AP" means all-pass which maps to the three key parameters in the phaser. Edit 1: Invert Update From Another comment below thanks to @sionnachs_workshop "map the inverts on both phasers to a macro. open up the map options. set one range from 0-64 and the other from 64-127. that should make it so when the macro crosses the mid point it'll flip the inverts on both."
Man, I bet this kind of skill would translate well into pulling crazy stuff with radio waves. Your understanding of waveform manipulation is just wild!
I think I need to watch it again. I was mesmerized by the sounds and barely listened to the explanation. but yeah something something comb and allpass filters and phase inversions. nice
I love your sound, and I've always described it to people as sort of liquidy. Singularity, Snowblind, Dreaming, Blossom, and Crossroad are probably some of the best archetypal examples of my music taste in 2014. The sound this creates is just perfect and instantly takes me back.
I love the short-hair, honestly. Feels very fitting, bet it feels freeing too. This was a very inspirational video, thanks for sharing. Building my own filters snow and getting into fun effect chain shenanigans!!
Incredible. I also learned more about Ableton and audio effect chains than I did in most videos actually about that subject, so extremely well done sir! Instantly subbed
There was a subject called “Signal Processing” at my University. You could easily be a lecturer on this subject. It is very important in experimental physics and astronomy.
Ah meant to watch this last month! Sounds pretty good. I've made similar stuff in VCV, need to find a phase inverter module to replicate this exactly. Also I'm surprised you didn't patch some feedback in, I've found that really helps to make the effect stronger with frequency shifting. Nice work!
I do something similar to get a robotic kind of effect on vocals. (Add delay and paste 2 instances of the vocal into the playlist and shift em slightly on the snap to grid "none" setting)
Damn, the part at 0:19 sounds like a vocal for a psytrance song or something haha. I'm already imagining the melodies lol but for real this thing sounds powerful, AND you show how you make it for free? heavy respect
Hello! what parameter did you assign to the invert macro knob? did you use a limiter in each of the four copies of effect? Its really loud (of course, x4 + chains)
So as best I could figure out, you map macros to macros, ie to map the notches from the phaser, map it to a phaer macro, then map macro that to a flanger macro, then map that macro to the ultracomb marco. I dont know what he mapped "invert" to, but ap pinch is phaser spread, ap amount is notches, ap cutoff is phaser centre, sheperd is "fine" in the shifter, and the delays are just the relevant times. then once all the macros are assigned to one ultracomb, you group that again, and assign all the maros to the new group. from there you can duplicate the ultracomb and all the macros will keep their assignment. giving you control over all the duplicated ultracombs. hope this makles any sence because I got really mad when he just skipped over the step that makes the whole hting usable... WQould love to know any thoughts as to what he mapped "Invert" to??
very great video , very well composed , i'm really curious about that sonogram , the oscilloscope on top and the RMS meter at the right , they seem very compact and useful , can you tell me where to get them ?
I don't think his setup has any feedback going on; at least, when I recreated it in Snap Heap I didn't involve any feedback (experimented with adding it but made things sound a bit muddy!)
This is amazing. I was wondering if you could do a quick overview of how you made the same effect in Snapheap? I got in the ballpark following the Ableton workflow, but I couldn't quite get it there.
Was following along until the part where he says "to make this a very powerful effect, lets create macros" because it fast forwards and doesn't show what parameters he mapped... not sure what I'm supposed to map to the "Invert" knob, "Shepard" knob, "AP Amount," "AP Cutoff," or "AP Pinch." Would love some assistance with this, also how does he have a channel titled Ultracomb but parameters from deep inside its groups are on the macros? I can only map parameters that are within the group rather than within groups of groups... thanks in advance.
Invert- inverts the phase of the two phasers. 0-64 turns the phase invert off one and on the other, 64-127 turns the opposite phaser invert on/off Shepard - mapped to the frequency shift knob of the shifter but more constrained in the mapping AP- means “all-pass” and that is the 3 main parameters of the phaser

This is one of the greatest sound design tutorials I have ever had the joy of watching on this platform. I love comb filters. Great work.
Comb filters are my favourite colour bass
There are those who make music,
And those who pioneer music.
You sir are one of the most talented and visionary. Thank you for sharing your gifts.
Him and VR are gifts to the producing community.

Reminds me of how the radio was invented by 2 people individually from eachother. Keep on the inventing track :D

the entire sfx send chain in one plugin crazy
Amazing!!! I will create a version of this in Bitiwig. Thanks for the knowledge. Definitely checking the school of bass
The king is back
tutorials like these are absolute gold, straight forward using free equipment creating awesome custom!zable stuff! thank you!
Sounds like Harmor, if sound design remade. Impressive
Does this just prove Harmor is still the most powerful and misunderstood synth?
Not really. Harmor is amazing but it's not perfect.
Was gonna say this is very similar to harmor phaser

what are you supposed to duplicate 4 times ? Just the delay / phaser / freq shifter module or both delay / phaser / freq shifter + delay / flanger ?

Just saw you at mission a couple hours ago. Thanks for the great evening!
This is genuinely so incredible.
There was a subject called “Signal Processing” at my University. You could easily be a lecturer on this subject. It is very important in experimental physics and astronomy.
My first thought - sidechain and use audio to change the parameters. Could get some really interesting stuff like that.
thank you for the knowledge share. super interesting seeing you work on this patch!
Sick vid, Austin. Hope you're well, my dude.

Plus that Filter doh, Magic ! 🥳
I managed to do it in Snap Heap thank you so much !
Using a real flanger lets you have even more controls. Plus you can add convoler phase IRs 👽
Its so fun just watching your spectogram make some weird ass shapes as you adjust things. Sound is art!!!
bro is using Ableton like a massive modular synth and I love it
So amazing. Thank you for sharing. I love the sounds that you are able to make with this.
This is amazing!!!
it doesnt sound like the windowlicker EP, but it gives me the same feeling when i hear it.
I've never seen a better sound designer than AU5
it's gorgeous to watch, too...
Can we get a video on how you made it in kilohearts? I wanna use this on distorted guitar to make some futuristic djent shoegaze
I do something similar to get a robotic kind of effect on vocals. (Add delay and paste 2 instances of the vocal into the playlist and shift em slightly on the snap to grid "none" setting)
If you started releasing some of these incredible M4L things as standalone VSTs, you could make a killing. I know I'd buy em!
dubstep 2 was the realest comment i saw
I have watched this like 42 times, and my mind is still exploding.
Witchcraftery and goblinisms 🤩🎧
I highly suggest using screenkey or something similar to show what buttons you're actually pressing during these tutorials.
Delays, frequency shifters, and all-passes? Three of my favorite ingredients!
