Also from the NI Komplete collection: The Kontakt library Kinetic Metal with Motion activated and processed with an effects chain consisting of EchoMelt 2, ColourCopy and Blackhole to taste makes for some really tense soundscapes. But Kinetic Toys is currently my favorite for all sorts of interesting evolving soundscapes.
Geosonics is another Soniccouture goody worth exploring for this sort of use. Am old enough to remember Chris Watson as part of Cabaret Voltaire, one of the strangest bands to come out of the post punk explosion. Nag Nag Nag was a classic, I still have the 7” single.
Oh boy, I'm all about 'em spooks! :D Edit: some of my favorites: Kinetic Metal - for intangible textures. Good with lo-fying so nothing is "understandable". Titanium Rhythm - An old BFA sample pack from many years ago (can't find copies on amazon/ebay anymore...). Amazing for heavy HEAVY percussive sounds. Spitfire Glass & Steel - For layering and contrast. Sounds pretty and prestine. You can gradually bring on textures and percussion more seamlessly. Has nice drones too.
The most obvious example of it's use is from this old song from SH4: ruclips.net/video/_XutgeGcqV0/видео.html I think everything in that one is TR, except the choir, and the... moaning?
Man, LCO Strings is super tempting for those creepy violin tremolos alone. But similar results can be had with other libraries, maybe with divisi splits with a little subtle detune between them. Even on sale, that's quite an asking price for something I'd personally be buying for just a few violin articulations. Although, I don't write ethereal or tense film scores (yet!), but it would totally be perfect for that.
Hi, a simple trick to avoid continuous auto-focus problems: turn it off and focus manually on the pop filter. You may get out of the DOF here and there, but it's better than camera trying to compensate every time you move your head a little. Great stuff otherwise :)
Yes, people sometimes need to be nudged to subscribed. I did. :) Great choice for creepy music. I would add The Dark Side from EastWest. It has it's drawbacks. Some of distorted samples breakup and could be better. But it comes with the ComposersCloud and I use it a fair amount.
Hi Jeff, have you tried Vienna Symphonic Library's Big Bang Orchestra "Regulus"? Very scary strings like Penderecki's score from "The Shining". I would definitely add BBO Regulus to your list.
I think Heavyocity Evolve, an oldie but a goodie should be in the list as it is also a great lib for this type stuff in my opin, I still use it to this day.
All good stuff! I have the Spitfire LCO strings and think it is superb. I saw Woody (Woody Piano Shack) playing with Kinetic Toys and thought that it looked interesting too. Incidentally, I like the new camera angle, but is there some sort of auto focus madness going on? :-)
Yeah, I’ll figure out the auto focus stuff. It’s actually fun to start, see a bunch of mistakes and then learn to master the camera after a few videos. Appreciate the feedback!
It didn't spoil my enjoyment. I like to mess with stuff out of the box too and only end up at RTFM or on RUclips 'How to.....' videos when I'm really stumped (or tight for time) :-)
0:16 *spits water out*
Diggin' the new setup, Boss.
I'm here to entertain the people
That's the best RUclips name ever. You win the internet today Bowie, Star wars, nwa mash up person.

Hi! Who are the developers of those effects? Thanks!
Kinetic Metal is my bread and butter for textures. Takes a lot of CPU though, so I'll soon have to bounce when I use more than 4-5 patches... :/
@@PantaFlux thank you!
Amazing recommendations, thank you!

Great love this video thanks for the head up on those spooky sounds
Thanks for this! Love it as usual.
I'm planning on making a spooktober themed video, so this comes in handy!

Glass and Steel is key for mood. Haven’t heard of Titanium...will check it out.

What is lo-fying?
@@karlhans6678 Distortion, bit-crusing, adding noise. General audio degradation on KM is amazing imo! :P
Nice Info man! Btw what mic are you using?
Thanks for introducing me to Soniccouture!
No problem. They’re incredible.

you missed Damaged my man ... For thriller/ horror percussion/ drums it’s a must have
Amazing. Haunted Strings from Insanity Samples is another good option.

just started watching this video and IMMEDIATELY had the same thought :-D
"Shooting white all over my face" 🤣
haunted spaces is exactly what I wanted

Nope, haven’t yet!
Great video. Super helpful. Many thanks.
Thanks for the kind words.
Check out Pripyat Pianos for weird, spooky, out-of-tune pianos.
Thank you! I really like Albion IV UIST.
Great video, definitely a huge improvement!
Thanks for the hookups, bruh
What about Melt of Cinematique Instruments, did you have the chance to play with it? Thanks for this nice episode.
I have not, but totally will now!
Thank you very much Geoff. I am prepearing to a horror film which is not my favorite genre. I lotst my way little bit. You put me back to the way :)
The camera setup is dope!!
Thanks Richard!
About to get this tomorrow!

Good call!
its great sound design
Hey Jeff, what’s your thoughts on Albion iceni? You think it’s worth it?
❤️
ngl the intro made me lol
Nice camera look! But the changing autofocus is a tiny bit annoying ;-)
All good stuff!

3:33 for actual video
Is that an AT2020 mic ? I have the same one
Great vid, speaking of suspense you should start your least favorite!
So how the heck would you notate this for musicians to play? I've always been curious about that
It goes something like this
Me: “first chairs, I need Long Woozy Vib Unmeasured starting from bar 12”
First chairs “what??”
Me: “get out”
8dio free radicals
video starts at 1:35
Lighting is fine as is. We don't need to see more details of your face. ;-)
Hahahaha. Best comment.
too much talking
Thanks for your comment!
