-CORRECTION- at 10:46 I thought I was modulating the amount of distortion on the second distortion's amount. I wasn't! You need to have already set a value on a parameter, and that sets the mod depth range. I was just hearing the amount on distortion 1 moving and got confused. So make sure you set the parameter to your desired position, then modulate it :)!
You could achieve something in the ballpark with multi band splitting (or mid/side etc...) and then distorting each band differently with Ableton's other devices. Then the other aspects could be emulated externally, filtering, delay with feedback etc... Would just be a bunch of seperate devices and modulators, but going custom and saving as a rack could be more fun/personal anyways :)
Wow thanks dude! Kinda just put that question into the ether and at best hoped for a fellow subscriber to give a suggestion, not the man himself! But seriously, that was super useful man so thank you.. And it's kiiind of reassuring as ive been trying kiiinda similar stuff (ie splitting into bands and processing them separately/differently. You are the self doubting, confidence building producer's dream dude/channel man... Been producing on and off since college (im 35 now..) and not being able to create the music i wanted to the quality I wanted really affect my life (as music has always been a big part - playing in bands etc) So yeah... Like I mightbhave said previously - I have NEVER commented on anything on youtube... but you've changed my music (and by extension - life)... so just wanted you to know that fact in the least corny way I could man! Hope your world is treating you well well dude. Insane levels of thanks again man! PLEASE keep doing what you're doing!! Big love - Joon @KermodeMusic
Does it have wavetable distortion? I went through it recently and couldnt find an option for that. I guess a workaround would be to lfo on the wave types?
It's not too bad! It's better than EQ 3, and better then the splitting on the multi-band dynamics from my experiments. For example on a bass patch with sub in it the gain added from the phase changes was about 0.4db. So it's still not perfect, and there's no linear phase option, but it's preeeetty good! Although I mention it could be used for mastering in the video you would certainly want to take the phase and crossover points into consideration
