Make Your Own Reverbs and Crazy FX | Tutorial - Au5 

very very rare to see a good teacher who is equally as good of an actual musician. this dude really has it all.

Doesnt even take me 2 seconds to see this notification and click it too. Cant get enough of you man

I have been trying to use custom impulses with fruity convolver lately but had trouble finding ones that sounded good. This tutorial is very inspiring thank you Au5 you're a legend.

Oh snap this is a powerful technique. I'm not even halfway done the tutorial and it's already helping me rethink my current M.O. right now I try and use Mr. Bill's fractal effects for my reverb and delays, now I can stack delays and record the response and then repeat it. Cant wait to finish watching this so I can try this out

0:20 yes, yes, i know some of these words

I love the video Au5 not even a third of the way in and there's so much to chew on. you know your craft

I fell in love with the M4L convolution tool and even went around and gathered some of my own impulse samples in various auditoriums and such that I liked. Quite a powerful device!

For all you nerds out there who are following the narrative with dis boy, you can take it one step further: Convolution Reverb comes with a companion device called 'Measurement Device' which can generate an IR for use in the convolution. So if, say, you had a particular SerumFX chain that, say, was a delay-based effect (he's talking about Static Chorus), you could generate an IR for that effect. Another tip: you can make it respond non-linearly with frequency using the sweep function.

Bass music industry must hate this guy for revealing so much knowledge

can we take a minute to appreciate that slick intro?

If I start making music one day, your tutorials will be the first I go to!

I think im never just using a reverb plugin again, thank you so much for making these vids ❤️

0 dislikes, THAT'S how good this guy's content is

YES! Finally someone else who uses this technique AND teaches it in an amazing manner! I had an idea on how this technique could be possible due to the nature of convolution reverb, but I sorta kinda did not go in a specific direction with my reverb, just messing around to try to find direction and struggling to find patterns. This tutorial not only made me feel more confident that there are merits to using convolution reverb, but also that there were things I was doing on accident that I needed to take further during my experimentation due to how much potential there is with it! Big fan of your tutorials Au5 ;)

The intro visuals are so good

im so happy to be this early. doing homework but this is more important!

I think Germany is for trance and techno, as England if for DNB, France for House, Russia for Neurofunk and USA is for dubstep. Real electronic music played all over the world. This guy is part of the good producers around the world

I find it so awesome when music producers share their techniques/ideas with their fans. Like, you don't have to do this, yet you do. I can't think of any other word besides awesome. You're an awesome guy.

Fun taking white noise and then throwing different filters (think modulated resonant combs) on it, automating those filters (separate mono channel per ear) and then bouncing that out as an IR

Thanks for making this! Huge fan.

Man you always make such wholesome tutorials, thank you and look forward to more!

Absolutely amazing of you to make tutorials like this! I really appreciate it!

I really like how well you explain the inner workings of effects that many of us take for granted, and manage to recreate them in instructive ways!

Love this - never thought of creating custom impulses before!

Finally a video by Au5. Good tutorial. 👍

Best tutorial I have ever seen!!!!!

dude, actually loved just listening to this while working on stuff, so chill and actually taught me something in the process too. Fricken love you man

You are a sea of knowledge. Thank you for all the experimenting and the imparting of the same.

I'm 5 seconds in and I'm already loving it...that new intro is DOPE

You genius, we just talked about reverbs like a day ago in your server with you😂

Dude you're freaking genious !! Amazing technique

What a great tutorial, I am using the Convolution Reverb since months, but I never knew that I could simply load in my own files. Thank you Austin!

I love these tutorials thank you so much.

really cool vid man! i've been using convolution reverbs for years but never considered actually sound designing my own impulse. this is gonna be fun :D

A new Au5 tutorial? Yes please :)

Awesome !! Best sound design guy on RU-vid !!

Austin u always being giving unique inspiring technique I've never known before

I’m still trying to pick my jaw up off the floor. Ridiculously amazing!!!

that "woh" moment at 11:08 ! I love watching Au5 experiment!

This is insane. I need to try this out for myself. Making basses will be so much more intense with this method..!

Au5 always blows my mind with his techniques. Never disappoints. He's like a Jedi Master of Ableton! Thanks for the knowledge Master Au5.

What a fantastic video. I def underutilize convolution reverb, that I know now!

This is amazing 🙌🏽🙌🏽

Really useful video! Great content!

Good guy AU5 using the accessable plugins.

holy shit your knowledge knows no bounds this is incredible.

all your vids are quality man

It's so so fun watching you mess with stuff and enjoying the results, it inspires me so much to go and just try things out by myself, personally, I think this is an underrated plugin and since in the mix tutorial about how to use them I was making more practical uses of that, and he explained me the fundamentals of it, and it was such a great tutorial, and it just prepared me to come here to the "advanced tutorial" on how to get crazy with all the sorts of things you can do with impulses, you really showed how much creativity you have, no wonder your tracks sound so unique and different from one another. I've been waiting for your tutorials! because they really help out, I'm still using the static chorus effect, the cool hypergrowl with my twist which really spiced my dubstep track and definitely the tutorial on how to design your own drums, this one was totally my motivation to go on and design my own sample pack that I am using to this day in my tracks :D Anyways, really want to see you make more tutorials like that, we're enjoying seeing you enjoying playing with buttons, so we all win ;)

Genious Au5!

Great Video man!

Super intresting video. You can explain really well. Love what you do🔥✌

awesome experiment !!

This is brilliant. I hope one day we'll get to emulate dynamics and stuff just like we do with spectrum and time data. This would be revolutionary in the sound design field.

Au5 always out here with the groundbreaking tutorials how does he do it 🤔

You are truly a king

Very informative, thanks for sharing!

I knew about convolution already, and have in fact recently been experimenting with Drone/Ambient impulses from freesound - convolution is invaluable in sound design (even outside of reverb), especially when coupled with other practical effects, such as algorithmic reverb, etc. Good stuff as always!

Extremely cool stuff from Au5 as always

Loving this intro!

Your tutorials belong to the best on music production 👌

I love how you can see him make the “not bad” face with the watery drum reverb

Good stuff! Makes sense to use white noise with the fast high rolloff because it imitates actual impulse responses quite well 🙂

really amazing teacher

You inspiring me. Thank You.

Someone knows how to make a top notch tutorial. This guy is a genius!!

Aww yissss... Haven't even watched this thing and I can tell it's gonna be good!

Super cool tutorial! I like to reverse the convolution process to make morphing granular soundbeds. Load the melody or what have you as an impulse and use an actual impulse as the dry signal.

This looks fun to do, gonna try this out!

You magnificient magician you! I gotta get my finances in check a little more but I'm definitely gonna take that course someday. Hopefully by the end of this year. Cause sound design and mixing is where my greatest weaknesses are right now. Thanks for thiese interesting tips. It' fascinating how you have really the basics of all this stuff down. Such an incredibly inventive and curious approach you have to this stuff.

I was so confused about what Space Designer actually did. Thanks for explaining it, I'm excited to practice this.

Damn, I overlooked convolution reverb all this time, but this is fantastic. Thanks for demonstrating its uses. So bloody cool. It will, of course, require some experimentation though. Will be worth it in the end, though.

You just earned a sub, very well done

Your Growl Tutorial Was The Best Video

Thanks Austin !

You know quite a lot sir. wow!

Nice tricks, as always

can't wait to see you out here in Madison! hoping to meet ya

now i know how to use a convolver in many cool ways, thanks! :D

I love the convology XT, espesially using the reverse on lush pads etc when that low end comes up (tough on your cpu). I rarely use the ableton convoluted reverb as u demonstrated perfectly when ableton crashed :) thx for the great tutorial :)

You can turn pretty much anything into a pad by convolving it with white noise that has a volume envelope with a slow attack and slow release. Great content as always my dude.

You sir are a genius.

owo what’s this? A new Au5 tutorial??

This is amazing

I love your videos

One thing I like doing is sampling a rhythmic pattern into a convolver and adding it to just about anything. Gives it a cool non-linear vibe

Just what i was looking 4

man your technical knowledge is just fucking insane!! thank you for sharing it with us!!

Great video. One thing I'd like to point out is that Wider uses a combination of allpass and comb filters to process the signal. Your recreation sounded great, but you can definitely hear a complete reflection in it, where with Wider you can only notice some phasing effects if you're paying attention.

6 seconds in and I'm impressed by the production level of that intro.. or maybe i'm just a fanboy who knows

Really great video, like usually! You should beta test Msf and Vital. A lot of crazy possibilities.

dope man, thanks!! BTW, when you gonna drop some Neuro DnB? Or some of those new school roller type tunes? I think you'd kill it for sure. Just food for thought man, love your tunes.

Oh man! Thanks for that really awesome tutorial :)) Will you make another one, for drums like there? They sounds very powerful, but organic and realistic))

Look att you, doing all this cool shit, sharing it with us so we can do cool shit. Legend!

I have a handpan (fantastic instrument, if you don't know it, you should definitely check it out) and thanks to you I had the idea the use the handpan with the Convolution Reverb as resonator of other instruments. So I loaded samples of each tones of the handpan in a Convolution Reverb. Then I grouped them parallel in an Audio Effect Rack and let every Convolution respond to the corresponding frequencies of the incoming sound. So I now have the sound of my handpan, resonating with the audio signal. It sounds really nice on a some double bass and Xylophone sounds. It's giving the sounds this really nice spherical touch, that I love so much about the handpan. Especially the Xylophone has this nice tonal resonating reverb, it also really sounds great with Saw Lead Synths and sparkly pluck sounds. It also gives drums some tonal harmonic reverb. I am really grateful for this nice tutorial, I never thought, something like this was possible. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, Austin (I really should join your sound design masterclass). Love from Germany!❤

That intro 😩😫

my master

u are my idol

the short stereo response trick around minute 20 is where i went from "yeah this could be p cool" to "wow this is extremely practical" i will probably be doing this a lot now

Very cool! now i know why I don't like that plugin 'wider'

Sick bro. I literally was watching your hypegrowl video last night again and applying it cuz my growls never sound growly. Something with the serum stock wavetables not cutting it because I follow all the steps.
