@@nathanvega2869 So? It's surely fine that he takes his deserved bite out of these videos, it's the fact that despite we've already bought his products/tabs and are usually expected to figure them out on a convention, he still makes these nice tutorials to baby-sit us on how to operate what we paid for.
@@nathanvega2869 And yet, he still provides a magnificent explanation about how he gets to the sounds he gets, which is more than most people do with products in the industry. don't be such a saltblock
I've been playing guitar for 18 years and I've gotten bored with it to the point where I stopped playing for 2 years BUT because of Polyphia I finally have an eager to play my guitar obsessively again 😁 thank you guys for your hard work and originality 🙏 You guys are truly inspiring!
Pretty much exactly the same as you! I've played for 18 years too and 2 years ago found Polyphia. Progressed more in those 2 years than the 10 years before it.
Been playing for barely more than a decade on and off, but since polyphia I got so hyped I bought a new guitar and a scarlett 2i2, specifically because of these videos which made me want to start recording and having fun with what I play
Tim's one of those dudes that you just kinda laugh to yourself when you watch them play because they're a once-in-a-generation talent. I love that he seems genuinely excited to hear what people make based on his stuff too, which just shows how humble he is
@MAIN Yeah I'm gonna say not a million but a lot in this top tier, but it's not technique that separates polyphia from the thousands with the technical ability - it's the songs xx
@@JesseOrion the world is a big place. You never know how many awesome guitarists are at Tim's level, perhaps they may not have internet access or just don't want to be publicized in any way. They don't have to be well know to be good, ya know 😌
@@GregKhar-NU-Metalhead2000 you are projecting lol. I never said or meant to say that. But if you wanna get technical, yes, actually metal bands don’t make near enough money. Shitty venue promoters and venues don’t pay well. Bands have to get by on merch alone some times. And it’s still not enough. I’m in a band too called Paleos so I am educated on this topic. Even bands that are professional don’t make what they need to be making.
A lot of artists don't show their process because it will become obvious how easy and simple their process is, and they want to seem like a virtuoso. Tim is so fucking good he doesn't care if it's basic, or what anybody thinks, he just loves sharing music and sharing his talent with everyone. That's a TRUE artist, the art comes first.

Also, he is not a single-idea guy, so he doesn't care if people will "steal" his ideas. He >will< come up with other stuff, so why bother?
@@HarshvardhanKanthode love Charlie as well. I’ve learned so much by watching his tutorials as well. It’s kinda cool that he goes in on how exactly he made certain songs.
That's a good way to put it. He is extremely demonstrative, I think it's because he knows he was born on a higher level of intelligence than the average everyday layman. He seems quite detached. So being demonstrative probably helps him with being more personable with people. I struggle with the same thing.
Some people were saying that this Multivoicer wasn't enough for playing the Rich Kids intro, but I think they thought it was just a plug & play and they missed this first important step of recording the chords first. Thank you, Tim! I will try it out! :D
The rich kids midi chords have 8 notes when the octaves come in. That’s more voices than the Tim Henson archetype can do. I’m not sure if you could run 2 archetypes in an effect chain or something but Nectar has 8 voices. That’s what Tim used in the original Rich Kids recording.
It would murder the CPU, but I don't see why you couldn't route your guitar into 2 separate audio tracks with an instance of archetype on each, have 2 midi tracks with 4 voices each, one routed to each multivoicer. Maybe in the second instance turn the original guitar voice to 0 so that you're not doubling up on those notes.
Guys super chill and humble considering he’s become a pretty big artist but in a slow steady pace. It’s nice to see the non ego, and his ability to teach is great as well. Much respect to him.
Lofi chord progs are often done with jazz harmony; I'm guessing tim has a bit of a background with jazz harmony judging by his playing/composition style.
When that channel/genre came into being it was both awesome and incredibly aggravating. Awesome because it was nice to hear jazz harmony in something I knew would become mainstream. Annoyed because I knew it meant jazz harmony would be culturally linked to mainstream beats to study to when that influence has been strong in alternative rock/prog for decades haha.
@@roblosh8417 Yup, I do think lofi beats are just the beginning of a jazz renaissance tbh. Many jazz musicians like Jacob Collier, Cory Henry, etc. are now breaking into more mainstream audiences. Not to mention, I've been hearing a lot of jazz harmony in some trap/edm music. Even some mainstream jazz fusion songs like "Leave the Door Open" have topped the charts. With this, I believe this more advanced harmonic language is something we naturally just search for, and will always eventually receive.
Love a 4 minute video where the computer clock starts at 5:30pm and the end result is after 9pm. Just shows the dedication and time this took to set up.
I like that you take music creation seriously, no goofy fucking persona or trying to be funny, you are just dead serious about making your shit the best it can be.
You’re such an inspiration Tim to the music community and me personally. It’s nice to have artist out there that makes unique music that still reaches people and that it’s made by someone who genuinely just wants to share their craft and that’s evident in videos like this one many others. Truly an authentic and talented individual
Tbh, having each note on grid doesn't sound too good as it won't have the same amount of "feel." Most of Tim's feel comes from those very slight imperfections in his playing while playing really well on time.
@@loopyzreal I generally agree with your sentiment… but with this kind of guitar playing… it’s quite imperative that the guitar is lock-on perfect (otherwise… it’s not as tight).
@@leaveitorsinkit242 yeah I'm with you. There's a difference between playing with feel and playing sloppy but with Tim's style being perfectly locked in is the sound he's going for
Thank you from one Dallas Tim to another, I am 61 been playing guitar for 50 years and you are teaching this old dog some new tricks. Love y’all’s music! Keep changing the game young man!
Okay - Definitely going to be playing around with this! Tim - we definitely need some more presets you create! I'd love to see what wacky stuff you could do with the delay effect in the plug-in!
Thanks Tim. I frequently experiment with Shimmer delays and reverbs with an EHX HOG2, to do textural ambient stuff in this realm on bass. This style is among my favorite textures from you or any one for that matter.
Before I went to his Chicago serenade, the Polyphia page had under a million views , and it shot up quickly after. This is showing signs of not stopping. It hits those brainwaves like BOOYA!
This is so sick thanks for sharing your ideas with the world man! Your awesome! Looking forward to playing with this idea, I've been curious about using midi and guitar this will be a great tool for everyone
Absolutely badass dude. love the fact you have such a distinctive sound, and not just share the how to, but " here you go, I made it easy for you guys too". Truly one of the greatest musical inovators, I'm aware of, in past few decades
Just picked this up the other week and I am really liking the sounds you can make with it.....I have been starting to play with the harmonizer.....I totally see the potential!!!!;Thanks for putting this demo video!!! I really like your playing...and your dog is adorable!! 😎
- Follows tutorial - - Realises I'm not Tim Henson & will never get the same sound - - sad - - Listens to Tim's music again - - Happy - why you gotta play with my emotions this way??
I play classical so honestly only just found you - i can't believe i've missed till now. Thank you so much for everything on your site 🎸🎶 and your little dog is adorable 😉
This is so sick. I’ve been trying to figure out the best way to do exactly this, never thought i’d find it in an amp sim plugin. Killer tones… and the pitch shifter is choice. Doesn’t sound brittle or too unstable.
I leave the standalone plugin running 24/7 with my guitar sitting by my desk just pick up and riff with my headphones on - thanks for this little tutorial on your multivoicer dude!
yes i think i can. that "midi audio 2" track is basically the first track, but in midi notes, his software can appearantly keytrack audio signals and automate a midi output you'd otherwise have to do yourself. (like mentioned with the piano) but how you get the track is neither here nor there for explaining its function. its function is the following: the midi track is used as a modulation signal for the vocoder, tells the vocoder what frequencies to harmonize at the 2nd guitar recording he punches in, is the carrier signal that goes into the vocoder. usually a vocoder modulation signal needs to be a pretty harsh, dry oscillator that's devoid of timbre and note stops to really work well as an opening gate for frequencies when you feed it, so using the guitar track itself for the modulation usually yields poor results. you want the notes, but not really much of the characteristics of it basically, that's why he's stretching out the notes on the editing, to make sure the vocoder gates open up nicely on the desired frequencies without of intricate phrasing, just open sustained chords with major chord changes in there and he uses the midi option in the plugin, which means he uses the notes on that midi track to send them off to a built-in oscillator inside the vocoder plugin to be used as a modulation signal instead of an external audio signal, for all intents and purposes it's the same as setting up a simple oscillator and feeding that as audio modulation signal. on the sped up editing part you see he uses a softsynth to edit the notes on the piano roll, gotta be able to hear it there to make sure they are alright. but after he's done, he sends the notes to the vocoder, so the softsynth should no longer be audible and taken off, and it's merely a modulation signal for the vocoder from that point onward. so yes, and no , depends on what you mean yes it does affect the final tone, since it controls the vocoder that ultimately gives you the result. but the midi track is not supposed to produce any sound on itself after you route it away, it controls how whatever you put on the carrier input of the vocoder comes out. if nothing comes in on the carrier, nothing comes out, even if the modulation track plays
@@dutchdykefinger Could you elaborate a bit further? Explain like to neandthertal? xd I don't understand what your response means. I get that without this midi track the multivoicer wouldn't work but I still don't get why.
