I have Udio sample like ai vocal and synth. It’s flat like radio needs drum and bass. Used scaler 2 trial for both to midi to tyrell6 bass. Not bad but wish would line up no instrument search more easy with free plugins. Is captain easier to read the sample notes chords? Suggest bass, drum? I want to match electro pop with same instrument so not Steve slate drums by Tyrell. How about instacomposer 2? I need the ai sample to tell me which chords bass and drums works to make it thick. Not radio flat. Help?
Hello @DJ-Clify From what recall, I don't believe Captain Plugins can detect chords from audio...nor can InstaComposer 2. And none of the plugins will tell you which chords, bass, and drums will work to make your sample sound thick. My suggestion would be to figure out what the key is and chords used in the sample by using Scaler 2 audio detect, then layer samples in that key to thicken the sound. Just be careful to avoid layering too many sounds that are in the same frequency. Otherwise, you will take energy away from your track and muddy up the mix.
Hello my good friend. I am new to your channel and just subscribed. I'm a Pro Producer and have had Scaler 2 for quite some time now - but had some difficulty with some features of the plugin - so I enjoy your videos. You are a joy to watch and I like your in depth overview of your techniques as they can be applied by others that use the product. Thank you and I look forward to your other videos. You are DEFINITELY GOOD for the culture (music). I truly appreciate you - my brother.
@michaelkelly9676 I appreciate you too! Thank you for subscribing and for the super kind words.❤️✨ Happy that my content is helping, which is the main part of my mission. What are some of the challenges you experience when using Scaler 2? I'll try to either answer them here or sprinkle the solutions into future videos.
Hey hey @DJ-Clify, if you are asking how long it took to make this song, then I am not entirely sure. Each song is different and it does take me a bit to conceptualize & film what parts I am going to share of the creation process. Let me know if you were meaning something else.🤩
Just put sample in audio channel and warp it nicely and reduce speed in half, so if your project is on 140 bpm put it on 70, make sure you set audio to complex and then transfer melody to midi...The most accurate way so far to do it!
Scaler 2 is a game changer for sure. You can even use Scaler 2 to control all your midi instruments and set scaler to play the chords in all sorts of different ways. You can even tell Scaler to play the bass notes only vs having to edit the midi data. I highly recommend Scaler 2 to anyone trying to make music.
@@iamherotv btw that track in your video was really awesome man! Keep up the great work! 100% agree - first thing I start with for new song is always scaler 2. Good combo I've discovered is starting with Scaler 2 to build your chord progressions and then feed that midi data into InstaComposer 2 as a quick way to generate different melodies using those same chords.
Hi @infusivemusic - Great question!💯✨For the special UI menu to open plugins, I used a third-party open-source app called "Live Enhancement Suite (LES)" (enhancementsuite.me/). A couple things to know before going down the LES menu path. 1) The LES menu layout has to be configured manually. Which after you get the hang of editing the text file, it is actually not bad at all. 2) Because LES is a thrid-party open source app, I am worried that one day folks will stop developing LES and/or Ableton makes a change Live that causes LES to stop working. So far LES is working in Ableton Live 12 and below. It is a gamble that my hard work configuring LES menu will one day be unusable. However, the LES workflow works so much better for me than Ableton's menu that I am willing to roll the dice!...hahaa. 🎲🎲
@sergejfilippov1968 Thanks for watching.❤️ Captain/Captain Epic and Orb Plugins are both awesome music theory plugins. I own all 3 plugins and tend to gravitate to Scaler 2 the most. With Scaler 2, I get quick results with very little fiddling with the plugin and it fits well in my workflow. I also love💕 that Scaler 2 has a whole community forum ( forum.scalerplugin.com/ ) where folks are super happy to help each other. But in the end, it all comes down to what works for you and your workflow.
Thank you for the video, I usually try Studio One's chord feature, it can sometimes work also, but this looks like a great method also, thanks for the valuable tutorial, really enjoyed it.
Thanks for watching and thank you for the Studio One chord feature tip. 🙏🏾✨💯 I haven’t tried Studio One, but I have seen some cool stuff from that DAW.
Hi @dcgang3457 - Thank you for sharing. 🤩✨Melodyne detects chords awesomely well, and I use it sometimes. What has me reaching for Scaler 2 more often, is that Melodyne has a steeper learning curve and doesn't tend to fit my workflow.
@RedCloudServices I'm super excited for Scaler EQ! 💯✨Regarding using Loopcloud samples for commercial use, according to my understanding of Loopmasters/Loopcloud's License policy (found here www.loopcloud.com/cloud/terms_of_service ), as long as you are using the sample/s within your music composition along with other sounds (and not repackaging Loopcloud samples individually for re-release/sale in your own soundpacks), you can totally use Loopcloud samples for commercial use. Happy to discuss further if you are having a different understanding of Loopmasters licensing policy. Either way, thanks for watching and for your comments.❤️
@@iamherotv oh that’s good to know I have been following a few youtubers re Sync Libraries and clearing samples is a big issue for original songwriters submitting tracks.
@RedCloudServices My curiosity would lean towards the source of the sample/s used that they are trying to get cleared and the licensing agreement of the source.
@@iamherotv agree and what is not clear (regardless of royalty free licenses like Splice or Loopcloud) do they still require clearance when used by Sync Libraries?
Never even heard of Samplab before. However, I just looked Samplab up and it looks awesome!!! 🔥 Samplab could be a super good tool to add to my creative workflow. Thank you for sharing the knowledge.🙏🏾✨💯
Interesting…Scaler 2 has been an amazing tool for me.💯✨What aspects don’t you like about Scaler 2 and what music theory plugin/s do you use as an alternative?
It's not useless, however I stopped using it after finding out that Cubase 12 has ALL these plugins built in their daw. There's no need for multiple plugins anymore like scaler cause I can detect the key and scale of the sample. No need for serato cause Cubase matches the bpm. No need for shaper box to modulate since I get that with Cubase. No need for sonar works too since Cubase comes with headphone match. But all these plugins can be useful depending on how you use them. It wouldn't hurt to learn music theory though.
Scaler is what it is and what benefits you gain from working with it. Obviously if it doesn’t suit the way you work then it’s of no use for you, but a pile of shit it definitely isn’t.
