ANOTHER SECRET TIP: hold CTRL and ALT, click on any parameter and the writing will turn red; that parameter will now stay locked when you change presets.
Try the decapitator T circuit with punish on at a low wet setting/in parallel for extra high end fizz on snares and claps. Best use I've found for it so far.
The SoundToys collection was the best investment I ever did. I use at least 4 SoundToys units in each project I do. Of course your taste may vary, but for me the slight lofi feel, and the fact that there's a possibility to saturate your signal on almost any SoundToy unit, is a plus for me. Oh, and the Effect Rack is awesome! But I've them for years, and they still surprise me.
@@jacobbattenberg1482 first you put alterboy lets say on a vocal track. set mode to "robot". then you create an instrument track where you can write midi notes. then route the output of the midi channel to alterboy instead to the output of the instrument and you are done
Damn man the echo boy style trick has been amazing on piano and guitars. It’s become my go to first plug-in for that. Just had to come back and say I appreciate it!
Yeah these are some useful tips! The echoboy circuitry one got me ! Also, little (and big) primal tap with 0ms + 0% in and out is quite good for high end roll off and tone. 0ms + high in and out is a very pleasant distortion and it almost get flanges when you push the feedback too! I’ve started using it over devil loc for distortion !
Sound Toys Plug ins are made by the people who made the Eventide H3000 unit. Which is a legendary hardware unit used on almost every hit song in the 80’s and 90’s.
IIRC, the Soundtoys Microshift plugin recreates some of the most famous pitchshifting presets from the Eventide and the AMS DMX. I have no idea how accurate they are as I'm not Phil Collins in 1983.
Hey Noizw London, thanks so much for the revealing the 1st secret. Had no idea this ability existed. This is such an awesome thing to learn I don't care that admitting I didn't know this after using Sound Toys for over a decade. Again Cheers
I use the Neve setting on the decapitator while adjusting the tone button in the direction of bright. It is so helpful to me when I have something too bright or too exciting and need to make it thin and "boring"
It's so crazy I just tried to do the exact thing with Echoboy JR earlier and couldn't figure out how to get it right, and then I watch this video and you cleared it up for me. LEGEND!!!!
Alright, I just test the A and E parameters and IT'S MASSIVE ! It give to the sound what I was looking for since 30 mins to my track ! Thank you so much ! ( I hit the subscribe button 👍 )
I appreciated these tips, as there is a lot more to these plugins than initially greets the eye. Soundtoys is a great name for the company. You can play with the settings and copious presets all day. There's so much to explore.
Oh man, these are very useful tips especially to me because I do post-production and the example sounds great with voice-overs. I own the entire soundtoys collection and I didn’t know anything about this! The secret is out, keep it coming! 😎
You check out the tweak button and the style edit button on the Echoboy as well. Both of those reveal drop down menus with a whole bunch more parameters to customize the sound, i.e. stereo width, eq, diffusion (which acts similarly to verb) and more saturation as well
Thanky ou for the help I got soundtoys bundle on the black friday sale, i absolutely love them and this has expanded my creative possibility even further
Nice vid!...you just save me a couple of grands dying for an H3000 ( hardware )...but that Echoboy is so close that i'm celebrating with Champagne this savings!!!...Cheers!
T and P do wonders for low end harmonics in my opinion. I love much they round off and add harmonics in that range and whenever I want a bass to have more character, they’re my go to. Almost always though, A suffices. The Neve circuit I love on top end sheen for vox.
Great tips! Thank you 🙏 We actually use Sie Q on our mastering chain, just even passing the signal through it imparts some very tasty analog mojo/harmonic saturation even with no knobs turned.
