You really should be using a fruity balance in technique 1. Automating the mixer knob itself is bad 1)from a post mixing perspective but more importantly 2) those knobs are on an eponential curve and not linear. Better to just toss a fl balance at the end and automating that - then you use the actual knob to mix the total volume to taste.
Agreed, as soon as I saw this I put my head in my hands. Never, ever use a mixer fader like this. Arcade should know better, this is basic stuff and equally as disappointing he hasn’t commented or apologised on here by reply except a love heart emoji WTF.
If you don't want to route the vocal to another track just simply put any balance or volume control in vocal effect tracks and use that balance knob to link to the controller. You can add any effect before and after the balance effect.
Gated effects go back several decades, but a notable one was on the Jam & Spoon remix of 'The Age of Love' in 1992; a track that basically defined trance music. For much of the '90s, producers called the stuttering sound the 'Age of Love effect', but then it simply became a 'trancegate'. Back in the day you needed complicated outboard hardware (a noisegate) and cables to do it, but now there are a thousand ways to achieve it with plugins or within your DAW.
Akai's Flexbeat will handle most midi chop or fx that you need. I think you can also apply it to an audio track and achieve similar results. Took me a while to realize how useful Flexbeat is. I mean, most of these types of plugins fx can be replicated by just using your DAW's stock tools but the app makes it easy for you to explore the possibilities.
This works a treat if you use Shaperbox 3 or a similar ducker device. MIDI trigger it - you can customise the stutter/gate effect to cut in a very precise way
I love the Cableguys' stuff as the interfaces are quite intuitive and nice to look at, but it's kind of funny that some of the effects they provide (that have also been copied by other developers) were possible with FL Studio's freebie plugins about 20 years ago. The Fruity Peak Controller and LFO tool are really old, but they are as powerful as ever if you know what you're doing.
@@AutPen38also all these fx are straight up easy to make with basic automation most of the time 😂 but yea the Cableguys devices GUI make it quick and fun
Another interesting thing I like to do is, find two drumloops that work well together and let only 1 of them sound, and let the other one control a pad or even a filtered loop with peak controller.
Hey man, your kick and bass always sound amazing on a small speaker, is it just good sound selection or do you have a specific way of processing them or layering them..?? Thanks.
I guess for the bass I use one layer for sub bass and one layer for more "high frequency" bass like a fuzz bass or something, that coukd be the reason. For the kicks I just use my pack STPL Sounds which has a lot of punchy kicks😁
Have to mention that if you send to reverb post fader, that channel will be affected by noise envelope too. For pre fader sends in FL, fruity send has to be used
Yaaawwwwnnnn... Wiinds me up with modern artists taking the credit for these fx. Weve been doing it since the 90s in ttance and rave using hardware compressor gates side chaining a sampler via a the high hat and kick channels of 909s and 808s.. its just got easier with the use of software plugins, but its nothing new 🤦
I really dont like fiddling with grossbeat envelopes especially when trying to make different rhythms.. that being said if you look at the second part of the video where I show different uses, those cannot be done with grossbeat 👌
This video is just clickbait. Waste of time...SHEESH! The stutter is not only a pretty common and standard effect, it's been popular for years. Why claim it's "the most popular in 2023"? The only reason you'd say that and then go on to explain it like it's rocket science is to get clicks. But very well made video. I'll give you that, Arcade...😆
