Scaler is the best plugin I have ever bought. Its so useful at any stage in production. My advice is to just go buy it if you have the money now or if not wait for a sale. It is 100% worth every penny.
Yeah I got it a few ,oaths ago and use it all the time. Need more videos like this, suppose I should do the course I got with it. I think it needs an update though because the GUI can be extremely slow and unresponsive on my m1Pro. Also it needs better timing adjustment for chord length
One of the first VST's I bought, as a newbie I saw it and said, oh yeh, this is what you need, and all the iterations and improvements along the way, this Scaler 2 is epic!
I've been thinking about using Scaler to create some jazz backing tracks I can later use with my wind controller and Audio Modeling's SWAM Trumpet, Tenor Sax, etc, but after watching this, I realize that a better approach might be to play, say, a trumpet solo FIRST, then use your method to let Scaler determine the harmonization of my melody, i.e, suggesting the best chords to use, etc.
This is THE most useful and concise tutorial for Scaler 2 I've seen. Scaler 2 is a very very powerful plug-in that I've had for a while, but have yet to fully wrap my head around as far as where it fits in my specific work flow. I typically start with a sample, come up with my own bass line, then try to work out the key and the chords, This tip is a godsend for my use case. Thank you so much.
This video only scratches the surface of what Scaler 2 can do! Between not having Scaler 2 and Captain Chords/Melody EPIC I think my production flow would be infantile.
Used this last night for the first time. Still trying to wrap my mind around using it properly but this video definitely helps. I'll try it again today. Solid video
Fantastic and a great demo of some of the things that make Scaler great. I also love to use the voicing menu and they are 'contoured' chords made by artists. Nice tune!
PB and Scaler tricks just keep getting better man, thanks for your service Joshua - and im about to buy the new stereo savage, ive got so many guitar singing jams that are flat as a bad note so happy days - it's been a great journey with you guys, I think I love you all - the coders are the balls . . .
Scaler 2 needs a metronome for STANDALONE functionality. As it currently stands, there is no way for Scaler 2 to play a consistent chord sequence OUTSIDE of a DAW. Even within a vst wrapper - Scaler chords will just play with random timings. This is because Scaler 2 has no INTERNAL tempo/metronome to adjust the BPM when used OUTSIDE of a DAW (this is a VERY important feature for songwriting/practice purposes). Please, add a volume adjustable metronome for STANDALONE use. Thanks! ❤
What if we want to record Scaler's chords straight into a midi track without having to drag and drop? For example, say I bind a set of chords to some keys, but when I hit record in my DAW, I want Scaler's version of those chords to appear in the piano roll as I press their respective keys. Is that possible?
So I clicked songs > edm1 > c min and it sounds good But when I go to main, I click c minor and it doesn’t sound the same. There’s extra keys in the edm c minor chord I clicked all the modulations but none of them match the one in the song. How do I find the same variation?
what do you mean "now when I hit the spacebar to adjust the transpose on my DAW"? I have a bunch of DAWs and I don't know which one transposes using the spacebar.
@@BadTrip69 3xosc Cant be midi routed. What you could do is to take out the notes from scaler and use them in the piano roll of 3xosc. So you would have to work first with the scaler built-in sounds. Other option way more straightforward would be swappin your 3xosc for some other pluggin and avoid all the hurdle.
Are you familiar with Scaler? You have full control over every aspect of each of the chords, so the definitely don't all need to be 11th chords. That was not what this tutorial is about. If you would like to know more, I would be happy to link some other video tutorials about those additional topics. - JC
"Felt Piano" is the worst preset to use in all of these Scaler videos for people who are trying to hear these examples who have tinnitus, ESPECIALLY in the lower register. It's really frustrating to watch these, when they sound so muddy
I guess at least the manufakturer could come up with a better example. Invest in your ears, not in shoddy produkt that draws «pro level chords» out of a hat.
