Since many people asked this question and I didn't mentioned it in the video I thought to write the answer here: yes, you can use active mixers but DON'T USE THE AMPLIFIED OUTPUTS to generate a feedback loop, because they will FRY your circuit. Use only the passive outputs.

@PatternFactoryOperat Год назад

and this work only on analog mixer ;)

@pauljs75 Год назад

@@PatternFactoryOperat Not necessarily. Depends on if you can defeat noise suppression and may need to seed the feedback loop with a noise input source. It happens to be self-starting on analog because of the noise floor properties.

@kvkn Год назад

@@PatternFactoryOperat you can do it on a computer with e.g. ableton live, an audio interface and mixing in some guitar effect pedals etc, routed in & out in a loop, and then performed with your imagination through a midi controller. Just be carefull with gain staging to protect your ears. Learn how your specific feedback system reacts. But yeah, some kind of analog/acoustic signal needs to be involved to make it feed.

@thomaswallace7580 Год назад

One of my favorite tricks for feedback loops is to put a stereo tremelo pedal at the end of a loop and split it to two different channels. Without turning on the pedal you can simply achieve a two channel loop from a single output which is cool, but when you turn it on you can get awesome rhythm! Unplug either channel with high depth in the tremolo to get hard chops. I use a behringer ultra tremelo pan for this method cheers to the freaks out there 🎉

Sounds awesome! Thanks for sharing this trick!

You can use a trig out from a drum machine, which is just a 5v pulse, in combination with this technique, to create more rhythmic pulses of feedback

@AndreijRublev Год назад

@silvertongues2 how would you do that?

@AndreijRublev Год назад

@@baileyallenbaker You can connect a sequencer (or a drum machine trig out, as suggested) that sends a cv signal to any audio input of a no input mixer since it is a rather small voltage (usally 5v) and it will interact with the feedback loop in intersting ways with no damage to the circuit.

@domek. Год назад

@Andreij Rublev I've managed to get some quite varied sounds by patching two mixers together in various ways. Recently I've been exploring no input with guitar pedals too (using a passive matrix mixer or stereo splitter to create feedback loops with them). There are some which give quite interesting results even on their own, such as the Boss MO-2.

@ackzz Год назад

I remember doing\discovering this by accident years ago with an old rackmount stereo equalizer. When I moved the EQ sliders it changed the sounds. I got some very interesting sound effects. It was feeding back on itself and playing through my home stereo. The EQ had inputs\outputs balanced and unbalanced connections. Yes, I hooked up something wrong but, that’s how I discovered you can make sounds with an EQ feedback. -Cheers!

@AndreijRublev Год назад

Lovely! Thank you for sharing your memories!

@KRAFTWERK2K6 Год назад

Yup. At the end of the day it is all nothing but voltages inside an audio circuit that are being altered. The basics of how a sound is created and shaped inside an analog synth :) Even without an actual raw-sound generating oscillator. A Feedback loop is a great idea. You can even use a ground-hum noise as a sorta source for a raw sound that you can shape. And turning an often unwanted humming buzz into a usable sound to shape and alter.

@AndreijRublev Год назад

Totally agree!❤

@stuartchapman5171 Год назад

I agree, I use feedback and pedals. Sometimes I'll use a cheap unfiltered non isolated power supply alongside high gain units like Metal Zone and Tube Screamers, you can really start to work that 50hz when you clip it hard.

@tdtrecordsmusic Год назад

YT recommended the magpie vid which led here ... COOL ur inspiring others to get into circuit bending !! I'd also like to add, it's not that far off to just use the opamps themselves. It may seem remarkable/unfathomable to use the components themselves, but what is happening here is just adding wires. You can take the cover off the mixer and add single wires or alligator clips & passives(resistor/cap/inductor)... that will make even MORE sounds and get you into learning electronics

It brings me back a few decades ago (and some burnt tracks on my mixing tables (since of course, I tried on my main and only mixer first, excited and young sound maker, thinking naively I discoverd an uncharted territory (well, at least by me^^). That may be why I had shown so much interest in the japanese experimental scene (Rioji Ikeda, Otomo Yoshihide, Sachiko M, who were in analog works) and the "experimental" soundscapes of the 90's Try the excellent Solliloquy for Lilith by the mysterious Nurse With Wounds, a true ghost piece, with ni sound input, only pedals, feedbacks resonating to create a creepy melody.

@AndreijRublev 7 месяцев назад

Yeah, the Onkyo scene is an amazing source of inspiration. Toshimaru Nakamura is also one that works basically only with no input mixers. But yeah feedback techniques are such a vast field that they were used in many different contexts, like for example in Dub music, in Turntablism, etc etc etc. Such a simple and yet inspirational process that crossed the genres and the years.

This is fascinating technique. At 1m 36s you say "it's very difficult to broke anything". If I had known this, I would have been doing it 40 years ago, Thank You!! It does make sense for an analogue circuit to behave this way. I don't think the results from a digital mixer would be as usable (digital distortion) and I don't want to risk one to find out.

@AndreijRublev Год назад

Yeah don't risk it if you don't feel it. Analog mixers are perfect for the goal!

@stuartchapman5171 Год назад

I do this with pedals and Matrix mixers, digital pedals, especially the cheap ones will clip in in an unusable way, like a high frequency radio static. It's possible but you need to carefully control the levels and place those pedals carefully in thd chain. Which limits the creativity you get from the spontaneous results.

Your Video for Simon the Magpie flashed me and inspired me to use this technique with my old back up dj-mixer, a reloop scratch pro dj-battlemixer... Now my question: Which output you prefer to grab the sound?! Make it any diffrent if i use the master-out, the booth-out or the headphone-out? Ask cause i use the headphone-output to grab the sound out of my reloop scratch pro dj-battlemixer i use for N.I.M.B. technique. ...i use the headphone-out cause it's on frontside and all other in's and out's are on the back. Greetz

@AndreijRublev Год назад

Thank you for the kind words! Yes, you can use whatever output you prefer. Usually the main one or the phones one are ok because you can easily control their volume, but of course it depends also on the patch and on the mixer's routing possibilities! There is no wrong or right, it's just a matter of finding your own way to use it!

@3-ZEE Год назад

Can it damage the mixer that he's allways in the redlight zone by using em that way? Heard in a video that some mixer's are killed by it quickly. That's why i don't try it with my good old yamaha mg10/6 (sometimes still need him). ...anyway, it's absolutly fun to play with N.I.M.B. technique.

@AndreijRublev Год назад

@@3-ZEE In my personal experience I've never damaged any mixer in years and years (and some of them have literally hundreds of continous hours of feedback on their back). But of course my suggestion is always to use partially broken mixers, cheap second hand ones, etc. Something you won't use for any other purpose.

@3-ZEE Год назад

Good to know ...but yes it makes sence to use cheap used or broken once. Have 2 other old dj-mixer's which crossfader's are no longer in good conditions and one of them have balance problems with the panning. This one should be interesting to use. It's a bit crazy, i run through the day and in my mind i hear me allways asking "what can you turn into a modular synth like instrument?". I mean it should work even with an HiFi Amplifer if you use the tape out. This technique is in my eyes as easy to start with, as it is freaky and nerdy (in the best way).

Using a mixer as a sound generator? I love it! I wanna try this with a mixer that has an EQ where you can sweep the frequencies. My first idea: With three channels or more (and corresponding number of outputs) you could make a chord.

@AndreijRublev Год назад

It is definetely possible but in some mixers there is also some cross talking between channels, so they influence each other and it's impossibile to have 3 indipendent sounds. In a large mixer with more routing possibilities it is definetely easier.

@@AndreijRublev its great! something i came across while browsing was LiveSPICE , its free audio circuit building software, with fairly good emulation. only seems to work in reaper tho.

@irradix213 Год назад

nice, thank you, haven't done this, we had an amp head with EQ and distortion ran to the Shredmaster distortion pedal with a looping delay for time stretch on it's effect loop, would be kind of expensive now, 25yrs ago they were just broken lumps of house paint

Thanks for putting together this great tutorial! Question: Have you played around with these feedback loop techniques well, having regular audio feed into the chain? For example, a guitar feeds into the mixer but then you use these kinds of ideas to play with the audio

@AndreijRublev Год назад

You can totally do that, just connect your guitar to the mixer. Of course, as said in the video, don't connect the mixer directly to your amp (the speaker) but use something else in between: another mixer, an audio interface, etc. Something that you can use to control the maximum volume before going into your final speaker/headphones. You can use the feedbacks as a sort of extreme distortion, and the mixer a sort of effect for your guitar. Of course the interaction between the feedback and the guitar sound is unpredictable and you need to try it to find the timbre you are looking for.

Now you've got the gears turning. I wonder how we can influence the tones generated with radio frequencies.

@AndreijRublev Год назад

It's totally worth a try. I used some external inputs (not a radio but the principle is the same) into the feedback chain in the last video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-z7l4x_5z1dg.html

@VirtualModular Год назад

I used to do this in the 1990s, taking the aux outs from a 4-track into rackmount effects and back to a channel input instead of the aux return. I still have tapes of multitracked fx feedback! I was planning to sample it, but didn't even have a sampler. By the time I got the ability to start sampling stuff I'd decided it sounded horrible and never bothered 😅

Do you havve a video about cheap but good or only good effect pedals, specialy to combine with a N.I.M.B. or to use for No Input technique? Sorry for all my questions, but you are a pro and i'm a noobie in production or live-jamming.

@AndreijRublev Год назад

No worries! Always happy to answer! Yes, I have a video about pedals and no input here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-atQnddfG47c.html

This with a talkbox would be fire

@AndreijRublev Год назад

Unfortunately I don't have one but it would be a great experiment to do!

@J3ff_K1ng Год назад

@@AndreijRublev I think that it would be interesting if you use a technique of the talkbox that I didn't see really used and is open and close your mouth to change the pitch In that way not only you are giving resonance to the sound but now have a really reliable way to pitch shift with this technique And it would be the most obscure and specific technique ever used hahahaha
