Reverb Shaper - Replaced! (Patreon)
Content
Hey everyone, welcome back to my latest video. Here's a summary of what I discussed:
Replacing VST Plugins: I've been replacing various VST plugins, aiming to explore alternatives that might make some plugin companies less than thrilled. Despite this, I believe these companies don't really hate me, as their products often have unique features and presets that are advantageous.
Bitwig Studio vs. VST Plugins: I talked about how, despite the sleekness of certain VST plugins, most of their functionalities can be replicated in Bitwig Studio.
Demonstrating Reverb Shape Up: I explained a specific reverb technique, using a drawn line to represent the send effect to a convolution reverb. This affects the amount of audio sent and changes the reverb sound. The technique also includes adjusting volume, decay, size, dry/wet settings, and even band-splitting to remove low frequencies from the reverb.
Affordable Plugin Pricing: I mentioned a plugin that's relatively cheap, costing around 40 euros. It's often included with other effects in a bundle if you own the Shape Up box.
Advanced Bitwig Studio Techniques: I demonstrated advanced techniques in Bitwig Studio, like using convolution reverb on a drum loop and managing the mix to control how much audio is processed. I showed how to use a tool device to control audio input to the reverb and how to feed only specific sounds (like a snare) into the reverb.
Unique Effects with Delay Plus: I explored using the Delay Plus device to create unique effects without changing the pitch, like modulating delay time with a curve modulator.
Tips for Creating Melodies: I gave a tutorial on creating melodies with polymer, adding reverb, and using Delay Plus for special effects, including a half-time effect that pitches down the sound an octave.
Replicating Reverb Shaper in Bitwig Studio: I explained how to replicate the reverb shaper from Cable Guys in Bitwig Studio using a chain device, a tool device, and a convolution reverb.
Conclusion: I wrapped up by encouraging viewers to experiment with these techniques, mentioned a trial version available on a website, and reminded viewers to like and subscribe for more content.
