bro ur patreon has helped me more than literally ANYTHING. ur workflow is half midi/vsts and half sampled/resamped material. thats the exact way i flow. everyone always would say freeze EVERYTHING but i hate the idea of permanence even if some find it helpful. thanks so much for all you do for the community bruv

At around 1:20:00 where you start to wonder why the Pitchmap mapping is all over the place: it's because Pitchmap's input scale is ALWAYS C chromatic. You can't change it like in reTune. The Key Transform feature in Pitchmap takes this C chromatic scale and repitches it to whatever note and scale you set it to which makes it look way off. So you're not setting your input key and scale, you're setting the output. If anyone needs a more in depth explanation on why this is and how exactly it works, just read the part of the manual that talks about the Key Transform feature. I'd generally advise just choosing the scale and then going from C to whatever key you want, using the arrow keys above the Key Transform.

Awesome, the clipping technique you showed at the beginning of the video was super cool. I did want to ask, couldn't you just do the more of the clipping within the mixdown so you wouldn't have to push the master clipper as hard then not even have to worry about loss of detail? Or if you really wanted to push your master clipper that hard couldn't you just lower the volume of the sub down in the mix so that when you push the clipper the loss of detail would be greatly minimized If hardly any at all?

Hey Nasko, I just joined your Patreon after hearing the recent DnB track - I had to see that being created! I then came across this video and thought I'd share : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UT42-ur080&list=PLxik-POfUXY6i_fP0f4qXNwdMxh3PXxJx . I don't know if you know of Baphometrix and her CTZ strategy but there's some good info in there too in terms of clipping and making stuff loud etc - just thought I'd share considering I think you're sharing online in terms of production is truly unreal - so huge thanks for all you do!

Okay. That detail preservation on the soft clips literally made my jaw drop. This is so next level and actually makes a lot of sense - especially how well you broke it down. Very excited to explore this
