In this third (and final) video about Wolf Shaper I focus on sound design.Since this video is over 40 minutes long I've made detailed timestamps to make it easier to navigate it.Usually I'd make a coherent piece of music, but I wanted to focus on sound design and not waste time on composing music, so this video is an outlier in that regard.Anyway - it was really fun to make, and I hope it'll be fun and inspiring to watch!

As usual - you can download my Ardour 5.12 session and play with it yourself.Enjoy!- unfa

UV#29 Wolf Shaper: Waveshaping for Sound Design

unfa vlog #29 WARNING: loud, painful, high-pitched sounds after 30:50 - watch your playback volume! In this video I'm pushing sine waves (and not only) to the extreme. I'm talking about using Wolf Shaper (a great free and open-source waveshaping plug-in) for sound design - taking the simplest possible input, and transforming it into something completely different. As it turns - out many interesting sounds can be created that way, but even more importantly - it pushes you to be more creative! --- · Timestamps: 00:24 - Intro 00:52 - Blank Ardour session 02:31 - Initiating the first sound 06:08 - Automating the warp functions 09:50 - Initiating the second sound 10:24 - Automating the pre-gain 11:18 - Adding Cross-modulation in Helm 12:21 - Adding reverb 12:53 - Initiating the third sound 13:25 - Explaining DC offset and it's effect on distortion 19:00 - Similarity of FM synthesis and waveshaping 19:53 - Adding noise 22:00 - Initiating the fourth sound 22:47 - Discovering the best sound on the planet 23:58 - Recording "instant party" vocals 25:38 - Explaining how the "Instant party" sound work 22:47 - Discovering the best sound on the planet 28:34 - Distorting "instant party" 30:50 - initiating the fifth sound (watch out for loud high-pitched sounds!) 32:32 - Wet farts! 34:32 - Using a Calf Envelope Filter 35:06 - Playing all the sounds together 37:11 - Summing it up · Downloads: Ardour 5.12 Session: https://is.gd/IhZpR6 · Links: Wolf Shaper: https://github.com/pdesaulniers/wolf-shaper Helm: https://tytel.org/helm/ Zyn-Fusion: http://zynaddsubfx.sourceforge.net/zyn-fusion.html Ardour: http://ardour.org --- If you feel thankful and want to support what I do, you can: http://patreon.com/unfa - donate monthly via Patreon and get some cool bonuses http://unfa.bandcamp.com - buy my music on Bandcamp http://paypal.me/unfa - donate directly via PayPal --- If you want more of my digital presence, check these places: http://mastodon.social/@unfa http://facebook.com/unfamusic http://soundcloud.com/unfa Now go, make some music!
