Hello Person,

Taking the previous concepts of distortion into practice, Nik works on a loop of very basic elements using distortion to shape, place and mix the sounds.

Enjoy and let us know your thoughts!

I'm late to the party and blown away by all the wisdom on here.... the little bunny making appearances tho. cant help but giggle at it.

David May

Was the bunny inspired by Ricky Tinez's tiger?

I see now why compressing two sounds together will transfer the quality of the louder sound to the quieter one. If a compressor is a waveshaper with an envelope attached, and a waveshaper is a translation table, then the sound which is the loudest will be shaping the signal the most. This is the glue effect that people talk about, and this also means that using distortion will also have a similar effect.

wait is that tea WITH MILK?

Just a personal wish but I would very much love to see a project breakdown of one of the Outer Edges tunes. We had a lot of concept videos lately and that could be something a little bit more light for the summer months. Anyway loved the tutorial, as always! Exellent.

My vote is for Collider, I fucking love that tune!

Tom Finster

enjoyed this one a lot i usually try to avoid eq on simple drum sounds to keep the phase punchy, but distorting it again makes it totally work. will play around with that a lot.

how is your lfotool audio-responsive? i'm using ableton and it doesn't respond to audio if i set it to "ENV", i need to trigger it with midi.

George Hill

Marius, in bitwig the midi is routed automatically to an audio device.

Love these tutorials on focused subjects. Would love to see something on how perceptions works and ways of thinking 💖

I saw at 22:14 the folder "airwindows plugs" I would be curious what your favorite Airwindows plugins are / how you use them.

Thanks for another deep dive Nik! Really enjoyed watching how you toy with distortion and add character..the random resonance trick especially gave me lots of ideas. Looking forward to the next video!

Jahfed Wismans

Thanks again! All the tutorials so far are awesome and useful.

For a future tutorial consider a talk about the roll of noise in sound design and ways to process and incorporate noise into tracks

I am absolutely loving these. Is it possible to get your notes as a download as well? Or perhaps future tutorials could feature some text on the screen? Having your points be encapsulated/branded as concepts with proper titles would go a long way for some of the less experienced members I imagine. A list of sources or keywords to search for a deeper look outside of the Vision Recordings Patreon would be great. Knowing where YOU go to research would be an invaluable inclusion. Thanks again for the amazing tutorials. I had just set it to the $5 without coming here much as I wanted to help support through COVID, but this new dimension has me coming back daily and following you all individually on social media now. My fandom is now ONE LOUDER :D

George Krakus

it's great to see the subtleties of distortion and how delicately waveshaping thresholds can go from harmonics to fubar ... this is helpful even for seasoned producers as you really have to dial into things to get the sweet spot

Kofta Ball

Question. How did you get LFO tool to instantly retrigger on MIDI notes without having to make a seperate MIDI channel to send MIDI to that channel?

Bitwig automatically routes your midi to the audio devices in the chain. Unless they don't have a midi-thru, the midi signal will keep going throughout the chain.

KRYTIKA

Very inspiring. Thanks a lot for sharing. Would be interesting to see how you work with reverb.
