Awesome for any sort of snare drums

Oh my word, I love this, Eric. This is so helpful for someone like me joining in squarely in middle age. Thank you!

It’s nice to see a bunch of options on the market, it’s also very educational to know the origins of this in terms of D/A hardware. Thanks for that. I only found the demonstration itself to be lacking any real value to me. Just playing audio through a limiter and switching Clippers on/off at 12db (or whatever you set it to) tells us very little other than that they are doing ‘something’. Great, but it leaves me with way more questions than answers. These products are built for real world Mastering applications, and understanding these products in that sweet spot is the real value to understanding the differences between one and the other. For example, Clipping transients that are only a few samples long can often give you back headroom with nearly zero perceptual difference, which at the mastering level is how we’d use these products. So why not demonstrate some of this? As a potential consumer trying to purchase one (or at most two) that work the best for me, this is why I’m seeking out videos like yours. Maybe food for thought? Good to have a list of products though, so thanks, but I’ll keep searching for the video I wanted to see.

Regarding Box Big CLipper 2, I think you have a high pass filter at 200Hz, which could explain why it doesn’t clip as much as the other clippers, it must let peaks below 200 Hz unclipped.

Sir, thank you for a lot of info. You have yourself a great day!

I have just gotten the TDR Limiter 6 GE, not used it much just yet. I also have Venomode Maximal 3, a limiter with an input clipper. The one I use right now on my Studio One 6.5+ 2 bus as an insert is the LVC Clipped-MAX. I send that clipped signal into LVC Limited-MAX. The limiter is just to make certain peaks don't go over my -1.0 ceiling.

And yes, I'm aware I haven't put out a video in months. I'm hoping to rectify that soon. I've had both a) a shedload of personal stuff crop up that's drained a lot of my time and b) I'm heads-down on the new Klack record...it's almost done! It's so close!

May i ask what you mean when clipping with the Tdr 6 Limiter clipping module you say „it shows 3 db but i know i am clipping more“ , why would the meter lie ? I consider Tdr plugins to be among the best when it comes down to reliability thats why i am asking. Btw Saturate is not multiband. To the summary, yes they all are very similar. Thats my conclusion over the years. We have a lot of productions at -2 -3 lufs so clipping is here to stay (for now). There is a lot of „incredible loudness“ as you say. I personally find everything „louder than -7, -8 lufs to be very fatiguing

Thanks so much for this video. I use Logic and am trying to decide which soft clipper to get and this was so helpful. Subbed!

Unjustifiably underrated

Ash is the best I’ve tried

Thanks for the vicarious peek into your world. Love live your music (and hearing)!

awesome! saw you guys @ Unconvention last year in Morristown Hyatt.

What have you done

Wow, I admire anyone with organizational skills to be able to get on planes and play internationally. Does it get easier over time or is it always a bit anxiety inducing trying to remember everything? I'm very looking forward to your views on gain staging. I've watched a ton of TH-cam videos and half say gain stage through the whole process and the other half says it doesn't matter anymore in the digital realm and just pull down the faders or slap a volume pedal at the end of your chain. Personally the former way has had a huge impact on the quality of my final mixes in my opinion.

I Love this song and it's accompanying video so very much. 🖤

Man this is creepy beautiful.....video reminds me of "interstate love song" great job needs to be soundtrack for a series

Great video, thanks for sharing this technique!

Would people be down to start a discord group to share such sounds and build a communal drumkit?

ADPTR's Streamliner is going to save me hours of panic attacks, wow.

Im eager for a developer to make a sound generator based on the point you made earlier of listening to samples you import and make variations upon that.

Loved the Bad Gear homage. Florian is a treasure.

Stop calling it A.I. !! ti's not it's nothing but complex algorithm : A.I. my ass 🤣🤣🤣

Fantastic info! Danku

I still like to make it on my own 😎old school I am 😂

brilliant opening! ; )

thanks for the overview, I just got them both now. thanks for helping me spend more money hahaha

13-14 minutes in and I've heard about 10 seconds of drums. Please on god less talking and more actually showing us the instrument...

😂dope intro

This is so beautifull! Well Done! Lyrics going deep and such a creative clip!

It really is great! Thanks for the plugs! Lol plugs get it 😂

gonna be great for sound design for games

Very useful. Thank you

Thanks for sharing this! Alex is a great guy.

Honestly, I'd been following Emergent Drums for a while, but MACE really impresses me as a source of weird shit that I can further mangle. Easy buy, thanks for bringing it to my attention! Steinberg also have a drum plugin called Backbone which can both generate and resynthesize drum samples using a machine learning model, as well as break them down into separate tonal and atonal elements. Of the three it seems like the most powerful for building production-ready drums, but it is also quite expensive at $150, which could get one something like Kick 2 and a bunch of sample packs. This generative stuff is really cool from a producer's perspective, but I do worry about what this means for artists who rely on sample packs to make ends meet. I agree with Clif that Emergent's online rendering is 100% to protect their assets. Early on, when they switched away from a subscription model, they promised that if the company went under they'd release the model so that the program could be run offline, which suggests that it can be run just fine on consumer hardware. I really want to support them since they seem very passionate and actively engage with their community, but they also raise all the typical red flags you see from tech entrepreneurs--particularly those in new fields like machine learning. I've been leery since they walked back the free lifetime licenses for their early beta testers and then immediately tried to switch to a predatory subscription model.

Good stuff. Thanks for taking the time to run us thru these.

Alright this was Fire!!! finally TH-cam recommends something good lol

The online portion is almost always to protect their models. Building them takes a lot of resources, using them generally takes much much less.

I never ever trust a venue to have their own when I play out but as a venue we made damn sure we had them onhand - so so so so important and there's no way that should be left to chance.

Yes! having my own has saved my ass (and other people's!) so many times

Oh, Winston :-D

I love this plugin! I use it in every track I make, especially on the drums. Check out Shapeshifter too!

It's wild that I came across your channel because I got recommended your demo of a tape plugin review. Your track "Electrified" has been a staple of my DJ sets for like 12 years. 🙂 Sketch Cassette looks cool. I have Klevgrand's DAW Cassette and Spectral Plugins' OCS-45, but Maybe I'll pick this one up, too. I love collecting plugins!

Loved it!

Your intro....masterful. Hilarious. Thank you for making me and my friend laugh randomly.

I fully endorse this product or service.

So good!

More people should know about Sketch Cassette

my favorite tape plugin hands down

Nice tune 👌
