Great technique. Something else to try, if you have the Polar RE in Reason, add pitch shifting after the Neptune and before the eq. (or even do a spider and use 2 Polars for up to 5 pitches). You need to be careful to avoid the mud...but it does blend with some of the other pad-generating techniques you have described.
Hi Venus Theory, Great Video, thank you so much! Was seriously inspired- but wanted it to take one step further and have the pad as instrument.. My setting is slightly different- no Reason, but "The Mangle" for the grains part, Melodyne essential for autotuning and time shifting and then a bunch of samplers (Bitwig, Kontakt, Harmor, Iris 2). As far what you described, that works very, very well and creates a beautiful complex drone- but it's "static" and difficult to play up and down the keyboard..so I extended the process a bit: 1.Have a reduced pitch tonality- just wobble a bit around C3 (autotuner, melodyne)- for the spoken text. Avoid complex chords. 2.Then throw it into the mangle- that adds a bit of pitch drifts, but not necessarily much. 3.Possibly add Paulstretch and/or Cloud Seed (And: i added some stereo expander, that oddly gets reduced when importing into a sampler??) 4.the tricky thing is now to get that into a sampler..I wanted to be all samples of equal length- I found all my samplers somehow lost with this..can't really digest ist well- Harmor showed the biggest variations between complete mess and fantastique imports, but it was very inconsistent. So I finally used melodyne to get timeshifted samples every 3 notes of equal lenght or so and then exported them as wav file, that a sampler can import. 5. Then get them in a sampler- used for convenience Bitwig, as it has some nice slicing & importing options..And then I can loop them there easely. 6. What is yet missing is a nice legato to get from one note to the other..but other than that, it's close to a quality tonal instrument with enough variation to sound alive..it's amazing, what grains and delays can create- thanks!
Thanks for this video. And a big YES, tto, please put it into UVi's Falcon! It would be very helpful if you could do more on Falcon, please. Your expertise in sounddesign certainly helps us a lot in taming that beast. F.e. how to do a cinematic "gritty subbassy bass sound" that is also just brick-solid (I hope you know what I want to describe)... Thanks for all your very helpful tutorials & all the best to you from Vienna!
2:41 Oh, I see. I did that yeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaars ago already and found that out as well. Albeit I just took whatever the audio was and didn't have pitchcorrection.
Amazing video Cameron! Thanks for sharing. Btw, Scream was bypassed that's why you couldn't change the parameters. I was watching your Cecilia videos a couple of years ago and I was making my drones with it for a while. But the program stopped working on my PC anymore and it's so complicated to reinstall and make it work that I gave up on it. Also, I was pretty happy with the results I got from Grain so it wasn't worth the hustle. I'll definitely give this technique a go! Tnx!
Glad you enjoyed it! And sadly I had the same issue - eventually it quit working, but luckily things like Falcon and Reason Grain came to the rescue, and good ol' paulstretch haha. Have fun with it - it's really interesting and can give some super cool results!
Easy and cool , I need to try that , tomorrow I'll record myself saying dumb stuff slowly and than I'm gonna use something similar to PaulXStretch and hear the result ahahah
Hello ! I want to ask for help! How can I set up the piano in REASON 11 to accompany me if I play a melody? So that if I play a tune you can take chords by yourself! Thank you for your reply !
I might have to experiment with Grain in this process as well at some point just to see what happens haha. Or Grain the Paulstretch...and Paulstretch again...for science
Yep! Just a like super super extreme version of it. It's also open source and pretty well documented as to how it works if you're curious to see the exact ins and outs!
@@VenusTheory thank you. I thought so. I visited the page and was positively surprised the inventor gives it away for free :) Great tip, I will test it. Stay safe and sound.
More Reason Rack stuff soon?

If this guy isn't a professional radio host, he should be.
More Reason related videos please.
Coming soon!
I was half expecting you read the Bee Movie script but this is almost as good.
I almost did haha. But then I remembered Alecia asking me to watch Bratz with her so I figured that'd be a better fit.
Man the paul x stretch is amazing, thanks for sharing this technique !
This is a whole tv show lol love it
Bratz is an under-appreciated gem.
Sometimes I sing the 'fabulous' song
@@VenusTheory could be a cool album concept 'repurposed'. A Neuro tech banger from Hannah Montana and an ambient tune from Slayer.
Great technique.

It's fun. Yeah, already figured it out long before this vid, but still learn some cool things from you i didn't knew about.
your dog is so cute omg, also great video
Thanks haha, she's a gem.
Awesome, thanks mate for the inspiration 🙂 Btw. your dog is really cute.
No problem! And thanks haha, she's a ham
You just reminded me to purchase that percolator :) Thank you for your fantastic video!
Coffee is love, coffee is life
Cool technique 🎵🎵🎵👍

love the captions for the cute dog :)
She's a character haha
I found it through Guy Michelmore. Awesome. 😊
2:41 Oh, I see. I did that yeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaars ago already and found that out as well. Albeit I just took whatever the audio was and didn't have pitchcorrection.
Wow!
Sounds great!
how dare i miss this video when it came out
Better late than never, but I can't say my feelings aren't crushed 😭
Amazing video Cameron! Thanks for sharing.

Enjoy! It's a lot of fun and a good way to hide some stupid stuff in your track haha

I liked this before even watching it lol
Grain called. Wondered why you had this shifty, ethereal, vocal party without it.
I might have to experiment with Grain in this process as well at some point just to see what happens haha. Or Grain the Paulstretch...and Paulstretch again...for science
When can we expect a sample pack of Cally?
I'll have to put it on my to-do list. Might turn her snoring into a wavetable or something
Cool. Is Paul X stretch basically a granular synthesizer? Cheers

FUCK ME - THAT'S A MIGHTY LONG WAY FROM VOCODER HEAVEN!!!
what a lead in... 🥴😂
