Secret weapon: InEarDisplay Amalgame. It's a mad noises factory, a multieffect unit. Feed anything into it, and you have no idea what's going to come out. Craft something intentionally, or just randomise and tweak the result a bit. I will sit there for hours, saving my own new presets, recording long streams of sound, cutting it up. There's no telling that a preset you make will actually have the same effect on the next bit of audio, so sometimes I'm scratching my head wondering why I named a preset "Newsroom" because it made one sound into delicate evolving typewriters given that it's turning a new noise into hellfire. (To clarify: I make tons of sounds with this which then become sampler food, so I can play them as instruments or process them further. Great for weird glitchy sounds, classic techstep barks, or whatever else Amalgame feels like doing.) More expensive, more predicable but equally dramatic: Unfiltered Audio BYOME.
Virtual Riot turned me on to Texture, but Stranjah you went way deeper with what it can do in this tutorial. I am working on a punk and dnb hybrid song using some of your's and TC's resources and some punk rock midi drum patterns, but I am altering the patterns to be a 2 step pattern at 174BPM. I have used Texture a bit in the past, but now I am way more excited to use it again and put it on the these drums to get them dirtier and to punch through and beef up the bass and vocalisms in the track. Thanks for these great insights on Texture.
Amazing tool!! this will save a lot of processing time when adding elements to a break etc!! i bought this immediately after i saw this video :) nice discount too 👍
I'd normally do this all in the box using Renoise, so I usually tend to not have 3rd party plugins in the process BUT lately I found out, a plugin can really motivate to find something new and it brings aspects, that haven't been visible before. So, in this view Texture would be worth a try and also the filter plugin they now have. Thank you for sharing!
FAK! Now THIS is AWESOME! I had no clue about this, but damn does it bring something BIG to the table! This is something I can get behind, as you said so yourself, this isn't just 'another, same old' boring, plugin. I could imagine adding this to so much and getting really good and unique results. This sure saves having to manually find samples to layer, as everything is self contained.
Been considering getting this for a while, I already swear by their Duck vst but you've now convinced me to pull the trigger on Texture, I can imagine it will sound sick on pads Also, big up man like Johney!
@@STRANJAH it's hands down the best sidechain tool I've ever tried, no clicky/clipping artifacts, doesn't colour the sound and it's super flexible with tonnes of options. My favourite thing is that if you have it set up to be triggered it will show the waveform of your trigger source so that you can change the reduction curve shape to match really easily, you can get a real tight sidechain that cleans up the mix without that obvious "sucking" effect that sidechaining often creates. It's easily in my top 3 most used plugins, I've used it on basically everything I've made since I got it
We've got another plugin (which I think will be super useful for bass music) on the go at the moment. But once we've got that in the bag we will have a look at key tracking (and probably making that pitch knob a bit more user friendly as well!)
Big ups stranjah! great tutorials as always. I have one question! Please oh please can you do a seperate video on how you made that screech bass! Jesus christ, that sounds was lush as hell, literally captivated me, my eyes went wide open and my ears pricked up, absolute filthy!
tbh. texture is nice but there is nothing you cant do allready with stock plugins etc. i am not a huge fan of them all-in-one boxes, but there will be people having fun with it. by the way: we need more capone secrets ;)
i love stuffs like this, makes my workfow faster :) i respect all the different approaches, but sometimes i need fast solutions, so i dont really care about presets either..if i like something i use it with slight changes, and i move on
Copped Texture -thanks for the vid and the discount! Mentioned this vid in the section asking where I heard about texture too! Thanks for covering these plugins!
It kinda reminds me of Trash2 and its convolution section (but more advanced). btw, I found your channel few days ago and I think I'll end up watching everything, really interesting tutorials. I wish it existed when I first got interested in breakbeat and stuff.
Not bad for multi-tool for subtile texturing, otherwise we all (seems to) doing same post editing and additional pumping of sound, but manually. As i've seen, here i also need to handlet tweeking parameters, but now just from one FX source.
Maybe a stupid question, but this could work on any sound source right? It simply follows along with the outputted audio? What I mean is, this would work to add something to external hardware based drum machines, samplers and synths?
Pretty cool plug-in. I can see this being useful. I already do this kind of layering manually, but I like the control level that this offers. Key tracking would be a huge addition and would likely cause the plugin to require a significant boost in processing power. It would need to have native pitch detection and be able to calculate that on the fly while triggering the layer accordingly. I don't know anything about coding, though so who knows.
Hey, could you make a video about the new VST Vital? i love your vids and i´d love to follow along witzh your tutorials. But i dont have the money to buy VSTs like Serum and such.. would be amazing!
I’m making music on a great desktop PC and i find it really laggy, are you using ASIO? What audio drivers are you using? Do you have an audio interface?
👉 500 LIKES for this video please! What other plugins would you like to see me use? 🙂
I'd like to see so massive tutorials for any one that is still using it
You can test the new Vital synth.
@@alejandrogr9516 Yes looking forward to grabbing it today!
Shaperbox, Thermal & Portal get my votes..

I really like how this can be as complex as you want it to be, or super quick and easy. You don't have to get lost in it, to get good results.
Yes its a great tool!

Virtual Riot uses Texture? :0
Came back by just to see the intro. Stayed for the T E X T U R E
wicked!
Textured toilet roll is the bomb. Triple ply gang stand up
@@kray9438 I’m glad someone got the joke haha
Thanks Stranjah and Devious Machines for making me aware of this! This looks so intuitive!!!
Your welcome, its real easy to use!
Such a huge difference with and without texture! Love this on big room / psy tracks too
Amazing tool!! this will save a lot of processing time when adding elements to a break etc!! i bought this immediately after i saw this video :) nice discount too 👍
Have fun with the tool, only scratched the surface what you can do!
same bro, but i bought it right after a few kick samples, installed and finished the video...the tool i just need for the track im working on :)
The opening tunes always get me hyped af to learn the techniques! Thanks for all of your hard work!
Will defo be adding that plugin to my collection!
Texture needs Pitch Follow/Key tracking to adjust pitch to original sample.

Bwahaha big fat yes to the intro
Didn't think it was possible to top the hairdryer intro
hahah bigup!
glad you enjoyed it!

YES!! I'm glad you found this as exciting as I did. Very cool and intuitive!
i could think of a thousand uses with texture being used in conjunction with serum
Thanks !
Best intro yet 😂
Been considering getting this for a while, I already swear by their Duck vst but you've now convinced me to pull the trigger on Texture, I can imagine it will sound sick on pads

Still have to try Duck, good alternative to Serum LFO Tool!

was a little unsure at first, but man you can't argue with those results. Definitely better used in your hands. thanks for showcasing it!
The new Vital Synth - there are some wicked things going on in this wavetable vst :D
Looking forward - thx for your work, doing this nice tutos ^^
I've just bought and give you credit for it in choose "other". Top recommendation
Great shout on the key tracking! Hope developers listen & move swiftly... Looks like a very useful plugin otherwise.
Yes that would be a huge improvement!

Yes if you have the tech know-how you can definitely do it on your own, that is a good point.

Sounds cool! I think I'll give it a try on some ambient tracks.
Copped Texture -thanks for the vid and the discount! Mentioned this vid in the section asking where I heard about texture too!
Thanks for covering these plugins!
Thank you for mentioning the video that's cool!
Bruh that tune at the end needs its own release haha
I will finish it!
That intro is my BIGGEST pet peeve.
hahahaha it really is a thing
It kinda reminds me of Trash2 and its convolution section (but more advanced).
btw, I found your channel few days ago and I think I'll end up watching everything, really interesting tutorials. I wish it existed when I first got interested in breakbeat and stuff.
lol the flying tp!! you video productions are so good!
Thank you!
Very interesting tool, thanks
THE INTRO IS BACK!!! Fucking right man!!! Great vid per usual.
Do one for Pitchmap from Zynaptiq
Can y do a Tutorial on the basses used in the tune?x
Not bad for multi-tool for subtile texturing, otherwise we all (seems to) doing same post editing and additional pumping of sound, but manually. As i've seen, here i also need to handlet tweeking parameters, but now just from one FX source.
Yes its a neat tool for quick results

Oooh that is an interesting question. Conceptually I think that should work if you patch this to the audio channel that the hardware will feed into.

Will do, Just made a gnarly foghorn with it
@@STRANJAH 🙏 🙏
thx bro, good deal! :)
Dang that looks handy
Reminds me of fruity peak controler 😅
Devious Machines should update the plugin to mak it so EVERY parameter can be assigned to the envelope...
Yeah It's excellent but could do with more modulation freedom. Duck is also dope af, just wish it could be resized. Big up Devious Machines!
Ahahahaha, that intro bro!
glad you enjoyed!
I'm the 500th like! Seen!
Wow, keep it up, and you may have to get a lottery ticket! ;-)
Interesting
Are you still releasing DnB? If not then why not?
Certainly sounds fuller with texture
I’m making music on a great desktop PC and i find it really laggy, are you using ASIO? What audio drivers are you using? Do you have an audio interface?
Yes having a dedicate interface helps. I use the RME Babyface Pro, but you can get cheaper ones too. I am on ASIO.
@@STRANJAH thanks man !
How did you make/where did you find the trumpet stab?
Kontakt Brass Ensemble with some distortion
Hey man what midi keyboard do you use
Novation Remote SL 61, due for a new one though
Do you have any opinions on the NovationTV laucnhkey 49 mk3 vs the arturoa keylab essentials for a soley dnb and ableton user?
Hey brother. Been getting your serum presets and they don’t seem to be working, get back to me yeah?
these intros ahahaha thx again man
welcome!
Hello. Can you explain what leering is. And how to combine several sounds into one sample.
Leering yes
I have never heard the term, Google doesn't bring anything up as well. Is it something I said, maybe I slurred the word!
Layering?
@@STRANJAH Мisspelled - (Layering)
How did you know what note the bass is?
I used the Ableton tuner effect to detect the note.
thanks. my problem was that I didnt know how to let the bass play alone but the dry/wet button did the job. just all the way to wet
There is also a solo button right next to the gain knob -_-
11:32 40, going on 13 Alan?
Hmmm not sure what you are referring to here!
@@STRANJAH oh, haha, you voice entering into puberty! 🥳
@@STRANJAH just go into the LiBarRii
Can someone make a montage of just his intros? I know it’s what we all want
After IZOTOPE stopped the development of TRASH2, it is really a good alternative. ^^
I would throw my hard earned money at you for some crispy Vital DnB presets, just saying.
vital has packs that have presets in
It'll happen just wait!
Please, stop dancing! 😘🤣
