The pivot point thing is so cool! Even though I'm comfortable with sound design I love watching these videos, I almost always walk away with something new!
Nice, thanks for checking it out! Yeah there are so many tutorials already, it took me a long time to figure out what I could even add to the conversation. But I think these little creativity psychology hacks are where I can really shine 🌞
Once aspiring producers find you, you will blow up, the most detailed, quick to the point tutorial....he did in 10 mins what I've watched hours of others blow through at speeds and not show you everything....subbed and wubbed
Cool idea, I often find myself discarding those "original" routes, but keeping them around as texture/ options is definitely a great idea. Like you said, I can see how this is applied to many areas of life!
Nice tip! I like the do that when I want every single pad I play to trigger a note from a synth, it creates almost a kind of arpeggiator. And you can also design a synth patch like that using all the keys, and then drop it into a drum rack slot when you’re done. Good stuff!
Mate, ive searched hours and used untold methods to get that sound and sometimes its not as clean and takes ages of start stop youtube vids. U do it in seconds😂 Thanks for sharing this mate big help
Yooo...coming out the cuts with the ABCs and 123s of WUB 🤙Most excellent overview my friend, been looking for this tut since 2010...and adding plugins to drum rack for infinite variation and ideation... 🤯 Mind blown...bout to go pick up some mini marshmallows cause it's Hawt Coco szn
You have a nice way of explaining things. I really enjoy how you make each step clear. It's super easy to understand why you are doing each step and what it adds to the process. I'll have to check out your other stuff.
Aw, thanks so much! Yeah I definitely pride myself on clarity around complex topics so I’m so glad you feel that way! I do indeed have a ton more videos like this for you to explore. Happy to have you on the team! 🙏🏽
Love this! Never thought to put the VST into a drum rack (which would unblock my synth pattern explorations I do) as I usually rely on the keyboard to riff on. Also how do you balance having too many instances of VSTs duplicated with just automating the sound variations in a singular patch? I think some values can't be automated as well (like Octave up/down) but I assume you would automate when possible vs duplicating? Cheers!
Yes! It’s such a different way to approach soft synths, and I love it. You actually can automate octave on most synths! You just need to map it to a macro first. But yeah, sometimes I automate macros (I’ve been playing with expression pedals to move macros with my feet while I’m drumming) but sometimes it’s nice to just have a whole different sound on a pad. It might even lead to whole new automations! I think it just depends on your workflow and what you’re trying to make.
Nice! Yeah the drum rack feature might be a bit different, but the wub principles and the branching rabbit hole method will totally work in any DAW! Excited to hear how it works out 🤠
Thanks for this amazing tutorial man :) Question though: im also using vital but when i assign an lfo to the filter cutoff i get this annoying clicking sounds. I tried various lfos and envelopes and i get the clicking. However when im playing the sound and i manually move the filter cutoff i dont get the clicking. Its only when something is assigned to it...What can i do about that?
Hm, it’s really hard to say without seeing/hearing your patch. Things to look at when troubleshooting: - adjust the attack/release of your main amp envelope - adjust the attack/release of any compressor you’re using - adjust the attack/release of any side chaining you’re doing - try adjusting the cutoff and the resonance of the filter to find out where to click is happening and adjust from there Overall with clicks and pops you want to just keep adjusting parameters until you figure out where it’s coming from. It can be a bit of an Easter egg hunt sometimes. Hope that helps!
I like your videos, this one was pretty cool, I have question about using VST's in drum rack. I recently tried to use sublab in drum rack and i couldn't make pads choke on eachother. Are you exporting your wubs into simpler/sampler and them using them, or you play them straight from your synthesizer?
Yo thanks glad you like em! If you scroll back on my channel a bit I actually made a whole video going over how I put VST instruments in my drum racks. I like that for producing and sound design, but when it comes to performance I almost always bounce what I can to audio for CPU and simplicity/not worrying about patches and such. I love adding sublab to my drum racks too! What I suspect you're dealing with is the release on your amp envelope in sublab. The choke function stops the notes from the choked pads, but I don't think it stops their releases. So I would either shorten the release in sublab or just record it and play that in a sampler (just make sure to save the sublab patch!)
This creative process is rad. Thanks for sharing. What computer + os are you using btw? My macbook's cpu gets pretty gnar when handling more than 2 open vitals haha
Yo I feel you on that, I’ve had to upgrade a few times to keep up with my live sets. I’m currently running Monterey 12.5 on an M1 Pro Chip and everything is smooth as butter. But you can definitely use the same technique in the video by just recording your wub, saving the patch in vital to your user library and then drop the wub recording into the drum rack. Then you only need one open at a time and you can still go back and edit the patch if you need to. Hope that helps!
great technique for playing percussive presets. i had no idea you could drag vsts to sampler’s slot. is every wub a seperate instance of the PlugIn or is this just like a scene of the same preset?
@@hawtcocomusic thx, have since gotten Viral myself and enjoy it very much. it almost puts my modular to shame with its modulation options. Best UI in a softsynth i came across . The LFO with its freely scalable envelope mode and the easy way to connect and scale modulators to parameters is such a powerful tool and joy to use .
Putting filters on splice samples will only get you so far and robs you of the journey of sound design. Go down a wubbithole one time and come back with a bunch of tasty sounds and you'll never look back.

Hell yeah! Thanks for subbing and wubbing 🥹 I’ve got a lot more where this came from! Excited to have you on board
Bump! ❤❤
that was a fucking sick ass jam at the end there
Thanks mate! This is definitely one of my favs right now. I’m working on getting these drum racks online for download soon so stay tuned!
This guy has such a natural smile and cool vibe to him I can't help but to watch.
I just can’t hide the way I feel about stanky wubs 🥲
A minute in and the explanation is "Chef's Kiss". Instant wub sub! 😅
Yesss many more wubs where those came from! 🔉🔉🔉
Cool idea, I often find myself discarding those "original" routes, but keeping them around as texture/ options is definitely a great idea. Like you said, I can see how this is applied to many areas of life!
Right?! You just end up with sooo many more sounds sometimes. And yeah I've definitely been able to apply this elsewhere as well it's awesome. 🪄
huge, idk why i never thought of using a drum rack! way cleaner!
Yesssss I live for the drum rack! Welcome to the party 🥳
You can use a standard ableton group and solo your iterations if you want to still use the full keyboard instead of just one note per patch.
Nice tip! I like the do that when I want every single pad I play to trigger a note from a synth, it creates almost a kind of arpeggiator. And you can also design a synth patch like that using all the keys, and then drop it into a drum rack slot when you’re done. Good stuff!
Very good very good! The timeline is infinite
Maybe there isn’t even any time at all ⏰🤯
Mate, ive searched hours and used untold methods to get that sound and sometimes its not as clean and takes ages of start stop youtube vids. U do it in seconds😂 Thanks for sharing this mate big help
You can never go wrong with an FM sine wave haha may 100 filthy wubs bless you and yours. 🙏🏼
best transitions in the whole platform

Yessss there really is no end. Please make a mini marshmallows themed dubstep banger and report back asap ☕

Your sound design videos are some of the best I've come across. Would love to see some on Reese style basses and lasery sounds
Aw thanks homie! I freaking love Reese’s and lazer pewpews I can definitely see that coming down the line soon! 🤠
I love how much u love wubs makes me happy wubbbbbwubbb! Keep making cool vids dude!
Yessss the wubluv is real! 🙌🏽 many more on the way!
This was a great tutorial, great job on the editing and arrangement of the lesson!
Aw, thanks so much! Got a lot more where this came from ☺️
Let me know if there are ever any other topics you’d like me cover!
very cool tutorial and awesome way to teach these creative things!
really enjoyed it and now if I get to that pivot point, I'll do both :D
Nice! I hope you end up with a thousand extra wubs 🤠
I love your approach it’s so intresting
Awesome job on this and thank you!
absolutely beautiful video concept, thank you.
Aw thanks so much you’re very welcome. Tons more where this one came from! 🪩
Can you do a video on the creatively findingother elements (one shots, atmos, synths, etc) for a dubstep composition?
My next video actually goes into some more dubstep sound design! Make sure you subscribe so you don't miss it! 🤓👨🔬
Brazyyyyy

great video and lessons thank you
Super cool! Well done sir.
Thanks for checking it out! I hope your wub output increases tenfold 🔊🔊🔊
Dope video! You have my follow
Appreciate it! What kind of music are you playing with lately?
Great vibes and information!!
Aw thanks so much! So glad you dig it. Much more where this came from too, have a look around the channel 🤠
Love it, thanks for sharing your knowledge
My pleasure! There's more where that came from :)
Good video. Good creative practices!
Thanks! I collect creative practices the way some people collect stamps or baseball cards haha. Happy to share them with you!
thx for sharing! i don´t use Ableton but i´ll try to use this inspirating idea to do something similar in Reason
Nice! Yeah the drum rack feature might be a bit different, but the wub principles and the branching rabbit hole method will totally work in any DAW! Excited to hear how it works out 🤠
what're the pads called? love the vids
Aw thanks! For the finger drumming it’s an Ableton Push 2, and for the stick drumming it’s a Yamaha DTX Multi 12. They’re both great, I love them.

Killer video
Thanks mate! Hope it helps you make something epic 🙌🏽
thankyou
You’re very welcome! I’ve got some some DnB stuff on the way so I hope you stick around 🔉🔉🔉
just curious why 31 oh i guess it doesnt matter you are in a drum rack
you're an amazing finger drummer too lmao
Thanks! It’s the closest I can get to actually touching these wubz lol
New sub to the wuuub 😂😂😂❤
Welcome to the party baybeeee 👽🛸👽
ur goated
🐐🐐🐐
Really good thank you
You're very welcome! May your wubs be deep and plentyful 🙏🏽
this is the easiest wub video to understand i've ever seen
Sweeeet that's totally what I was going for 🙌🏽 hope it helps you make some super dank wübz in your own projects.
You could just resample them and put them into a 128
Yeah absolutely! That’s a great way to save cpu as well. I usually end up doing that down the line after I’m really happy with the sound.
🤩🤩🤩🤙🏽🤙🏽
🎆🎆🎆
Noice

Godamn how have I never heard "Wubbithole" before that's amazing. 😂 brb getting that tatted on my lower back.
Me too@@hawtcocomusic
Subscribed by the time you said “wubz” 🥹
Haha yes! Doing the lords work to spread the gospel lololol welcome to the party 👾🤘🏽
