Watch out for the resonance knob because it can scream like a filterbank. If you start messing with FM and AM knobs you get some filterbank goodies.
#DECAPITATOR VST BLOWING OUT MANUAL#
The manual doesn’t describe a lot of these features in depth but this is from my experience during long sampling sessions. You also get a beat repeat effect when you chain the filter to the transient. If you have a drum break record you want to sample you can calm down the transients or excite them. If you start messing with transient knobs you have a cool transient designer. Leyy if you leave the transient, FM, AM, Inout boost, and overdrive alone then You have the smoothest -12db and -24db filter box with the ability to chain a primary filter to secondary. I need to spend more time with the regular compressor in Live in see where the sweet spots are. The other filter which is the Oscar (OSR) can get some interesting BPF effects too. With the MS20 and PRD filter on LPF you get a lot of sweet spots. On a totally digital filter system the aliasing and undertones of an ES sample are harder to bring up. I plug the same ensoniq loop into simpler and use the MS20 and Moog PRD filter clones and I get a similar effect. I also don’t like live’s gui so sometimes i go inside battery 4 and build kits in there instead of drum racks.Īlso make sure your live session is in 96khz so you can take advantage of the the HQ effects.įor example I have a rodec restyler as my outboard analog filter and I will constantly run my loops I did on my EPS sampler into it and as I gradually filter down the analog LPF I get these unique artifacts and tones. You will just need to practice with your threshold and do a low 1.5 or 2:1 ratio. Glue itself is as good as the Native Instruments Solid State SSL Clone compressor without the extra money spent. Then I started micro adjusting the native effects in live. Then one Sunday I started writing drum patterns and synth lines. That’s why he’s also selling the parallel effects kit through F9 audio. I was watching one of those F9 videos where he says after 9.5 many of the effects got revamped.
#DECAPITATOR VST BLOWING OUT FULL#
That’s $99 in the sale so should I just get the full suite for $205 or not waste my money and use the AH for all of those effects (excl. So really that just leaves the full Echoboy which I’ve trialled and it’s very nice. I’m not really interested in the crystalizer or any vocal effects. And even to some extent the Phaser and Tremolator with LFO routing on the AH. Now I’ve got AH though I’m thinking that covers (and in a much nicer way) the Decapitator, Devil-loc, Filterfreak, Sie-Q and Radiator. Their summer sale just started and I can get ST5 for $205 as I already own Echoboy Jr. The EQ, filter and LFO effects are also very cool.īefore I jumped on this though I was waiting for the Soundtoys sale to get the complete collection at a good price. I tend towards subtle use and it has a massive effect on making a mix alive, more vibrant and a little crunchy. I recently bought an Analog Heat (from a fellow Elektronaut) and love it.
TL/DR : Does anyone have AH and Soundtoys 5? I’ve got an AH…tell me why I should also get Soundtoys.
