In this tutorial, Joshua Casper introduces a simple yet impactful bass patch using Super 8 by Native Instruments. The demonstration begins with a preview of the bass within the context of a Drum & Bass track.

Focusing on a single oscillator, he adjusts parameters to shape the desired bass tones.

Casper adjusts the filter settings, emphasizing the character and utilizing the filter envelope for nuanced control. With tweaks to decay and release in the amp envelope, he achieves a well-rounded bass sound. Adding a touch of reverb to enhance the spaciousness, the bass patch is ready.

The tutorial concludes with a quick demonstration of the created bass patch in the context of the track. Casper notes a slight automation addition to the filter cutoff and amp envelope for a dynamic effect.

The process, completed in under a minute, showcases the simplicity and effectiveness of crafting a quality bass patch with Super 8. Joshua Casper invites feedback in the comments and expresses the hope that viewers have gained valuable insights for their music production endeavors.

Join Joshua Casper in welcoming Alexkid from 510k.

In this livestream they will discuss polyrhythms and how you can create sequences with SEQUND with ease. Sequences that would be very complicated to do with a normal DAW. Alex will demonstrate different ways of using SEQUND in a creative manner and show us what makes it stand out from others. Other topics will include using SEQUND live and the new features of its latest update as well.

It is a very powerful yes simple sequencer. And more than all, it is non threatening and lots of fun to use.

About Alex

Alexkid an electronic musician and DJ. He’s released a fair amount of music over the past 30years on well established labels. But he’s also a nerd and gets excited by technology and possibilities. Beacuse of that, he’s been developing M4L patches with a very specific interest in Sequencers and polyrhythms.

Alexkid is the founder / owner of 510k, but in regards to SEQUND, he’s been working in collaboration with Tadashi Suginomori from HY-Plugins in order to bring his designs into the AU/VST world. They’re also currently working on new devices.

In this tutorial, Joshua Casper guides producers through the creation of a dynamic sound using Super 8 by Native Instruments. Starting with an initialized patch, Casper delves into shaping the oscillator one sound by adjusting its shape, activating unison, and incorporating drift and glide for added texture. Exploring pitch modification and modulation, he creates movement and interest in the sound.

Moving to oscillator two, Casper refines the bass, adjusting the sawtooth shape and detuning it for a desired effect. Utilizing modulation and modulation routing, he introduces variations in speed and applies key tracking for further complexity. Incorporating white noise and additional modulation, Casper enhances the sonic landscape.

Casper then fine-tunes the sound with effects, activating chorus and reverb to achieve a massive result. The tutorial concludes with adjustments to the mod wheel, touch strip, and pan for added expression and movement. Casper recommends exploring the synth further and highlights its versatility in different projects.

1. **Initialization:**
– Load an initialized patch in Super 8.

2. **Oscillator 1:**
– Adjust the shape of oscillator 1 by adding or removing harmonics.
– Enable unison (set to 2).
– Add drift for a more organic sound.
– Apply glide and open up the spread and stereo.

3. **Modulation and Pitch Modification:**
– Add some pitch modification to oscillator 1.
– Send oscillator 1 to modulator 1 and adjust the speed and depth.

4. **Oscillator 2:**
– Adjust the shape of oscillator 2, reducing the fineness of the sawtooth.
– Turn off syncing to the keyboard for a bassier sound.
– Mix in oscillator 2 with oscillator 1.

5. **Filter and Amp Envelope:**
– Set a long attack, decay, and release for a pad sound.
– Roll off some of the filter for shaping.

6. **Additional Character:**
– Add character and FM to oscillator 2.
– Send modulator 1 to oscillator 1 and adjust the speed.

7. **White Noise:**
– Create white noise by modifying the modulation settings.
– Send modulation to the filter envelope.

8. **Effects:**
– Turn on the chorus and reverb effects.
– Experiment with different reverb presets.

9. **Fine-Tuning and Modulation:**
– Fine-tune the sound by adjusting various parameters.
– Add modulation to the mod wheel for expressive changes.
– Apply modulation to the touch strip for filter control.

10. **Pan and Final Adjustments:**
– Add pan modulation to modulator 1.
– Make final adjustments to achieve the desired sound.

11. **Explore Further:**
– Experiment with additional parameters and effects.
– Consider becoming a Loopcloud subscriber for access to Super 8.
– Check out Loopcloud tutorials on the Blue Cloud Channel.

12. **Conclusion:**
– Save and use the created Super 8 patch in your projects.
– Join Joshua Casper in the next video for more insights.

In this tutorial, presented by Joshua Casper, the focus is on treating a slap-bass solo performance audio track that was captured as a direct input. He will be using Guitar Rig 7 from Native Instruments and a number of the great effects in it.

Joshua starts by adding a compressor to manage the dynamic range of the slap bass. He emphasizes the need to balance the percussive slaps with the overall tonality of the bass.

After demonstrating the initial settings, he introduces a cabinet system to give the bass a sense of space, cautioning against excessive use of reverb. Joshua tweaks the EQ settings to achieve the desired balance and adds a final compressor for overall dynamics control.

He encourages experimentation with presets and emphasizes the non-linear nature of adjustments in the signal chain. Joshua concludes by showcasing the transformed solo performance, attributing the original performance to Dr. Funk and providing a link to Dr. Funk’s channel.

He signs off by inviting viewers to explore Guitar Rig 7 and expressing anticipation for the next video.

**Loopcloud ARTIST PLAN for 1 Month for £1 / $1 / €1

Joshua Casper, from Loopcloud, delves into the distinctions between the Loopcloud app and the Loopcloud VST. He emphasizes that both are available to Loopcloud subscribers, with no preference for one over the other. The choice between them depends on the user’s workflow and preferences. The Loopcloud app operates as a separate application, offering versatility with access to over 4 million loop samples, including Rex files, Apple loops, and Serum presets. In contrast, the VST is integrated into your DAW but limits access to Wave files only.

The app supports multitrack functionality, allowing users up to eight tracks, whereas the VST functions essentially as one track. Casper highlights that the VST can be applied to multiple tracks simultaneously, enabling multitrack capabilities within your DAW. Both versions feature integration with your DAW and a built-in "find similar sounds" function, showcased as an impressive feature.

However, the app surpasses the VST in AI versatility by offering additional features like finding harmonic and rhythmic matches. Importing and managing your own sounds is exclusive to the app, complete with an AI tagging system. The app provides more comprehensive browsing options, such as viewing new packs, popularity, and creating custom collections, features absent in the VST. Unique to the app are built-in effects, the ability to create patterns from one-shots, cloud storage, and hardware integration.

Casper emphasizes that the decision between the app and VST depends on your workflow preferences, with different projects potentially favoring one over the other. He encourages users to explore both options and select the one that best aligns with their needs. In closing, Casper expresses gratitude for Loopcloud subscribers and seeks input on future video topics.
