Recreating a $450 pedal with FREE plugins #shorts #musician #musicproducer

Howdy! Today I wanted to try and recreate the Hologram Microcosm using only FREE plugins and I think I got pretty close!

You’re really good at suggesting free plugins and recreating sounds. Some of these things are more expensive than I can afford, so thank you.

I have a Microcosm pedal. Jamming with some friends the other day and the drummer says, "Play that last thing again." I had to explain that the heat death of the universe will occur before the pedal will reproduce the same sound twice.

You’re basically binging with Babish but for musicians😂 love it dude keep it up

[RobinMBeatz]

Been loving these shorts recently. Keep up the great work!

As soon as I saw “$450” I knew it was Microcosm. I just got one recently and really like it but this is a somewhat painful reminder that nowadays pretty much everything you love in hardware can be done in software for free. Makes me question what’s the point of spending all this money anymore. All someone needs to do is conquer the mouse so that we can actually interact with all our software as though it’s hardware (and no, generic midi controllers are not a true solution) and then there really won’t be a point to doing anything outside a computer again.

Absolutely loving Emergence, definitely my favourite plugin I've discovered this year

[antfactor]

I'd been wondering about how to approximate that pedal for a while. This is a lovely idea. Cheers!

[Musicore]

Your sounds are so nuanced and subtle. Definitely dank. Dank dank dank.

[Lonestardebater]

That Emergence plugin looks super cool. Never heard of it before.

[sonusaurelius]

Nice one Cameron. Shorts are usually super annoying and depressing but yours make me happy and joyful. Freeness helps!

[northwest]

Hah! First time i've seen this dude and he managed to get me to buy the Emergence plugin. Won't be the last time I check out his channel, either!

[BrofUJu]

You're the granular king! Thanks for tipping us off to Emergence, it's great

[samthesomniator]

The hack is incredible cool. But, has it the same style like using such a cool hardware device. 🤤

[errornosignal]

Love Supermassive! So crazy Valhalla gives that out....

[Boske]

bro I was searching exactly for this! Thanks so much! I love the sound of microcosms but I'm broke

[Shortybeard]

Immediately went and grabbed all these plugins. Been drooling over the micro for a while now. Plugins sound amazing. Thanks!!!!

[slain]

I have to admit, anytime I see something new from you - I get a little excited! Your music prod. tidbits you share are great! Thank you!

[aquaticborealis]

Very useful, thanks. I’d rather not buy an expensive pedal, but I don’t have tons of time to explore plugins and try to recreate some of the very cool stuff you can do with pedals

[notchillustgrhymecity]

That was very silk and nicely perfectly to the point ....ly done King

[andrew-pc]

This is awesome. Do more like this (if you want to). I do think free/stock plugins can probably mimic most pedals when combined creatively.
