let your sounds design themselves

Inb4: I know there are some cool Max4Live devices that are also really good at for example smoothly morphing between different Audio-Rack snapshots! I do like this method more though as it gives me the most control over the chaos :D

Since people have been commenting on this since the last video: The "racist samples" folder is an in-joke between me and a friend where we shared folders with exotic / ethnic / world music / tribal kind of samples that are usually hard to find. The stuff in there is actually awesome!

[reflxes]

The stuff you're able to do creatively in ableton is absolutely insane to me. I've never seen anyone get as in-depth with custom creations like this! Thanks for the tutorials

[ZenWorld]

Taking CERTIFIED Ableton Instructor to another LEVEL !!

[Randuski]

it’s incredibly satisfying watching the eq line juggle the yellow points haha

[RetroPlus]

The EQ looks like bees trying to escape 9:08

This is the kind of Ableton video I'm here for. Keep the high-level tutorials coming!

I don't even use Ableton, but this is flipping epic

m4l expression control -> random on each midi in -> map to whatever parameter; gets you randomised settings per note w/smoothing control, log/lin response curves, saves you the processing of however many random LFOs

[ColBreakz]

I would say you can do the same thing easily in Kilohearts Snap Heap with the random LFOs

Virtual riot should really make some IDM. He'd be a god at it

[bubbabro]

German Ingenuity at it's finest! Thanks for the tips you're a legend dude

[MidnightUnity]

"Rackception", I don't expect less from one of your videos! Another amazing creative tutorial! :D

[meatxx]

bro all these VR studio drops are bringing a tear to my eye ... fucking happy 2024 everyone xD

Videos this we have been amazing. Big ups.

Kind of simplistic but I was wondering if you can cover something that has been stumping me for a long time. The DnB Reese bass example at 12:07 has that chugging 8th note attack feel before you apply the EQ8. Very familiar in the genre but I can’t suss it out. What is the concept behind programming that aspect of the sound? Thanks again for all you share.

These effect chains are nuts! I tried making the CHAOS EQ myself in FL Studio using Patcher! I made an entire video about it which is up on my channel now! And for those interested, the preset is free to download!

Keep being awesome Val!

virtual riot has so much creativity it's crazy

[thevirtunaut]

this was awesome. i loved that the 'rain' eqs made it almost sound like rain - a lot to philosophize about there. lol and then at the end: "oh yeah you can hook these up to parameters in Serum." 🤯

[Snenorspres]

I'm stuck at 5:37 I mapped the Frequency, Gain and Resonance however my EQ is not moving around. I have the waveform set to Random I must be missing something. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have about 13hrs total experience with a DAW, I just got recommended this for no reason. Watched it all the way through. What the f*** is even going on ? I bet experienced producers also have trouble understanding what sorcery just happened here. Sick vid ❤️

[ooglyga]

Ive never considered to this degree. Amazing stuff. Been making neat music on and off since 2008. Really cool idea !
