Scaler is the best plugin I have ever bought. Its so useful at any stage in production. My advice is to just go buy it if you have the money now or if not wait for a sale. It is 100% worth every penny.

Joshua...a HUGE "Thank You" for filling in ALOT of gaps I had using Scaler and speeding up my workflow.

I've been thinking about using Scaler to create some jazz backing tracks I can later use with my wind controller and Audio Modeling's SWAM Trumpet, Tenor Sax, etc, but after watching this, I realize that a better approach might be to play, say, a trumpet solo FIRST, then use your method to let Scaler determine the harmonization of my melody, i.e, suggesting the best chords to use, etc.

One of the best plugin i ever came across

Thankyou, I didn't know that you could change the timing of the chords so easily. That's a time saver.

This is THE most useful and concise tutorial for Scaler 2 I've seen. Scaler 2 is a very very powerful plug-in that I've had for a while, but have yet to fully wrap my head around as far as where it fits in my specific work flow.
I typically start with a sample, come up with my own bass line, then try to work out the key and the chords, This tip is a godsend for my use case. Thank you so much.

I already knew this but didn't know how it could be employed in music production. Thanks for the composition tips.

Still loving that felt piano sound. Best midi plugin there is, so many variations of chord voicings and performance.

right out of the gate!!love love your scaler 2 tutorials, learn something every time.

This video only scratches the surface of what Scaler 2 can do!
Between not having Scaler 2 and Captain Chords/Melody EPIC I think my production flow would be infantile.

I am so glad I discovered Scaler: it does so much for the price!

[tbonebeats]

[ryanperrault]

Fantastic and a great demo of some of the things that make Scaler great. I also love to use the voicing menu and they are 'contoured' chords made by artists. Nice tune!

[ronnyb]

[SCMESD]

I can’t wait to use this. This interesting to say the least.
