Always Aloof aye that’s a great idea! Pinned.

So I just tested this out. While it definitely has more control, I'm finding the best sounding are still the basic shapes, so there isn't any need for more control outside of what peak control does because the sound gets worse otherwise. I also noticed it's harder to match the original output of the volume. The way I copy and past the volume onto the base knob in peak controller doesn't translate to envelope controller. This is due to the increased amount of control with the envelope knob. So even copy and pasting doesn't get you the exact value...you have to manually adjust the knobs. When I finally did get the settings right, I A/B with peak control and there are obvious artifacts coming from envelope controller. I can't seem to dial in settings that are equal to or superior to peak controller. Definitely test this out yourself because it's a night and day difference. I originally loved the concept because of what you said about setting adding the sample. Turns out, you're still adding env controller like you would add the sample anyway. I already have mine setup in the template so it's no hassle at all really. Overall, it's easier to dial in settings on peak control and actually sounds better. The extra amount of control on env control isn't adding anything beneficial in terms of how I like my sidechain to sound...it's actually making it worse. This might be why I don't see anyone really digging into this plugin. In theory, this should be a go to plugin for automation. It's just not stacking up vs. just doing it in the playlist or using peak controller. Again, don't take my word for it...actually test and do what's best for you.

@@Inflightmuzik Hmm, not sure what you are doing. But I have no problems copy/pasting the volume settings (I use fruity balance) to the envelope. I also do not get any artifacts.

Always Aloof you won’t notice unless you a b test. If you want I’ll email you a video proving everything I just laid out

Always Aloof also you’re not using the technique I’m speaking about. It probably does work well with fruity balance. The artifacts are with the eq ducking. Again it’s a night at day difference. But I already see this isn’t something you do so we are talking about two different things here. Definitely keep using it with fruity balance if that works for you.

Craig Daub Beats Happy to share 😁

Aye, I appreciate the kind words! Thanks for your support and I hope to keep delivering the goods!

Akeem H thanks man I really appreciate that. I do actually have a “type beat” tutorial I’m dropping next week, but I think 10 out of 10 people will recognize the major difference between when I do one vs. everyone else. I’ll only do a type beat video is there are specific techniques I want to go over. This one in particular will be going over tips, plugins, fx and techniques for guitar type beats.

@@Inflightmuzik your how to's are great especially the one where you teach dark melodies . I have a few of those scales templated, because its useful. However these manipulation techniques are of a different status.

Happy to help!

Tim Furedi appreciate that, hope this helps 💯

Classes for FL Studio? Nah, I just been using it longer than anyone I know on youtube. Self taught on piano as well. I did take audio production in college using pro tools, but unfortunately that was more focused on tv/radio broadcasting than music production.

Since version 4. Read the manual for the smaller details that people look over. From there you can do specific youtube searches for more information that you're missing after that. The forum is incredibly valuable. But you need a legal copy of FL Studio. I assume since you're on 12, it's cracked. FL Studio has lifetime free updates so anyone using older versions, specifically 12, I usually come to that conclusion. Hopefully you'll make your way to the forums one of these days and you'll get to where you want to be in FL.

absolutely...just like it was on me lol. Suffered from bad sounding sidechaining and not sidechaining at all. Been there, done that, glad it's over.

247 365 thanks for coming thru 🙏🏽

@@Inflightmuzik anytime, my pleasure G

Blue Eyes you’re still compressing which inherently isn’t as clean as ducking. Peak controller will always be a cleaner sound. Again if you’re doing edm and actually want that pumping effect, different story

My too...most of us have 😀

You can literally use any sound at all. If loading a synth is what works best for you, fantastic. Personally I prefer what I showed in the video for the reasons I explained in the video, but it doesn’t matter either way. Just get the job done your way

yes, with the new update we have linear phase filters. Dropping the tutorial next week or sooner

no. There is like a string of videos for like one or two weeks where I tested using a noise gate in SLOBS during the recording. As you can tell, the vocals get cut off and the sound is jarring when the background noise peeks through in some videos, so I stopped using them months ago. Also, floorfish is a noise gate. So whenever you hear that effect in the future, now you know what that effect is called. Floorfish is just the brand name of a specific noise gate. It's great for a free plugin. But most daws (or audio recording software in general like slobs/obs) have noise gates that come stock anyway.

Corey Key yessir!

Moky Larry because they don’t care about manipulating their drum hits in the sampler. This is common in EDM where they have a ton of drum samples and rather just scan for the best sample vs. manipulating one.

InflightMuzik ok can you send me your email so I can email you now before I start work I have business to chat about

@@mokylarry1525 i already did in your last comment inflightmuzik@gmail.com Link should be in description of all my videos as well.

downloaded it from google. called midnight skin

thanks bro

@Symmo lol, I like the beaz. But I also like my beats to sound better than everyone else's 😉 At the end of the day, the engineer will do it for him.

@@Inflightmuzik yh, I used to peepee ride him so much but tbh his mixing is not it but when you're at that level you can just let anyone else to fix your shitty mixing 😂. But there are we always trying to learn to get the best mixing ever and some unique sound and shit and for me that's the most important thing cuz you don't depend on a engineer 😏

@@symmo4810 Yeah, I'm like Murda Beatz in that I really don't want the engineer to change my mix. I like my drums to hit hard, the bass to breathe, and the instruments to glue it all together. I'm not trying to let someone mess up my balance when I know it sounds fire compared to what's on the radio. So many shit "pro mixes" out there nowadays in every genre.

@@Inflightmuzik I can tell, that template is some crazy shit I wouldn't even understand lmfao. I would def use it if I'm going for more clean af sound and shit like the beat you've been using here but I think I get my workflow faster if I got only what I need instead of 3793637 channels with 3894737 sends 😂

Sometimes I do get lost in it lol. I'm actually about to move things around to make the instruments in alphabetical order. not sure why I didn't do that in the first place.

Completely muted. No sound is coming out of the sidechain track

InflightMuzik damn there is no sound coming into the controller at all after I set everything up. I can’t seem to find what I am doing wrong

There is a mute option at the bottom right of peak controller. Turn that on and off again to fix that. Crap, I don't remember if I mentioned that in the video!

InflightMuzik oh i was forgetting to put the pattern in the playlist so that it would actually take effect lmao. I did it and holy fuck my kicks are so much better bro u the realest keep those tuts coming at least u got one lifetime follower haha

@@Bestavashvili oh haha. glad you figured it out!

its a skin i dled from google. called dark skin or midnight i forget

@@Inflightmuzik is it free

Because the kick and 808 don’t always play at the same time. When they don’t, people still want the 808 to have an attack just without the knock of the kick. If you did that right, then combining them will cause a spike in volume and makes your final limiter/master chain work harder. Sidechain fixes that

I think you missed something because it's literally what I'm using the entire time. The channel that says sidechain is the hihat. The mixer track that says sidechain is the hihat. The envelope and the out knob is adjusted so that I'm mostly only using the beginning of the hat (the transient), which is why peak controller has a perfect angle to the volume ducking. No part of the video other than showing you fruity limiter isn't using the hi hat. Hope that helps you understand what's going on.

InflightMuzik IFM u might of slow it down a little for them may u going to fast, yeah slow it just a little so they get it ..

@@Deco_2k yeah gotta find that balance.

@@Deco_2k You can always change playback speed to slow it down too. Usually I'm speeding people up to get to the point lol. Hate wasting people's time.

@@Inflightmuzik so you were sidechaining the hihat, not the kick?

Josiah Duncan so that your sidechain trigger doesn’t play through your bass. Otherwise you’re going to hear that hi hat playing with your bass. By having a sidechain track, you can mute that track. Obviously you don’t want to mute your bass lol

Josiah Duncan Just TRY to add everything to your bass track...you’ll get your answer. If you figure out a way to do it all on one channel with peak controller, feel free to share how 😉

Duvan Camilo Rueda Salcedo You don’t have to turn up the sustain. You can turn up the release and clear that up as well. Neither of those are a solution. You turn up the sustain and you no longer have the curve you want. You turn up the release you no longer have the curve you want. All you did was create more compression, which is the point of the video, to avoid having to do that and get the exact ducking shape you need/want without artifacts. There is a cost to everything you do when it comes to sidechain compression. The technique I showed avoids all and any of that. But definitely keep doing what works for you. Again, I think I mentioned in the video if you’re doing Edam and are going for the pumping effect, then yes, sidechain compression with fl limiter would be an option.

I appreciate you looking out though.
