What a superb and inspiring overview, Dan! So great to see ShaperBox used for drum kit mixing, as we spent a loooong time ensuring the new audio triggering algorithms would "just work" on drums and other acoustic source. The guitar processing was awesome as well! And we loved the attention you paid to technical aspects like crossovers/phase - these are important details that often go unnoticed 🔍

When you give the Swiss Army knife of audio manipulation to the Swiss Army guy of audio knowledge, creativity, and eloquence, greatness ensues. Truly inspiring - thank you!

@cableguys I have this plugin but I wished I used it more. My. main grips are: 1. the knobs / sliders are behaving weirdly when using a pen / tablet on mac os. For example, if you pull down below 0, the lowest point is now 0, which is very confusing as the reference keeps sliding. This is my only plugin that has is this issue. 2. I really wish we could modulate a shape live. For example, the first I want to when setting up a trans-gate is to modulate the length / amplitude of one or multiple notes. Same for the filter, otherwise it sounds very repetitive / too predictable. 3. There are lots of parameters that would like to modulate that cannot be modulated using the curve UI. You have to use your DAW for that, which IMHO defeats the purpose of using ShaperBox for modulation in the first place. On the positive side, I really like the new audio trigger features.

Everyday is a good day to watch Dan’s videos

let's be honest: Dan is the best tutorial showcase person on the internet, to introduce and show people about plugins, engineering and mixing in general. I was thinking about purchasing Shaperbox, but removed from that, because it's too pretty expensive for me, but Dan manages to make me hungry for grabbing that.

i got it at black friday with a student discount on top, a lot cheaper that way 🙂

Dan's videos are engaging, great to geek out on, but also impeccably crafted. It's great to watch a master work.

i cannot describe the joy when i saw this video pop up in my recommendation cause i love shaperbox I know I'm about to learn some brand new production and mixing techniques

you can do the same with a multiband compressor if it supports downward expansion (like fabfilter pro-mb) and i'm guessing people have made use of it before. it is a very cool trick though and one i never thought of

I hope Dan earned a lot of money for reviewing this great plug. He done so well no other can do!

OMG, "if this isn't easier than automating within your DAW, please tell me which DAW you're using." That's so excellent, and so true. This is an amazing, useful video. I have SB3, but I'm ashamed how much I'm leaving unused! Thanks!

That was a sick guitar solo on the drive shaper demo!

Absolutely fantastic video, as usual.

Very powerful plugin! Thanks Dan!

Fantastic job as always! Thanks so much for making this

Glad you're back!!!!

one of my favorite plugins for sure

What a "thing". Thanks for the fantastic tour. ✌🏼

Absolutely fantastic tutorial!

what a banger of a video Dan! love my shaperbox!

Fantastic tutorial. Dan's the man

What a wonderful overview, Dan! I’m massively under utilising this plug-in!!! Top job, as always!

Great plugin! Amazing insight on multiband width manipulation!

What a great video and an amazing piece of software.

Thank you for the incredible demonstration! This is one of my favourite channels! 😎

Wow, simply an amazing precision in the way you work and the way you teach. Thx for that!

When I woke up this morning I remembered watching older videos of Dan thinking "when is he uploading a new video? I want a new video." Seems my wishes were heard :D Great review of a really interesting plugin. Never heard of it but it seems to offer many new possibilities.

this consolidates so many parts of my sounddesign workflow, especailly for background sfx. insane! thanks for featuring it

Thank you Dan! I love that you teach so much about the craft, even as you teach about the tooling.

One of my all time favourite plugins.

I learned so much from this video. Thank you!! I can't wait to try all your ideas. The midside stuff was a huge game changer

This was really something... thank you Dan once again! :) You're a true Engineer and an artist! :D

Thanks Dan, i've had Shaper Box for a few years now, good to find a few tips i don't already know

It's been a while. Thanks for returning.

This is the best overview of Shaperbox 3 I’ve seen. That was amazing. Liked and sub’d. Thanks for sharing!

You make some of the best plugin videos ever

literally just bought shaperbox last week. perfect timing

That soft clip Drive trick was so awesome

This was so wild! I've never heard of this plugin before and it seems totally insane.

I've been using this plugin on a couple of Rock/Blues albums this week. Enveloped distortion and whitenoise subtly affecting the snare hits to help with the sound. So glad I picked it up when they had the sale recently. Definitely not 'just' for EDM production. Can also be used for mixing work, and for many different genres. Going to be one of my staple plugins. Very unique, but so useful. Just what I want, instead of "yet another console emulation" plugin from many other companies jumping on that bandwagon before it rolls out of town.

Those peak meters dancing with the music, brilliant! :)

A video from Dan Worrall is always the best notification of the day.

I watch this video every day 😊❤

long time no see!!! happy to hear from you again! ciaociao from italy!

I love shaperbox! The amazing functionality and sound quality of this modular plugin has made me a big fan of the cableguys

Amazing plugin and great tutorial/overview as always. Few mins in all the convincing I need. I've always been reluctant to edit all the parameters in Cubase when I use synths in trailer/prog orchestra stuff. Picked this up and can't wait to use in the next cyberpunk orchestra track :D

As always killer information presented seamlessly, I always learn at least a few engineering tips regardless of the gear. That said, this thing looks REALLY interesting. Thanks as always.

ShaperBox is actually way more powerful and usable than I first imagined. Bravo Dan and CableGuys.

After watching this video I had to buy the plugin immediately. Amazing! Thank you Dan.

Once again, Dan has knocked it out of the park.

Okay thanks I didn't know I needed this but now I'm going to be broke. Please Cableguys next time wait until the end of the month! Amazing plugin and the perfect man to put it on display.

very nice tutorial. I learned something new

I remember buying the first Shaperbox after seeing Dan's video on it. This new video has made me equally excited.

This plugin is truly a potential game-changer. Every moment in this video was ground breaking for me. Never has there been THIS much flexibility on so many levels/sub-levels. This could mark the beginning of a paradigm-shift in mixing tools....

Outstanding timing, bought ShaperBox this week and love it already!

Love to see my favourite YT Music Producer nailing Promotions. Well diserved. ❤❤ More will definetly come.

I came for the overview of Shaperbox features, but stayed for the tips about stereo widening. Very illuminating. Thanks!

Welcome back! 😃

I was really missing new Dan's videos, started rewatching the older ones

This was the BEST overview / video manual I've ever seen on this product. I've had a license since v2 but never reached for it much. I anticipate that changing after this. Dan, you are a treasure to the community. May you "live long and prosper". Cable Guys, give this man a bonus! ~~~~

Dan, I absolutely love how in depth you go with everything and communicate with us in an intellectual way, unlike most music/audio KZread videos out there. Always a pleasure watching these and actually expanding my brain instead of just getting annoyed

holy shit this thing looks incredibly useful for any sound-wrangling endeavours

Thanks, Dan. I think, apart from all the different praises you get - very deservedly -, your videos are also a great inspiration to really use the tools and go deep with all the creative possibilities. Very often, we are ill advised to just hopp on the next funky plugin train instead of learning and discovering the tools we already have. And you coming up with more and more ideas of how to use a plugin, is not only fascinating and inspiring to watch, it also does justice to excellent tools like ShaperBox or the Fabfilter stuff which have obviously been crafted with great care and attention to detail. Very valuable.

I'm sold!

Thank god he's back!!!

Thanks Dad y mean Dan... Love how you slipped in that last one at the end

The amount you can do with this one plugin is astonishing. It's like its own mini-DAW. So the big library of presets is a godsend. But if you REALLY know what you're doing, it seems like there's almost nothing you can't do. A whole multi-mic drumkit mix that absolutely THUMPS? No problem! Great video.

Welcome back to you!

This inspires me to use the Shaper Box 2 plugin I haven't used in months. It should be my go-to for multiband compression at least.

This is great, I like Shaperbox but don't reach for it enough. This video should be good motivation to continue using it and getting more comfortable with it. Great stuff Dan :)

A bit ago after first seeing this video I took up plugin boutique on their time shaper box deal and I have 0 regrets about it. I love just time shaper already. Such a complex module in an expansive ecosystem.

I've only just started watching this video but I wanted to say that I am very, very excited to see my favourite youtuber (Dan) intersecting with my one of my favourite plugins (Shaperbox). As Dan says at the beginning, this plugin is absolutely not just for glitchy EDM type tracks. I don't mix glitchy EDM type tracks but this often finds its way on to my mixes because it is powerful beyond measure. I see this video is 35 minutes long. Which means that it just scratches the surface. ...time passes ... Okay, watched it all now and it was all I hoped it would be (and more). Learnt something about how to use the plugin and also some general tips about mixing too. Well done, Dan and well done Cableguys for getting the perfect person to explain your plugin.

Ever since this plugin came out years back, it has been my swiss army knife in mixing, sound design and more...

I'm back for a third round, because... Dan... not only a master, but also very soothing and enjoyable. I come back for the pleasure and to reabsorb and solidify the many golden nuggets and nuances Dan has generously shared. Thanks again, Dan. Crazy good! Oh, yes, for sure, I'll return to this one many times to come.

Bloody brilliant. I have sb3 and this has given me some incredibly valuable insight. . Raring to go. :) thank you 🙏 asymmetric

Just got the basic Shaperbox 3/Time Shaper for FREE! At Plugin Boutique. Fantastic piece of kit and can't wait to start using it to get really expressive. 😎

Nice one Dan

I wanted it. Now I need it.

Thanks Dan, this is my “flavor” plugin of choice. I use it mostly for Industrial and it rules! I really dig the transient envelope triggering for adding noise and flange hits.

I love this plugin. I use volume to sidechain kick and bass.

I love Shaperbox. In my latest project I am using it to push the bass up on 3-4 beats. Sure there are other ways to do it, but it is just so simple.

Welcome back Dan! You have been missed. By the way, this is an excellent video...

Mr Worrall you've done it again

Those of us who love ShaperBox are already sold. I hope this tempts others. Thanks Dan.

great video ! bit the best is … Dan is back !

I was one of 2? 3? buyers and users of Spectron and was so disappointed it was dropped. So this is for me. What a demo!

Easy to tell why a company would want you to demo their product. This video production is absolutely sublime. It's like a 35-minute musical journey where you accidentally learn advanced concepts and it makes the product look red-hot. I need Shaperbox yesterday.

Late to the party guys, amazing showcase, I was so intimidated by the sheer complexity of this plug in but you did a real good job of guiding me through it, will definitely grab a copy of this. P.S. I wish this was a guitar pedal

Amazing stuff Dan, I have been using Shaper Box since day one and haven't really considered all the amazing possibilities you have shown. I do however like to use the percussive sounds in the noise to accent synth apps etc.

great video! and am a little astonished; shaperbox 3 is SO much more incredible than i know it to be (and am now going to have to explore it more), thanx for making me work 🤣

I just bought this and as soon as I opened it and had a small fiddle with it, I realised it was so powerful I didn’t even know where to start…In a good way 🙂. Brilliant plugin.

Dan loves to show off noise as synth. He's so expert! I have been so inspired, I now do all my work in sines "with processing". This gives you skill to modify any sound to any other sound. Quite a reusable skill, but takes loads of time to learn. ha....listened on and Dan's on sine waves!

Hey, you're back!

THE CHAMP IS BACK!

My favorite plug-in

Just got this as a freebie when buying other plugins in Plugin Boutique! I guess now it's time for a deep dive with no other than Dan Worrall himself!! 😊😊

HE HAS RETURNED!

Thank god. Another Dan Worrall video. I already have this plug, and love it. But I shall watch every minute of this.

I bought the original Shaperbox and have expanded and upgraded to V3. It has steadily improved in time and the audio sidechain trigger is extremely useful. I look forward to see what else they include in the future. I would like to see MID/SIDE options if possible, unless I am missing something. For the money I have paid I think I have had great value and I use it in every track I make. It's just that useful. It's good for chopping and remixing too.
