There's not too many people giving out advanced creative techniques like these on KZread. Thanks a lot for sharing!

Yes. Music is experienced more with emotions so this aspect is very important. But this will always be important, even when tape is forgotten because it has a dreamlike surreal quality even to someone unfamiliar with tape. It evokes a feeling of music heard in the wind on the beach, fading in and out. This is heard in the music of Lone, Kona Triangle, Com Truise, etc.

this is one of the greatest tutorials by far.. not too much talking but at the same good explained ! 9 minutes of my lifetime worth listening, thank you! lookin forward

I can't believe this god send of a tutorial has popped up today, just as I am on a journey of trying to work a lot of these things out for my self via trial & error. Cannot thank you enough! But thank you!

Yeah. I that this is a whole other argument- I have a whole hardware studio, but think this is a great approach for being able to deal with this kind of processing task when required- and ftr, more client briefs than ever are requesting BOC/Com Truise vibes and one does not always have the benefit of retiring to their hardware island when revisions are being bounced in- having some portable processing options is good... And this helps newcomers understand the fundamentals of what they are after

I like this tutorial lots, have puzzled about the BoC sound for ages. Thanks for this. My solution, which has proved quite expensive, was to go out and buy an open reel. They're great things in themselves and really add a warmth and low end to the recordings.

I have made BOC out of most of the different equipment I have. You realize that is was not just one thing but that most of their sounds are original organic things with no 2 songs alike. There are a million ways to get their sound and I explore that in many of my videos.

Thanks for the reply, I was, as said, very happy with this insight - especially in using the modulation options within Live's sampler. This was something I was until your video appeared totally unaware of. I might add, that my solution has proved expensive, given my inexperience of open reels. One tip I would say with open Reels here is: Never buy or use Shamrock tape! Unless you really want to clog your machine up with tape dust and degraded binder. Thanks again for the reply and I'll check out the rest of you BoC videos.

You do a really great job and I always look forward to your videos. Don't let anyone get you down.

This could almost double as a tutorial for chilled out French House, great stuff

I can indeed confirm that Peg by Steely Dan is the best recording of all time.

AWESOME video, man!! I am a huge BoC fan and I think you did a swell job.

reel to reels sounded pretty good actually, warm. this sounded like an AM radio with a weak antena, played from a wobbly elementary school tape deck. great tutorial though, amazing how you do it all with just ableton, and this is 2013 ableton. :-O wow.

your sounddesign videos are really nice. wish you'd do more :)

nice breakdown. love your vo, sir. calm and knowledgeable.

After listening to this, couldn't help but put on De La Soul - Eye Know. Lol!! Great little video, pitch warp seems a little too much but sounds like a good starting point.

this is splendid. Thanks a bunch

I like how you called it "beautified" when it actually sounded shittier. It's funny how we tend to find the old stuff more beautiful these days. Pretty much like Instagram, adding imperfections to our final product to give that old imperfect feel, making it somehow more beautiful because we're tired of perfection. Really cool video sir, great to see a refreshing tutorial :)

Yes, in Ableton you can use transpose along with envelopes and combinations of Ableton effects to do the same thing. I was just trying to do it the easy way by creating an instance of Sampler once, then from then on you can do it in 5 seconds by just throwing a track in there.

Thank you for this excellent tutorial!

I'm not sure I'd use this on an entire track but a really good approach for individual track effects. Nice work. You should post the .als file for others to down load. :)

G.T.E. ----> Greatest Tutorial Ever

Can I just say this is awesome! I never knew !

Beautiful! and many thanks for the tutorial.

can't wait for your next BOC tuts!!!

Super nice. Thanks for your research. The Ableton wizards over at Puremagnetik constructed some Live packs called Microtron Tape 1,2 and 3. Some great instrument racks in there with respect to the ol Mellotron et al.

Looking forward to the next 9. !

I just used excess to show what the effect is. These things are best in moderation. I continue to use my Panasonic RQ209DAS in mono for recordings all the time. I use them together for the result I want.

Thanks! I will try this on my own recorded synths or drums

Really informative & looking forward to future BoC tutorials. Appreciate it.

Very cool. love your instructional style. keep em coming!

i run some of my sounds through the TE op-1 and this brings some noise and warmth to it as well. great tutorial though!

Great fun,you clearly know your stuff, thanks for sharing

Awesome, totally awesome! Thanks so much for sharing!

I guess I should move from fl to ableton, this is awesome.

There is a lot of cool effects on shortwave and distant AM radio, with fade and flutter. QRN (natural interference) and QRM (man-made interference).

Ok you're a genius. Subscribed.

this rules man, thanks tonnes, very helpful for idiots like me with no recall, i wouldn't learn if i didn't have youtube

also try turning the tubes bias up but lowering the dry/wet for more tube-impact

Thanks so much. Looking forward to experimenting.

That was awesome! I wish I had Ableton so I could do this.

This should be doable with any software that has a sampling feature with lfo's and basic effects. Or, just get a cassette deck or reel-to-reel machine!

whoa man this was really cool! looking forward to check out the other tutorials

Although I admire the way you redid the effect I believe that the sound of an all analog reel to reel is more organic,warm and fluid sounding. Just use a reel to reel if you want ''that''sound!.

Great stuff dude. Thanks for these amazing tutorials.

ahhh! the good old days of cassette decks

this tutorial is gold

Yeah I did another one but took it down and decided to go in depth with a series.

Thanks. I turned down the amount of pitch of LFO 2 and the filter noise to my own tastes but it sounds great.

Really good ! Looking forward to episodes 2-10!

This is nice! Low-fi everything!

this is too legit- i fkn love Sampler

oh thank you! I Was looking for this for ages. tyty

this is a fantastic tutorial. thanks

Hey if anyone wondered, the sample is called "Piano 05_88Bpm - H&RPP2" from "HipHop and R&B Producer Pack 2" by Digital Loopline. Now you know.

good lecture

Thanks, I can't wait for the next tutorial !

Not completely the same, but I've used the frequency shifter on the master to achieve similar effects. I think the autofilter effect has an LFO'ed option as well, so you can try these.

Very cool! Keep 'em coming.

Amazing work, thanks for posting this!

I'm sure they use other samplers aside from an MPC for different textures and things, but I remember reading somewhere that they build their songs with an MPC.

Great and very helpful tutorial !

Thank you so much! This is an awesome tutorial!

Use whatever tools you want. Music's "redundancy" isn't based on a "purist's" love of whether hardware was used or not. I have tons of hardware, collected since 1990 when I started but I still use many plugins. I don't limit myself.

You can do this in give or take 2 minutes on an MPC. I think some of these types of effects were actually done on the MPC. But this is just my speculation. I know they use an MPC though.

The wow might be tape stretch but more likely the zinc carbon batteries on your portable are on the way out. Ah! Analogue days where are they now?

Great tutorial. Thanks!

Love a bit of Steely Dan! However what was that piano piece you used? It was incredible!

That is like saying just use a Jupiter 8 if you want that sound. Not everybody has access to one or want a giant piece of equipment in their small space. Though I agree that real tape sounds better than digital. Even an old portable mono cassette player can sound very good to run one track through.

Wow that's really clever, thank you for the ideas! :)

Pretty cool.

When I was a kid we had a Lloyd's cassette recorder, manufactured in Korea. We stupidly gave our defense, tech and our money to Korea in a way which destroyed our own manufacturing. Anyway, that player came with a Lloyd's cassette that stored magnetic information slightly better than masking tape.

We are just having some fun over here bro, just chill.

That's your Lloyd's brand tape! Ha haa

you are amazing! thank you!

Really cool, I'm not super familiar with ableton, but can you modulate the lfos with another lfo to make the effect a bit more random.

An old Grundig reel to reel recorder is hardly the Jupiter 8 in reel to reel land. That's how BOC get their analog lo-fi sound. Shouldn't be very expensive,at least in Holland they aren't;-).

Love it! But how can i rout it to my master without having to drop the track in the sampler, basically i would like to use the effect on a send then be able to send tracks to it and then parallel adjust the wet/dry

that's exactly what a thought (and what I was going to comment here). maybe using the m4l lfo's random wave with smooth all the way up instead of sampler's lfos.

If you have Max of Live now you can just use the Max device called Slow Bendit.

I showed in the tutorial how easy it is, so just make one. It will take you a few minutes. Be sure and sub for future tuts.

Hey Wavestrike, How do I achieve the 'gated' Kick drum with a 'thwack' sound that appears in Sunshine Recorder (Geogaddi) and Valis Called Control (Com Truise)? Any ideas. I have been adjusting the gate over the reverb and also the tail of the kick but i can't get that 'thwack' thats in the tail...maybe i need to expand the output of the gate or get some resonance on the tail??

Play with the reverb predelay. Also you can record only the wet reverb and move it around on a second track giving you more control over where the reverb lands.

Wavestrike Electronics its been on my mind so i've stuck with it whilst i was waiting to hear from you. I have applied a freq shifter, in ableton live, on to the gated plate reverb (so metallic) and that gets me that 'reso-thwack' in the tail. i'm going to try pre-delay tomorrow and maybe my Oto Biscuit. thanks for coming back to me.

Could you please go into more detail about what the compressor is doing? I'm using another DAW, but can recreate this other than that...

This was sweet man thanks allot!

Man, someone should go over similar techniques in Logic

On the "sample" tab turn up the "volume."

Can you explain further? Where can I change the Vel of the sample?

Thanks!

thank you !

Brilliant tutorial : )

Great tutorial!

very nice! I think you can make it even better with some (Max for Life) LFO's to subtlely modulate the LFO amount/rate on the various effects in the Sampler... This will make it sound a bit more random... :)

Great job thank you. Are you going to relase the other parts here, on youtube?

kept watching cause of steely dan aw yeuh!

too cool!!

Hey great work! I am trying to recreate as closely as I can the EL Fatso using just Ableton Devices and need a good way to emulate the tape saturation, I used your flow here and made it more subtle but my only problem is your using sampler's LFOs. I notice some comments regarding the use of the M4L LFOs instead of sampler. Could I use those instead so that I can create a BUS channel? Hope I am not way off subject but any advice or help could be useful for this noob, thanks!

Not quite, they use an akai s1000.

Nice effect, thanks

Exactly! It's about exploring. Buying, selling, optimizing, modding, cutting down to the essential... whatever works for you. It's a bit sad that you find it offensive when I am actually merely sharing advice that I got first hand through Chris Clark some time ago - changed my life: Don't put the cart before the horse. First work on what you want to say, then on how you want to say it ;)

Thanks for the tutorial!

You are awesome

Thank you for this video. Is there any way to setup a same effect for MIDI VST rather than sampler?

For Mac there is Airwindows Stereo Flutter and for Windows Wow and Flutter. You could probably use Ablton's Autofilter and Saturator in conjunction with one of these to get a similar thing.
