Does it have all the same features as convolver?

One of the coolest way to make some very rich pads is to load pink or white noise in the convolution reverb and run any instrument through it. Most will sound really good, then is just a matter of applying some filtering to "mold" it better afterwards.

Will def try this!

Convolution is one of my favorite effects because you can make any sound interesting with it. Something worth mentioning and not explicitly said, but with convolution you can synthesize your own reverbs as well. With some noise and whatever effect you want you can make the craziest reverbs. For instance, one with automated bitcrush to have a sort of degrading tail.

It became my favorite effect too in only a matter of days. There's literally nothing you can slap on a convolver that wont sound interesting. I love recording random bits of videos (dialogue works particularly well) and put it over a drum loop. I gotta try your reverb trick aswell!

The quality of this channel really stands out in the KZread music production space it's kinda crazy

For those that felt a little lost on the definition of impulse response: I had this problem too through three different courses on control systems in college. It wasn't until years later that somebody gave me a wonderful explanation of what it is. You're basically hitting something with a hammer and describing what it does. The "impulse" being the hammer whack and the response being what this unknown thing does as a reaction.

Wow this is one of the most inspiring episodes I have seen, thanks a lot I will put KHS Convolver to work

This channel in particular has been a huge source of information, inspiration and humor. Thank your for your continued amazing work!

I absolutely love every video you make! Always so informative and inspiring. Seriously. I am moving away from making “trap,” because you have convinced me to express my true passion of making ambient soundscapes and just letting out all of my creativity. Even more so, I am trying to blend the two to see what I can create. Please don’t stop making music and videos!

@@ivansoto9723 not that you asked for it! But if you love jazz theory, like I do, I recently took a huge step in my playing and production, by getting IRealpro, and playing jazz! And stealing ideas from the progressions I liked and making tracks out of them! Once you buy the app you can get the chords for literally 1400 jazz pieces, as well as hundreds of other songs from other tracks, It’s been really freeing to experiment with chord charts and focus on how to voice them in my own way :) Instead of constantly forcing myself to come up with something harmonically original EVERYTIME I SIT DOWN! It’s been a relief and a great way to practice all that theory knowledge I’ve been building up

I want to make ambient, and sacrificed a dream of making deathstep to do so. I have one demo and numerous failed attempts. Tuning convolution reverb for me is a nightmare.

Great video and well explained. I recently submerged three speakers [two bookshelves and one sub] in a pond, did an underwater IR, recording with two hydrophones. Now I can run stuff under water with my waves plugin. Caves, culverts, barns, suitcase, guitar and tubes I have also captured and documented on video. I love this process.

Well, that's pretty convoluted topic. Nice video!

This video made clear a few things I didn't understand about using convolution appropriately. Suddenly it makes much more sense and using it is like magic. Adding tones, textures and space all in a way very friendly to experimentation. Thanks!

A nice mathematical property of convolution is that it is associative just like multiplication. I.e. a * b * c * d is the same as a * x if x=b * c * d. This means that if the convolution plugin is eating up your CPU and you don't have a need to adjust parameters of individual convolution instances while the tune is playing, you can run the first impulse response through the following convolution steps and get a combined impulse response that sounds just like all of the convolutions together.

Awesome vid! I have the KHS subscription for quite some time now and the possibilities with the entire package (MultiPass, SnapHeap, PhasePlant and the many plugins) are nothing short of endless. It can get really overwhelming so these vids that give pointers to applying certain modules to inspire creativity are most welcome. Thank you! 🙏

It can be quite fun to have vocal recordings in the convolver =)

This channel has some of the coolest videos on YT. You do a great job!

Awesome ideas. I like the idea of putting a drum loop through a chord sample. From a theory perspective any linear effect (like a delay or a filter) does a combination of delaying and attenuating (or amplifying) a frequency or set of frequencies. A convolution works by applying a delay and an attenuation/amplification to every frequency in the signal, separately. Therefore you can use a convolution to implement ANY linear effect (or set of linear effects), you just need to come up with the right IR. It can't do anything nonlinear (like saturation or compression) but otherwise it is an incredibly powerful tool.

@bobdeadbeef

2 жыл бұрын

That's not really a limitation! Anything non-linear you want to do, you can do either to the inputs or to the output! The "inputs" include both the signal and the IR, so you can pre-distort your IR, your signal both, or the convolved result, each with a different result.

@jamesperry1358

@@bobdeadbeef You can definitely run one in serial with a nonlinear effect. But preprocessing the IR with a nonlinear effect will still result in a linear convolution, just a different linear convolution.

@bobdeadbeef

​@@jamesperry1358 Right. What I'm trying to say is that convolution doesn't get in the way of anything nonlinear you'd like to do. So if you have compression C, and convolution f * g, you can do C(f) * g, f * C(g), or C(f * g). It's more of an advantage than a limitation. Nonlinear processes don't combine so nicely.

Cameron's relationship, with sound, it's convoluted.. especially when the wifey walks in and catches you messing around with the dryer.

The video was a quarter over and I was still laughing at the intro 🤣 Also, that thing with the chord sounded awesome! Thanks for the super interesting and useful content.

Clear, focused, useful, unique. This is great content. Subscribed.

Your videos have been real helpful!!! Keep it up

Excellent explanation! Very inspirational and educational. Thanks so much for your time and devotion to help us to understand this elusive and abstract concept. 👍

Thank you for this excellent video. I've been using convolution since it first appeared but you have reminded me that it really is a powerhouse for creativity 😊

When i do get big....im definitely gonna shout you out. I've only watched a handful of your videos but I knew to subscribe after the first one! I love how you give so much information in such little time! The genre of music I make is very different than yours but you are teaching me a lot!!! Much appreciated.

This is really great stuff! Very inspiring. Thanks Cameron!!!

This was incredibly inspiring. Game changer for sure. Thank you!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I bought this tonight and just went down the rabbite hole recording impulse files with my webcam...............This is the best plugin I've used in ages and ages!!!!! It's going to change my sound design life and I've been doing it for 20 years. Thanks!

This is by far your best video yet man keep doin what you’re doin🙏

Another wonderful lesson! Very entertaining and interesting! Thank you!

Defenitly the most useful and interesting sound design video I’ve seen in a while!

Convolution processing is one of my most favorite sound design techniques

Oh, this is right up my alley. I have this weird habit of just recording random cool-sounding stuff (well, cool to me, lol). I particularly like setting up my recorder for rain/storms. I tinkered with convolution ages ago but my computer couldn't keep up. This opens a whole realm of new possibilities today! Cheers!

Really interesting video, love your channel ! I bought the KHS Convolver as soon as it came out, awesome plugin ! Lot of sick impulses responses, like cabinets, glitches, filter formant.... And I love the fade in/out functions ! Cherry on the cake, really light on CPU :)

love ur videos man, every time i watch one it motivates me to open up ableton again. bless

I owned a convolution plugin but didn't know how to use it. Thank you so much for the tutorial , it really opens up a new portal to a whole new dimension

Wow, this video is awesome! 💙 Thank you 🙏

just to say that, at the moment for Convology XT is free and it has all these features. not to many impulse factory sets but it lets you use custom ones so that's awesome. I was watching along and playing around. great video as always. next step is learn how to make my own custom impulses, very into the glitch and synths sounds you got out of this today. you sir are on tap inspiration. hats off

Thanks, it's really inspiring!

Thank you Cameron for a great video!

My Favorites are: REVerence because it comes with Cubase^^ Audiothing Fog Convolver meldaproduction MPhatic, because it can restore the original dynamics. Voxengo Deconvolver, it is an easy and free tool to create your own response impulses with a sine-sweep or when you clap in a room, cave, wathever with a great reverb.

Thanks for introducing me to this technique. God Bless! 🙂🙏🏻❤

The fact that the plugin can handle convolution with such a long impulse response is impressive. Each source sample has to be multiplied with each response sample down the line, added to the output samples and then averaged in, which means that the number of operations on each output sample increases linearly with the length of the impulse response. Super cool that it can just chug through that without missing a beat.

Never have I seen sa design concept so accessable and so powerful at the same time. Thank you @Venus Theory for taking the time to explain this in detail.

I laughed my ass off. Then I paid close attention. Then I bough this plug-in. Fun will had. Much appreciated!!

truly when I first heard of convolution plugs/processes back in the day, my first thought was using chunks of a song as the impulse and running my track through that to find out what the interactions would produce.

convolver is a magical plugin. i wanted to make a video about it too but it's not easy to put the spectrum of applications into short words. you did a good job at that

Very interesting video...so much so that I followed the link and bought it. Thanks!

It's like a digital talkbox but you can change the shape of the talkbox or your "mouth" as much as you like. Super interesting

Your best video ever! Actually, the best sound design video ever! I've been meaning to play with doing convolution with non-spatial, non-filter impulse responses since forever. Well, since I learned about convolution almost 50 years ago as part of the EE side of my education. If I had realized it could be this interesting, I'd have jumped into it the first time I encountered a convolution reverb! To add to the irony, back then I was trying to design a digital synth/dedicated DAW. I was totally over my head, and it was too early for even the FM techniques I was trying (and I didn't know about Chowning's work, or I would have headed to Stanford and had a very different life!). Digital real-time convolution was FAR in the future. But in all that time, I assumed that playing with IRs this way would be weird (which can be good) but also not really controllable, in the way that FM can be hard to control, so I never put in the time. Embarrassingly wrong! So now I had the idea of using a table of convolutions and doing it wave table synthesis style, modifying the IR w/ time. Except-mathematically, you did that, when you put IR's in series! In fact, when I saw you do that, I thought, "why not pre-convolve them"-for about 200 ms, before I thought "what, and lose all that dynamic control?!!" You still might want to do that to save on CPU in some circumstances. Still, I think there's room for an actual wave-table approach, to allow for real-time modulation the way wave table synths do. So instead of just proceeding linearly through the variations from the 2nd IR, you can do things like sweep back and forth, or change the start point. The key here is that convolution is is commutative, associative, and distributive, so it doesn't matter which order we do them in, or whether we convolve each of two signals and add, or add two signals and convolve. So now you've tempted me to not just play around and make cool sounds, but maybe write my own plugin! EDIT: If anyone wants to steal the idea-by all means, go for it!

Love the intro! Experimenting with IRs has been on my list of stuff to check out for a while (it's a long list and I don't get round to most of it!). This was really informative, and has given me quite a few ideas, cheers.

Some great sound design ideas can be realized with convolution. You did a great overview.

Dear Sir, thank you kindly! This was inspiring and very educational!

This retroelectro producer loves anything that reminds me about reverb(s) and therefore I MONSTER LOVE this SUPERIOR tutorial. THANK YOU! Time to go shopping….

holy shit... all this time I had this amazing tool and never even knew! dude I cannot thank you enough!!

it's SO powerful.........Lord. It sounds SO good as you experiment. Thanks

Amazing demo and tutorial for convolution! I'll be trying it out on my next track for sure.

Always floored by this gentle soul... despite lack of actual magnetic nose ring!

Awesome! I was only familiarized with impulse responses in the context of recording guitars through VST Amplifiers. Convolution seems to be a very powerful technique for ambient music! Thanks for the video. I'm going to subscribe!

This is the best intro to a KZread video there ever was and will ever be.

this absolutely blew my mind

Thanks for explaining all this. I was wondering how the pulsating reverb was done on the track 'Surkin - Tiger Rhythm' (famously used in an iPhone commercial). Impulse Response explains it all

Now this is interesting and inspiring!

Loving these recent videos...

DAMN. I never really paid much attention to convolution, although I have always loved the sound, mainly from movie scores. But I am now truly inspired by the great depth of tone you get.

You are an inspiration!

Sheesh this was dope! Thanks for the education on convolution! Never thought of using it in this context.

Very nice video man.. love the intro :) Thanks for sharing I've been messing around with reversed convolution reverb effect on vocals recently.. mad effects.. render flip render flip.. take care 🙂

I love convolutions! Thanks for showing some good use cases. Any FIR ("linear phase") filter is also a convolution kernel. Very likely, the anti-aliasing filters in your DAC/ADC are also convolvers, although with shorter IRs. However, the main drawback is that they are, well, linear :-) Also, another fun tip: Using the "noise" and "piecewise linear" operators in the Nyquist prompt in Audacity, you can generate a large variety of interesting impulse responses to convolve with. Filtering the IRs is also sometimes interesting!

If anyone is interested in how Convolution Reverb is used in music, Colorbass producers use it to create a lot of their drop synths.

I love experimenting with kHz Convolver. If you're looking for a "dusty" piano that sounds like it was pulled from the rubble of a collapsed building, but all you have is a regular piano and the checkout page for a $99 Kontakt "broken piano" library, then here's what to do. Load a 1-second sample of (loud, dense) vinyl crackles and hiss into the convolver, adjust the range handles to taste, and play your piano through it. Dust will be served in large quantities. Add a pinch of pitch wobble and you can close all the Kontakt tabs in your browser and keep your money. Caution: you *may* spend the night trying out other kinds of noise; various machine-like rattles and electric hums are also great.

I love messing around with Kefir, which is a free 1 second convolution reverb. Feeding different material into the convolver results in some really interesting etherial sound design

Yup - had a big impulse response catalogue back in the day to make ADR and foley match the environment.

Used to have a Kawai K1r back in the day (1990) had a hardware convolution synth, could convolve any two sounds in the sound banks, great for making trance, rave etc ;) couldn't load samples though but just the sounds it made was enough back in the day :)

My favorite impulse response is the “Angel Hair on a Glockenspiel” sample from Makenoise

For all watching, if you have Studio One Pro, it comes with a convolution reverb called Open Air. It's awesome.

This is a really great and useful video, it makes me realise there's just a lot of sound design fundamentals I'm missing out on. What would you recommend for someone looking for a thorough, in depth resource that covers lots of different aspects of sound design? Like the equivalent of the book "Modern Recording Techniques" but for sound design. I've went through resources like "The 4 Element Synth" and "Syntorial" which, while I found very beneficial, really only cover basic subtractive synthesis.

Great Demonstration !

That intro and howdy segment beginning sent tf outta me

So I put smash mouth in a convultion reverb on a stock sytrus preset, it turned into an ambient pad. Added a drum break and a 808 and It's lowkey kinda fire.

A little bit of fun along the way. Yes.
