loved this deepdive. Your way of explaining and demonstrating how this works is super helpful. so thankyou! those sounds you got at 18/19 minutes was very interesting.

Really impressive video, thanks for the information. It is starting to make a lot of sense now. I especially loved the 'childrens playground' sounds when you first generated it. Those little bleeps and bloops and schloops were wonderful! All the best to you!

I'm an AFX fanboy from year dot. I also make tracks at home, albeit on hardware. Time for some sacrilege.. I had a dream this morning, when falling asleep to this vid, that I was chatting to an old DJ buddy and I was like - well didn't Aphex just make up his own glitch anyway? I don't think I'd use it! But then It kicked out a jam of It Takes Two (Rob Base version) with a cool backing from Ashley's Roachclip and I liked that. But it was doing a more Melodyne thing, this seems a bit too chaotic - but hey for free I can't complain. Just need to get a pc now 🤖 It was nice watching you walk through it though, and getting your impressions of it through proper speakers and making sense of the technical wording, thanks.

Hi Spherical, I am happy you got some benefit from the video :) It is a mad tool, and with the right source and target material you could, I'm sure, produce something which sounds less chaotic than the sounds in the video. I might look at doing another video around a more stable sounding output. Time for a PC!

Best plug-in demo I’ve seen in ages, thank you. I must harness these powers and I’m wondering how to get this bad boy to run on a 2021 MacBookPro. It just keeps quitting before I can finish loading any sounds. If I have to I’ll install more RAM or whatever it takes.

My pleasure! I would first look at the files you're loading in, what format and quality are they? All the same 44.1kHz 16-bit? I'm not sure how sturdy SB is at handling a tonne of different sample rates etc.. There might also be length limits I've not encountered, so maybe make sure you're loading smaller files in to the brain? More RAM, based on what you've said, probably wouldn't make any difference. It's more likely SB can't handle the files you're using. I hope some of that helps!

Definitely. I’ll try smaller files. Also: I rip all of my samples on Audio Hijack and now that you mentioned this I’m seeing they’re all MP3 files at 256 Kbps. I can change them to WAV at 16-bit. Also Audio Hijack’s default sample rate is “automatic” whatever that actually means but I’ll manually set it to 44.1 kHz.

@@Rumblemach - Friendly advice...... Digital Audio 101: Never record/rip to MP3. Yes you can convert them to WAV after, but in terms of audio data they'll still be horribly compressed.

still trying to get a usable sound. any tips? maybe the window shape used makes a difference, flat top maybe my fav so far. quite difficult to not get a too weird sound so far but i wanna keep trying because i wanna make a dirty version of a song. this sounds like a great way but hard to keep under control even if i increase the closeness to the original sample.

@cinningbao

Жыл бұрын

that all depends on what you mean by usable! only a very small part of what this machine makes might resemble the target sound, huge part of it is the samples you use in the brain. since i have no idea of your material i can only suggest some broad approaches; why not chuck your target material in an AI stem extractor, then chop up those stems and put them in the brain - that output wouldn't be so different from the target. or you could try using super simple waveforms and noise in the brain, turn on autotune and let samplebrain tune the simple waveforms to your target. hope some of that helps! sometimes you gotta think sideways :)

@@cinningbao thanks so much. i got so many harsh frequencies like white noise and loud which made it not so useable for my purpose. I wanted to flavour the target sound a bit but even at 100% target setting I get quite a different sound (even when i feed the brain with the target sound). I have experimented with feeding a lot to the brain then a little step by step but no luck so far.

Other than going through the process step by step (load audio files into brain, hit regenerate, load audio file into target, hit regenerate, hit play) it's difficult for me to know what's going wrong. One thing I would say is don't forget to hit Regenerate anytime you load a file into the brain or the target.

How do you export the file as a WAV?

@cinningbao

Жыл бұрын

Hi, I don't think there is "process the target file from beginning to end and output the audio to a file" function unfortunately. The best you can do is to hit record, enter filename and location and then hit Save. Then, when you hit record again a file is created in the folder and until you hit stop, all the output is recorded. (2 mono files are created, one for the left, and one for the right) There are a couple of other quirks with the recording output function I will likely report so the functionality might change. Hope that helps!
