As someone with minimal music theory I can highly recommend this plugin, for the price it is absolutely unbeatable.

100% I agree

Thrilled to have discovered your channel! Your review of Scaler 2 has certainly got me excited about the composing and performing power of this software. As a guitarist, I don’t have any keyboard chops and have minimal music theory. This software feels like a music teacher AND a session player in one! Wow, will be adding this to my toolbox.

Great reaction Ave ,what caught my attention is that Midi capture feature is a complete game changer!

Damn bro ... i just started making beats again 2 weeks ago using reason and it seems like your one of the most valuable people to be following since you review these plugins ... thanks

Brilliant video and improvements in Audio detection happening as we speak plus some guitarist focussed features inbound! Thanks for Vid!!!

The beautiful feature about this software, and others like it.. Yeah some might use it as a crutch, but it can an incredible teaching tool.

Big respect. Made a lot of tight beats. Wanted to see if I could get more out of the tool and landed here. You always come with the heat!

Picked up Captain Chords 2 weeks ago, and I got scaler 2 this week. I'm blown away by both plugins. I'm new to producing in the last month or so and they have both helped me immensely to get my ideas down quick.

Ave Mcree I agree with this video. I have to keep checking out your videos. Your musical knowledge is where I'm trying to get too. Keep up the good work Brotha..... Artee Jess Right Smith

Ave can I just say watching your background change/upgrade overtime is inspiring. Sub count is climbing. Inspiring. P.S. It may not be intentional but this angle where your looking at the screen actually makes it in video seem like you are indeed looking at the screen with me. lol My thoughts. Stay Blessed.

I brought it as soon as I got it. the notice... I was early with V1. i love Plugin Boutique

This is a big jump in functionality. I will def be getting the upgrade.

the way you hear TRAPTENDO lit bro channel is great

u always give the best scaler updates i think this upgrade is dope thanks ave #Scaler2

Another great review. Thank you broski 🙏🏼

I purchased it when it came out, but I haven’t rocked it out yet. The charger to My MacBook isn’t working for some reason. But I’m happy you made this video to keep Me motivated.

love your content broskii, very honest

Buying this asap! big up!

I like you, Ave. And I like your review. Thanks for making this.

Was gonna buy this tomorrow but I'm heading to PB right now!

great demo bro!

Dope update fosho!!!!!!!

Insane. Nice review

This is how I felt when I got Decoda! These plugins change everything Edit: This does much more than Decoda

Great review bro

I'd like to see the midi patterns within scaler as well.... like being able to bring in audio, have it analyzed and be able to have the chords in their original duration, instead of just being triggered or laid out with each note being the same length. Kinda like a mix of Ezkeys and decoda.

Great review. Time to upgrade.

I knew you was going to do a review on Scaler 2. I got the free upgrade, so I can't wait to play with it. Thanks for the review AVE 👍.

really dope and helpful! thank you

That performance mode is dope

Plugin is so so dope. Only issue is the audio detection is hit or miss but other than that its a beast!

dope tutorial thx broski

Dope, gotta check it out 🙌🏼

I have a question. At 0:50 the file name is formatted just like the file name of the sample used in Jesus is The One produced by Kenny Beats. Is that how that company names their files, or is that from some detection software? Just curious, thanks!

Might as well go ahead and do a review on backbone drum resynthesizer by steinberg. Curious to see how they did with this one. Dope video!

🔥🔥🔥Fire omg

Studio One and Melodyne 5 is butter for chord detection, and more. I do hip hop/rnb. Not a piano player, but learned basic theory/playing chords in school. I would recommend learning basic/chords. Sprinkle that in with using scaler, programming via the mouse etc. When you are doing tracks for videos or at a studio what are you going to do when you don't have access to loops or scaler?

Literally just coped this at 3am lol. Soon as I seen this video title I had to.

Just got up on this software and wow

i love scaler 2 but im lost between scaler 2 and captain chords 5.... any idea which is better? (specifically for house and jazz genere)

Thanks for the review. I'm definitely going to upgrade from Scaler 1 in the future :)

Hey, bro, you should do a video expanding on the fretboard guitar chords because I've never played guitar myself and I hate programming guitar chords for that reason because I know it's not realistic

I wouldn't call that real feeling. Maybe I'm just too old school, but this seems to me like auto tune for people who want to imagine themselves as keyboard artists, or like online sex, where one can see it and hear it, but only imagine how it actually feels. It cannot replace the fun and accomplishment, both physical and spiritual, out of actually learning to play an instrument, and will make every user sound like every other user. To paraphrase the animated character Syndrome, "I'll sell my inventions, everyone can be super, and when everyone's super, no one will be."

@TehFinalBrick I get what you're saying, but how can one make music without understanding the nuances? It is the nuance that makes it music, the little spontaneous quirks, mistakes, and other non-uniformities peculiar to each performer, the choice of note sequences chords and sounds from a performance as musicians react and interact with each other and the listener, the sum total of unique attributes that enables you to tell the difference between say Clifford Brown and Freddie Hubbard, or Art Tatum and Oscar Peterson. Maybe in these modern times, clipping someone elses' nuances, reordering them, then claiming to make music is now valid because it can generate money, but it is for me a bit of a stretch. Again, maybe I'm just old.

Can you have Scaler 2 play through another instrument in Ableton instead of the internal ones? Edit: Never mind. Helps to RTFM. 🙃

My Goal is to build chords off of a melody idea I may have. Will scaler be cable of doing this by simply dragging the midi into scaler?

I tried the demo of scaler 1 and didn’t like it much. I have the Mixed in Key Captains plug ins so use them when I need some ideas. Scaler 2 looks to be much improved. Some very handy features for us non musicians. Thanks for the demo! Informative as always.

Thanks for saving me some money; No Midi Pack Necessary:)

Understand the sentiment but...... Years ago I used session musicians for drums and a strings part, I played guitar and piano. Was it expected that I should be able to play the drums and string parts, no of course not. Many song writers are not profeciant enough players to play any of the parts on a proffessional track. Just my 2 cents.

Can it import your own plugins/instruments like Captain Plugins?
