Convolution: The Secret Weapon Of Sound Design

that intro is gold

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

For neat! I recently wrote some real-time convolutional reverb code for a game project. I figured people must be using this all the time to mix random sounds. Apparently yes, and this gave me a bunch of new ideas to implement. :) Question though: in the software you showed, what does "tone" and "feedback" do exactly? Not exactly sure what I was hearing when you adjusted those.

Dayum, had no idea

You just leveled up my pads. Thanks Dollar Shadow VPN McMustache 😂

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.

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

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

Wow, this video is awesome! 💙 Thank you 🙏

You've whetted my appetite for something I've deliberately ignored for years because I didn't understand it and want to invest time learning it. Lazy! 😬

Convoluted ReverB

Thank you for the amsr 🥴

Wow! This audio processing tool is a ((to me) slightly hidden) gem! 😃

Also, it’s cool to see His Mustachesty in action capturing some everyday-notch IR’s 🤩

Thanks, Camenus 🤗

Venus theory! I am searching for a recipe for creating tape warble using a chain of basic modulation FX like vibrato or chorus or phasers and flangers, but my searching is coming up empty. Basically I'm trying to replicate the old VHS variable pitch shifts that occur. So far I've had only some luck on my own with mixing a couple vibratos together. Can't quite get it right. Do you have any tips or can point me to a video where you cover this? One thing I did that worked a bit was running a wide vibrato into a soft auto tune that shifts by semitones but it only worked well for single notes.

Wokeahontas is crazy I really can't believe you said that 😭👎🏿

is it possibel to use this KHS Convolver pluing in more them one computer ate the same time? is it like a license type of thing?

This could be used with sidechain…

I'm not a buckaroony, you abysmal musical seinfeld.

You are so cool.

Really glad I watched this video.

Become one with the reverb

The teensy has USB pads on the back, so you can use a USB-B on your pcb and connect it with pogo pins. I think its more like 1000 times faster rather than 40! You can get buttons that don't click but they tend to have a longer throw with a springy feel, another option is molded silicone buttons (like adafruit trellis) they have carbon on the bottom that shorts traces. (you can put LEDs under them as well) imagine tiny MPC pads.

How is it vs Ableton's Hybrid reverb?

My new Guru! 🙏🏽

Thanks, it's really inspiring!

DANG THIS IS SO COOL

Hey Venus, off topic of the video but just curious. Do you happen to write music for tv shows? Every sound example you use in your vids sounds like it be good on a series with some intense scenes. Love your videos man. Keep up the good work 🤘🏻

Hi there I've been using convolution verb for a while now and i was wondering. Is it ok to get the IR of the song you're working on and then add it to the final mixing blend for more context. It's like the sound is living in his own boundaries. or am i just a fool ? :) great video on a great tool btw !

is there a convolution reverb that has an envelope follower triggered or midi triggered round robins of various IR's , or have a LFO sweep through wavetable IR's, to make the space/texture morph.... ?

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

Awesome video! I'm now gonna go play with Reverberate 3 as it's actually a reverb I've ignored instead going straight for Seventh Heaven. Seems I can use it for way more than just reverb. Cheers man! :)

I am the reverb. I am the Woke'd LMAO - I'm going back to sleep. Ogo - no sample my dudes

Incredible video, thank you! So how do you differentiate between using an IR for timbre vs for timing? For example to make hi hats more metallic, you’d use something that has a similar ADSR envelope to the hi hat (which therefore barely alters its shape), such as a mug, like you did, but since it has a different EQ shape (more highs/resonance) THAT’S what gets printed onto the hi hats?
But you wouldn’t use a mug hit as the IR to make a long release synth ‘more metallic’ right? Because it would significantly alter the ADSR? Unless you wanted that of course :) I’m just trying to understand if you can set it to focus on only timbre / only timing, or if it always just processes both?
I appreciate you reading this far🤍 need to have a play with this.
What an amazing passion we all share:)

This guy'.is the DAW Albert Einstein

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

Your voice combined with your communication style and skills is like injecting lasagna into my nervous system.

You always have a creative “approach”.
Very nice.

Hey I LOVE your videos!! Your SO FUNNY!! And I also love the topics you choose!! So very insightful and fun!! Just a quick question off topic (I hope you don’t mind) what camera are you using to get that wonderful bokeh effect? Thanks again for all the amazing content...

Very useful information! Thanks 🙏

Awesome video, cool subject, I learned plenty, and you bet I’m inspired to make something (as always Cameron!)

We live inside a reverb!

This is completely off subject, and maybe you've answered it somewhere before, but what sort of camera do you use? I absolutely love the visual style of your videos, and I'm always distracted trying to figure out what you use to achieve this look.

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.

Thanks for the link and discount code! Love the channel :)

funny fucker
