Transcript
A lot of producers seem to misunderstand granular effects. So today I'm going to show you a bunch of ways to use them in context to clear up any confusion. Five plugins in context sounding good. Granular. That's the video portal. Stick it on a pad. You know this is a thing right? Some people think granular is too much. This is an example where granular is being too much, but we're playing to that strength by minimally layering other sounds with it to just make the pad that's being run through portal do pretty much all the heavy lifting for the whole track.
The next example is motion fractal running some drums through it. You can make a fill using granular effects. Bypass it and then unbypass it for a bar at the end of like an eight bar section. And then bypass it again. [Music] Oh, well, there's another thing you can do with drums as well, just as a side bonus. Okay. 44 kick techno vibes. Send the kick to a bus with a granular effect and then play with side chaining to the original and you've got a texture layer.
Just super easy. [Music] Switch your delay out for a granular equivalent like cheat codes bubble grain and then you just get a cooler version of a delay. This almost sounds like something from the Matrix. Grain delay. Grain delay. Ableton Live has one. It's pretty great. Use the Ableton Live one, but by cheat code still. We'll cut that. Keep it in. But the other thing you can do with cheat code. Little side hack thing here as well.
Just stick it on some Foley and hit the randomize button. People might be annoyed to hear me say that. My critic, my arch nemesis from the previous video. Ear candy. Yeah, ear candy. Automatic ear candy. Yeah, automatic ear candy. Next is we've got a dry vocal. Just duplicate the vocal onto a separate track. And then we can side chain it to the original again, a bit like we did with the kick. [Applause] play with auto panning it.
So you know the crazy granular moving left and right [Music] or chorus or extra effects on it. So we we just have level of control over this parallel layer. [Music] There's another thing I like. Dial it up. Go crazy. Reample it. Chop bits out that you like. Make samples out of it. Reverse it. Stick it in a sampler. Stick it in a blender. All that stuff. And the final thing, probably one of my favorite things actually, granular effect on your master bus for the outro.
I like doing this intro also works. Start with the mix completely dry. And then as the outro progresses, turn the wet knob up on the granular. And then you're kind of freezing your outro slowly into this block of grains. And then you bring just the master volume down as that's happening. And you create this cool thing, which they'll hear now.
