A Breakdown of dBlue Glitch...

[SessileNomad]

hey guys i made a few tutorials discussing how to do the same effects in dBlue Glitch in FL, but without actually using dBlue

"why the hell would I want to learn that", you say?

well because
1. you get to learn new techniques to achieve certain effects.

2. Using the methods i show you, in my opinion, give you more control and a greater possibility for a really crazy sound(I'm targeting IDM/breakcore ppl here)

and 3. because i spent a shitload of time making these, the least you could do is pretend to learn something(do it for me!)

one final note b4 i link you, i apologize for my lack of knowledge on how to bitcrush things without using a bitcrushing vst, that one is a bit of a no brainer

I did not cover the modulator effect because that thing is basically just an oscillator, which FL has tons of

OK LETS GET CRACKIN!!

some comments would be nice, i worked hard for you guys

let me know what you think, or if you have other alternative ways of doing these effects, let me know(i like learning too)

peace out

I see this, but to me it's not a very big deal. For new people who have no idea and just got it, it may help. I just ended up playing around with dblue glitch until I eventually found out how it works. Thanks regardless.

It's not a complicated plug in...

meh its not meant for help people who have no clue how to use dblue, its meant for people to broaden their knowledge with effects

dblue is fairly limiting once you learn how to do the effects in your DAW, since they generally have more control and can create more drastic effects

perhaps i should have waited untill after the deathmatch to release this...

nah jk glad you liked it

Thanks, everytime I watch your FL videos, I learn something new. : D

[sorohanro]

Good vids, thanx for links :)

[Reaper93]

I always appreciate videos that teach me how to create sounds in FL Studio, especially those in high quality like these. While the results may be somewhat simple, it's always good to have things like this around.

[B0UNC3]

+1, great vids^^

[Darren-M]

to you who made this!

yes i agree it is extremely useful and worthy to be able to do as many effects as you can manually to change up your game, leven earning how to flange, stretch wave files, and granulate things completely gives you control.

great vids.

[Mystery-Moon-Pie-Aud]

You know, I commented without actually watching the videos. Let me try this out for a sec...

[Mystery-Moon-Pie-Aud]

I missed reading the first line, and thought you were doing a tutorial on how to use dblue glitch. I just saw all of the videos. Good tutorials. Nice video quality by the way.

i know i know. I'm just saying it's the best way. dBlue glitch is usually pretty easy to recgnize when being used... unless you really know how to program it.

yeah i still use it for a couple of things

have you ever heard of Effectrix?

I found in place of using the LFO creation as an automation clip you can save on clutter by placing the FL Peak controller within the channel of the instrument that has a knob/effect being tweaked. It has a built in LFO with pretty easy to use controls and some right click snap options. Then from there if more control is necessary automations can come into play to edit the peak controllers settings. Useful for gating and varied other uses you went over.

Also in the stretching video you show how to find all the automateable knobs on DB. You can alternatively twiddle a knob you want to automate, and in the Fruity Wrapper options that DB is opened within go to Plugin Options (the upper left hand corner drop down list) and simply choose under Parameters "Automate last tweaked parameter". In the case of some poorly labeled effects/synths that are not right click to automate compatible, this method is much quicker for isolating effects to automate since it crops the guess work out.

You cast of the shuffle a bit needlessly and purely focus on the drums (I get that a 3minute video can't encompass everything, but bare with me :P ). Increasing its repeat amount, and lowering the shuffle amount can make for a much more organized and subtle shuffle without purely hemorrhaging the original loop into computer garbling. Useful on synths/samples. Its a lot of fun on speech aswell.

Overall good videos, you speak clearly, the quality is high, their relatively concise, and for the average FL user is nearly guaranteed to teach them something new.

Indeed you can do that, but i only get that option with certain Vst softwares, dBlue Glitch does not give me that option, however nexus does, maybe it changes depending on if its an effect or instrument....

it is still just the same "effect" though, its just toned down a bit it, i have never tried shuffling with vocals, im gona have to give that a try sometime

i guess using the shuffler on vocals would be a pretty decent route to take, it could save a lot of time since you wouldnt have to slice each little shuffle that you wanted from the original vocal track, HOWEVER, it still seems like the computer would take more control that the artist

why thanks you :)

such a great tutorial for something introtuced and intended for renoise, that + render to selection + renoise effects commands = not having to have multiple instances just like the proz

im kind of confused by what your saying...

something introduced and intended for renoise...i did not know that about dBlue, if thats what your trying to say

idk what you mean by render to selection?

and the rest is jive about renoise commands, which actually are part of the reason i dont use renoise, i dont feel like memorizing a bunch of commands to pull off effects, but meh w/e

multiple instances of what? dBlue? yeah i used to have to do that a lot, thats why i taught myself how to do that same stuff w/o dBlue :)

get back to me on what you mean exactly, por favor....

yes, on the renoise forum, and venetian snares logged on and praised it

idk what you mean by render to selection?

its a renoise feature, make a selection and render, tweak a knob and render again

and the rest is jive about renoise commands, which actually are part of the reason i dont use renoise, i dont feel like memorizing a bunch of commands to pull off effects, but meh w/e

not that hard to remember, never need to reference the tutorial

multiple instances of what? dBlue? yeah i used to have to do that a lot, thats why i taught myself how to do that same stuff w/o dBlue :)

yes, multiple instances of glitch, check out his music

interesting songs, most of them seem to take dblue a bit light, dont you think?

Good tuts, the automations do allow for more finite control, but most of all it teaches people what the program is really doing. Alot of what dBlue_Glitch does is simple to accomplish and sounds cleaner when you do it yourself. Good job.

well all of this is going to be "how much time are you willing to put into tweaking your sounds"

dBlue can do an ok job, but there are things that FL has WAAAY over dBlue's head, but dBlue has some stuff over FL

a balance of both is going to be the best, as it is with most things...

[RandomJester]

These videos were very helpful for me, I'm a relitively new user and I wanted to get some glitch effects and used Dblue at first. I'm definitely glad I found these though hand now know how to control things a little more myself. So thanks muchly SessileNomad
