• Using Reverse Sounds as Transitions (08:20) - Reverse sounds are a great way to create interest in your compositions and productions. In this video Gary sows you how to reverse your sounds, and how these can work well between transitions in your arrangement.
• Using Extreme Time Stretching Techniques (07:24) - In this video, Gary shows you how to use the time stretching tools in Cubase, and how to perform extreme time stretching on the audio using the advanced algorithms available, to create interesting textured new sounds.
• Using VariAudio Pitch Shifting to Manipulate Your Audio (08:19) - Audio Pitch shifting is normally associated with correcting the pitch of your audio. But you can also use it in creative ways to manipulate your audio. In this video Gary shows you how he uses VariAudio to manipulate the pitching on drum beats.
• Using Saturation & Modulation Effects to Create New Sounds (10:07) - In this video, Gary shows you how he uses saturation effects to emphasize the harmonic detail in a sound, and how he further uses modulation effects to take the sounds even further.
• Creating Your Own Audio Stutter Effects (09:42) - Take a look at how to manually stutter edit your sounds using different editing tools and bypassing snapping, and really create interesting stuttered effects!
• Using LoopMash to Stutter & Loop & Scratching Your Audio (12:02) - In this video, we finish the series by showing how LoopMash works in stuttering, scratching and looping your sounds, and how you can use it to manipulate the audio. You can even use a MIDI controller to switch between the LoopMash effects, and also record automation changes to the LoopMash effects.
