XLN Audio XO | Trap Producer Workflow | God Mode For Drums? 🥁

- čas přidán 8. 04. 2019
- Today marks the end of struggle drum selection. XO means a lot of things, but today it will kiss the game good bye.
I'll attempt to open one of pandoras boxes, by showing you how easy it is to curate your drums kits based on your favorite single shots. The implications of this workflow is insane. The time you will save, the sounds you will recover, and the other infinity stones this offers...may make this "worth it". But try it for yourself...first.

Im definitely purchasing this right now for my boyfriend. His birthday gift!! 🙌🏾
legendary
How sweet, you should teach my girl a thing or two :-D
I got it guys!!! I’m going to give it to him today
@@VeeLuxeLive hope he loved it!!!
Call me 🤙 😂
This is one of the greatest vst reviews I’ve ever seen 👍🏾. I already own xo but this clarified a lot of the features for me.
“For all my people that chop things up… Madonna 80s snare gated reverb… you forgot What folder it’s in” HAHAHAHAH been doing that for two decades lol, I musta chopped up a dozen 80s gated reverb snares, called em something like “Howard Jones DOOSH b” then promptly lost them 😆
I've been looking for something like this for so long. It's been working beautifully so far.
Excellent video my man, covered all the necessary points with enough detail. And that little gem about creating harmonic relationships between drum sounds was a mind blower. Thank you!
This is a fresh and unique take. Love that you’re thinking about the process.
Man, much respect to XLN for paying attention to the users.
I want this and I'll be watching it like a hawk. It would take me a good hour to do what you achieved in minutes. The workflow... omg... It's so worth the money once I have it. That groove is hurting my soul it's got so much groove.
Bro I just downloaded the trial this plugin is truly amazing
Appreciate you for coming out the gate with the get the demo first. 👏🏾 so true. I'm about that demo life rn
Dude i just want to say you're one of the better music production fellas on the tube, you do the review-thing right. it doesn't sound like a sales pitch, its a genuine, 'does this do something new' and - even better - channels it through your own personal workflow.
ive bought a half dozen things from your reccos and i think thats 3x more than any from channels that are like 10X bigger than yours.
Woah! MG the amount of technology is overwhelming, I guess we have to get used to this workflow. Thank you for this vid 🙏🏽🔥
This is the best plugin I purchased over the last 5 years. Brilliant.
Best review I've seen on this. Thank you MG. I'm going to try it out for the 10 day trial. If I buy it I'll use the link you provided for sure brother.
💪
Thank you. Just thank you. Got it and it blew my mind.
Bruh I hold your opinion in regards to things like this HIGH! You can't expect me NOT to catch the gas. If MG likes it, I'm buying. 🤣
If MG likes it, I'm buying. 2 thanks for the info nice!
$179 price tag motivated me to better organize my library samples.
TheChosenOne right! I’m watching and waiting for a $200 feature 🤣
It goes on sale every year, its on sale for now
joint was on sale so I scooped... this revisiting of your videi is of high value! Salute!
back on the grind! Best video covering this on YT.
excellent description and break down as usual bout to download now
O My God The Demo Video For This is Crazzzzy
MG, there isn’t a more real intelligent, and generous producer on you tube than you.
🙏🙏🙏
Beast!! slept on this plug!!
I’m downloading the demo soon as I get off work. This is fire
Fr fr
Early morning catchups. I was KOd last night lol. Salute as always brother.
Inspiring plugin for sure. Just started using it. It makes sense to render stems for mix but the whole beat render sounds so much better for some reason
Great video 💪🏼
What a review. Thanks MG.
🙏🙏
Great video as always!
What a workflow booster. Checking out the demo.
Its fly 🛸
Just got this ish at half price!!! it's mindblowing. Won't ever have a problem designing a legit beat again.
This plugin is insane, My jaw dropped
Thanks M.G! Was hoping you would do this.
solid workflow, ty!
Your making my mad scientist producer brain tick in a good way
😅
So this is basically UVI Drum Designer + Atlas. Not a bad combo, I do wish we had more than one bar for patterns like with UVI. And searching through sounds looks friendlier with Atlas. But the XO workflow is great. I'm going to check it out today. Thanks MG.
Thank you for the video; I learned more from you than any other overview!
Appreciate it!
@@MGTheFuture Is there automation for pitch, tone, etc?
You're a smart man... I subbed.
Great advice in the intro. Looks awesome, just can't afford it right now.
INSANE plugin !!!!!!!
THANK YOU!!!
such a great video man!!! thanks so much for doing this. I have a question about dragging and dropping into my DAW. Is there a way to do this without creating duplicates in an export folder every single time I do this? Best,
James
Sorry for the long comment but here it goes: I've been wondering lately why working with Maschine doesn't inspire me as much anymore and I think this video helps tease out the last bits I was having trouble articulating. The reality is that a lot of what made Maschine special 10 years ago no longer applies to 2019 (and beyond). We don't need tactile control over chopping/editing samples and drum loops because we have Serato Sample to do all that in one click. We don't need a dedicated groove sequencer because most DAW's have caught up and handle sequencing much better now. And now we don't need deep file system and library organization because the AI in XO/Atlas lets us just use our ears to quickly find what we are looking for, regardless of the file's name or metadata...this stuff actually just completely turns the old file system hierarchy on its head and looks at searching in an entirely new way.
I gotta say, this is causing a real kind of existential crisis for me! I've been married to Maschine's workflow for so long and designed so much of my core process around it that it's almost become an instrument of its own. If XO was introduced at a $99 intro. price point, I honestly would've impulse bought it tonight and started integrating right away. $180 is just a bit too far out of reach right now! Native Instruments better get on the damn horse and start leveling up soon cause there is just way too much cool stuff out here!
I took the time to organise my presets properly (Preset Wizard to import plugin presets as nksf presets and generate images for them) and I'm using Maschine a lot more again now because it's so much quicker to find and tweak a preset. Knobs > dragging things with your mouse
Man your comment possesses so much truth. Gotta say this is one comment i'm definitely going to remember! Hope you're getting inspired bro!
@@lyteyearz5810 samee
Nice work on the vid.
Game Changer/Time Saver. Good Looks Fam #KeepBangin
I laughed so hard at 2:37 that I almost pulled my wallet and bought the plugin, but I found out right in time I can not afford it. Still a golden moment Sir.
I know compared to other programs it could be seen as expensive but if you really think about it that is super inexpensive for what we get. The amount put into programs is took countless hours to create. Completely worth it. I own every program out there for creating drums and this just creates great results faster than anything else. Worth every penny.
That's a fking lifesaving plugin! Saves so much time dude, thanks for sharing your insights - super helpful! P.S. subbed
as always. gems
Brilliant video mate subscribed
Thanks
This is dope. I'll try out the demo first
Amazing VST !!!!
MG salute.
This is a game changer
Just saw this in my email via PB and thought, XLN so MG gon probably touch on this lol so quick
And on sale right now 89 on plugin boutique
Wow!
This is fire definitely going to demo it soon.
🌊🌊🌊
Best video out on xo period
🙏🙏🙏
Holy crap.... after watching more. I need this thing. I may have to take out a loan haha.
How’d I suffer through 5 annoying slash useless videos on this thang trying to suss if it was any use when I already have Atala before finding this MGTF back catalogue DIAMOND, God BLESS 🙏
Grrreat tutorial, basics and beyond with a real world workflow and a spotlight on sample (library) 'curation'. It is so tempting to load, say, 100+ Gb into XO's sample 'cloud' but (a) at some point performance suffers (b) outside genre samples rarely add value unless it is a lucky accident. I like your themed approach in which you only select the libraries compatible with the project you want to work on, it also fixes/prevents a and b. To enable a lucky accident/quasi-serendipity you could include 1 or 2 outside genres from other libraries so you might stumble upon something _phresh_! I found out quickly it is pretty easy to drag the XO sequenced midi and the 8 processed samples (via Processed kit button) into an Ableton drumrack which for me is a best of both worlds scenario. I still have to dig a little deeper in XO but I already found myself validated into having purchased a pretty sizable collection of sample libraries; without tools like XO or ADSR sample manager 99,99% of your sample collection will just sit there eating up hard drive space. I say validated but having an extensive sample collection and a tool like XO make you realize that there is so much overlap in single shots you might have well settled for 50 or so sample collections. Probably even a lot less than 50... For those interested in buying XO: XLN often (enough) runs promos like 'Black Friday' and Xmas in which the price of XO is seriously lowered, that's what I do for all plugins I covet, get myself on the relevant mailing list and wait for the perfect opportunity! Cheers!
Thanks for the review!. Everything is so well thought, however, only two patterns?... I hope they update it at some stage making it possible to work on more than 2 patterns at a time
$180 is a fuckin steal 🤯🤯 thanks for hipping me to this MG
I knew you would pick this up immediately. Great workflow tool. It's a bit pricey so I'll wait for the sale. The new Loopcloud app is free and does thing that come close to this.
The new Loopcloud is amazing, absolutely amazing. But it doesn't do what this does they're completely different. Also ADSR Sample Manager has been updated and is free which is cool because it got a random option. But it's random not an algo based on your current selection and there is no sequencer and midi folder export which makes XO nutty.
XO combined with Superior drummer 3 is bananas!
Super Spice
@@MGTheFuture -- are there workflow applications desirable having XO combined with XLN Audio Addictive Drums? Could you give your opinion with such a combination...or applications
Great video mate. Used your workflow idea for exporting kits and its gold dust.
Thank you for the informative video .I have had this a couple of days .I have other drum applications which are good .This has a smoother work flow .The link pattern sequencer .A,B and AAAB is a little limited I think .To make longer drum sequences could be better like the Sugarbytes Drum computer .Quite pleased nonetheless !
😲 MG perdon my French but what that fuuuck is this wizardry ? Holy smoke 🤯💨
🛸👽
Hey there, a very nice explanation
Now im concerning something on Playground Mode on the Beat Combiner. Can you actually save a pattern there or it is all "pre" "set" that you cannot change the pattern at all?
Thanks!
You can save patterns with the kits
You really broke it down... Fire!
🙏
just got demo bro bout to buy also bro it works with hits to if you got gits in in your kit folder you add thanks mg good stuff
💪💪
I love it.. do 1 on sublab and scaler 2 please.
Cool video man, XO is great! What's the picture in the background? looks like my city Lisbon - Portugal.
Wassam MG! It doesn't show you the key of the drums but from what I saw from another vid is that the 'space' from left to right is essentially the frequency spectrum and from up to down its tone/length. When filtering by category (kick, snare, etc.) you can then choose the frequency range and pick with your ears what tonally sounds good. That's the real game changer for me, picking sounds that has their own space on the frequency spectrum to avoid headaches later in the mixing phase. Adding a key analysis to streamline this even further would be super dope! I consider this like the Scaler of drums Thanks for the vid btw!
Good info
Just use a tuner plugin
Ho messo like al minuto 3:16. Che genuità.
Per quanto riguarda il software invece, sarà stato ideato da qualcuno "affetto" di sinestesia.
Sentire i colori. Vedere i suoni. Geniale.
You said and did a real great job on this. Can this do percussion also or different percussion grooves?
Just single shots it seems
Yo, I am in beware mode. The way you set it off. Lol
Plugin looks crazy thanks!
Can you export the beat you made as individual wav files?
final got mine just need to learn the sequencer quirks since I am not into pre fab beats .. I am into creating my own beats with my own sounds or selected fav sounds
just learned it and i pair this with mpc 2.10.1 and my mpc studio mk2 controller and the two are great together
this is pretty cool bcuz i really hate going thru a 1000 drum kits. i just make templates that's ready 2 go in FL Studio. lol thanks
Yeah with all the free samples and cheap ones from cymatics, etc....so many samples folders. I don't then use them because of how daunting it is to go through the collection. So this may be a worthy investment somewhere down the line.
MG i gotta stop watching your videos bro. My pockets can't take it. Lol. Great video. I think i will wait this out until black friday, but definitely on my wish list. Peace.
Great review. It's only pricey if you think it's not worth it. If not, then of course it's too much. On the other hand, if it makes you more creative, if it gets you to beats and tracks faster and more intuitively, then $180 is PERFECT. It all depends on HOW MUCH IT HELPS YOU. I'm demoing it right now, and it's blowing my mind, and I WILL somehow find the 180 quid in 9 days. Cheers.
Hey man I have one more question if you don't mind does this have a choke cut off like machine 2 software has a choke group so when you play a sound let's say an 808 that has a long tail but then you hit a snare or a clap afterwards it cuts off the 808 so it doesn't distort The Clapper or snare do you know if it has a choke cut off like that thanks bro
Great video brother. I will totally buy it if they had the key detection like Sononym for example. Still a good beast though
You just hum the thing and you get the key, even also all possible keys for that sample. Ex : ACDEG can be key of C major, A minor, E minor, D minor,
Bruh this is fire Bruh. Thanks
🙏
Does anyone know if I can use this to trigger it's sequences to other drum machines like battery? I've been looking everywhere for info but can't seem to find any info
Just here to say that MG could sell you a rock just by talking about it.
True that we need a little bit more. 😂 sublab is a good too use too.
Thank you for this incredible video !
Quick question : I am facing a problem with xo : when i export processed samples (with effects applied in xo, for exemple filters or pitch correction), the volume of the exported samples never matches the volume directly heard from XO (from output busses), even with the differents normalization settings. This is very annoying as I usually tweak the sounds and mix them within XO before exporting them. I was wondering if you came across this issue and if you found a way to correct it ?
Thank you if you take time to answer :)
I have the mini dots(repeater), but I can't seem to find the triples..
I don't have that small menu.
yep , it's great
🔥🔥🔥
Saauuuuucccceeeee!
I've heard that thing about tuning kicks to the third and snares to the fifth before. I think shit sounds fine with drums on the first or on "C0" though unless the particular drum is very tonal like some snares or a timpani drum.
Never Mind Bro You Gave The Answer at 9:38 Awesome Thanks Ya This Drum Plugin is a Beast O Ya i Figured Out How To Us it / Trigger it With Maschine MK3 Thanks
This is an incredible too makes for fast workflow no matter what genre of music u make wow! But 200$ :/ imma save for might cop it next month
Can it hook to a midi controller to use each pad for the drum sounds individually
looks super dope! i just can't justify another toy right now 😂
👀😭
Same here.... :( I have RC20 and Addictive Keys Studio Grand. Love their stuff... but I just can't afford this right now. Looks really awesome though.
I do like this program but I will wait for the scale detection. Also, the price reduction.
Now I can easily sort through my recycled wavsupply kits and quickly lay down a pattern for my 1 bar Nick Mira loops
Yasss 🤗
Yooooo
🌶
Hey MG I have XO and I really like it too. I haven't figured out how to make it cycle through my huge sample library on a beat I've created or one of the factory patterns. By clicking the circles on the bottom right or the arrow next to the circle on the left side you can only cycle through 15 sample swaps. How do I make it keep going and try out hundreds of swaps of my user samples. I know about the Beat and Sample Combiner modes and the dice randomizers there but that's not what I'm talking about. I just want to keep clicking and hear more of my samples randomizing inside the pattern not just 15. Can you help me?
It doesnt. The heat map isnt that big. You gotta sub in new sounds further away from the origin
Hello there, I'm doing orchestration and writing with what I have. Is this just for producers or can film, documentary, short clips be used with XLN Audio XO?
So far only single shot drum sounds are properly sorted. So percussion yes
