in this video i'm checking out the reflekt audio holiday plugin i'm actually going to
put together a bit of a beat using a few instances of this free vst plugin along with the free 808
and probably some other free plugins as well now reflect audio holiday is a free vst plugin
and it's another collaboration between taki brano and reflekt audio and they've put together
some interesting and fun vsts in the past so i'm really looking forward to diving in and
checking this one out i'm pretty sure they're only allowing like 100 downloads per day right
now so you want to head over to their website to see if you can grab it today for yourself
i'm zane welcome to audio tech tv where it's my goal to help you conquer the tech so you can
unleash your creativity and i do this by providing easy to follow audio tech tips tutorials and
reviews now i've included a link to the reflekt audio holiday plugin on their website so
check down in the description for that if you want to grab this for yourself but right now
let's give it a bit of a listen and then we'll get into that beat that i'm going to create
as you can hear reflekt audio holiday is a pretty fun free vst plugin you get a lot
of interesting percussive sounds and some other sound effects that you can blend into your tracks
to create something different there's actually 55 sounds with multiple takes of each sound so
it uses round robins to randomize it and make it sound a little more natural so let's take this
ribbon curl sound that i have loaded up here and i want to add it to a bit of a drum beat and we'll
see if we can make this drum beat sound a little more interesting so here's what the beat sounds
like on its own and i'm just using the micro drum sampler it's the free plugin that's included with
tracktion waveform free and i have the micro 808 preset loaded up so here's the drum beat i'm using
so it's pretty basic i actually have the free baby comeback delay plugin loaded on
there as well just to kind of create an echo sound effect to it i kind of like the sound of that now
let's play both of these back together i'm also going to use the free
izotope vinyl plugin on the master track just to kind of create some saturation
and again some more interest so let's hear what this sounds like together now
so you can hear every time that it plays it's a little bit different and that's the round robin's
in there let's just listen to it on its own now just so you can hear what that is i'm playing
and i do have an instance of baby come back again that free delay plugin loaded on after it so
just to kind of keep that echo sound that the drum beat has as well so it sounds like it's
in the same space so now i want to add another instance of the holiday plugin
and this time you can see it's the small cooking pot and let's just listen to what that sounds
like on its own and again i have some effects on i have the magic switch which is a free chorus and
the saturation knob so what i'm going to do is just disable both of those so you can hear
what this sounds like on its own so i'm just adding that to the beat to create some interest
and i'll enable these plugins you can hear what it sounds like with the plugins now let's play
these three back together
so it's really starting to get interesting and become more than just a drum beat
so now i have a third instance of the holiday plugin that'll load up
and this time it's the propose a toast sound that i'm going to be using and here's what
it sounds like on its own and again i have the baby comeback just to put it in the same space
as the other stuff there so i'll disable that and here's what propose a toast sounds like on its own
all right and here it is with the baby comeback
not totally different it just kind of puts it in the same space with the other
instruments on there and now let's listen to
all three of those instances of the reflect audio holiday plugin on our drum beat here
all right so i also have the free pendulate synth down here that i'm going to add into it just to
give it a little bit of a droning bass sound and that's all this is going to be used for it's
sort of just to add some bass to it so let's hear what everything sounds like put together
so it's something different that can really help your tracks stand out from the rest of
the people that are using the typical tools and that's what can really help you get noticed if
you start creating sounds using different tools as long as it sounds good it's going to make you
stand out in a good way so this holiday plug-in can be a more subtle addition to your beat or
you could have it kind of transform your beat all together kind of like we did here it's sounding a
lot more sinister with these three instances of holiday on there we've created a beat that
sounds all right it's not just an 808 drum with a bass and i'm sure if i spend even more time with
this free vst plugin i could come up with even more uses for it now if you want to check out
