Niisoo post production with four track.

Hey everyone, today we are pairing up niisoo with our trusty four-track recorder to create some post-production filtering. Niisoo is a great addition to any pedal board but in this demo we’ll show how useful it can be in the studio. Let’s go!

0:00 - 2:04 Slow vibey filtering.

We’ll begin by applying the low-pass filter to two separate guitar tracks, while the drum track is unaffected. We have set the time control to three o’clock, giving us a shift time of roughly fifteen seconds. This creates a blooming or breathing effect, allowing sounds to organically fade in and out of a mix. In this example the shift toggle is set to latching, meaning Niisoo will shift between the lower and upper bound and remain there until the shift control is pressed again.

 Now let’s hear Niisoo applied to a full mix. In this example, two synth tracks and a drum machine are routed through the low-pass filter. We’re still in latching mode, but we have dialed in a faster shift time of about three seconds. This shorter shift time is great for creating rhythmic tension in a piece of music.

3:42 - 5:44 Lowpass lofi.

Now that we've explored latching mode, let's check out   the momentary shift function. In momentary mode, Niisoo will move between filter boundaries while the footswitch is pressed and return to the starting point when released. In this example we are exploring the low-pass and band-pass modes while adjusting the lower and upper bounds to create different flavors of filter sweeping.

5:45 - 6:40 Resonance in the lab.

In this final example, we'll be using the low-pass mode with the shift toggle set to momentary, and we’ve dialed in a two to three second shift time. This allows for expressive control of the filter sweep and is a great way to highlight sections of your playing or recordings.

Let’s make some noise!

Now that we’ve explored the possible, let’s go and create the impossible.
