In this video tutorial, MG The Future (MG) explores the features of Shaper Box 3 by Cableguys, demonstrating how to enhance loops, hi-hats, and transitions in a Lil Baby type beat.
MG starts by introducing the beat he's working on, which is a modern Atlanta trap type production. He has created a custom loop with one-shots, drums, and a basic 808 pattern. He plans to use Shaper Box 3 to enhance the sounds and create effects for transitions or open areas such as a bridge or the intro.
One of the main points MG emphasizes is the setup of Shaper Box 3 in FL Studio, particularly for sidechain input. He demonstrates how to route the kick track to the 808 track, allowing the kick to trigger the volume shaper in Shaper Box 3. This results in a cleaner, crisper sound as the 808 is reduced whenever the kick hits, reducing frequency clashing.
MG then explores the new Liquid module in Shaper Box 3, which combines flanger and phaser effects. He demonstrates how to split these effects across three bands, creating unique, trippy effects. He also shows how to automate the percentage of feedback and the center frequency to create rhythmic effects.
MG highlights the revamped preset menu in Shaper Box 3, which is snappier and more responsive. He demonstrates how to use presets to create transitions and change the color of the intro and outro. He also shows how to automate the bypass function in FL Studio to bring effects in and out throughout the song.
