Fractal Artist Case Study: Recreating Maroon 5's Iconic "Girls Like You" Filter Sweep Live

[Cooper Carter]

The video says it all, really, but I thought it'd be fun to do a little "behind the scenes" featuring a perfect example of my working with a Fractal artist to take an iconic recorded sound and implement a solution to convey it live.
My goal with any sound, whether it's an effect or simply a great tone is always to accomplish everything "in the box" so that what FOH gets from "guitar world" needs no additional treatment or attention.

This is pretty cool.

I'd love to see an in-depth dive into the ADSR functionality. I have very little understanding of when or how to properly use it.

Me watching guys like Cooper utilize multiple parameters /tools to achieve specific ends....
also, the ADSR is giving me an idea to work with this filter sweep I've been trying to achieve in the song Chances by The Strokes. I love vids with these kinds of tips.

That dummy envelope is a pretty clever solution.

That dummy envelope is a pretty clever solution.

Thx! I've since come up with two alternate solutions that might have been a bit more straightforward, but this is what occurred to me at the time a few years back!

Some great tips in this one that can be applied to other effects! Definitely worth the watch even if you don't want to recreate the moving low pass filter exactly.

Great solution! Can use that approach with lot of other things too - nice!

oh man! how soon is soon for that playthrough video and preset?!

Hey @Cooper Carter any update on this? When can we expect the maroon 5/james valentine preset?

This was really cool to learn this!!
Thank you @Cooper Carter

I'm interested in the other two alternate solutions you mentioned.

Thanks for sharing. I never can seem to get ADSR to do what I want it to mainly because I didn't understand the settings. Bookmarked for future reference.
