Groove3 UVI Shade Explained [TUTORIAL]

UVI’s Shade plug-in takes the idea of filtering to infinity and beyond, with nearly limitless tone-shaping possibilities and control. In this UVI Shade video course, production whiz Eli Krantzberg walks you through the plug-in step-by-step, teaching you everything you need to know to start taking advantage of its sonic bounty right away. Learn about the 30+ filter types, the various modulators, and every other parameter nestled within this sound-sculpting behemoth with plenty of audio demonstrations along the way! These UVI Shade videos are for new Shade users.

Eli begins with a brief description of how Shade does what it does followed by a tour of the main interface and some basic usage scenarios, such as creating filter bands and/or modulators, routings, and more. This way, you’ll be able to start tweaking sounds right out of the gate. Then, it’s on to low pass filters, where you’ll hear the four different types available in Shade along with some basic modulation with the Figure modulator. Eli follows this by demonstrating the three different high pass filters and using the Envelope modulator on them.

Next up, you’ll explore the available notch and band pass filters on a keyboard part and hear they can add movement to the attack and tail of the sound by way of an envelope follower. The low/high shelf filters are covered next, including the special Q Up and Q Down parameters, which allow simultaneous resonant dips and boosts at various cutoff points.

There’s much more to come, including peak filters (two types), LFO modulator, phasers, comb and flanging, volume gate (using the MSEG modulator), Envelope/Xpander/Tilt filters, De-Esser and Dynamic EQ (creating your own with the Follower modulator and macro module), telephone effect, pitch tracking (creating your own smart EQ), and much more!

There’s a whole universe to explore with Shade, which can be a bit intimidating at first. With this Shade course, you’ll learn all you need to know in a systematic fashion that’ll have you taking full advantage of its potential quickly while having a lot of fun.
