ported slides and aggressive wubs in ANA 2
Got a vocal that feels lifeless? Tonight we're looking at how to get that half-speed, formant-shifted glue without reaching for the obvious paid preset pack. Plus, there's a deep synth design session that made me immediately open ANA 2 — aggressive complextro wubs you can actually use. Let's get into it.

▶ Stealing the 'Good Girl' Vibe — Without Actually Stealing It
A full from-scratch build focusing on the bass groove and vocal treatment behind that Cloonee sound. You'll walk away with a smarter approach to vocal key/formant shifting, a tight sidechain strategy using Duck to keep high frequencies breathing, and a clever open-hat widening trick with Align Delay.

▶ Live 12.4 Drops a Load of New Push Functionality
Push can now host a Wi‑Fi Link audio session and stream audio from a Move, plus you can create your own custom MIDI mappings that save with the set. The Delay gets an LFO modulation section, and Chorus adds fixed delay times and tap options — small but immediately usable upgrades.
▶ Aggressive Complextro Wubs in ANA 2
Sound design nerds, this one’s for you. Teaches how to get that throaty, gated filter growl using a 3D digital wave, an all-pass 40 pulse filter acting as a comb filter, and a saw-down LFO synced to 1/16. The high-portamento mono patch for slides is a neat touch too.

That twitchy, filtering synth riff that ducks and weaves around the vocal chop. · A pick from the trax.house owner — sits perfectly alongside today's Cloonee-style vocal trick.
