Let’s Make A Banger 5 – Another Fish In The Pan – Part 1
Time to make a banger on the full Ableton 11. I think it would be nice to try and utilise a bunch of the new features and have a play around with it.
Velocity Triggered Sample Offset
This is a great way to generate some unusual synth line patterns and tons of variation in your grooves.
Track Walk Through – Synthetic Nixon
This is the title track off my latest EP and it utilises some of the new bits from Ableton 11 so thought it would be a good one to go through tonight :)
Trance Gate
Time to get your glowsticks out. It's trance gate time!
Unusual Drum Samples And Technoish Loop
Bit of a journey on this one today but I thought it could be useful to show a bit more of my process when writing a drum loop. For this one I tried using some ideas from a Randomer video I saw a few years ago. The plan was to use samples that aren't actually drums and then make the loop from that.
Fixing a Muddy Mix
One of the most common issues with a mix down is the muddy lows and low mids. Often there are some unfortunate resonant frequencies in the kick, bass and synths that need cutting out. Let's take a look at how to do just that.
Big Effects Tail With Sidechain Gate
This is a very handy trick for when you want a big verby effects on something but you don't want the elongated tail. Go buck wild the the effects and then cut them off as soon as you take your finger off the keyboard.
Thick Pads On Wavetable
Let's go over the basic concepts for synthesising a nice thick pad using Wavetable. After that we can introduce some light modulation to keep it interesting.
Moving Between Two Samples With Chain Selector
This handy little nugget is a quick way to add some dynamic life into your synth sounds or to create cool blended effected between two samples.
Let’s Mix A Banger 3 – Two Rums Please (Part 7)
It's mix down time gang. For the first time in my life I am going to mix down a track in Ableton instead of Logic. On top of that I am also only going to use the Ableton stock plugins. Drums are done and it's on to bass and synths today. Looking forward to it :D
