Unlock the full potential of the latest industry-standard software with this comprehensive video course on Ableton Live 12. Designed to guide you through the entire creative process, this course covers everything from initial technical setup to advanced generative techniques and final professional rendering.
Join Logic Pro guru Eli Krantzberg for an in-depth look at the delay plugins of Logic Pro. Eli examines all the parameters and controls for each plugin and provides plenty of demonstrations, so you can hear everything in context and get a good idea of each effect’s possibilities. Whether you just need the simplicity of Echo, the character and vibe of Tape Delay, or the routing functionality of Stereo Delay, it’s all covered here and more. These Logic Pro videos are designed for users new to these delay plugins. Eli welcomes you to the course and begins by looking at common elements to all delay plugins followed by an examination of the simpler Echo plugin in Logic Pro. Then you’ll see several uses for Sample Delay, including both creative (to stereoize a mono track by slightly offsetting the timing of one channel) and corrective (to fix frequency cancellation due to multiple mics). Next, check out how to add some retro flavor to your tracks with the Tape Delay plugin, with which you can simulate a tape-based delay unit, including parameters like tape saturation, pitch modulation, and tape speed fluctuation, etc. You’ll get to hear it in action on a Rhodes track, vocals, and bass.
In this Elysium video tutorial series, synth expert Larry Holcombe will show you how to create amazing, unique textures and sounds for your own productions with this collaborative virtual instrument from Native Instruments and Wide Blue Sound. You’ll learn how to blend different sounds from the two main layers (Perc and Synth), add all kinds of otherworldly built-in effects and modulations, bring the sounds to life with ever-evolving modulation sequences from the Phrase Sequencer, and more. These Elysium videos are designed for new users. Larry begins by welcoming you and providing a brief overview of the interface, so you’ll quickly gain an understanding of Elysium’s basic layout and structure. Then he moves on to the Perc channel, which is where you can select the percussion sound source with the Morph and Bass layers and tweak further with the Filter, Pitch, and Flux controls. The Synth channel follows, and you’ll see how to select the sound sources to layer together and customize further with the Pan, Tone, and Pitch controls.
Ableton Certified trainer extraordinaire Scottie Dugan returns and is ready to pull the curtain back on Live 9’s built-in reverb and delay plug-ins. Join Scottie as he unlocks the power of these two classic, “must know how to use” effects. Scottie kicks things off with an introduction to reverb and what it is, and then takes a close look at the Reverb plug-in and its parameters, showing how Early Reflections give your ears a lot of clues about how the space “behaves” in a mix. Scottie then reveals the parameters that control the Diffusion Network and Output, and why they’re important to crafting the perfect space.
That classic whispy transition sound leading into a break. Very easy to do, and I’ll show you how in this video!
This tutorial provides a comprehensive guide on treating a bass synth sound using Ableton Live’s native audio effects. We’ll start by recording the bass synth into the Arrangement view, then apply stereo separation, EQ, saturation, and gain structuring techniques. The goal is to enhance the bass’s presence and clarity while maintaining a solid low-end foundation.
Studio pro Doug Zangar presents in-depth AVID Control video tutorials! Learn everything you need to know to use the free iOS AVID Control app to control your Pro Tools sessions, including mix and edit windows, transport controls, writing automation, toggling folders open and closed, keyboard shortcuts and more. These videos are designed for both new and intermediate AVID Control users. Doug greets you and starts at the beginning with how to find the free iOS app on Apple’s App Store, and the free Eucon Control software download on AVID’s website, and how to install them correctly. Once that’s done, you’ll then get a detailed overview of the AVID Control interface, as well as how to customize its look and feel via its many settings. Doug then goes through all the different available pages throughly, including the Mixer View, Tracks View, Channel View, Meters View, and Soft Keys, showing what they do and how to use them effectively in your Pro Tools sessions. Not stopping there, you’ll watch and see how to toggle folders open and closed in Mixer view, Tracks view, and with Soft Keys, as well as how to arm and record multiple tracks with AVID Control, and record volume, pan and send gain automation using AVID Control as the controller.
