This week we welcome back downtempo and ambient multi-instrumentalist, for an all-new course in Ableton 10 on how to make his track Weekend. In this three hour course, we learn how to build this ethereal yet powerful and epic track from scratch. Starting with the analog lead chords with it’s flowing arpeggio and automated sidechain using Ableton’s utility plugin, we move on to building the sub and kick before layering further melodic textures using WNTER’s signature time-stretching and resampling techniques. Just by using a handful of simple samples, we create epic pad and string sections drenched in reverb and finish off with arranging all the elements we’ve created before mixing down the song and carrying out a basic master so it’s ready to be released.

Vocal Exercises to Develop & Expand Your Singing Power and Freedom!

Vocal exercises custom-designed to strengthen your voice Singing isn’t a talent you’re born with. Singing is a skill you can learn, and here’s why: because every single day those with “natural talent” get surpassed by singers who work hard. This is not a lofty dream, this is proven reality. One of Nathan’s students several years ago was a young woman who came in for her first lesson literally only able to sing 5 pitches; everything else would crack or wouldn’t come out at all. But she knew she wanted to sing more than anything. She studied these same techniques and practiced hard at home. In time, she had one of the top auditions for her school’s honor choir.

This week we welcome back ambient and cinematic maestro Owsey for an all-new set of tech tips in FL Studio. These ten tips are a unique insight into how Owsey manages to create such epic, ethereal and transcendental sounds using unlikely sources such as a simple pluck on a violin, or foley recordings taken from everyday objects. Throughout this course, we check out how to use different and often ignored parameters on our effects plugins along with interweaving automation to add a ton of texture and character to bring our sounds to life. We also look at some detailed synth sound design, resampling techniques and building our own ambient percussive beats.

FM Synthesis TUTORiAL

P2P | 27 December 2018 | 456 MB

The origins of FM Synthesis date back to the 1970’s. Frequency modulation is a type of synthesis that is heard in many genres of music including house, pop, dubstep, EDM, electronic music, and more. Popular synthesizers include the Yamaha DX7 keyboard and the software synth Native Instruments FM8 – both of which have been used by notable artists. This course is designed to teach those who may not be familiar or comfortable with synthesis about frequency modulation, and how it can be used as a method of synthesis to create very unique sounds and textures. We will start by making the connection between frequency and pitch, and then introduce the basic concept of frequency modulation by using an LFO to modulate the pitch of a sine wave. By increasing the speed of the modulation, the viewer will notice that it sounds less like the pitch is changing and more like the overall timbre is changing. Once this is understood, we will dive deeper into the Operator instrument in Ableton Live and discuss various ways we can take advantage of frequency modulation by utilizing the four operators, different routing algorithms, and different sources of modulation (LFO, Pitch Envelope, Filter Envelope). At the conclusion of this mini-course the viewer will be able to create unique sounds from scratch by utilizing FM synthesis.
