How To Use Byome TUTORiAL

SYNTHiC4TE | Nov 12 2018 | 2.45 GB

Over these 13 videos Nate takes us on a highly detailed and in-depth look at how to make the most of this plugin and what it is capable of. Starting with an overview of the main controls we dive into the different modulation options and how we can use the macros to automate within our DAW, before looking at each of the effects available from delays, distortions, filters, reverbs, granular effects and dynamics which are all outstanding in their own right. However, this plugin really becomes something else when you start to connect up the cables using the modulation options which include LFO’s, Envelopes, randomisers, sequencers, and controllers. It is only then that you realise just how many options to manipulate your incoming signal are available to you and Nate demonstrates this beautifully with some practical examples. Byome is a one-stop-shop that can turn the mundane into something truly spectacular, and if you ever get tired of connecting up your own awesome patches, its handy randomise feature will let you literally roll the dice for endless possibilities along with endless hours of fun!

Mixing Kick & Bass TUTORiAL

P2P | 12 November 2018 | 3.26 GB

Over these 20 videos Nate shares his professional knowhow and in-depth analysis of these vital elements of the frequency spectrum, which if you don’t treat with respect, can ruin and muddy up your mix. We start by looking at the tools we can use to analyse and visualise frequencies that the human ear can’t always pick up, before firstly moving on to the all important kick and how to build and recreate our own kicks that we know will work. We then check out how to correctly process our kicks with EQ and compression and how to eliminate phase issue problems when they arise. Nate then moves onto showing us how to create a punchy bassline and the importance of harmonics, selective EQ, along with compression and expansion techniques to ensure the kick and bass are giving their full potential without clashing. Finally, we look at the proven methods to help our kick and bass sit perfectly in the mix alongside the other elements.

This week proudly welcomes back Swedish born 138 Trance legend Bjorn Akesson for a brand new course in How To Make Tech Trance. We’re also excited as for the first time here at Sonic Academy this awesome monster of a track is created in Presonus Studio One. Bjorn builds this entirely new tune from the ground up starting with a blank slate firstly creating the drums before moving on to the layered sub and mid bass. We then arrange the basic layout to give the foundation of the track before adding effects, creating the drop and main theme, adding atmosphere, along with a dope acid line and stabs. Throughout this course we check out Bjorn’s easy-to-follow, methodical approach to workflow and organisation along with his clever use of automation lines to create tension and move through the transitions of the breakdown and drop.

VCV Rack & Modular Synthesis TUTORiAL

SYNTHiC4TE | Nov 08 2018 | 418 MB

..:: Beginners Guide ::..

Explore modular synthesis using open-source virtual modular synthesizer, VCV Rack. Modular synthesis can get a bit technical but it can also yield unique and highly customised results. If you’re interested in learning how to use a modular synth, or VCV Rack in particular, this course will set you on the right path with professional instruction and techniques you can start using right away. In this course we will look at VCV Rack, an Open-source virtual modular synthesizer, it is modelled and behaves like a real world modular synth and even has some modules that are replicas of hardware. It was originally standalone only but recent updates have introduced communication to and from a DAW, using a method similar to Rewire, along with better stability. This course is an introduction to Rack and how to use a Modular Synthesiser. There are a myriad of modules available, this course will cover the basics of CV and gate routing and setting up a basic patch. While this course will mainly focus on using the software as a standalone synth we will also look at incorporating it into an arrangement within a DAW.
