Synthesis & Sound Design Masterclass is a monster course spanning close to 50 videos with over 22 hours of total training. It will take you from a novice or even moderately accomplished synthesist to the next level, and then to the one beyond that. We’ll take a cross platform approach to sound design, looking at techniques and tips that are common to many instruments, allowing you to get the most out of what you already have. This course is jammed full of practical knowledge, explantations, and concise breakdowns of why things work the way they do. Divided into two styles of video, each synthesis concept is explained in a “theory” video and then shown in action, in a series of “practical” videos where you get to watch a detailed construction of a high quality synth sound. These sounds are both cutting edge and classic, and are all hand crafted by Myagi on screen to give you an up-close view of each concept in action.

Learn how to make your 808′s thump

The struggle is over! Learn how to make, mix and generally demystify the elusive 808 low end sounds. At over 5 hours long, the 808 Sub Bass Masterclass explains everything you need to know and understand about 808’s and sub basses. This course is designed to give you both a theoretical and practical understanding of the 808 sound including what it is, where it came from as well as when and why we use it. It also steps you through exactly how to mix 808s and sub basses, how to make them and which tools and plugins you can turn to achieve a low-end perfect mix. The course is intentionally open ended, spanning Hip Hop/RnB and EDM oriented 808’s and sub basses. Echo Sound Works demonstrates with Logic Pro x during the tutorial the theory and techniques shown are entirely applicable to other DAW’s.

The Orchestral Sessions

So you recorded your MIDI score and can’t wait to hear it played by a live orchestra. What’s the next step? Join music composer  in this new updated course, and learn how to transform your MIDI data into a full score. Nowadays, orchestral music recorded with MIDI in a DAW can sound fantastic, but there’s nothing like music played by real musicians. In this second instalment of the Orchestral Session series, music composer covers the special preparation work needed to transform your MIDI score into data that a notation program can use. In this course, covers essential techniques and strategies to speed up your orchestration prep work. Topics such as when to use region-based vs. event-based quantization, how to deal with dedicated runs libraries so they correctly translate to the score, or how to consolidate MIDI parts are all covered. Olajide also discusses how to create individual parts from ensemble patches, what important housekeeping steps need to be done before exporting, why you should know about the alternative music XML format, and more… In the last section, you learn about the challenges and considerations when orchestrating for the scoring stage, where you learn to import MIDI prepared from a DAW into Sibelius and Finale, and you get a walkthrough of a completed orchestral score!

Aparillo Sound Design TUTORiAL

SYNTHiC4TE | June 19 2018 | 252 MB

Aparillo is unlike any other synthesizers. Demystify this very unique instrument in this course by synthesis expert! Aparillo is based on FM synthesis, but it’s definitely not your standard digital synth plugin. A quick look at the user interface may leave you confused… and when you switch to the Orbit tab, you will probably feel like you’ve been teleported at the control board of an alien spaceship. Thankfully, sound designer Rishab Rajan is here to demystify everything about this very special instrument! Rishabh starts the course with a quick overview of the synth. After explaining where everything is found on the interface, he dissects all the knobs, controls and panels. You learn how every parameter (Ratio, FM Index, Formant/Waveshaping, Jitter, LFOs, Envelopes, etc.) work together to create complex timbres and organic textures, all while strengthening your knowledge of FM synthesis. You also explore Aparillo’s arpeggiator (which behaves in very unique ways) and you get an in-depth look at the effect section (which includes some very unusual and great sounding filters). Rishabh ends the course by covering everything about the fascinating Orbit tab…
