Drum Programming Masterclass Part 1

FANTASTiC | 06 August 2018 | 1.27 GB

Rhythms and Patterns

For years I’ve been teaching Music Technology in the college classroom. As a University Professor, my classes are sought after, and, frankly, expensive. I believe Ableton Live can be learned by anyone, and cost shouldn’t be a barrier. This class uses the same outline and syllabus I’ve used in my college classes for years, at a fraction of the cost. In this class, we are going to be making beats. Drum beats, in particular. You don’t need to know music theory, harmony, reading music, or any particular audio application. I’ll be using Ableton Live and some Logic in this course, but it will be easy to following along on whatever program you are most comfortable with. We will start the class off with basic rhythm theory, and learning where (typically) we put the kick, the snare, and the hi-hats. Then we will learn to adapt that pattern to work for a number of different styles.  This is a comprehensive class – that means there are three (3!) different classes that together make the complete sequence. This is Part 1. (The best place to start!)

Plucked Strings ALP

P2P | 10 January 2023 | 303.03 MB

From sharp, staccato plucks to gentle tremolos, infuse your music with the evocative tones of a ronroco, a Celtic harp, and guitar and bass harmonics. Plucked Strings brings together a set of stringed instruments with unique sounds: a ronroco, a Celtic harp, and the harmonics from a set of electric and acoustic guitars and basses. Carefully recorded to capture the characterful timbre of each instrument, the samples in this Pack feel just as suited to experimental sound design as they do to alternative pop, folk and ambient cinematic music. Each instrument comes in two forms: a standard mode, featuring several basic playing articulations along with a natural-sounding reverb, and extended mode, which includes more experimental effects processing, and in some cases additional playing articulations. The result is almost forty different tones to play with, from sharp staccato plucks to gentle, reverberant swells of sound.

Post-Rock Ableton ALP

P2P | 10 January 2023 | 1.06 GB

Immerse yourself in the hypnotic and experimental realm of post-rock with this rich palette of multisampled instruments, sounds and loops that capture the genre’s distinct textures and tones. The post-rock genre combines the basic building-blocks of traditional rock – two guitars, a bass, and drums – with a more experimental approach to song structure and sound design, and an emphasis on instrumentals over vocals. Borrowing from a wide range of genres, including ambient, electronica, krautrock, dub and even jazz, post-rock found a mass following with the popularity of bands like Mogwai, Sigur Rós and Slint.

The Sixties EZBASS EBX

P2P | 28 December 2022 | 601 MB

THE SIXTIES EBX A POP POWERHOUSE.

Bass, presets and MIDI – tailored for that classic 1960s vintage sound. This expansion for EZbass sets out to capture one of the most iconic and defining epochs in popular music history: the sixties. It includes the vibe, the sound and the very bass model whose characteristically tubby, dark and earthy thud played a leading role in its soundtrack. Arguably, no other instrument paints a more vividly compelling image of an era come and gone than this – sonically and visually. The bass was strung with classic flatwound strings and captured using two distinctly different playing styles, one using the finger and one palm muted using a pick. This gives you two contrasting takes on the same instrument and a tonal range covering the entire width from the traditionally thud-like to the sharp and zingy. In addition to the bass, this EBX also includes a wealth of presets for a wide range of tones as well as a custom library of MIDI basslines tailored for the instrument and the era in question.
