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…

iLFSN | 05.05.2018 | 2.25 Hours | 1.12 GB

In this video tutorial series, sound design guru Gary Hiebner shows you what it takes to do sound design for TV, Film and Games! Gary starts by welcoming you and gives an introduction to what sound design for media such as TV, Film & Games is, plus a demo of the song that will be created in the series. Then, Gary starts at the beginning, showing you how to import video into your DAW, create hit pPoint markers, decide on a tempo, and how to find and sync sound effects to your video. Gary now shows you how to use sound effects that sync with moving animated parts in a video, followed by how to use whoosh sound effects to sync up with elements in a video, and how you can use time stretching techniques for differentiation in the sounds. You’ll then see how to use risers and build ups as sound effects, piano melody and chord progression creation, adding strings and choirs, building up the rhythm with drums and bass, adding percussion, horns, synths, swells and more! Wrapping it up, Gary walks you through creating dynamics with the mix and exporting and imbedding your audio to video, so you can supply it to the client or production team.

Ableton Live 10 Part 4 TUTORiAL

iLFSN | 03.05.2018 | 2.7 Hours + Project Files | 1.06 GB

This is Part 4: Synths & Samplers

For years I’ve been teaching Ableton Live 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. I will be making 6 (six!) complete classes in order to bring you the most comprehensive manual on Ableton Live production techniques ever created. Each class has Sets, sessions, and experiments for you to try on your own and follow along with.

Old Broken Piano KONTAKT

FANTASTiC | 13 April 2018 | 1.06 GB

For Old Broken Piano we have recorded an old piano manufactured in the 1940s by the brothers Manegold. It has not been maintained and tuned for decades, giving it a unique, dark and nostalgic sound character. The instrument was recorded with a Sennheiser MKH 8040 Stereo Pair connected to a Sound Devices 702T. MKH 8040 are microphones with extended frequency response up to 50.000 Hz, which is great if you want to further process, re-pitch or stretch audio files. Rather unconventional approaches were used to „play“ the piano: Not a single key was touched! It was performed using a violin bow, various mallets and sticks, kitchen utensils, sticky tape and bare hands. The casing of the piano was partly taken apart to get direct access to the strings and the interior components of the instrument. A wide array of interesting sounds have been achieved by bowing, scraping or hitting single and multiple strings or parts of the wood body. For longer resonances, the sustain pedal was pressed down during almost all recordings. Old Broken Piano is a collabration between SampleTraxx and german sound designer Sebastian Emling. This library is the ideal companion for any professional sound designer, trailer or film composer.

Modern Sound Design & Mix Techniques

SYNTHiC4TE | March 23 2018 | 748 MB

Times have surely changed regarding the way we work with and manipulate audio, as new options and techniques are constantly being developed and explored. Studio guru Chris Herrera bings the first volume of videos focused on these methods, looking at cool advanced bus routing and resampling ideas and practices. Chris begins by welcoming you, and then gets right at it with videos on setting up bus channels and delay effects, 3rd party plug-ins, summing channels for processing, and building effect chains. Although Chris is using Logic Pro X for these videos, much of the info will apply to your DAW and its tools. Next you’ll look at some interesting panning and mixing ideas, and then explore what resampling is and how it’s used in today’s productions. See how to take basic drum loops and MIDI parts and bounce them for creative manipulation, including using Flex Time and Groove Quantize.
