In this event we will be diving into Graham’s world as he shows us techniques like his “Top Down Mixing” technique and his unique approach to Parallel Processing on a variety of instruments. What he calls “Top Down Mixing” involves starting your mix with plugins loaded onto your master fader. This gives your mix a unique flavor right from the start but what makes this technique super practical is that it can be taken and implemented into your productions right away! Along with that technique, his approaches to Parallel Processing on instruments such as Bass, and Vocals make such a considerable impact on the mix very quickly which allows for more creativity through the process.

Holder v1.0 for Ableton Live v9.7.1 ALP

SYNTHiC4TE | March 19 2017 | 17.2 MB

Holder is a spectral freezing device. It grabs short slices of sound and transforms them to ambient textures. It is perfect for creating wide, lush soundscapes and atmospheric drones. Holder processes audio from ordinary instruments into completely new and different sonic landscapes. It freezes segments of your sound and enables you to ‘hold’ them as sustained textures. In the “Freezer” section you can freeze slices of sound manually or set Holder to automatically sync to Live’s tempo. The “Mode” panel lets you rearrange the way holder reads the slices of audio. “Random” creates moving “Freezes”, “Linear” creates micro loops and “Still” will grab and hold just the first slice. The “Dronizer” panel is where the special effects come into play with “Void”, “Swarm” and “Blur” using video processing on the incoming audio to bring the sound to life.
