In this video tutorial series, production pro reveals how to produce epic heroic musical themes, perfect for film and video productions, as well as gaming titles! Gary starts by welcoming you and then covers what will be shown in the videos. He then goes into the instruments used, different chord progressions that invoke this kind of musical genre, and coming up with the beginning musical theme. Next you’ll explore how to build up the rhythm parts, move your melody line across to other instruments, develop horn ensembles, orchestrate string parts, modulate the entire piece for dramatic effect and much more.

Organic Beats will teach you how to take a single note, which we record together, and create a full composition out of! Nowadays, a lot of producers are trying to achieve that ‘EDM sound’. Well, not this course! Organic Beats is a very unique music course. With my teaching style, I always fill you in on off-topic goodies to keep you educated and aware of why I am applying certain techniques. [You will understand what is going on even if you have limited audio production knowledge.]

Creating Your Own Audio Tools

FANTASTiC | 28 June 2018 | 2.63 GB

For years I’ve been teaching Ableton Live and Max 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. MaxForLive is a powerful tool that lets users design their own instruments, effects, and devices. It isn’t without its drawbacks: MaxForLive is notoriously difficult to learn. I’ve developed an approach for teaching MaxForLive that focuses on teaching it like a language: You will learn small blocks and patches, understanding the how and the why along the way. As we grow our vocabulary, we “learn how to learn” more and more.

Arp Sound Design & Creating Atmosphere

FANTASTiC | 28 June 2018 | 304 MB

This class has a few sections to it because I want to provide in depth knowledge for each topic. I start with creating an arpeggiated synth using NI Massive and ableton’s arpeggiator effect. Next is a atmospheric chord pad also using NI Massive. The next section is mixing these instruments together in an EDM style using the DAW’s audio effects. Finally I explain how layering sounds creates the size heard in EDM music. Create an arpeggiated synth with a unique rhythmic pattern. Try using different oscillators and modulation rates to get your own style. If you want to take it to the next level, mix your synth into a short loop and use noise layers and background synths to create a large atmospherics sound.
