Beyond the Basics Synth Programming TUTORiAL

P2P | Sept 05 2014 | 564 MB

Up your levels. Move beyond the basics of sound synthesis, in this course with musician Scott Hirsch. These advanced tutorials explore the inner workings of familiar synth programming techniques, as well as a few alternatives for pushing your sound further. Scott builds from modular-component synthesis to other types of synthesis, including frequency-modulation (FM) synthesis, modeling synthesis, and vocoding techniques. The course finishes up with a series of tutorials on creating new sounds, including a classic vocoder effect, big moving basslines, evocative percussion patterns, and rich synth pads.

The Synthesizer: A Comprehensive Guide to Understand

English | 2014 | 428 pages | EPUB | 40 MB

Programming, Playing, and Recording the Ultimate Electronic Music Instrument

Suitable for existing synthesists and newcomers to the industry; teachers, professors, and students in universities, colleges, high schools, and middle schools who are interested in electronic music; and manufacturers, dealers, consultants, journalists, authors, owners, performers, composers, improvisers, engineers, producers, and recordists in the electronic-music and electro-acoustic industries. Electronic music instruments weren’t called synthesizers until the 1950s, but their lineage began in 1919 with Russian inventor Lev Sergeyevich Termen’s development of the Etherphone, now known as the Theremin. From that point, synthesizers have undergone a remarkable evolution from prohibitively large mid-century models confined to university laboratories to the development of musical synthesis software that runs on tablet computers and portable media devices.

Programming Beats in Ableton Live 9 TUTORiAL

SYNTHiC4TE | Nov 29 2013 | 634.2 MB

The drum track is part of the hidden chemistry of a great song. This is your beat making lab. Yeuda Ben-Atar, educator and producer who performs as DJ Side Brain, shows you how to make beats in a variety of genres, from dubstep to hip-hop. Yeuda works with Ableton Live—but you can use these tutorials to make beats in whatever DAW you have accessible. First get some basic rhythmic theory, including counting music and note subdivisions, and learn how elements like cymbals, percussive instruments like congas, and even homemade sounds from cans, bottles, and counters contribute to your beats. The following chapters tackle the particulars of house, dubstep, drum and bass, trap, juke, and hip-hop. In each of these chapters, Yeuda discusses how to choose the appropriate tempo and drum sounds for the style and how to sequence the kick, snare, and cymbals. The course closes with some pro mixing techniques that balance punch and presence, so your drums will cut through the mix and sound their best.
