Flume Sound Massive Synth - Designing the Sound from Lorde - Tennis Court (Flume Remix) We sat down to take a shot at recreating the sound of flume's lead synth in his remix for "Lorde - Tennis Court (Flume Remix)". We're working with our Ableton Live 9 Suite version, Operator and NI Massive. After rebuilding the chords in the first step, we're dividing the sound into 6 layers in the second step:   Sub-Bass: We're using an instance of Operator and select a sine wave for our sub bass frequencies (update: we now put this together in a template and...

  In this video, we’re focussing on sub separation. It doesn’t only apply for future house, but works the same for other genres like electro house, dubstep and drum n’ bass. The key concept is separating the sub bass frequencies from manipulations you’re applying on your sounds in the mid and higher frequencies. If we we’re for example going to use a bitcrusher on our bass sound, it would probably significantly stir up the sound in sub frequencies and add unwanted disturbing character to our mix.        Therefore, we separate our bass sounds in two or more parts:...

  Sometimes you've got your drums right, the bass is perfect and maybe one or two instrument tracks are already playing nicely along. Still, your track sounds a little empty. Depending on the genre you're working on, you can add a background pad to fill up the frequency gaps and increase the overall atmosphere of your track. Over here, Francois explains how to do this with NI Massive, Sylenth1, Arturia Minimoog and Tal-U-No-Lx. Download the Background Pad Preset for Massive, Sylenth1 and Tal for free here.         Listen to previews of our Massive preset packs:   Keywords: free massive...
