Hi! My name is Boris and in this tutorial I'm going to show you how to make a reversed reverb effect. It can not only be used to spice up any vocal sample - you can actually use it on all kinds of sounds to create a very interesting feel.  We're going to do it with Ableton’s stock “Reverb” effect, but you can use pretty much any reverb plugin you like. This kind of reversed reverb effect is not something you would usually achieve with only a VST - you would have to do some reversing and audio bouncing to achieve...

  Hi! My name is Boris and in this tutorial I’m going to show you how to make an awesome polymetric lead synth pattern for melodic techno. Let’s listen to it first: Before we get into the details, if you like what we’re doing consider subscribing for more ableton live tips like this one. The template we’re using in this video is called Desert. What’s so cool about this one is that it’s all produced with only Live and Analog - all of the synths you heard come from this amazing device - so if you get the template you...

  Hi, my name is Boris, and in this tutorial let’s take a look at one of Ableton’s most underrated stock synthesizers - which is called “Analog”. This synth is so often overlooked because of its rather poor set of presets - but my goal for today is to convince you that this little guy is in fact a really versatile beast. Not only can it produce a really wide range of sounds, but also has the most amazing character. It’s modeled after several vintage analog synthesizers, which gives it an amazing tone. This synth might look a little bit...

  Hey guys! This is Max and today I will show you how to make signature Skrillex Vocal Chords. The very first thing you need to start is a Vocal Hook. It can be even your recording - but what we'll be looking for is one even note with a constant pitch. I've got this one: After we found one simply mark the area around it and consolidate it by hitting [Command (Mac) / Control (Windows) + J]. and now we'll make a new MIDI track for it by hitting ctrl or command plus shift plus t. Let’s drag it...

  What’s up guys! My name is LAR and today we’re going to look at making some Ben Böhmer sounds using u-he Diva. In the last article I did it with Serum. We’ll compare the two to see which of the synths works better in this style. Let’s get started! We’ll make 4 elements: Bass, Chords, Pluck and Swells. Here’s how it sounds:   1. Bass Let’s get started with the bass. If we use the initial Diva patch, it sounds quite nice already. What we could do is engage another oscillator, which adds a bit of an upper tone:...

  Hi! My name is Yannek Maunz and today I want to show you my favourite Diva patches which I made for the Organica sample pack I made together with Brascon. Today we’re going to be taking a look at this patch: Let’s make it from scratch in Diva. First, once we have the initialised preset, let’s start by setting up the oscillator. I chose the “Dual VCO” mode, but you can use whichever mode you like. We’re going to be using a saw wave along with noise: We’ll use the “Analog Envelope” to increase the release time of Envelope 1:...

  Hi! My name is Francois, and today we're looking at the lead sound of “Consciousness” with Wavetable - everything Ableton “in the box”. The lead sound consists out of two instances of Wavetable. We have this MIDI information being played: These are two layered sounds together:   We are sending those into a bunch of send reverbs and an overdrive. Let's quickly look at how the sound is set up: We’re using Wavetable with a saw wave and a bit of release - 600 ms - and two voices in the Random Note Unison mode. Then we’re adding a...

  What's up guys! This is Furcloud for The Sound Design Channel and in today's video we are going to be making a simple melodic house arpeggio pluck. We're going to be making it completely from scratch using Xfer Serum, so let's get right to it!  This is how the pluck sounds:     For those who are interested, this is what the midi looks like: To make it an arpeggio i have a Logic arpeggiator plugin - it's a stock plugin, and I have it at 1/16 rate Okay, so now let's recreate the sound! For this sound, as...

  Hi, my name is Yannek Maunz, and in this article we will make a groovy pluck sound. Let’s get started! Let’s insert Diva and add a single tone playing all the time and decrease the volume. Let’s turn the sound into a basic pad (increase the sustains and decrease the cutoff slightly, add chorus and reverb) We’re mixing it in very, very slightly - it’s not supposed to be an obvious, audible element. We can also automate the cutoff in Live: That’s just so that people get some tonal information - and it’s perfect for getting started with our...

  Hi Everyone! This is Leo Lauretti from Abstrakt Music Lab and in today’s article on Production Music Live we’re going to create a preset in Vital. It sounds like this:   This preset was taken from the Cercle Deep Sounds preset pack for Vital that you can check here in the description below - it’s a new preset pack that Production Music Live has available, so go check it out for sure. Let’s get started with our sound design. First, you need an LFOTool or other volume ducking tool - like Volume Shaper or Flux Mini 2 to create...
