Seed of Sound
I am very excited to announce the release of my new album, Seed of Sound. It's something that's been in the works for a good long while, and it's a bit of a culmination of countless music making hours. I made it a mix of everything I currently love from progressive/electro house to downtempo psy dub, and even some pop. Like all of my music, there is an African feel to the ...
Creative Resampling in Ableton
by DJ Story Resampling opens up a lot of creative potential when producing music in Ableton. I find it especially handy when I want to add a bit of randomness to a composition, because you can record the random variations in and edit them down into what actually sounds good to your ear. Let's say for example you have a BeatRepeat, LiveCut, or other glitch effect on the track with randomized ...
Psytrance Sound Design Using Ableton

I can't stress enough how important it is to just dive in and start getting your hands dirty.

APC40 Python Scripts Review
When I first got my APC40, I was amazed by the out of the box functionality. I had done my research, and knew that it was what I wanted. It offers a lot of flexibility in the studio and for live performance. I still had this feeling like there must be more though. I started experimenting with it, and noticed I couldn't use a midi translator with it, and I was frustrated ...
5 Ways to Create Gated Patterns in Ableton 9

(note: If you select a midi drum rack, you can also select any one of the drums individually) Then all you have to do is play with the threshold, attack, decay and release to get the sound just right. Add ...
432 Hz Vs. 440 Hz and the Universal Harm...
The reason for changing frequency from 432 to 440 Hz middle A in 1936 by J Goebbels is debatable.

Not by Happenstance – Harmonic Res...
Is there hope for healthy harmonious harmonic oscillation happening happily not by happenstance? All of matter (and therefore energy) can be expressed in either waves or particles. However, when speaking in terms of waves, we can plot the motion, potential/kinetic energy, direction, magnitude and get an idea of how this energy in motion will interact […]

By Arthur Andersson Although it’s possible to create a decent mix without any filters at all, they are sometimes very useful. In addition they can be used to change the fundamental character of a sound, rather than just boosting or cutting certain regions to make small adjustments. But how do filters really work? Most mixers […]
