Ableton Tutorial - Rhythmic Gated Patterns
In this tutorial I share a technique for turning any texture, pad, or soundscape into a tight rhythmic stuttering pattern. It's accomplished using sidechain options of the gate effect in Ableton Live. This type of effect is something you hear in a lot of psy dub, psy trance, and psybient music. You hear it used in many songs by artists like Shpongle, Ott, Bluetech, Phutureprimitive, and many more.
Ableton Live + TouchOSC + Live Control
I recently found Live Control which is an open source template for TouchOSC that incorporates user midi remote scripts just like the APC40. It's a really phenomenal tool, because it basically allows you to turn your iPad into an APC40. At least the python script was written to interact with Ableton Live in much the same way giving an insane amount of control with minimal effort. In fact, it communicates both ways ...
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 ...
432 Hz Vs. 440 Hz and the Universal Harmonics
The reason for changing frequency from 432 to 440 Hz middle A in 1936 by J Goebbels is debatable. Some say it was to accommodate the piano, so the tuning would stay more consistent across the entire keyboard. Others say that it was a Nazi conspiracy in conjunction with Satan. Either way, there is still plenty of evidence that 432 Hz tuning is much more harmonious with numbers found ...
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 ...

DJ Story here. Check out this remix I worked on with Paul Gotel for the band D:ream. It made it into itunes store. You can only hear about 30 seconds though without paying. It’s for their single titled “All Things to All Men.” I like the song a lot.

(view post)This sample pack contains royalty free psytrance samples and loops created by DJ Story for dark progressive, full-on, and darkpsy producers. Sawtooth waves are essential for psytrance sound design. So much can be done manipulating the pitch and frequency of basic waveforms. The sound design was primarily done using sawtooth, square, sine waves with various processing in simpler.
