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.

Check out my latest downtemple Bhajan track.  I was feeling inspired to make something beautiful, and this song came through.  This track is available for purchase as an instant download here.  It’s a Sanskrit  mantra that translates roughly to “Victory to the lover of Radha (Krishna).  Let’s chant the name of Krishna together.”

It’s my favorite Kirtan chant from going to the Temple of Peace on Maui.  It gives me chills everytime…
