This is a selection taken from one of my classes on electronic music production. This class was on chords, and how to use them to create solid melodic foundations.

In this video, after constructing a pad, chord structure, percussion and bass, I add a dub blip using Ableton Live's Operator. Its a simple but effective sound. Enjoy

The full course content will be available in July.

Here is a video I made on Snare and Hihat basic production. I feel strongly about creating you own percussion sounds, especially Hihats. The way you can make them move far surpasses the possibility of samples. 

I use only Ableton Live's Operators for this as generators. I also use a bit of compression to help shape the dynamics of the sounds, along with velocity and EQ's.

This video is a selection taken from my Electronic Music Production Course. The full package will be released in july.

This video was taken as a selection from my Electronic Music Production Course - Bass Class. The full course content will be available from around July.

It this video, I go over how I would go about designing a Dubstep Bass in Ableton Live. I use multiple instruments to construct the sound. I use FM syntheses to create some really interesting tones and movement within the sound. And wobbles.. can't forget about the wobbles..

In this video, I go over how I would create a mastering chain for my live set.

Live set mastering is a lot easier and more gentle that mastering for an album. Your goal should be to achieve level at 0db without clipping an having a clean and consistent sound through out your set. You don't need to be so accurate and discerning to make it sound good coming out the PA. One of the key differences being that your creating a chain to accommodate for multiple tracks, rather than creating a tailored mastering chain for each individual track. Thus, you have to be a lot more gentle and general with your processing.

I cover EQ, Compression, Limiting and even Mid Side processing.

Hope it helps
