Evan dives right in with the hands-on demonstrations of everything the plugins have to offer. He also shows the wide range of use of the effects by showing you more traditional, even-keeled mixing, then switching it up into more adventurous sonic territory.
Whether you’re a professional musician or producer, or a hobbyist making music at home, Evan shows you how to add texture, atmosphere, and punch to your productions
Fresh out the Zenhiser studio comes an obliterating collection of kick drum samples designed with one purpose in mind, to push the sonic frequency of your kick sample library and deliver some of the most freshest, punchy and driving dance kicks ever. “Big Room Kicks” comprises of 199 kicks, mastered into two versions, original and +plus (398 samples in total). By supplying each kick drum in two mastered versions you now have more choice when picking the right kick for your music production. If you love the original kick sound, perfect, just drop the kick into your mix for instant gratification, if you love a kick drum but it’s still a little light for your track, no problem pick the + version for that little extra punch and low end power you need.
Our background as music producers as well as sample producers gives us the insight into what you really want and need, many a time did we find a kick that sounded great but just lacked that little bit of oomph and believe us you can spend hours and hours trying to create that extra power with no joy. So we decided it was about time to start offering certain Zenhiser drum sample packs with dual options and “Big Room Kicks” was the first on our list.
It’s really is time to discover a new realm of kick drums, a sonic slam of bottom end kicks which breathes new life into your kick drum library. Constructed from the ground up “Big Room Kicks” is the essential piece of kit for any main room producer, and perfect for House kicks, Electro House kicks, Progressive House kicks, Progressive Trance kicks, Trance kicks and much much more.

Ukrainian duo Cyborgs have returned to Producertech.com to share their techniques for creating Future House & Pop anthems, this time in Ableton Live. In this 5-hour tutorial series, they go from an empty project to a mastered track, ready to be sent to a label or uploaded to SoundCloud.
Cyborgs have been producing professionally since 2014 and had releases on huge labels like Sony and Armada Music, with support from Tiesto and many other international DJs. Their sound encompasses many styles of popular dance music, from heavy Bass House to mainstream Pop.
The course begins by constructing beats using a number of loops from one of their Loopmasters sample packs. They then add the main chords hook and design a bassline from the ground up with Xfer Serum. Once all of the main elements are in place, they embellish the intro, break and drop sections with a plethora of melodic accompaniment, including guitar, strings, piano and various pads. Finally, a multitude of FX and additional percussion are used to add the necessary dressing.
After the initial arranging is complete, the duo embark on a trilogy of detailed mixing modules, working on drums, drop melodies and then sounds from the intro and break. Techniques include shaping frequencies with EQ and filtering, and adding multi-band compression and saturation. The course ends by tweaking the arrangement to add fills and automation that improve the flow and keep things interesting, before providing a comprehensive mastering module working with iZotope Ozone.
Signing up to the course grants immediate access to 5 hours of streamed tutorials, as well as links for downloading the project and track from the course plus a bonus 50MB pack of Future House samples from Loopmasters. Check out the free sample module before signing up for an example of the course content and listen to the completed arrangement on the Producertech SoundCloud page embedded below.

One of the primary goals in video editing is to make the cuts between shots as unnoticeable as possible. Traditionally, this is known as an invisible cut. One way to achieve the aesthetic of an invisible cut is with TENET transitions. TENET Transitions Is a massive Adobe Premiere Pack containing over 2000 pre-created transitions.
FAUDA Transitions Is a DaVinci Resolve pack containing 64 pre-created transitions.

Robust and Secured Digital Audio Watermarking: Using a DWT-SVD-DSSS Hybrid Approach EPUB PDF
This book discusses digital audio watermarking copyright assurance. The author first outlines the topic of watermarking data that can be used for copyright assurance that incorporates text messages, copyright audio, handwritten text, logo and cell phone numbers. The objective of this book is to propose a new algorithm that can embed and extract the watermarking information. The execution of the newly proposed algorithm is surveyed by testing data utilizing a group of various audio file types and against various attacks. The book also presents a new digital watermark algorithm that preserves the copyright property of the audio files. To do this, the author uses two techniques — DWT and SVD — with the combination of other techniques (DFT and DSSS) to enhance security and also provide high robustness and imperceptibility against various malicious attacks.
Implements an audio watermarking algorithm that gives high robustness against various malicious attacks;
Provides a solution for preventing and tackling attacks for all types of audio data;
Includes a secured algorithm that can be used in defense systems for transmitting hidden messages in audio signal.
This plugin has been our secret sauce for getting drums to hit super hard for quite a while now.
DIABLO is a drum enhancing tool that provides several features for pinpoint control over character and tone, in addition to getting your sounds to hit as hard as possible.
With its 7 unique processing modules, you can find yourself using DIABLO in tons of different mixing situations.
*Diablo is 64 bit only
Punch
Punch is a transient shaper which boosts the attack of your drums, helping them cut through a dense mix or beefy low end instruments. Use it to help a kick blast through an 808, or to make a floppy snare more impactful and snappy.
Body
Body is a fast-acting compressor aimed at bringing up the sustain of your drums while clamping down on dynamic range. Try it with 808s or snares that sound too short and need more presence in the mix.
Boost
Boost offers a set of equalizers, each with an adjustable frequency range. Each equalizer mode has a unique sound and may be useful for a specific purpose in your mix.
Kick 1: A Pultec-inspired EQ profile which sounds great on kick drums, useful for adding weight while removing boxiness.
Kick 2: A wide, classical bell-shape EQ which is handy for boosting low end without adding too much resonance.
Snare: Sounds great in combination with the Punch knob on snares, or to bring out the “chest” portion of a kick to make it smack.
Reso: A low-end resonator which can produce sub-harmonics seemingly out of nothing.
Sizzle
Sizzle is a selection of modes designed to enhance the high end of your sounds. Highly useful in energizing dull sounds and brightening darker ones.
Grit: Especially useful for creating an impression of high-end in sounds which lack it entirely, or sprucing up snares and high hats. Try it with a dull 808 to brighten it up without distorting.
Crush: A jittered bitcrushing effect which can impart a crunchy texture to snares, claps, cymbals, and percussion.
Exciter: A multiband harmonic exciter, useful for livening up claps, snares, and high-hat parts.
Heat
Heat contains 4 saturation modes to add anything from subtle colour to heavy distortion to your sounds.
Pyro: Tube-like distortion with a mix of even and odd harmonics.
Clip
Clip consists of a selectable hard or soft clipper to prevent your signal from clipping, while simultaneously adding harmonic distortion to your sound. It’s extremely useful in combination with the Punch knob to reign in peaky transients while colouring them with distortion.
The hard clipper distorts early and aggressively, while the soft clipper has a warmer, “rounder” sound when driven.
Width
When the Width knob is turned past 50%, it functions as a stereo spreader. The HPF switch engages a high pass filter which will only spread the upper frequency range of your sounds. (Use this if you’d like to retain a centralized low end but spread the high end of an 808 or a snare drum.)
Turning the width knob down to 0% makes your sound mono.
Filter & EQ
The filter section is composed of a bandpass filter with adjustable upper and lower cutoffs, as well as a tilt filter which can darken or brighten the overall tone of the sound.
The EQ is a simple 3 band equalizer for fine tuning your drums before going into the Clipper module. Hold shift and move the knobs to adjust the frequency of the EQ.
VORTEX is an easy to use saturation plugin, optimized entirely for processing and designing your 808s.
This plugin has been used behind the creation of some of our heaviest 808s to date.
It is composed of 4 unique saturation modes, each designed for a different mixing outcome in your low end.
Electric: aggressive, bright sound
Fire: warm, thick sound
Radiation: edgy, rubbery sound
Ultraviolet: extreme, metallic sound
*Vortex is 64 bit only
The power of VORTEX
VORTEX replicates several famous analog saturation modes to give you maximum power in your home studio.
You can also easily dial in the perfect tone using the Color, Filter, and Mix knobs.
VORTEX includes 16 presets made specifically for making your 808s and basses sound huge.
How exactly do the modes in VORTEX make 808s sound so good?
Electric
Based on a pentode tube, this mode will give you lots of odd-order harmonics and an aggressive, bright sound on low-end material.
Fire
Fire is inspired by a “warmer” valve sound with even order harmonics. Great for making an 808 sound full, or warming up a drum bus to achieve loudness without overbearing harshness.
Radiation
A mode inspired by Class-A discrete circuitry found in many famous preamps and outboard saturation units. Symmetrical clipping with a focus on odd-order harmonics. Great for giving a dull bassline some edge.
Ultraviolet
A more “extreme” mode which uses waveshaping to produce some unique, metallic timbres. Useful with filtering and blending with the Mix knob to colour your sound.
