Groove3 Dorico Explained TUTORIAL

Dorico is a powerful music notation program from Steinberg that’s capable of incredibly complex and expressive scores. Like most notation programs, however, there’s a bit of a learning curve, especially if you want to become proficient on it. We’ve got you covered at Groove3, as Doug Zangar has created an in-depth Dorico tutorial series that will have you well on your way to becoming a Dorico expert! Whether you want to create simple lead sheets or full orchestral scores, this course is the place to start. These videos are designed for new Dorico users.

Doug begins by introducing you to the Hub, Dorico’s start page, before taking you on a tour of the interface, which examines various modes, menu items, and tabs. Then you’ll learn about the preferences available, including general categories like color and more specific categories like note input, key commands, MIDI, and more.

Next up is an exploration of the Setup mode, which is where you specify the number and types of instruments, their order, the score name, and much more. The Flows panel and Project Info window are covered as well, with which you can segment your score into different movements, songs, etc., among other things.

There’s plenty more as well, including Write mode (project setup, note input, note editing, dynamics, playing techniques, properties panel, text input, etc.), Engrave mode (graphic editing, system breaks, frame breaks, note spacing, etc.), Play mode (Key Editor, Piano Roll Editor, Mixer, etc.), and Print mode (layouts, print options, graphics files, etc.).

Groove3 Session Bassist PRIME BASS Explained TUTORIAL

Groove3 Session Bassist PRIME BASS Explained TUTORIAL

Session Bassist PRIME BASS from Native Instruments provides a powerful and versatile method for laying down some seriously grooving bass lines. In order to help you get the most out of this plugin, Eli Krantzberg has put together a complete PRIME BASS video course geared toward familiarizing you with every aspect of this deep virtual instrument. For the singer-songwriter or producer, especially, this is surefire way to get a solid low end on your next track. These videos are for new Session Bassist PRIME BASS users.

After welcoming you with an overview of how PRIME BASS works and what it can do, Eli begins by demonstrating how patterns can be triggered on the fly for quick, real-time arranging when you need to get an idea down quickly. Then you’ll learn the process for creating your own bass parts from scratch, using key switches in the Melodic Version to switch between articulations for stunning realism.

Explore how to combine these two approaches – patterns and manually played parts – next, for a customized bass line that uses the best of both worlds. The Song and Pattern browsers are then covered, including how to search, select, and load patterns for instant recall. Discover the difference between Loop patterns and Single-note patterns and how each can be used to cover your specific needs and also learn about Phrase mode and One Pitch mode, both of which can alter the notes within bass patterns.

Many other topics are covered in depth as well, including MIDI drag and drop (for quickly adding a pattern to your DAW project), adding dead notes, endings, and slides, using dynamics, the pattern inspector, sound presets, bass settings (for customizing the tone and other features), odd time signatures, and more!

See the descriptions below for more information on what’s contained in each Prime Bass video. By the end of the course, you’ll know everything you need to know in order to achieve your goal, whether that’s a quick, rough, serviceable bass part for a demo or a full-fledged, professional-sounding custom bass part! Don’t settle for inflexible loops or unimaginative MIDI bass lines… watch “Session Bassist PRIME BASS Explained®” today!

ProducerTech Hip Hop Production Techniques TUTORIAL

One of the most exciting Hip Hop producers to grace the industry in recent times is Kaelin Ellis, having received recognition for his music mainly via social media channels initially, where he shared tracks with the likes of Kaytranada, amongst others. More recently, his production talents have been featured in collaboration with another online legend, Marc Rebillet. Now coming to the Producertech community, Kaelin has created a set of tutorials that takes you through his production process, as he creates a Hip Hop arrangement from the ground up in Ableton Live.

After a short introduction, in which Kaelin mentions how he normally finds inspiration for a track and then provides an outline of his Ableton Live template project, he gets started with the beats, beginning with some quick beat boxing to sketch out the initial idea. This is then edited and bolstered with additional samples, which are processed with various individual and drum buss effects.

He then creates a number of different melodic ideas, including arpeggiated and sustained chords sequences with custom made patches designed in realtime, underpinned with a simple bassline to complete the groove. Once all the sounds and ideas are laid down, parts are arranged into a track, with careful selection and development of parts, combined with effects automation and creative layering techniques. Once the arrangement is done, Kaelin provides a quick bonus lesson to talk a little more about his favourite Acid FX rack.

Enrolling on the course gets you immediate access to the streamed tutorials, plus the Ableton Live project from the lessons and a bonus 100MB pack of Hip Hop samples from Loopmasters.

Sonuscore TIME TEXTURES KONTAKT

TIME TEXTURES is a new revolutionary orchestral engine bringing ever-evolving soundscapes to the tip of your fingers. Using advanced algorithmic techniques, orchestral instruments have been given a depth, movement, and beauty that don’t readily exist in the natural world. With a simple modulation design, you can warp and bend 13 instruments into new textures and sonic realities. The power is yours.

– TIME TEXTURES is a revolutionary orchestral instrument based on manipulating quality-recorded orchestral sounds
– TIME TEXTURES uses a simple-yet-complex modulation system that allows intricate, ever-evolving soundscapes at the turn of a knob
– With TIME TEXTURES you can wonderfully enrich a traditional orchestral arrangement and immediately conjure up liveliness and emotion
– TIME TEXTURES is an orchestral instrument tapping into the power of the modern age

ORCHESTRAL TEXTURES AT A NEW LEVEL OF INNOVATION

TIME TEXTURES is an orchestral instrument that allows sound textures to continually evolve in ways that are impossible for simple, pre-recorded sample loops without a great deal of editing. TIME TEXTURES is the easiest way to further innovate your way of composing.

A BREAKTHROUGH ENGINE FOR EFFORTLESS CREATION
TIME TEXTURES bends the sonic essence of space-time in order to fold orchestral instruments into themselves and create new and complex characters.

ORCHESTRAL TEXTURES – REINVENTED
By tying four basic parameters to the mod wheel, it becomes possible to change the sound – anything from intimate and orchestral to spherical and rhythmic – at just a single turn.

A SOUND EMITTING DEVICE
The engine consists of two sound emitters, which produce sounds based on each individual instrument source.

PRESET BROWSER
Choose from over 200 creative and inspiring presets. Use them out-of-the-box or modify them to create your own unique sound.

CREATE ETHEREAL MOVEMENTS

The source of TIME TEXTURES’ depth is how it seamlessly controls four basic parameters separately for both of the instrument layers and ties them to the mod wheel.

  • DYNAMIC CONTROL
    Whether a keystroke calls for intimacy, power or anything in between. Using the dynamic slider can bring out new and previously unheard qualities to the soundscape, or pull it back for something more muted and romantic.
  • MOVEMENT
    Add sound particles of special instrument articulations to the texture and create a morphing sensation between the sounds.
  • OCTAVES
    Easily control how many octaves are emitted from the sound source to widen the overall dynamic spectrum or to stay in a specific range.
  • SPEED
    This parameter controls the speed in which the particles are played back. A higher value leads to a more dense texture.

CRAFT THE PERFECT ORCHESTRAL TEXTURE

TIME TEXTURES is entirely customizable, with every parameter easily adjusted to create new and unique sounds.

  • ATTACK VOLUME
    Adjusts the volume of the first sound particles played when a new note has been triggered.
  • SEED
    Determines the way each particle is triggered.
  • NOTE SELECT
    Changes how the engine interprets your played notes.
  • SPREAD
    Determines the position of the sound particles in the stereo field depending on the pan settings.
  • GAIN
    Adjusts the overall gain of the emitter.
  • PAN
    The panning of each emitter can be adjusted.

EVOLVING TONES & CINEMATIC TEXTURES
There are naturalistic orchestral textures that merge with the modwheel and can create a whole new spectrum of sounds by enriching them with orchestral particle sounds.

There are also cinematic presets that expand the orchestral sounds with a wide effects chain to create truly blooming soundscapes.

The over 200 presets are divided between their feel and character. Listen to some of the most inspiring presets in our preset playthrough.

KEY FEATURES:

  •  Revolutionary orchestral engine
  •  Simple-yet-complex modulation system for intricate and ever-evolving soundscapes
  •  Fully controllable sonic progression with mod wheel for unique textures
  •  Uses multiple articulations for each orchestral section
  •  Over 200 ready-to-go naturalistic & cinematic ensemble presets
  •  25 meticulously recorded and sampled instrument patches
  •  6.17GB of uncompressed data
