Breaks Sequencing for Optimal Groove + Midi Workflow for Live Sketches

Next up in our teacher’s virtual booth we have D.Dan, who will show his tips on how to use Ableton to add funk and swing to your tracks, as well as his own way to process breakbeats. Further, he will share some of his midi techniques for sketching live takes and adding human touch to your arrangements.

D.Dan is a Berlin-based DJ and producer, resident for the infamous Mala Junta. He has taken part in internationally acclaimed events such as Reaktor and released on many heavyweight labels such as Lobster Theremin and Blue Hour.

This class is open to all levels, but Beginners and Intermediates would benefit the most from learning in-the-box approaches to music production.

You know the feeling.

You’ve spent way too many hours getting a really sweet mix on your new orchestral track and you’re pretty happy with the result so you bounce it down and take a break for a while so you can listen to it later with fresh ears.

You come back to the studio, cue up a few tracks from your favorite composers of a similar style and press play.

And your face drops. What’s happening here?

The track you were so proud of just a few hours ago suddenly sounds completely amateurish. It’s got a ‘harshness’ to the upper mids and a ‘muddy’ build-up in the lower mids. It seems to have no width to it, it sounds bland.

And worst of all it’s so much lower in volume than the pro tracks you’re comparing it to.

What went wrong?

It’s Time For A Master Touch

Take heart my friend. All is not lost!

Think about it for a minute. You’re trying to compare a track that you probably created and mixed all by yourself with tracks that have been mixed to a very high standard (possible by a dedicated mix engineer) and then ‘mastered or polished’ to give them the most impact and sparkle!

Provided your track is well mixed, there is a very strong possibility that after you’ve given it a bit of careful tweaking, your track will once again bring a big smile to your face.

Plughugger Aperture – Ambient Electronica for Diva

Plughugger Aperture - Ambient Electronica for Diva

Plughugger Aperture – Ambient Electronica for Diva

Aperture is a collection of sounds inspired by ambient productions by Aphex Twin from the 80s and 90s. The main design goal of the sounds is to combine analogue depth and warmth, with pitch imperfections, lush reverbs and organic modulation.

The main focus of the soundset lies with pads, soundscapes and soft melodic leads, oddly tuned bells, a handful of arpeggios, analog style effects sounds and some mellow drums and percussion.

The soundset is divided into two parts. The first part contains the main section of the sounds, designed using all synthesis options available in Diva. The second part is called “Fundamentals” and is a collection of sounds stripped back to their bare minimum with one or two oscillators and usually just one effect. This section is more basic and was designed to be more typical ambient bread and butter sounds. We also chose to make the sounds in the “Fundamentals” to be less CPU intensive.

We also recorded the drum and percussive sounds as audio files.

CONTENT

  • ​8 Arpeggios & Sequences
  • 7 Bass sounds
  • 18 Drums & Percussion
  • 16 Effects
  • 48 Synth & Leads
  • 41 Pads & Strings
  • 22 Textures & Soundscapes
  • 18 Drum sounds (WAV)
