Sonic Academy How To Sound Like Disclosure with Sensho TUTORIAL
This week we proudly welcome back Sensho as he creates a track from start to finish in the style of Disclosure!
Starting with a template set at 124bpm, Sensho first builds a classic Disclosure-style groove before diving into some epic sound design on both the main synth and bass. We look at some complex chord structures, live automation, background effects, and a cool parallel harmony technique before tackling the arrangement and transitions.
The final result is a smooth house track that captures many of Disclosure’s signature sounds.
Sonic Academy Tech Tips Volume 96 – Ambient & Generative Tips TUTORIAL
It’s a new year, and we’re kicking things off in style with a new set of Tech Tips from Protoculture!
In these ten new tips, Nate uses the DAW to do a lot of heavy lifting by generating epic evolving drones and melodies perfect for ambient music and background atmospheres in your tracks.
Using Bitwig’s powerful modulators and Polygrid functions, we create seemingly complex patches and pleasing synth sound designs. Once we throw them into huge reverbs and delays, the outcome is mind-blowing!
Although these tips showcase Bitwig’s capabilities, if you have access to LFOs, many of the ideas generated here can be replicated across different DAWs. The possibilities are endless, and as Nate shows, it’s just a case of experimenting and having fun!
