Today's electronic music and sound effects are a showcase for more than the
compositional skills of the producer: They are a chance to present your
listener with a world full of interesting sounds that help reinforce the
message or aesthetic being conveyed.

The Importance of Sound Design
So why should you care about learning how to create your own sounds using
samplers, synthesizers, and audio effects? For one, the ability to control
every timbral quality of the music that you use to represent yourself as
an artist is a HUGE advantage nowadays. To realize your sonic vision, you
need more than a great sample library! Additionally, a true understanding
of your tools on a deeper level can catapult you from a consumer and
recycler of other peoples' sounds onto a level where you have the last
word on every aspect of your sonic vision. This is about innovation and
setting yourself apart.

This is where these sound design tutorials come in. Using the native tools
of Ableton Live plus the extremely flexible "Sampler" instrument, I have
devised a set of lessons to help you take any ordinary sound and turn it
into something completely new and useful. For 10 years I have been
developing and using these techniques, helping others learn them as well.

Here are just a few of the things you will learn through these videos:

* FIND out how to transform tiny, insignificant sounds into powerful drum
hits through strategic uses of layering, tuning, filtering, and envelope
modulation.
* CREATE a pseudo-wavetable synthesizer out of a few tiny chunks of audio.
You.ll also learn how to create rich melodic pads and lead sounds.
* DRAMATICALLY alter and improve melodic sounds through slicing and
reprocessing.
* UNDERSTAND how to utilize a combination of modulating sampler and effects
parameters to create evolving textures and soundbeds.
* DEVELOP a clear way of dividing a large number of parameters into small,
manageable groups of related sound-shaping tools.
