Here is another selection from my ten week course. This video was taken from my Lead Class.

In this video I take a small techno loop made of Drums, Bass and Pads, and write a melodic lead over top using and operator and a delay.

Full course content will be available in july 2010 at www.tronaudio.com

This is a selection taken from one of my classes on electronic music production. This class was on chords, and how to use them to create solid melodic foundations.

In this video, after constructing a pad, chord structure, percussion and bass, I add a dub blip using Ableton Live's Operator. Its a simple but effective sound. Enjoy

Here is a video I made on Snare and Hihat basic production. I feel strongly about creating you own percussion sounds, especially Hihats. The way you can make them move far surpasses the possibility of samples. 

I use only Ableton Live's Operators for this as generators. I also use a bit of compression to help shape the dynamics of the sounds, along with velocity and EQ's.

This video was taken as a selection from my Electronic Music Production Course - Bass Class. The full course content will be available from around July.

In this video, I go over how I would go about designing a Dubstep Bass in Ableton Live. I use multiple instruments to construct the sound. I use FM syntheses to create some really interesting tones and movement within the sound. And wobbles.. can't forget about the wobbles..

Its constructed out of 16 Simplers, set up specifically for this purpose, and then placed into 16 channels of the drum rack. The Simplers are then sub-grouped into sets of four to enable an easy and quick interface via macro nobs. Just drag samples into the Simplers and off you go..

I've found this absolutely great for Minimal Techno Percs!
