Fibonacci Sequence Delay in Ableton Live

April 20th, 2016|

Using interesting mathematics in our effects and music can add a natural depth to the sound. I've been playing with the Fibonacci Sequence with delays and wanted to share the free / by donation Live Pack I put together. Video Walk Through: What is the Fibonacci Sequence? The Fibonacci sequence is referenced as far back as 900 BCE and is referenced in a lot of Indian Sanskrit and Greek text. In mathematics, the Fibonacci numbers or Fibonacci sequence are the numbers in the following integer sequence: 1,\;1,\;2,\;3,\;5,\;8,\;13,\;21,\;34,\;55,\;89,\;144,\; What is so intriguing about the Fibonacci numbers are how often they are found in nature. They appear everywhere in Nature, from the leaf arrangement, to the pattern of flower petals, pine cones, or even the bone structure of humans.

House Beat Sample Library – Free Download

April 12th, 2016|

Have you sat down to work on a track and wanted to throw in a beat for inspiration?  You then build out the track and you realize that Loop you used will only get you so far. You wish you had the kick separated, or that strange minimal sound. Well... That is exactly what I had in mind when I made this new Deep Tribal House Loop Library. I love making Deep and Tribal House tracks.  I got addicted to the drag and drop nature of my Trap Beat Builder and got inspired to make a library of house beats for a live performance coming up.  Going back to some old projects and extracting out the beats was really fun.  Right after I put together the Sample Loop Library I was using it religiously in my new tracks. The video below will show off the Loops and how to use this unique library in your production.   Download the Live Version for free / by donation: Download The Live Pack   Get the full Deep Tribal House Beat Builder with an added 62

6 Best Free Ableton Live Pack and Effects

April 5th, 2016|

An awesome Ableton Live Pack can be really inspirational.  Once and a while I look online for a new technique, sound design, or idea and love checking out Ableton Live Packs and Racks to play around. In this article, I am going to list off some of my favorite packs and why I would use them. This is the cream of the drop. 1. Turntable Scratch For Days In my live sets I’ve always wanted to add a turntable scratch sound. One day when I was looking it up I found this awesome free pack by Yehezkel Raz at 4live.com.  This Instrument Rack is great for live performance and for the studio. It lets me get some awesome tape stop sounds live.  Check out the video below and download the Free Live Instrument.  2. Low-fi VCR sounds Sticking with the retro sound we have this awesome VHS VCR Tape Emulation from AfroDJMac.  If I am looking for a vintage scratchy sound this is the Live Pack go to. I love the tools AfroDJMac gives to add

The Death of Soundcloud and Soundcloud Go

March 31st, 2016|

SoundCloud just unleashed their newest mistake called SoundCloud Go.  SoundCloud Go has completely changed the way I look at SoundCloud and to me it is ushering in its own demise. In this article I am going to be looking at Soundcloud Go and how it affects the indie musician. I am also going to look at how musicians should be an active voice in the discussion. To start lets look at what Soundcloud Go is. In the email announcement I got today from SoundCloud they said; Soundcloud Go is offering an expanded catalog of tracks and albums that are new to the platform as well as ad-free, offline listening. We’ll also continue to have the existing free ad-supported listening experience. Ok, so lets decipher that. Basically Soundcloud is now going to charge listeners $9.99 a month to listen to music add free. I like how they state having a free ad-supported listening experience is a perk, we will debunk that soon enough. This new move really upsets me, not because people are paying for music, but how this came to be. To understand this, lets look at the

Animatronix – Free Sound Effects Library

March 30th, 2016|

Having a collection of morphing Sound Effects can add a depth and texture to your music production. I worked with Animatronix to share this impressive collection of Sound FX's. Animatronix put together this psychedelic collection of added sparkles, drops, and breakdowns. This by donation / free library contains impacts, weaponry, liquid mechanics and psychedelic sweeps. This is sample library is perfect for cinematic moments, complex transitions, and adding sound design strangeness to your tracks. Animatronix had this to say about the pack, "The sound design techniques I used to create Sonic Wizardry is layering of multiple samples from my found and folly recording library as well as mixed with my synthetic library of sounds. I love to morph and twist sounds into new sounds.  This is where layering different sounds together becomes lots of fun. I also made these samples by using a combination of granular synthesis, S-layer by Twisted Tools,  and synthesis in Omnisphere by Spectrasonics." To get an idea of the thick sound design Animatronix is up to, check out his music below: Download the Sample Pack below. It's all wav files so it can be used with any

The Tax Live Pack and Competition

March 29th, 2016|

In the United States the dreaded tax season is upon us.  As much fun as this subject is, I wanted to put together a fun new Live Pack and competition for all the music makers out there. I got my hands on some recordings of a vintage cash machine and played with some coins to make a fun new Drum Rack. The Live Pack, samples, and Drum Rack is a by Donation/Free download. I also know there are a lot of musicians out there that want an excuse to not do their taxes, so don't worry I got you covered.  I took the drum rack and made a quick little song sketch using an interview with Bernie Sanders. It's the start of a Trap Tax song. To help distract you, and possibly help you, I am doing the first ever in history Tax Break Music Competition.  If you win I will pay to have your taxes done through H&R Block online (up to $80). I'll also match that with $80 worth of live packs from the Subaqueous Store.  Now there is some incentive to use some creative avoidance and
