Unleashing the Beast: Exploring Ableton Live 12’s ROAR Audio Effect
Ableton just announced the latest version of Live, which has many amazing new features. The updated UI includes tools to edit and manipulate MIDI and some new effects. Instead of sharing a list of favorite features of Ableton Live 12 like other articles, this article takes a different approach. I am going to dive deep into the new ROAR saturator. What is the ROAR Saturator: And why it's freaking awesome Roar is a groundbreaking addition to music production tools, particularly designed for Ableton Live 12. It offers a fresh take on saturation and distortion effects, aiming for more experimental and dynamic results. Its multi-stage processing sets Roar apart, allowing signals to traverse various saturation curves, filters, feedback, and compression. This architecture facilitates flexible routing and modulation, enabling both musical and technical innovation in sound design. Marco Fink, Roar’s lead developer, stated in an interview that the device is Inspired by the kinetic energy of psytrance and the dynamic soundscapes of Mick Gordon's Doom soundtrack. Roar's development was driven by a desire to break away from the static nature of traditional saturation and distortion effects.
Dynamic Frame Drums For Ableton Live – Free Instrument Rack
When life gets crazy, I find refuge in my creativity. Because of that, I have been deep in music-making these last few weeks. I am working on new tracks for my Shatter Spell music project and wanted a really good collection of Frame Drums and Hand Drums. Luckily I recorded some over the years but never made an easy to use Drum Rack... until now. And like usual, my work is your gain. I created a free to download Drum Rack featuring a few Hand Drums. Check out the walkthrough below: Download the Free Drum Rack The Ableton Live Pack included seven different Frame Drums from around the world. Bendir - is a traditional instrument that is played throughout North Africa, as well as in Sufi ceremonies; it was played, too, in Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia. Bodhran(High and Low) - is a frame drum of Irish origin. The drum goatskin head one side. The other side is open-ended to allow one hand to be placed against the inside of the drum head to control the pitch and timbre. Frame Drum - This was a rawhide frame drum
Free Ableton Live Pack to add texture to your drums
I love adding texture to my track. You'd think that would be through pads and layers of ambient sound design... but no... there is so much more than you can do. That is why I made the Textureal Drums (yes... I know I spelled that wrong). I made this Ableton Live Drum Rack with unique drum sounds from my collection and added effects to give them textural life. Check out this quick video preview I made: Download For Free / By Donation: Grab the Live Drum Rack How I Use It? When I am writing a track, I like to add layers and texture on top of my beat. To do this I create a Trap Beat... or whatever is ????. Once that is going I like to throw in the Textureal Drum Rack. That way I can add sparse, yet interesting hits that add a unique layer to the sound. I find it gives the sound life and makes the beat feel more intriguing. It seems so simple, but it really brings things to a new level. Keep
400+ Free Multitracks To Level Up You Mixing Skills
Are you struggling with your mixdowns? I have definitely run into that in the past and have found the biggest thing to break you out of it is to change your perspective. Shack things up a bit. If your a music producer and your mixing your tracks, you might be hitting a wall with your mix because it's to close to home. Think about it... If you are attached to the outcome and can't get over how rad a synth solo that is, then you might not have fresh ears for the mix. One of the ways to get over that is to mix other peoples music. You know the saying, practice makes perfect. That is why over the last few years I keep coming back to a few sites to download mixes to experiment with. The following list is a collection of sites where you can download other peoples mixdowns and tracks to experiment with. It's great because you can 1. Cambridge - The 'Mixing Secrets' Free Multitrack Download Library I love this site by Cambridge. They released a massive collection of
Custom Wavetables using sounds from Space
I am in continual awe at the huge and mysterious nature of the cosmos. When Ableton Live 10.1 let you add custom wavetables I had the idea of using celestial sounds as wavetables. But before I get started, let me answer the question of how there is sound in space. NASA released a collection of sounds and said this: Some spacecraft have instruments capable of capturing radio emissions. When scientists convert these to sound waves, the results are eerie to hear. In other words, these sounds are either radio wave transmissions or other radiation. They are then translated or processed into sound for human hearing. I went through the Public NASA Sound Library, European Space Agency Library, and a collection of recordings by Don Gurnett at the University of Iowa. These sounds make awesome textural pads or layers for your music. There is nothing like playing with the sounds of the universe. Now that we have that out of the way, let's look at how you can use them with Live's 10.1 Wavetable Synth. MAKING SAMPLES INTO CUSTOM WAVETABLES Live announced the ability
Free Jazz and Blues MIDI Drum Library
I am always looking for inspiration and new musical ideas. As an electronic producer, I have mainly looked at Hip Hop, Dubstep, Trap, and House music for rhythmic inspiration. Last year I started diving more into Blues, Jazz, Rock, and other genres and add that influence. It opened me up to a world of music with a different style and expression. I love what Billy Gibbon said about the Blues: The blues is a mighty long road. Or it could be a river, one that twists and turns and flows into a sea of limitless musical potential. During my exploration, I created a library of Jazz and Blues MIDI Patterns. This way I can drag it into Ableton Live (or any DAW) and use it as a starting point for my drums. I found some great swing, strange meters, and new ideas in these Genres. I went ahead and packaged the MIDI into a free / by donation collection. You can drag these into any DAW and use them in your music. For those using Ableton Live 10+ I created a Live Set
