Syllabus

  • Collision
    • First up: Collision!
  • The External Instrument
    • Last but not least, let's take a look at this little oddity. It is surprisingly useful if you are into modular synthesis or any other kind of analog gear.
  • Racks
    • I've hinted at the power for racks for a while now, so let's get down to business and learn how to use these to make amazing sound design patches.
  • The Ableton Live Samplers
    • Next let's look at the samplers included in Live, and how to make dynamic sounds using samples and samplers.
  • Wrap Up
    • That's it for now! Let me leave you with a few more things...
  • Sound Design Basics
    • Sound Design is the art of manipulating synthesizers to generate your own sounds. In this section we will look at the basic principals of sound design, and start crafting our very own sounds.
  • Impulse
    • Next let's look at the Impulse instrument in Live 11.
  • The Wavetable Synth
    • The newest synth we have in Live 11 is the wavetable. If you are looking to make big dubstep bass synths, or any growly sound, this is for you.
  • Operator
    • Now we get to start having some real fun. Operator is one of the most versatile instruments we have in Live 11.
  • Electric
    • Next, let's make some electric piano and Rhodes Organ sounds with Electric.
  • The Ableton Live Instruments
    • In this section we will look at the common principals that all the instruments have, and then dive into each instrument one-by-one.
  • Working With Live’s Instruments
    • First let's dive into Live's instruments and learn how to work with them on a general level, and then next we will focus in on each one.
  • Introduction
    • Welcome to Ableton Live 11! Let’s jump in with some basics.
  • Live's Analog Instrument
    • The Analog instrument is a great place to start because it lays out all of the elements in a relatively simple way. After we master this we can go on to the more complicated instruments.
  • Tension
    • Next let's explore more physical modeling with Tension.
