Ableton Forum

I've been noodling away and just finished my 13 part tutorial series on Dubstep bass using NI's Massive synth.

It also uses Ableton Live 8 and another series I have made covers a lot of useful information regarding side chain compression and sub bass.

hey man

just watched the part 2 - layer and filter side chaining

nice clear narration man, you explain things well but in my opinion you need to let people hear a bit more of what is going on with the audio throughout the tutorial -

there is hardly any audible examples of what the techniques sound like

gonna watch the rest

cheers

Thanks for the feedback buzby, it's a working progress I noted that after the ableton side chain series and played a lot mroe audio and examples in the more recent dubstep series. Please keep letting me know what you think though as without feedback I'll never get better


Thanks for taking an interest.

no worries man

i just watched part 1 and i really like your clear, thorough and thought out explanation of your tutorials - as i said before, a bit of a pause in the narration here and there so people can hear the results of your working process would be great

anyway - i ll take a look at the dubstep series later as you ve mentioned that this has more audio

this makes feel like i should learn how to use that paypal account that i opened and never used - i hope someone donates as these are great tutorials in my opinion

any chance you will be doing such thorough tutorials on the workings things like sampler etc?

keep up the nice work man and thanks

yeah! thank you

Just watched the Tuts and quickly donated afterward(That's how good they were). They are well explained and very useful, even if you don't make dubstep.

I bought the Native Instruments Komplete 6 about two months ago and have been looking for a good NI MASSIVE tutorial. Aside from the tutorials on NI's website, this has to be one of the best ones I've seen thus far.

Please keep them coming..

If they are useful to other people I hope they donate as well.

Thank you TST!

Cheers Frank003

I'm sure I already said thanks for donation personally but I'm glad they were that useful. I look forward to making the next series
