Description
This book is accompanied by an exclusive interactive online course including video lessons, walk-through tutorials, and download-able custom device presets of every exercise. In part two of this series, Ableton Certified Trainer James Patrick teaches you how to create your own original sounds from scratch using Ableton Live. Begin by learning the fundamental principles of sound based on the dimensions of sound, and how those dimensions relate to the audio signal processing tools of the modern electronic music studio, Learn professional techniques of compression, EQ, distortion, stereo imaging, and creative effects processing armed with an understanding of how and why these devices are effecting your sonic material. Then, learn the fundamental principles and techniques of sampling, including warping audio within Ableton Live, and creating your own original sampler and multi-sampler instruments within the Ableton software. This includes tuning, looping, layering, slicing, stretching, creating layered composite sounds, and ultimately audio effect racks and instruments that yield professional sounding results. Lastly, learn to build custom sound design instruments that employ granular, physical modeling, and wavetable synthesis armed with a deep knowledge of how these instruments work and best practices for generating amazing results, and use these instruments to develop libraries of original content and apply that content to your own original music. Reviews from experts in the field: Gregory Taylor - Cycling ‘74, Ableton "In a world where books on sound design tie themselves exclusively to specific tools or opt for a historical approach which strands the excited beginner in the present with more of an idea of where “they’ve been” than “where I want to go,” Sound Design for Electronic Music shines in its focus on a well-marked roadmap whose stops are opportunities for play and personal discovery using a collection of commonly available tools. It’s a book written for a time when the landscape is changing and you learn by going where to go. It’s a fool’s errand to imagine covering everything in one place in the current sound design landscape. Instead, Sound Design for Electronic Music gives you a map, a compass, and a list of spectacular roadside attractions and other tours that will aid you at learning how to teach yourself how to learn."Ivo Ivanov - Glitchmachines "JP has done a phenomenal job of covering a deeply complex subject in a creative, thoughtful and inspired way that leaves practically no stone unturned. Beyond being a comprehensive and thorough guide on the subject, this book will no doubt be a truly joyful and enriching experience for anyone interested in diving into the weird and wonderful world of sound design!"Kevin Pooler - LP24 Audio "James Patrick dives into essential and foundational principles of sound, synthesis, and sonic exploration- all within a modern and relevant context. This makes for a fun and practical read as one gains access to an arsenal of tools and techniques for immediate use within one’s own music productions and creative sound projects."Stefon "Bionik" Taylor - Lizzo, Sophia Eris, Maybelline “This isn’t just a technical manual, it’s the ultimate handbook for sound exploration. JP covers everything from theory, to tools, to techniques in this comprehensive guide to the creation of sound. A must have for sound designers, producers, and musicians alike.” About the Author: James Patrick is a music producer, sound designer, live performer, and founding member of the Ableton Certification Team. He graduated with honors from The Institute of Production and Recording in 2003 where he worked with Ableton to help develop the Ableton Trainer Certification Program. After instructing for many years there and at Dubspot in New York City, he started his own private audio production school, Slam Academy. Read more
