In this quick tip, I am going to show you a neat and simple way of running Ableton Live and Traktor on the same computer by using external MIDI software. This scenario would be useful if you wish to add extra loops on top of your Traktor set by triggering Live clips that stay in sync with the Traktor’s master tempo. I am using Ableton Live 8.0.9 and Traktor Pro 1.2.5. Setting Up First of all we need to download a free software called MIDI YOKE. MIDI YOKE is a MIDI Patch Cable driver. It’s a Windows multimedia driver that allows you to connect the MIDI output from one program to the MIDI input of a different program. Mac users already have this functionality in the form of the IAC driver. Once downloaded and installed fire up Traktor, then Live. Go to Preferences by hitting the appropriate icon at the top right next to the magnifying glass. From the MIDI Clock tab check the box with the “Send MIDI Clock” text next to it to activate it. Leave MIDI Clock Sending Offset as... Relative News

Are you familiar with the sensation of falling or a heavy weighted feeling? Ever wonder how to create this sensation audibly but make it last forever? Well if you do then you will learn how to create this really cool effect called the Shepard Tone. Download audio file (step_5.mp3) Named after Roger Shepard, this cool effect relies heavily on psychoacoustics and utilizes the harmonic series in a rather strange way. If you have never heard this effect before then I strongly urge you to sit down the first time you hear it as some people may get slightly nauseous hearing it. This effect is like the audio equivalent of a barbers pole. If you are ready to jump into infinity then lets go! Step 1: Understanding the Shepard Tone Before you can really apply this effect you must understand how it works. The Shepard Tone fundamentally is based on sine waves. You start with a Sine wave say on note A4 which sits at 440 Hz and you have it glissando down to A3 at 220 Hz over a period... Relative News

In the first example, we’ll use volume automation to make a flexible sidechain effect, and in the second example, I’ll show you how to use creative volume automation to give a track room to breathe. I’m using FL Studio, and these tips are useful for all DAWs. Step 1: Setup First, let’s have a listen to what we have right now. Download audio file (01volpad.mp3) If you’d like to learn how to make a sound like this, check out the Reverse Glass Tutorial. But for this tutorial, we’ll begin by adding a volume plugin to the mixer track. I’ll be using FL Studio’s Fruity Balance. Next, create an automation clip controlling the volume level. Step 2: Design Now we have a volume envelope. Let’s zoom in on one bar and draw the shape so that it ramps up from 0 to 100 on each beat. Download audio file (02volpad.mp3) Let’s slice this bar and paint it across the playlist to save us the trouble of drawing this shape a lot of times. Download audio file (03volpad.mp3) Now I’m...

Ever wondered how you can create the catchy lead sound from Ke$ha’s “Tik Tok”? In this tutorial we will give you an in-depth explanation of how you can recreate this killer sound. This includes using several subtle effects which make it a top of the notch lead. We only use Ableton Live and it’s built-in instruments and effects. We’ll explain all of these aspects in detail. But it all starts with… Step 1: Creating a MIDI Track First of all, set your tempo to 120 bpm. Then, create a MIDI track. Name this track “Lower Melody”. On this track you will create the lower voice of the lead. Insert Ableton’s built-in Operator and use the following settings: You need to adjust Operator’s volume envelope. Set the decay to 3.08 ms and the release to 20 ms. Now, you need to select the right waveform, which is a square waveform. So select Square D from the Wave list. Switch the filter on. Keep the default setting, which is Low 12 dB. Set the cutoff frequency to 16.7 kHz, and turn... Relative News

// The Mac App Store has just opened, and the first day was an unqualified success, with the download of over a million apps. What will the app store mean for audio software, and the future of the Mac? We have a look at the audio apps available on Day 1. There has been concern expressed over whether the app store is right for audio. It isn’t the right platform (in its current state) for the sale of plugins. And there is concern about the huge margins Apple make from other people’s software. Yet there are already 76 apps in the “Music” category of the store. There are also fears about whether Apple will make the Mac a closed shop by forcing all apps to be sold through the app store at some point in the future. But that remains to be seen. For now, the Mac App Store is a convenient way for Apple users to discover, install and update software. Let’s have a look at what’s available. By the way, you install the app store on your Mac by doing a standard System Update from the... Relative News

Probably most of you have played computer games or have watched movies, where the music is made with large percussion hits and really low ethnic drums. I remember watching the Warcraft 3 introduction video, where the attack of the orcs was accompanied by smashing drums. I always wanted to capture that sound and in this quick tip I’ll try to explain you some of the techniques I’ve come across in my experience. Step 1: Choose Your Samples Of course, like everything else in MIDI sequencing, the better the samples, the better the result. In my case I’ll be using Quantum Leap StormDrum 2 – a nice library, full of drum samples, that vary from epic low hits to glitches and ethnic finger cymbals. If you don’t own StormDrum 2, don’t worry because all these hints and tips can be applied to other libraries as well – just trust your ears! Okay, so I’ve loaded these samples: Tong Zi Set Chinese Kettle Drums Dynasty O’Daiko O’Daiko Set Brushed Drums Earthquake Ensemble All... Relative News

Twice a month we revisit some of our reader favorite posts from throughout the history of Audiotuts+. This tutorial was first published in August 2008. Have you ever been listening to a song and realized “Hey, I’ve heard part of this before!”. What you discovered is called “sampling”, a process by which part of a song, or a sound, is captured and played back to create a new song. In this tutorial I will show you what you need in order to begin sampling, and some of the techniques the professionals use. Lastly, I will walk you through the creation of a famous Billboard Hot 100 song. We’ll be using Reason and ReCycle for this one, but the principles could be adapted to any DAW. Note: this tutorial contains embedded audio that will not display in a feed reader. Click back to the site to read the tutorial with audio or download the Play Pack at the end of the tut. Introduction So what constitutes a good sample? Well, most importantly, the sample should reflect your personal... Relative News

Twice a month we revisit some of our reader favorite posts from throughout the history of Audiotuts+. This tutorial was first published in October 2008. Have you ever wondered how modern rock bands get that really tight sound? The rhythms sometimes sound too perfect for even the best musicians to pull off. With today’s technology it is possible to easily quantize your audio tracks. This tutorial will teach you how to start correcting your timing by using beat detective and elastic audio in Digidesign’s Pro Tools software. Check out the sample file I recorded for an example of some quantized audio. AudioPlayer.embed("audioplayer_1", { soundFile: "http://d3vvl31cy8gagb.cloudfront.net/80_quantizeprotools/BeatCorrected.mp3", titles: "Quantization example" }); Example of quantization Step 1 To become comfortable with the beat correcting process, it is best to a start off with a guitar track because it has many large transients and peaks within the waveform....
