This video, by Andy by way of Tom Cosm, is the first of a series of three tutorial videos on track construction in Ableton Live.

It’s designed to teach you ways you can approach writing a track, from start to finish. It covers topics such as Sound Design, Building Loops and Section Construction, Arrangements and Progressions, and Mixing.

Explains Cosm:

In this video, I start by writing a loop, made up of pads, playing a chord progression, then percussion, bass and finaly a lead instrument. This loop becomes my first hook. From there I strip it back to create a progression from intro, to a groove, then into the first hook.

Arthur July demos the ARP Quartet synthesizer.

The ARP Quartet was made by Italian synth manufacturer Siel as the Siel Orchestra. ARP sold the synth as the Quartet.

The ARP Quartet specialized in four synth sounds: strings, brass, organ and piano, and offered 6-voice polyphony.

If you’ve used the ARP Quartet (or Siel Orchestra) leave a comment with your thoughts! Read more…

Tom Cosm offers his tips on using formant filters in Ableton Live:

This video is an answer to a question posted on my forums ( bit.ly/KyumG ) on how to get a good powerful sound out of your formant filter.

I have attempted to explain by relating the oscillator to the human vocal chords, and the filter as the mouth/nasal cavities in hope to show that having a solid sound/oscillation and pitch tonality pre-filter is the secret.

      Most rock journalism is people who can’t write, interviewing people who can’t talk, for people who can’t read. — Frank Zappa
