Letting Necessity Guide Your Sound Design

Written by Nick on February 9, 2010 - 3 Comments
Categories: Uncategorized

This time I’d like to focus on how an instrument or sound effect develops along with the composition. Last week I mentioned that many device presets contain too much frequency content to easily fit into a mix with other instruments. This generally means that judicious use of subtractive EQ is required to tame these complex [...]

    Hi Nick -
  Just finished watching your tutorials for the first time yesterday, and wanted to let you know
how much I gained from them. Your approach to sound design is exactly what I need right now, and I will definitely
be going over them again in the near future. Also, your introduction to the various tools in Live
was also very helpful. Very timely for me…Having been burned in the past, I probably
would not have given the tutorials a shot without that, and I'm very glad I did.
