Lasers, Swoops & Sirens! [FX Rack Essentials]
My buddy purchased a laser/siren pedal and I thought "that's just the thing we should make in Ableton!" I've attached it below for Live 12 Suite and you can follow along with the video above!
I think I'm going to turn this topic into a whole course, thoughts?
This is a subject I just can't get enough of! Humanising drums, despite the genre, is such a tricky tightrope to walk, for us producers/beatmakers it's starts at sound selection but there's so many things I've picked up from being a drummer for 2/3's of my life that just make sen...
Low-poly DnB, Liquid Jungle, Retro Ambient Beats...
There are a tonne of titles for this genre, all I know is it's nostalgic and I love it! You can grab the frozen project, stems, chords and presets below (If this is your first time downloading chords for the modded expressive chords device, make sure to search for the original post too to get th...
Mick Gordan-Eat Your Heart-out!
THIS - WAS - SUCH - A - BLAST!!! I really think it has never been easier to get that Metal/Rock sound in the DAW (without having to touch a guitar) - this was super exciting, I really enjoyed it - Would you want to see more from this genre or plugin in the future?(Grab the stems below)
Future Garage: Returns!
Another deep dive into the realm of Future Garage, I really dig this vibe and if you do too, let me know - it's always a welcome adventure! Live 12 Suite Project Available below :)
EVERYTHING BASS!
This was a biiiiig in-depth tutorial on getting your bass loud & proud in the mix! I also used the HC Boomy Bass throughout this video which is our Patreon's new Bass device - enjoy!
Let's Chat, I want to know what YOU want to see...
PHEW! The last couple of weeks have been hectic! I've been on the road doing some live sound work, playing drums, and doing way too much networking for someone whoโs naturally pretty introverted.Finally, I'm back in the home office and ready to bulk-film some new content. After revisiting ...
We did it! - Here's my Top 15 Resources from The Patreon! ๐
WOW!! 300 posts on Patreon. 405 videos for YouTube. 5 years of sharing, building, and experimenting. ๐คฏ I thought it was time to look back at some of my all-time favourite episodes, templates, devices, and projects. Which ones have helped you the most โ and what episodes would you love to see re...
An Extension to Expression!
Slik P and I lost our minds trying to get this to work (and AbletonDrummer had already laid a lot of ground work with the idea too!) We hope you enjoy the device, it most likely only works for Mac users running 12.2+ Live Suite but I've also included MIDI Progressions and Expressive Chord Preset...
MORE Distortion
In this week's episode, I tried to get those CRUNCHY guitars for some Trap/Metal crossover-vibes! I thought it was a fun experiment to try to replicate that of Axure's clean guitar and Neural's Dirty Amp's, so here's a start! You can grab today's project in Suite 12.2 and the...
In what ways could I best support you over the next couple of weeks?

Textures Made Easy (Device Attached!)
Botanica seems like the producers genre! You can use the device below to get those "drippy droppy" textures as you'd like!
Tight Punchy Drums
A drum tuning problem, solved! (Let me know if there are any issues with the attachment below for Live 12 Suite, normally I'll upload a zip but we should be good with just the ADG.) ๐ค๐ป
HipHop The Oldschool Method!
Grab the stems here plus some oldschool samples: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/of6s246w5yrgnwlblc30r/Dionne-Flip-Paytch-Project.zip?rlkey=h007jb6platb4anr9knjko2cd&st=ym5r9qbm&dl=0
An extension to yesterday's episode, automation and lasers...
A little closer look at some alternative ways you can create these pad textures and how it can spring board the start of your session! There's a pack of textures already exported for you below, too! :)
This was super fun!
Try this out and see what ambient textures you conjure up! I'd love to know if you have stumbled on any whacky techniques to creating new sound design elements or melodic inspirations? Perhaps I can feature them in an episode! Come back tomorrow for a pack of textures using this technique and a ...
It's Cheesy - But Oh So Fun!
A year ago I made some Nu-Metal in the DAW as a challenge and I had an absolute riot with it! With a lot of new bands popping up with that "old" sound, it was definitely time to revisit this madness. Lots of goodies coming to the Patreon as of next week, so enjoy this frozen project (and ste...
Sometimes you don't need words!
This was a therapeutic one to make and part of a 2 track release, as always let me know what you'd like to see in future and I'll try my best to cater! You can find the stems and project, as always - below :) Scheduled for release on all streaming platforms very soon!
PS Pads!
Overwhelmed with how many of you enjoyed this episode! I had to keep the vibe going, so I whipped up 10 PlayStation-inspired pads to add to the Just Chill Sounds collection. This one's all about those lush, dreamy textures! I've been having a blast exploring Serum 2 and learning a ton in the...
A Crossroads For Creativity...
(I actually thought this was posted on Thursday, apologies!) This was as fun introspective one, thanks to all that gave their opinions! I've attached the audio session and stems for this one (as I might release as a beattape!) for the curious!
Just Chill Things...
So with today's video I wanted to also bring you a pack of sounds for SERUM 2, I was actually working on some chill sounds for Serum when Serum 2 dropped, so here's a start for the new VST! There's so much to cover so this is just scratching the surface with a familiar format.I plan to e...
A Westcoast gift...
Grab the template and the project, below! (Live 12 Suite)
That was fun! (Template Download Below!)
I'm off to LA folks โ๏ธDon't worry, it's business as usual, I'll still be hand - but I figured i'd set the mood right by creating us a Westcoast Template, I created some bass sounds from scratch that I think you'll dig regardless, linked below - enjoy! Celebrated member of...
These tips will extend the life of your "simple" song...
What a legend Side Brain is, huh? That one video he made on "Polyphonic Chord Triggering" completely inspired this episode on how you could take it to the Nth degree! Also, enjoy the "Dream Verb" below. I also find myself coming back to the Microcosm pedal, time and time again but I ...
Dream Verb - Live 12
Inspired by the fun bleeps and bloops of my Microcosm I wanted something that was equally colourful and easy to use inside Ableton! (Compatible for Live 12 Suite only)
Just some old-school fun with things that shouldn't be musical... and a quickie pack!
Today was just one of those days! Not overthinking, not outcome driven, just armed with the question "Can that be a thing!?" It's a fun puzzle to solve when you don't have much in the tank but maybe want to test yourself!A pack of 55 sounds attached below! :)
Today was a fun, reflective, one with vibes to match!
I enjoyed this honest look at some of the downfalls of art - whilst creating art. Curious what the community does to get themselves back into the creative space after a funk, do you just grind it out? Take a break? Something in-between? Share your secrets oh-wise-ones!! Or just download the project ...
Planning For Burnout (And Ambient Reworks...)
Today's video talks about the idea of planing for those burnout moments, the parts of your plan you just can't control and making sure you're banking your music not just releasing as soon as you finish a beat. In this episode I reimagined "i was only temporary" by my head is empt...
Trust The Process...
Sometimes there are set-backs! I experienced some just this week. I was preparing a different video for you guys, ironically around preparing for roadblocks as you plan out your 2025, hahaha! So, I decided just to document one of those "raw" kind of beat sessions, like the old days. Not too ...
Inspired By... Video Games (again!?)
I don't know SoundFontGuy but when I saw his "GuyEngine" VST themed on the PS1, I just had to dive in and have some fun on stream. I think it's a fun challenge! Create a song in the order of "Disks" with GuyEngine, you can't move onto a new Disk until you've completed...
