Meet Up Scheduled!

RSVP HERE

As short as possible:

Simpler, the little brother to “Sampler” as presented by James Tobin. Compression continued with Mike Stacey. End Game ideas : Templating and how to dial in your live set for the long term at the Walnut Room (map) 7pm 21+ FREE.

Two ways to do this – I chose:

Over a “Rea End”  joke.

LONG VERSION:

Simpler:

Simpler is the lite “Sampler”. James will discuss the difference between samplers and synthesizers and cover all the basics of LFOs, Envelopes, and filters.  This is a critical introduction to advanced sampler ideas. Also, James will introduce synthesis techniques in samplers as well as using field recording in the sampler environment.

Compression Part 2 :

Mike will continue his discussion on compression types and flavors in the Ableton world. There has been some requests for more on sidechaining. This is a great discussion to attend as a primer for our Mastering Workshop (to be held at a professional studio soon!).  If you have questions or want to know what is in the compression tool kit this is your destination presentation.

THE END IS NEAR!

Templates are the end game of live performance in Ableton. Why end game? Well, you need to get your methods and sound dialed in before you can hit this topic.

Chase Dobson and Marc Wei will introduce the topic, discuss the difficulties, and transition to a round table discussion on the idea of templates.

This can not be taught in workshops, no book can be written. Templates are a reflection of each artist’s sound and style.  So we will not close the book on the topic, instead a dialog will be started on one of the most interesting ideas in Ableton.

A good template can allow :

-Endless sets so you stop to load a new set
-DJ your sets as if they were records (or CDs)
-Decrease your CPU tax by examing needs and increasing efficiency (chains+chain selector anyone?)
-Consolidate your effects needs
-Why you render files for performance
-Much more!!!

SPECIAL BONUS MATERIAL!!!

Marc has close to 1000 hours invested in his OHM64 template (no, really), and it kicks a$$!  This template has been ported to the APC40 (others coming). All attending people can have an advance copy of this template (YES FOR FREE! QA help is so loved!).

OMG OMG OMG! We are bringing the Petting Zoo to Artopia. Bobby C, c.db.sn and the Ableton Colorado crew are installing a new Petting Zoo – NOT TO BE MISSED!
