Verse, chorus, A-Section, B-Section, breakdown, bridge, modulation, recapitulation… I get so many questions about the various ways we can structure and present our ideas. And it's true: how we guide our audience through our story is as important as what the story is about. So in this class, we'll talk about structuring our pieces; when, why, and how, for maximum impact. Don't miss it!

Early modular synthesizers that once took up entire rooms are now available at our fingertips with modern DAWs. Though software synths often use the same knobs and sliders as the originals, all the controls can be confusing. But you can crack the code and demystify synths with these tutorials from sound designer and engineer Scott Hirsch. Learn about the building blocks of synthesis (sine waves) and how you can build more complex tones with additive synthesis. Then discover how to sculpt your sound with filters and envelopes and create a number of example synth sounds, including a synth lead, a rich pad, a drum sound, and a synth bass. Along the way, Scott shares specific techniques for synth programming using software synths from Arturia, as well as Logic Pro and Ableton Live.

The Faust programming language provides a generic way to implement signal processing algorithms for sound synthesis and processing towards professional audio applications. Thanks to its architecture system, Faust can be used to generate a wide range of ready-to-use elements such as audio plug-ins (e.g., VST, AU, etc.), externals for other computer music environments (e.g., ChucK, Max/MSP, PD, CSOUND, SuperCollider, etc.), standalone applications, mobile apps, web apps, etc. Additionally, it is a great tool to make DSP engines embeddable in larger projects.

Hosted at Studios La Fabrique, this series gives a revelatory look into how one of history’s most innovative engineers sets up his multi-track sessions for mixing. Using a Pro Tools session without audio, we focus purely on Blake’s track layout, routing, and signal chains. He discusses fundamental differences of achieving desired results from hardware vs. plug-ins, digital gain structure, and overall loudness, then shows all of his inserts and their parameters used on channels for drums, samples, percussion, bass, guitar, strings, and the mix buss. He also explains the roles of his extensive number of effects tracks, unveiling his creative plug-in combinations used for delay, spatial enhancement, reverb, modulation, tape saturation, and cassette emulation.

We're thrilled to release our first ever series with producer and engineer Kieron Menzies! This four-part instalment explores the creative process behind Lana Del Rey's 2015 single ‘High by the Beach’. Kieron recounts the journey of writing, producing, and mixing the record, which entailed collaboration with Lana, songwriter Rick Nowels, and other musicians. He explains how he took the artist's vision into account and aimed to sonically translate it through a hazy, lo-fi aesthetic that fuses hip-hop and psychedelic traits. You'll learn how he programmed beats and bass lines, tracked vocals, arranged parts, and used a variety of creative mixing techniques to craft the distinctive sound of 'Honeymoon', the album. Aside from focussing on this project, Menzies covers his hybrid setup, compares analog and digital summing, and shares his philosophy on being innovative while staying loyal to a concept.
