In this tutorial, I demonstrate how to create ambient sounds using 32 instances of Paul Stretch. I start by selecting sounds from the Triton plugin and adding random reverbs for depth. Each instance is then sampled using different keys, lengths, and stretch amounts, resulting in a varied and powerful drone sound. By layering these instances and adding simple melodies, you can create a thick atmospheric dance track.

In this video, I demonstrate an interesting technique for creating ambient pad sounds using the sampler in Bitwig. I start by recording sample material from old synthesizers and then load them into the sampler. By utilizing cycles mode, voice stacking, and modulation, I am able to create unique and evolving pad sounds with ease.

In this video, I discuss the controversial subscription system of the Current synthesizer and my personal thoughts on it. I then proceed to demonstrate how to create a pad sound using the synthesizer's newest update, utilizing various wave shapes and filters, as well as effects like chorus, delay, and reverb. I also mention the possibility of future tutorials focusing on bass sounds using Current.

In this video, I discuss my thoughts on the granular engine in the synth and how I miss having a record button. I demonstrate how I use my vocals recorded in a DAW to create a pad sound, adjusting the pitch and experimenting with various settings. I also showcase the use of wave tables, a morphing filter, LFOs, and effects like reverb and delay to create a textured and evolving sound.

In this video, I talk about the resonator device in Bitwig Studio, which is like an EQ but can do a lot more. Someone asked about creating an 808 kick drum, and I show how to do it using the resonator. I explain the synthesis method for an 808 kick drum and demonstrate how to create a sine wave burst, use an ADSR envelope, and mix it with the resonator output to achieve the desired sound. I also show another use case for the resonator, which is using it to create melodies or chords from a drum loop. By setting different octaves of the resonator bank to different notes, you can create unique melodies. Lastly, I show how to use the resonator to add tonality to vocals and create pads. Overall, the resonator is a versatile device that has a lot of potential for creative sound design.
