Dance Pop Tutorial Day 4 pt 2: Pitch Bend Saw Synth [7 Day Song]

http://www.boyinaband.com - head over to my website to see the text version of the tutorial, grab some samples and check out my other blogs and tutorials!

This Reason 5 Tutorial is for producers looking to get into Chart-tastic Dance Pop like Lady Gaga, Ke$ha, Katy Perry, Taio Cruise... basically anything produced by Max Martin or Dr Luke. Incredible producers.

If you use fruity loops or garage band or logic, protools, ableton or any other DAW I'm sure you'll find something in here you can learn from, since I try to explain *why* I do things rather than just *what* I do.

Let me know what you think of this 7 day song!

I'll have you know that's a logarithmic curve, not an exponential one.

[wwwboyinabandcom]

@OfficialCalumChannel So it is! Looked exponential to me at the time. I gotta be more careful where I put my "e"s.

No thor blasphemy!!!!!!!

[Nimrod910]

I went into anaphylactic shock when you made a Malstrom instead of Thor.

[ThePellerhead]

my goodness your tutorials really help me understand how synthesis works and to bring a sound to its potential, thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fagatron97]

when you said Malstrom, I cried for several hours....

[daveOrama922]

is it supposed to sound much louder out of one speaker than the other? sounds that way on both my headphones and speakers so they're not broken

[SuckerSove]

WHERE IS THOR IN THIS VIDEO

[OfficialCalumChannel]

@wwwboyinabandcom Quite right. However, a logarithmic curve is just an exponential curve sideways, so I can understand the confusion.

[fabiuh991]

what about that pitchy noise fx in psytrance tracks, how can it be done?

[themaun]

@fisco130 yeah... i still prefer FL Studio but those mixers inside the combinators are really cool, I got to admit...
