Festive Ableton Sound Design Tutorial - Turn Santa's Ho into House!

http://www.pointblankonline.net/blog/festive-sound-design-tutorial-turn-santa... - Danny J Lewis gets in the festive mood in this tutorial where he creates a bumping house beat by using just 3 yuletide source sounds (and absolutely nothing else!) - a chime, sleigh bells, and of course Santa's unmistakable Ho Ho HOOO!

Want to have a go yourself? download the samples here: http://www.pointblankonline.net/blog/festive-sound-design-tutorial-turn-santa... ... and be sure to come back and show us how you got on with a link to your beats!

You can learn techniques such this and much more on the Ableton Live Sound Design course which launches in January 2012. Follow the link for the full course brochure: http://www.pointblankonline.net/ableton-live-sound-design.php

I'm thinking about doing the Ableton course next year when I get some money. Do you regularly update the course and do you recommend this course for someone who is ok with Ableton?

Also I'm into hip hop production but I don't use logic does your course teach people how to produce other genres outside dance music?

[pointblankonline]

@beatnik8tv which Ableton course specifically are you looking at? We cover a variety of styles on our courses depending on which you pick - some are specifically focused on one genre like the Pro Prodcucer Courses, some are more general and teach all sorts of genres. The best thing to do to find out more is to get in touch with our course advisor on +44(0)20 7729 4884 or luke[at]pointblanklondon[dot]c­om. He will be more than happy to help.

Thanks

It's like in another tuto i have where you learn to create an entire drumkit from your sampled voice, in fact you can do so much things with just a few samples, even in poor quality ^^
