A Free Ableton Live sound design course just for you

Hey Music Producers,

Do you feel overwhelmed every time you try designing a sound with a synth or sampler?

If so, let me offer you a metaphor that might help.

Let's say somebody gave you a model house made of Legos. In addition, they gave you a pile of Legos with enough pieces to create your own house but you don't know how to build a house, even if it is just Legos.

So what do you do first?

Naturally, you start to take the model apart so that you can understand the pieces and see how they connect with one another.

To learn a synth or sampler, you gotta do the same thing: break it down into its individual components. Once you know the fundamental components, using a synth or sampler gets a whole lot easier. Sound design overall will get a lot easier, too, because you'll see those same components show up again and again on different devices.

A free course to help you learn these fundamental components

I'm beyond excited to announce Simpler Sound Design. This free video course will teach you how to use Simpler, Ableton Live's fundamentals-focused sampler. You can sign up for free on my website and get started right now.

Simpler is a great device to start learning sound design with. I call it a fundamentals-focused sampler because it includes the essential components you find on nearly every instrument device in Ableton Live: filters, LFOs, and envelopes.

Additionally, Simpler has an easy to understand signal flow that makes it effortless to understand the relationships between these different components.

A simple device that creates some complex sounds

My favorite part of Simpler Sound Design is the ending. In the Projects section, I demonstrate some cool tricks you can do with Simpler from using only the filter to create an electric piano all the way to transforming Simpler into rudimentary granular synthesizer. If you feel like you've got a great grasp of Simpler already, you may want to sign up just for those alone.

I can't wait to see you in there!

Til next time,

ZW
