This video goes into more practical applications of Frequency Modulation synthesis. The importance of simple ratios between the Carrier and Modulators is stressed. The techniques are shown on the Operator Synth in Ableton Live, but can be applied on any synth that includes FM.

This is the first of 3 videos covering frequency modulation and the Operator synth. This Was made in a previous version of Operator but the concepts and techniques are still very valid. These videos were made to go along with my Advanced Production in Ableton Live, but didn’t make it into the course, so I thought everyone could benefit here on youtube and my blog( http://loudonstearns.berkleemusicblog… ) instead!

This is part 2 of a 10 hour long high definition tutorial video series on how to write electronic music, from scratch!

All aspects are covered…. basic and advanced synthesis… sampling… progression… mixing… everything is explained in depth as I construct a tune while you watch. I talk to you like your sitting next to me, thinking out loud, cracking jokes and moving at the right pace, rather than focusing on boring shit.

My goal is to get you producing good music as fast as possible.

I’ve been performing electronic music around the world for years, and have much experience in production and the electronic music industry, I’m not just some guy who knows how to use a computer.

The rest of this series is available to special members of my personal website, you can check it out here.
