Course description

Join sound designer Bluffmunkey as he breaks down subtractive synthesises to it's component parts, showing you what makes subtractive synthesis unique, and how to get the most out of the synths you own. This is the perfect way to start truly understanding subtractive synthesis and sound design. Marry this with our fourth coming series on each of the major softsynths, new and unique sounds will now be only a few knob turns away. Covering everything from oscillator types, filters and envelopes to modulating your sounds using LFO's and modulation envelopes, there's nothing you won't know about subtractive synthesis after this! Finally just to finish up we take 4 key elements - Drums, Bass, Leads, and pads and textures, with Bluffmunkey showing you how to go about constructing each of these sounds.
