As always much respect for the sterling work you guys are doing, much appreciated. I like this style alot and seems like its becoming more predominant in all the new productions coming out in recent times. If you guys can a tutorial of this nature together, that would be super awesome.
You know, Ryan should really get paid to be on Sonic Academy. Come on, right? Everyone here knows him, from experience he’s a nice and reliable guy, and he really knows what he’s doing. Not to mention it would draw a huge crowd to Sonic (1,000,000+ views on his YouTube page).
Now I would subscribe for that! If only so I could tell him to shamelessly promote our EP…
Also if you really like Madeon, there’s a Deadmau5 ustream on there where he talks about how to make that sound. It’s a really interesting way to make complextro (mind you, Skrillex, Zedd, and others don’t use it, but it’s still interesting).
Basically you make 10-12 instances of different synths all playing the same chord (so some are basses, some are chordal things, arpeggios, etc…) And then you use Ableton’s randomness generator to flip randomly between all of the different things in the stack, varying the length of each clip slightly. You get that very glitchy but linear feel (apparently).

yeah I actually asked him about doing tuts for sonic academy back in the day… he’s an excellent resource and great producer!

I can’t find the video. Do you have a link to that, or is there a tutorial somewhere that shows how to fire random instruments from the Ableton random generator? I can figure out how to fire random clips, but I want to fire random instruments. Thanks.

Here is the video where he talked about the technique he used…
Not really. It is if you just randomly through samples willy nilly and hope that something sticks, but if you’ve got a really great chord progression, and you just rythmically jump between different expressions of that chord progression, I would hardly call that cheating.

I dont think it’s cheating… it’s simply another technique to make a song… besides its not like if you throw a bunch of **** in ableton youre going to come out with something great anyways.
