Very informative and smart. Thanks
Super tutorial, thanks a lot for this! May I suggest one thing? In 430 you name the notes of the minor scale incorrectly. It´s not D#,G# and A#, but Eb, Ab, and Bb in the C minor scale. I know this sounds a bit squeamish since they are the same key on a keyboard. But I think, it is better to use the correct terminology. Once people understand musictheory further, the notes in question relate to harmonic functions. The knowledge of these is not fundamental in modern music, but advantageous for creating own compositions which may want to expand into other territories. Sorry, I do not want to appear a smartalec, but I think there a benefits of doing this right.
Great tips, love the way P-LASK explains things.
thank you for very useful tips. downward expansion is superuseful for Moog DFAM. i also find that FabFilter MB can give more control and visual info if needed.
Wow. Very useful tips and deep learning into Live. Opens a lot more possibilities when tweaking sounds, and all with stock plugins… Thanks !
