Producing House Music With Ableton Live: Bass and Synth

TA — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 05:08:17 +0000

You asked for more video tutorials, and now they’re back!

My first video in the series was so well received, and so many people asked for a second one… that I’ve decided to do another! This whole video focuses on tips for Synths and Bass for House and EDM in general.

As with my first video in the series, this one is aimed towards beginner to intermediate producers who want to fast-track the production learning curve. However, in some sections I’ve tried to cater for all levels, so I’m sure that even the more experienced producers will also gain a tip or two.

Here’s the scoop on what’s included:

Almost 2 and 1/2 hours of tutorials covering goodies such as:

Making a Bass from any Sample
Tuning Sampled Bass
Bass Keying with the Drums
Bass EQ without an EQ
Bass Layering
Resampling Bass Notes
Frequency Splitting
Sidechaining Bass
Sequencing Basslines
MIDI Resampling
Sequence using your Voice
Filter & Env Modulation
Break it Down
Sub Bass Tips
Sub Bass Kick
Synth Swells
Matching Kick & Bass
Dubstep & Wobble Basslines
Creating a Bass Bomb

Some of the tips involving complex midi routing etc are pretty Live specific, but I’d say that 85% of the content can be applied to any DAW.

BUT WAIT! THERE’S MORE!
It’s currently 33% off for a short time as an intro price. Hurry, act now as supplies are limited! I won’t be undersold!

Fiord – Keen String (Timothy Allan Remix)

TA — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 23:38:52 +0000

Out now on Open Records is a remix i’ve done for the Fiord boys which was one of the winners of their remix contest they held a while back. I’m just waiting for the mastered version and you’ll be able to check a preview and hit up Beatport if you are… keen on it… HARHAR! Beatport link is HERE and the official release info is below:

It is in this party spirit that Open Records is giving our fans both at home and abroad a special Christmas treat in the shape of Fiord’s Keen String Remixes EP, featuring 7 top tracks including four winners from our remix competition earlier this year.

The end result was almost overwhelming and with over 200 entries from all corners of the globe, we decided the standard was so high to declare four equal winners in a variety of styles to join Open Records artists Fiord, GMJ and Eegor on our final release for 2009.

Canadian-born, Melbourne-based producer Timothy Allan immediately impressed with his sophisticated melodic progressive house interpretation, while another Melbourne producer, Blinky, also proved he is a name to watch with a driving progressive techno bomb.

Mexico’s Interactive Noise caught our ear with a big outdoor festival stormer, while New Zealand act Opiuo rounds the EP off in spectacular style with a glitchy, bass-heavy broken beat monster that has been tried and tested at events all over the globe.

Open Records are proud to work with these exciting artists and thanks everyone for their efforts in the Keen String Remix Competition.

Mostly recently, the track has been played across the global, including by one of the biggest DJs in the world, Markus Schulz.

Timothy Allan – ‘Au Naturale’

TA — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 02:41:22 +0000

Here’s a progressive house track which will be making its debut appearance on a forthcoming compilation CD entitled “Exploring Australia” on Baroque Records. Baroque records continue the ‘exploring..’ series from Australia. This one is compiled by Matt Rowan, and it contains a whole lot of Australian based talent including the occasional immigrant like myself

Making an appearance on the CD are the Progress Inn boys, who provided me with a fantastic remix for my “Buckyball” release on Beatgeek Records earlier on, Jaytech who needs no introduction, and even my chum Neon Stereo whom I remixed a while back with the “Discolights” track out on Play Digital. It’s a smorgasboard of Aussie action!

As well as a digital release, there is also going to be a USB stick and a physical CD which you can get your proggy mitts on after the release date. This is scheduled for release at the end of October 2009.

Update: It’s been released as BARQCD016 and is now available in digital and USB stick formats from http://www.baroquerecords.com

Loverush UK! – ‘Fountains Of Youth’ (Timothy Allan Remix)

TA — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 03:59:18 +0000

#2 Billboard US Breakout Chart
#2 Music Week Upfront Club Chart
#4 DMC Update Club Chart
#16 Cool Cut Chart
#18 UK Buzz Chart
#6 DMC World Charts
#7 DMC Trance Chart
#8 DMC House Chart
#4 DMC Commercial
#20 DMC UK Mainstream
#4 DMC UK Club Chart

A while ago I was asked to do a remix for the re-release of the Loverush UK! single ‘Fountains Of Youth’.

At the time I wasn’t aware of who the vocalist was on it, I just thought it was a great track. While I was working on it, I had some crazy Deja Vu. I knew I had worked with the vocalist before but couldn’t figure out where from.

After a bit of the google, I found out that the vocals were none other than the lovely Molly Bancroft (the voice behind Club Anthems such as Gabriel & Dresden’s ‘Tracking Treasure Down’ and Pete Tong’s Essential New Tune Gianluca Motta’s ‘Not Alone’ on BBC Radio 1).

Way back when, I had entered a remix competition for G&D’s ‘Tracking Treasure Down’, a few months before that single was released… which I didn’t win! So now I get a second shot at remixing Bancroft. Ha.

It’s gaining huge support from international DJs including DJ Slang, Suzy Solar, Sapphirecut, DJ Vierro, Johan Gielan, Mazza & Martinelli, Matt Darey, Steve Smart, Menno De Jong, Roger Sanchez, Mark Brown (MYNC Project), Mike Pickering, Mark Robinson (Peppermint Jam), Pedro Del Mar, Aldrin Quek, mark Lewis, Mr Sam and the Sucker DJs to name a few.

There is a dub-strumental, plus a full vocal mix for a total bouncing house selection that caters to whatever type of crowd your playing for.

Update: The US Promotion has started through Sea to Sun Records, keep an ear open and an eye out for this new promo image!

Update Deux: It’s been released on Beatport and featured on the progressive house section. Check it out.

Update Three: It’s been released and promo’d worldwide now on iTunes and Amazon.

Anton Neumark & Re Zone – Transformers (Timothy Allan Remix)

TA — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 01:42:45 +0000

Another tech house remix done for Paul Oakenfolds Perfecto label. This belter of a tune was done by the team of Anton Neumark & Re Zone and mangled by myself. The remix is a dirty tech/progressive remix with a grimy synth riff and plenty of builds to keep everyone happy. Details on these two guys are scarce, or in Russian… both of which make things tricky. Peep the preview below.

Update: Perfecto Black has now released the track on Beatport for purchase.

Timothy Allan and Marcie – ‘Stranger in the Dark’

TA — Sun, 02 Aug 2009 23:31:34 +0000

Included in this fine package is the original vocal mix, an instrumental mix, and a bonus alternative instrumental edit by myself! On top of that you get a few stonkin remixes, including vocal and instrumental versions of the Frank Knight Remix which was tearing it up at this years WMC, plus a second full vocal remix by Joseph Michaels!

As always, check the goodies over at Beatport, and the preview of the original vocal version below.

Ash – ‘True Love 1980′ (Timothy Allan Remix)

TA — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 06:28:03 +0000

With 18 Top 40 hits, Ash are one of the most successful ‘singles bands’ of recent times, consistently bothering our charts and airwaves with their distinctive, lovable and inventive pop. Rumor has it that they’ve sold over 8 million albums worldwide.

I’ve just completed a remix for the bands upcoming single “True Love 1980″, and what a treat it was. It turned out kind of retro with a definite 80’s feel, with bits that could be found in something along the lines of New Order/Depeche Mode/Pet Shop Boys.

This one just spent a month on the DMC charts topping at #11 on the DMC charts.

Update: The remix and dubstrumental are now for sale on Beatport!
