Hi All,
A reminder that this month's Zoom session will be all about effects.
I'm happy to welcome back Justin Macleod for a third presentation.
Justin writes:
Effects are probably the most fun part of using any DAW or editor.
Certainly, it's the part that pretty much all my students can't wait to
get their teeth into. Audio can be transformed and elevated in weird and
wonderful ways at the touch of a button. Adding effects in the right way
can be the difference between a production sounding rough and raw and it
taking on a professional gloss.
Join me for an interactive exploration of all the different categories
available to producers. Although I'll be using Reaper and touching on
the key presses and work flows that make effects tick there, the
majority of what I'll cover will apply just as well to any accessible
DAW or audio editor, regardless of operating system.
We'll cover:
the effects you don't want anyone to notice.
Adding style with effects, from delays to distortion, from comb filter
colouration to crushing, from reverbs to resonance and reverse echoes.
From trash to treasure: using effects creatively to make something out
of nothing.
the emphasis of the presentation will be guided by whatever you're
interested in. We may touch on drum tuning with frequency shifters,
larger than like vocal processing for jingles, creating alien vocal
effects, both recognisable and unique. We may cover the pumping and
breathing of electronic dance music, the wa wa sound of funk bass, keyed
gating or vocal chops for trap music. We only have so much time before
Peter throws us out so bring your questions and preferences or, better
yet, post them up on the list ahead of time and I'll prepare demos.
See you there,
This will happen next Wednesday, 28 July at 3 PM UK time. As Justin
says, feel free to post questions you'd like him to address to the group.
