Welcome to the series of tutorial videos for beginners looking at synthesis and sound design within Ableton’s analog. The purpose of this free course is to enhance your confidence and knowledge not only within analog but of sound design as a whole. To achieve this we will be covering the fundamentals of synthesis and quickly demonstrating them within Analog. In this way even if you are not using analog you will still benefit from the knowledge because the core concepts are applicable to all synthesis out there. If you are bran new to synthesis and want to learn to manipulate and create your own patches, or even if you are somewhat familiar with Analog or sound design but are looking to step up to the next level, you have come to the right place.
While opening a synth and viewing the all the various virtual components for the first time can be daunting, the concepts of synthesis are actually quite simple, intuitive, and easy to learn. The important thing to focus on when learning is to be able to apply new techniques in a musical way. Practicing application of your studies will help you retain concepts and connect all of your learning to the real world – not to mention keep you creative. EDMtutorials.io is committed to providing a framework for learning that fosters this creative process within you.
