You understand the basics of synthesis and have mastered the Subtractor, you’ve learned about the Malström’s unique “graintable sythesis” technique, and now all you need to know to master the Malström is to understand its special filters, shaper, and mods.

To those who have been following along since week one of Synth School, you’ll see that I’m picking up the pace a little bit now that you’ve built a foundation of knowledge. Believe me, we’ll need this pace starting next week when we tackle the Thor synthesizer!

But rest assured, by the time we’re done you’ll know every synth’s capabilities, strengths, and routings. And most importantly, you’ll be able to think of a sound you want to create, know which synth will get you that sound, and set about making it with skill.

Seasoned music producer and Norah Jones collaborator, Peter Malick, packed up his studio and moved it home to his living room and garage.  For its maiden session he brought in indie artists Amber Rubarth, Courtney Jones, and a veritable A-List of players from the LA singer-songwriter scene. On Peter’s first day in the new space and first day on Record 1.5 we rolled cameras to capture the new ’studio’ in action.

In this video singer-songwriter Courtney Jones records her latest song, “Enemy Fire,” with Peter. The studio stretches through the entire house from the living room where the piano is set up, the den which has an unconventional drum kit, and the back room where Peter has run cables for a make-shift control room.

You can download the final mix of this song here:

In the second installment of my “Synth School” series I’ll be staying on the Subtractor synth but looking at the Filter sections, Amp Envelope, Filter Envelope, and Mod Envelope sections. The masters of synth production are masters of these tools. Something as simple as a Low Pass filter when paired with the right chord progression can lift the entire club crowd into a frenzy. The proper Amp Envelope can bring out the vibe in your song. These are powerful tools to conveying and even evoking strong emotion from what sometimes are rather sterile starting melodies or chords.

As always, I encourage you to play around with them on your own to get a feel for how they behave and interact with each other but today I’ll walk you through each slider and button and show you a little of my own experimentation.

This week I’m going to show you one of the most tried and true methods we have to add stereo width and depth to our mixes: The Haas Affect.

Named after Dr. Helmut Haas for his early research into the effect, the Haas Effect essentially uses short delays to fool your brain into perceiving a stereo sound from a mono source. In mixing we can exploit your brain’s gullibility to carve out wide stereo fields and provide our mixes enough room for center elements like lead vocals or bass guitar.

I’ve made a combinator patch that accompanies this tutorial and it can be downloaded here:

Kong didn’t just redefine how you design drum sounds in your Reason and Record productions… it redefined your sound processing in general, thanks to Kong’s ability to be routed as an external effects device. Doing this gives you access to use Kong’s built in effects like the Transient Shaper, the Analog Tape Echo or the Snare Rattler on other audio tracks or Reason devices. In this week’s episode I’ll show you how to wire up Kong like a Send/Return effect into your mixer.

If you’ve got a hardware effect device that you just love… maybe it’s a lo-fi effect you can’t live without… or maybe it’s a Lexicon 960L… you can wire these effects into Record’s FX sends and Inserts to process audio tracks and devices. This week I show you the literal “ins and outs” of using external FX with Record and how to make them a permanent part of your song for exporting and archiving.
