Each and every Friday, we're proud to open the doors of our music school in Central Square for a FREE seminar, demo or meet-up. Hell, we'll even throw a classical music concert or two. What's in store this week? Let's find out:
Kicks & 808's:
In this workshop, we will explore different methods of synthesizing kicks and 808 basses. We will build up sounds from scratch using conventional software synthesizers as well as dedicated "kick synths". Once the sounds are constructed, we will discuss several methods of processing them including compression, saturation, bit crushing and downsampling. The discussion will also touch on the pros and cons of synthesizing kicks and 808s vs. sampling them.
