These Roar Distortion video tutorials are designed for new Ableton Live Roar Distortion users.
After welcoming you to the course, Thomas kicks things off with some ideas for shaping drums with Roar by applying it as a frequency shaper to the drum bus, resulting in a thicker tone with greater punch. You’ll also see how the multi-band mode can be used to shape an 808 sound in unique ways to help set it apart from the other droves of typical 808 sounds out there.
Next, check out some awesome ideas for a distorted stab bass sound by manipulating the feedback control to add some delay-fueled ambience. This is followed by an exploration of modulated, distorted synth pads combined with reverb for a myriad of sound possibilities. Got a stale percussion loop? Learn how to make it solely your own by blending the modulation and multi-band modes on Roar.
