This week Chris catches up with internationally renowned dj and producer Patrice Bäumel for a relaxed chat about where it all started right through to where he's heading next.

Following his 2017 critically acclaimed 'Balance' album and awesome remixes of Depeche Mode, Cubicolor and Underworld, we find out what initially got Patrice into the electronic dance scene, his minimalist stripped back production techniques in Ableton, along what his un-regimented and improvised philosophy when arriving at a new club to play live.

Ableton Live is packed with a ton of stock plugins that can be used to increase the quality of your mixdowns. Thorough understanding of everything that Ableton Live offers, however, is required to fully utilize these plugins and push them to their limits.

DRONAR Brass is the seventh module in Gothic Instruments’ hugely popular atmosphere creation series for Kontakt and brings a distinctively different sound to the product line.

Despite beginning its journey as recordings of a concert brass group in an English church hall, with DRONAR Brass what you DON’T get is a brass sample library. What you DO get are organic, evolving atmospheric pads and pulses with a rich brassy core that can convey a mood of peace as well as heroism. A soundtrack from a steampunk brasstopia where synths are made of brass and run on steam power...

Hauntology - a massive 3.2Gb of organic electronic music samples from acclaimed composer and producer Si Begg. The library is full of amazing abstract, melodic and percussive loops as well as weird effects, sweeps and tonal textures.

Discover nearly 7 hours of individually flavoured, ghostly and ever-evolving drones, packaged neatly into 79 of the kind of audio files that you can never have enough of.

In many ways, Aberrant Drones is the sister library of the Augmentation Elements library, as it provides you with the creative tools required to augment your sound design. Whilst the Augmentation Elements library arms you with tools such as whooshes, risers and stings, allowing you to sweeten specific elements of your sound design, the Aberrant Drones library allows you to augment the mood of an entire scene.

We’ve been through the loft at Noiiz HQ to bring you a collection of dusty cassette players, vintage polaroid cameras, broken amp switches and even our trusty old PC mouse. Perfect for creating glitchy and detailed percussion, video sound design and incidental effects ... and also strangely satisfying to listen to on their own. C-lick!

There are a variety of ways that FL Studio allows you to write drums. You can use a drum machine and write within the piano roll, one shot samples and write within the step sequencer, or even work with audio directly in the playlist..

In this tutorial, Nasko will focus on the most common, basic way that FL Studio users can write their drums: The Step Sequencer. He will start by making a basic house beat to showcase the features of the sequencer. Then he will make a half-step Dubstep beat using the playlist and sequencer together.
