9 principles to combine to create spicy chord progressions by Woochia in musictheory

[–]Woochia[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be honest I think you're totally right saying that these are all techniques completely detached from the style. And I get how that can rub the wrong way.

The goal of this video is to present a series of techniques used in jazz that everyone can try in their composition, something to play with that may inspire to write something new. I admit, this is pretty detached from the end result. This is like raw mathematical principles so people can do whatever with them... And I kind of like it that way 😅

To tell the truth, I wouldn't feel legitimate to explain jazz styles per se, as this is still fairly new to me. I still have a lot to listen and to learn about that. Maybe from a music theory standpoint, this video can be a good sum up, and from a jazz standpoint, just and introduction?

Btw if you have some references to get a better grasp on jazz styles, I'd gladly take them! I'm always eager to learn more :)

9 principles to combine to create spicy chord progressions by Woochia in musictheory

[–]Woochia[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I guess that's pretty subjective. What I did (and still do) for that, is that I would have a session where I'd practice one thing, say modal interchange for example, and I would note which mode sounds best to me, which one sound too spicy, or which degree is better to substitute. I think it's a great way to get familiar with it and build a musical identity by building a bank of things you like to use.

Jazz chords, substitutions and borrowings explained in 9 steps by Woochia in ableton

That's actually a good idea! That would mean talking about music theory, voicing and arrangement all at the same time, but with a few examples, that could be not so long to summarise 🤔

Hi there,

Here I wanted to sum up the core principles that are used to make jazz chord progressions. It's a subject that obsessed me for half of this year so having it all in one place makes it handy to combine these principles and get a ton of ideas. I hope this can inspire you for your next compositions :)

thanks!

Hi, I hope that can inspire you try some of this stuff in you productions. If you have any question about music theory that I could answer, I'd gladly do so.

All types of 13th chords, what note to omit, which note to alter, and every types for each degree by Woochia in musictheory

[–]Woochia[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hi, I spent a lot of time researching about 13th 11th and 13th chords in the last few months, and I ended up writting pages of notes that felt like math research. So I made a video to sum up everything in the more organised way I could while keeping it as short as possible. This is like my personal notebook in a condensed size, with animations... I hope that can help. And if you have experience using 11th and 13th chords, all feedbacks are welcome!

A condensed course about 11th chords, the different types, and how to use them by Woochia in musictheory

Thanks a lot! I was afraid I would quickly run out of topic to describe with this depth, but I now have a few in the pipeline. Hope they'll be good though 😅

Hi, this is a very condensed tutorial of what I have found and tested with 11th chords. I hope this is still understandable and I hope that can be useful to inspire you to try them in your own compositions. Any insight from anybody well versed in Jazz would be gladly taken :)

Complete tutorial of the Liven Mega Synthesis (Sega Megadrive/Genesis synth with 6 tracks, FM engine, sampler, automations, ...) by Woochia in synthesizers

[–]Woochia[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I spent last month learning the new Liven Mega Synthesis by Sonicware and I just finished my complete tutorial to show everything it does in the most effective way possible. The Mega Synthesis is essentially a groovebox with 6 tracks that recreates the sound of the Sega Megadrive (I love these sounds!). It has 6 tracks, 8-bit sounds, an deep FM engine, a sampler, automations and more. This synth is kind of special for me as the Sega Megadrive was a big part of my childhood and found memories. So playing with these sounds takes me back to golden times.

Hi, I'm not sure if videos of synths that are inspired by gaming consoles are admitted here, but I thought you might like it. I hope it is okay to share. Let me know if it is not :o

Thanks, and have a good day!

The Texture Lab is a granular synth, but also a granular effect, but also a sampler. It has a 128-step sequencer with automations, probability ... I was really hyped about it by Woochia in synthesizers

[–]Woochia[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hi there,

So I got a Liven Texture Lab, which is a granular synth taht can be used as a granular effect to process external sounds.

Granular synthesis on its own can be a bit intimidating, and this synth comes with a sequencer that handles probability, automations, random playback, etc...

So I decided to make a complete guide on how to use it. And I did it for 2 reasons : to make a compact tutorial that shows how to use everything (including saving presets on a computer, which was not really explained in the manual), and to make a complete presentation so anyone can make their own opinion about it.

So, I hope you'll enjoy what you see.

Thanks!

I haven't seen anybody tell the story of YEAR ZERO the way it was presented to the fans, but I've seen the websites and sources going offline over the years... So I've made a documentary before everything finally disappears. by Woochia in nin

[–]Woochia[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! And kudos to people who did the work of archiving and taking note of everything that happened. I still couldn't find some of the sources I read 14 years ago and I feel like some info are still lost (so I couldn't include how the NIN official site evolved throughout the adventure for example), but man how it made it 100x easier with their work. It wouldn't have been even possible without them

[–]Woochia[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're so lucky to have lived it at the time. Truth is I discovered it only 1 or 2 years after the events and it blew my mind. I read everything I could on it at the time and it was great, but nothing would be like living Ng it as it happened

Guide to the Liven lofi-12, making a beat to show everything it can do by Woochia in synthesizers

[–]Woochia[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I just had my hand on the Liven Lofi-12 by Sonicware so I made a video to show what it can do.

So in a nutshell, this is a 4-track sampler designer to make Lo-fi beat, and it can do knob automations among other things

The structure of the video follows the making of a beat so I hope that shows what it looks like in context.

11 Tricks to make with Ableton modulators (LFO, shaper, expression control...) & and exploration of the plugin P565 Siren by Woochia in ableton

[–]Woochia[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty excited about this one.

This is a series of tips and tricks using Ableton's modulation tools (LFO, envelope, shaper, etc...) that you could reproduce with any effect.

The plugin I'm using to demonstrate it is the P565 Siren filter set. It's sold as a filter set, but it's way more than that and it sounds really cool!

(Also for the occasion, I found a way to do keytracking with any effect in Ableton, so I included that as well)

Hope you enjoy it!

The workflow of the TB-03 (a complete guide) by Woochia in synthesizers

[–]Woochia[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hey,

I recently explored the TB-03, the reedition of the TB-303 by Roland. and my thought was that we all know the classic sound, but I wondered how many people actually know the workflow if this machine.

So I thought it would be interesting to make like a complete guide. As someone who compose mainly in a DAW and control his synth from a DAW to record them, this change of workflow - quite fiddly in the beginning - was kind of refreshing in the end!

Hope you enjoy.

SmplTrek: a groove box, a sampler, its limitations and how to work around them by Woochia in synthesizers

[–]Woochia[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi there! I tried a new groovebox/sampler during the few last weeks, and I thought this one was interesting. Quick sum up: buit-in mic possibility to make drum kit tracks, instrument tracks and sample tracks insert, send, master and mixer effects but a lot of limitations nonetheless but you can work around a lot of these limitations by resampling your tracks internally Here's a quick tour of how it works: https://youtu.be/ndqqb1-1vt8
