Experimental Sound Design Workflows in Reaktor | with Chris Gear | December 16th
SEE EVENT DETAILS
If you've always wanted to use Reaktor in your music but find it daunting or overwhelming, this is a fantastic opportunity to see how to get started in a way that can give you immediate and relevant results. In this online workshop, you will be introduced to new workflows that can provide you with truly limitless sonic potential, regardless of what kind of music you make. From unique glitch elements and endless drones to mangling beats and transforming vocals in incredible ways, we will guide you through the basics of starting to incorporate more experimental elements into your music.
We will focus on a few specific tools in Reaktor that are quick and easy to use and understand, once they've been explained. And we will put it all into context with live examples and meaningful insights and countless pro tips along the way. You will leave this workshop with new samples that nobody else has, and the knowledge to make sounds that the world has never heard before, giving you an edge with your sound design and music alike. You will also be able to apply these workflows to other tools in Reaktor to expand your sound design and processing options exponentially.
Topics include:
• Choosing the Right Tool• Using Sample Maps• Capturing Sounds in the Moment• Identifying & Isolating Samples • Simple Processing Outside of Reaktor
Tools we will be using the most:• Space Drone• Skrewell• Metaphysical Function• Reaktor User Library
