Flume Sound Massive Synth - Designing the Sound from Lorde - Tennis Court (Flume Remix) We sat down to take a shot at recreating the sound of flume's lead synth in his remix for "Lorde - Tennis Court (Flume Remix)". We're working with our Ableton Live 9 Suite version, Operator and NI Massive.

(Disclosure - You & Me (Flume Remix) style remake Ableton Live only) Since we are big fans of Flume's style, we kept asking ourselves how he does his sound design and melody editing. We figured the best way to find out was trying to remake one of his tracks. So we tried to decide which one of the following great tracks to pick (they are all really cool): Lorde - Tennis Court (Flume Remix), Flume & Chet Faker - Drop The Game, Flume - The Greatest View (feat. Isabella Manfredi), Disclosure - You & Me (Flume Remix). Great song ideas, awesome sound designs, not...

  We received some requests on a remake for Coyote Kisses' track "Revive". We really enjoyed the tune and accepted the challenge to design a remake using Ableton Live 9 Suite and NI Massive - no other third party plugins.

We've put together a couple of tutorials showing the in-depth work on vocal chops, drums, bass and instrument layer shaping.   Grab your copy of this advanced style template here (instrumentals (midis) differ from coyote kisses version):  http://bit.ly/pml_s_tmp_neon   Keywords: Ableton Live Template, .als file download, coyote...

We handed ourselves another production challenge. We listened to the new track "Sparta" by Ten Walls and decided to give it a shot a remake the basic feel and the signature sounds using only Ableton Live 9 Suite (and 2 Ableton Packs: Orchestral Brasses and Orchestral Woodwinds). We worked with 3 grouped stems in this project. Stem 1 for the drumming, #2 for the bass sounds (the bass sound is pretty similar to the bass sound in Ten Walls' 2014 banger "Walking with elephants") and #3 for pads, woodwinds and brasses. So the tutorial below consists more or less equally of...
