Rheyne - Studio Tour and Lighting

Published on May 6, 2017 Rheyne

"Here's a little rundown of the current setup, and an overview of how the lighting works with Ableton​ and an Enttec​ DMXIS, including some closeups of the plugins in the Ableton session.

Much like the music in the "live jams", there are no pre-recorded lighting cues. Each instrument in the studio is connected to its own fixture, which only lights-up when that instrument makes a sound. Feel free to ask questions in the comments!

How To Make An Analog Kick with Tobi Neumann

Published on Jan 12, 2016 DJ TechTools

"Tobi Neumann shares a tutorial on making fun analog kick bass drum with a simple set of modular synthesizer gear; recorded at Riverside Studios in Berlin."

At first you might think that's a heck of a lot of work to make a drum sound, but listen to how the pitch modulation after 4:16 takes it to the next level. This video does a great job showing the versatility of a modular synth in making drum sounds with a single oscillator, filter and some modulation sources.
