Alright, welcome back to Synth Secrets! In Part 1, we got our heads around the basic idea of synthesis – making sound electronically from scratch. In Part 2, we took a fun trip through history, seeing how these amazing machines evolved from massive contraptions to the powerful tools we have today.

Now, it’s time to zoom back in and start getting our hands dirty with the actual components that make the magic happen. And where better to start than the very beginning of the sound chain: the Oscillator! read more

Hey there again! Glad you’re back for the next step in our “Synth Secrets” journey. In Part 1, we unlocked the basic mystery of what synthesis is – creating sound electronically, building it from the ground up, not just recording what’s already there.

Before we dive deeper into the nuts and bolts of how synthesizers make sound (that’s coming soon, I promise!), it’s super helpful to understand where they came from. Synthesis didn’t just appear out of nowhere! It’s a story of inventors, musicians, engineers, and a constant push to create new sounds. read more

Hey there, and welcome back to our journey into the incredible world of electronic sound creation! It’s time to explore the different flavors of synthesis, the unique ways these components (or entirely new concepts!) come together to make sound.

And for our first flavor, we’re diving into something truly distinctive: FM Synthesis.

When you think of classic 1980s electronic music, those glassy electric pianos, cutting bells, and sometimes wonderfully cheesy synth brass sounds, you’re often hearing the magic of FM synthesis at work. The most famous example? The iconic Yamaha DX7 synthesizer. It sounded unlike anything before it, and for good reason – it used FM synthesis, a completely different approach to making sound than the subtractive synths that dominated previously. read more

Hey friend,

Let’s talk honestly for a minute just you and me, no marketing gloss, no affiliate links, no hype.

If you’re anything like I was when I first got serious about music production and sound design, then you’ve felt the pull. The endless stream of shiny new synths, plugins, effects, sample packs… it’s intoxicating. You start to believe the next thing you download will finally unlock your sound, your workflow, your style.

But here’s something I’ve learned the hard way. Something I’ve seen in countless other producers over the years: read more

We all love music, right? It’s emotional, it’s fun, it can make you dance, cry, or just chill out. But have you ever really stopped to think about why you like a certain type of music? Or what makes one genre different from another? That’s where analytical listening comes in.

What’s “Analytical Listening” Anyway?

Don’t let the fancy name scare you! Analytical listening is simply listening to music with a purpose. It’s about being intentional and paying attention to the details of the music, not just the overall vibe. Instead of just letting the sound waves hit your ears, you’re actively trying to figure out: read more

Have you ever been captivated by the sounds of electronic music? Those shimmering pads, punchy basslines, and otherworldly textures that seem to defy the limitations of traditional instruments? Ever wondered how those sounds are made?

You’ve stumbled into the fascinating world of Sound Synthesis.

It might sound intimidating, like some kind of sonic sorcery locked away in studios and labs. But the truth is, synthesis is simply a set of techniques – powerful and creative techniques, mind you – for crafting sounds electronically. read more
