If you're looking to give your productions that special touch by way of unique sounds and/or effects, this Notice Instrument video course is for you! Veteran Groove3 instructor Thomas Cochran shares a host of ideas and techniques you can use to help your tracks stand out in a big way, all within the world of Native Instruments plugins. Whether it's simple but effective ideas like applying modulation and stereo movement to a sound, or more involved processes like resampling, layering, MIDI editing, and others, you'll learn plenty of ways to help inject new life into your sounds, giving your productions that all-important edge that's necessary to make a memorable impression. These Native Instrument sound design videos are for those with a basic familiarity of Native Instruments plugins.

Thomas begins with some tips on improving the sound of simple patches by way of rhythmic effects, modulation, and stereo movement. Even something as pedestrian as a tremolo or flange effect can provide a patch with a unique sonic footprint that'll take it from plain to interesting. Then, learn how to create a custom "lo-fi" effects rack with Guitar Rig 6 and use it to transform sounds with and imbue them with vintage vibe and character.

Next, discover how you can use resampling and pitch-shifting to reimagine stale digital piano instruments as fresh, lively vintage instruments - a completely customizable process that allows you to create a tailor-made sound for any type of production. After this, Thomas covers the idea of layering, demonstrating how to create lush, complex sounds without muddying up the track and leaving plenty of room for a lead vocal or other featured instrument.

Many more ideas follow, such as creating custom guitar samples with PICKED NYLON (improving realism via creative MIDI editing, embellishing the sound via processing and resampling, etc.), layering samples (using pitch-shifting and other effects for unique tones), building customized drum breaks (from KOMPLETE drum libraries and hardware-emulated effects), and more!

This Native Instrument sound design course is the perfect way to help break out of the VI/plugin rut in which many people find themselves. The techniques learned in these NI video tutorials will quickly take your productions to the next level and allow you to brand your tracks with your own recognizable sonic stamp.
