So I've been toying with sounds for a few weeks now, and can't seem to get ANYWHERE. Even just simple drum patterns are frustrating the hell out of me.
What my problem seems to be is that I understand Ableton and how ableton functions as a host software, but I have absolutely no knowledge on how to use the various tools at my disposal to get the sounds I really want. I'm wanting to produce indie electro/fidget type stuff, and I realize there is no one plugin that will instantly give me the sound I want. I know that I probably need to work on processing basic sounds into what I'm looking to achieve, but I'm clueless as to how to do so.
What I'm hoping is that there are some sites or even books with tutorials or guides on the various effects, filters, or techniques used to achieve certain sound elements. I feel like I have a good understand of how to lay out notes, what elements I need in my tracks, but I need more knowledge in basic production techniques like compression, distortion, etc.
I may be asking this on the wrong board, and if there is a better message board out there to check out I'd love any suggestions. Hopefully the above makes some sense and someone can help me out...thanks
