Hear the harmony in context.
This is the actual September Studio Session project playing in Ableton: drums, bass, melody, pads and chords working together.
A musical world to respond to.
The drums, bass and melody are already there. Build a pad, try chord choices and hear the emotional effect immediately inside the track.
Use the full Ableton project, or take the MIDI and audio parts into another setup. TAL-Noisemaker is used for the pad work, with Windows and macOS VST3/AU guidance included.
The setting, the parts and the guidance.
A practical project for exploring chords and pads without starting from silence.
Ableton project
Drums, bass and melody already in place.
MIDI

TAL-Noisemaker setup

5 project videos
From pad sound to full harmonic movement.
The blank project is already out of the way.
Start by listening to the track without harmony. Build the pad, add one rich chord, introduce movement and develop a progression. Keep what sounds good in context, change a note or inversion, and complete your own version.
Learn harmony by hearing it work.
Five videos move from building the pad sound into chord colour, simple movement, fuller progressions and applying the harmony across the project.
WHAT YOU'LL EXPLORE

One rich chord

What Studio Sessions feels like.
“I’ve not been able to put this month’s assignment down. Fell in love with the sound selection straight away.”
“This is my remix… I’ve added a few new elements in addition to the Pad chords.”
