Learn how Ableton Live’s Resonators can be used to design intriguing sounds
Get weird with one of Ableton Live’s lesser-known effects.
It’s not immediately obvious how Ableton Live‘s Resonators effect works. Maybe you’ve loaded it onto an instrument once or twice to see what it does, only to hear otherworldly sounds that seem impossible to tame. The reality is that Resonators can be used to create some seriously harmonic sounds, transforming an unassuming sequence into a unique, shimmering part.
In this Ableton Live Tutorial, MusicTech Expert Liam O’Mullane shows you how to use Resonators to make rhythmic instruments sing in the key of your track and design interesting elements to make your track stand out.
