Kick ass link of the week is a day late this week (sorry bout that!).   In case you didn’t know, this is the week of ridiculousness (in a good way)!  5 shows in 6 days and I’m pumped as hell – after Bass Rebel Radio this evening (with my guests Professor J and Burnto) yours truely will be playing Halifield Presents at The Paragon.  Tomorrow night of course is It’s a Wickedbad Xmas with Ill.Gates! The grimest Christmas Party in town!

This week’s KALOTW features a TON of tutorials, and boy do I mean a ton!  First up:

For all you Ableton users out there (myself included) here is a wonderful little thread from the Ableton forums with more tutorials than you can shake a stick at!  THERE  ARE ALMOST 80 TUTORIALS ON THIS PAGE – from sidechain compression, to vocoding to glitching, arpeggiator tips to everything in between.  This is the ultimate list of Ableton tutorials:

The “Little” List of Ableton Tips

Next up is probably my favorite tutorial site out there at the moment,  Music Tech Tutorials.  These guys are not DAW dependent, so there are tutorials for Logic, Cubase, FL Studio and Reason as well as Ableton Live.  All tutorials are in video form (which is nice) and topics covered include FX, synth patches and general audio production tips like how to properly use of multiband compression and much more!

Enjoy this wealth of information and hope to see you out this weekend!  Come back tomorrow for the most recent episode of BASS REBEL RADIO!
PEACE and BIG BASS
