ChestCastVOL6 (clip) LeonSwitch30MinMix

Here is a preview of my first Chestplate release. Out 28th July 2014... Bigup Dj Distance and the Chestplate Crew!

CHST033 A - Deadlock - Clip

In this video I use Ableton‬ live with ‪uheplugins‬ Dark Zebra with the inspiring ‪Luftrum‬  presets to make a Bladerunner inspired tune. 

The tune ends up quite cinematic and has a cool sci-fi edge to it.

Leon Switch presents Making a Bladerunner Inspired Tune

Blade Runner Inspired Tune (youtube tutorial demo track)

In this video I process simple Sine Waves to create different layers to create an ambient track.

In this video I show how I use FXpansion acoustic drum studio plugin BFD3 to make and process some new drum-kits.

I show you in detail the entire process from selecting drums in BFD3 to resampling them in ableton, then chopping them up and processing them for use in my tunes.

I figured as it was October and we have the Halloween holiday coming up it would be a bit of fun.

I start with the theme and build the intro and then move to the drop where we make the complete drop and we then finish at the breakdown.

In this video I show how I use a simple Foley Sound Recording of the binmen collecting the rubbish from my street and  @uheplugins  Dark Zebra to make an ambient soundscape. 

I use the amazing  @Luftrum1  presets from his Dark Zebra collection 

Arkos for The Dark Zebra 

https://www.luftrum.com/dark-zebra-patches/

and 

Rogue for The Dark Zebra

https://www.luftrum.com/soundbank-for-dark-zebra-rogue/

Both of the packs are full of really useful presets that you can easily tweak to make your own.

I was lucky enough to speak with the guys over at  https://www.luftrum.com/
and they were kind enough to send me those packs for this video.

Leon Switch Promo Mix April 2015

Playing with the volume of 3 oscillators - 2 tuned the same,1 is a sine, one is a saw and playing the arp, the third is a sine tuned to the root and is a lower octave. When you increase the level of the third oscillator it causes likke a ring/fm style tone. its lovely!!

The other 2 elements are VCV rack

System35 - MixerTrick -01

Leon Switch Sample Series Vol 2 Demo Track

This is the demo track for my 'Leon Switch Sample Series Vol 3'
All of the sounds used in this track are from the sample packs and are used pretty much raw, straight from the pack... 

I've used only sounds that I myself would use as i feel its important to not be looking for the right sound for too long and hindering the writing process. Made with the producer in mind.
