Music Theory

Last week we covered the process of subtracting frequencies from our signal to reach our final sound output. This week we’ll cover the process of additive synthesis or in other words [...]

Subtractive synthesis as its name suggests is a process of reaching our desired sonic result by the means of a subtractive process. All subtractive synthesizers constitute most of the same [...]

When it comes to writing melodies, it’s generally assumed, the only guideline that applies is that you must remain within the chosen scale your track sits in. There are however a few nifty [...]

This month we’ll be diving into the basics of music theory for electronic music composition. Our first article today will deal with rhythm. Rhythm is the backbone of the songs structure, [...]

Continuing our properties of sound series, this week we will be looking at Amplitude or in simplistic terms the volume of either an individual signal or the entire track. Amplitude is measured in [...]

Pitch, also referred to as the tone of a particular note is measured in Hertz and designated a particular name corresponding to the musical scale of choice. A pitch of A4 on the keyboard for [...]

Diving into the second edition of our properties of sound series, this week we’ll be looking at Envelopes or the ADSR( Attack Decay Sustain Release ) of sonic signals. In simplistic terms, [...]

What is it that makes the sound of various instruments like guitars, flutes and pianos tonally unique from one another? When the same note, let us take C4 for example is played on different [...]
