Digital Sound Design

Digital Soundscapes

For me, a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) is not just a recording tool; it is an infinite canvas. My passion lies in Sound Design—moving beyond presets to sculpt unique textures, atmospheres, and melodies using a hybrid workflow of software synthesis and hardware control.

The Software Stack

Ableton Live

My central hub for arrangement and automation. I utilize its non-linear “Session View” for rapid prototyping of musical ideas.

Reason Studios

A digital modular playground. I love the virtual cabling workflow, which allows for complex routing logic and signal processing chains.

Synthesis & VSTs

Deep integration of Arturia Analog Lab and various VST plugins to emulate classic hardware warmth within a modern digital environment.

Audio Sculpting

Understanding envelopes (ADSR), LFO modulation, and frequency filtering to create sounds from scratch rather than relying solely on sample libraries.

The Human Interface

While the processing is digital, the expression is human. I rely on a MIDI Keyboard Controller to bridge the gap between code and emotion.

Real-time parameter mapping (Cutoff, Resonance, Reverb).
Velocity-sensitive playing for dynamic expression.
Tactile control over software synthesizers.
