Creative Processing Techniques
In this free mini course, Max Tebbert breaks down a hands-on approach to creative processing and resampling in Ableton Live. Starting with a simple synth sequence, he demonstrates how repeated recording, slicing and reprocessing can turn basic material into detailed rhythmic structures, evolving textures and atmospheric layers.
The class explores pitch manipulation, saturation, filtering, reverb, delay, stereo movement and modulation, with a focus on how small changes can create tension, depth and motion. Max also shows how to reshape sounds for different roles within a track, from percussive elements and transitions to low-end layers and more abstract sonic details.
Max Tebbert is a sound artist from Southern Germany, shaping hypnotic and percussive techno through modular systems and raw machine energy. His sound blends deep grooves, evolving textures and immersive atmospheres driven by instinct, tension and repetition. As the founder of SUBTRX, he explores the intersection of underground club culture, experimental sound design and live modular performance.
