Today Danny J Lewis helps stoke up the festive mood with this Ableton Live tutorial where he creates a bumping house beat by using just 3 yuletide source sounds (and absolutely nothing else!) – a chime, sleigh bells, and of course Santa’s unmistakable Ho Ho HOOO! Check it out in the video below and read on to grab a free download of the samples.

Want to have a go yourself? Of course you do! Download the samples here and lets see what you’ve got. Be sure to come back and show us how you got on with a link to your beats in the comments below this post.

You can learn techniques such this and much more on the online Ableton Live Sound Design course which launches on January 9th 2012. The next courses after that start 5th March and 30th April.  Click here for the full course details and enrolment information.
