- VST: NI Massive (1.3xx or higher)
- no other 3rd party plugins needed
|
The course will take you through:
| - Idea generation (first in Session View, later we switch to Arrangement View)
- Writing powerful chords and advanced MIDI writing techniques
- Writing fat and powerful drums
- Writing melodies
- Sound Design (with NI Massive)
- Making vocal chops and effects
- Creating pitch effects, LFO shapes and noise techniques
- Filtering, EQing, Vibrato, Envelope shaping
- Layering and sound stacking
- Creating deep house arpeggios and melodies
- Creative arrangement (taking your 8 Bar loops and turning them into a full song)
- Mixing: We are completely mixing the track using techniques like “frequency masking”, mid-side mixing, and many more
- Mastering: in the end we are fully mastering the track with a custom Ableton effect rack chain.
