August 2024 - Mid Bass Design + Writing Session

In this bundle we're going to be looking over bass sound design focussing more on getting those funky movements and tone. You will learn how basic modulation works as well as ordering your effects chain for new and interesting results.

For the second tutorial, I do a deep dive of my track 'Turn The Tape' showing you sample selection, arrangement, sound design theory and intro building

Inside this bundle is a 2 parter track workflow special. You can sit back and watch me work for 3 hours on a new track showcasing sample selection, sound design, rhythm, groove and trial & error. 

Tutorial 01 is about hi hats, loops and grooves. How i create fresh sounding loops from multiple sources to speed up my workflow.

Tutorial 02 is a no talking (i had a cold and my voice was sounding rough as hell haha) session where I'm having one last writing session on a forthcoming collab with Fearful. I break it down to avoid getting lost in the main project so i can focus on whats needed. 

The first tutorial in this bundle looks at creative layering and some inspiring ways to create new and interesting sounds.

The second focusses on sampling and resampling. I use a website called samplette.io to collect a new folder of sounds and then begin to chop and process them into new atmospherics, pads, leads and fxs

As we head into Autumn here in the northern hemisphere, I've put together two cold as fuck tutorials.

Kicking things off with a track breakdown of my colab with Revan; 'Special Ingredient'. I take you on an in depth journey through the bass design, drum progression and arrangement theory behind this track.

For the next tutorial I strip things back away from synth design and take a sine wave loop and create new and inspiring modulations using just filtering, eq and distortion.

With all of the exclusive racks I've been dropping on my Members Club each Friday, I've been inspired to put together a tutorial showing off some advanced techniques to create some really cool sounds and inspiration. 

The second tutorial is a no talking, sit back and relax, writing session. You get to see how I work through ideas to get a solid loop and groove flowing.

Inside this months production pack I look back over a project and breakdown how I created the drums, looking at layering, groove and punch.

The second tutorial is a no talking track workflow where you get to watch me write music for just under 2 hours

In this bundle, I dive in on kick synthesis and layering, this is also going to be really useful for those wanting to up their synthesis knowledge.

The second tutorial was inspired by a new synth i bought that day called SKY Keys, i thought id hit record and see what happens playing through some of the presets. There is so much to dive into with this synth as well as adding your own samples to control.

Inside this bundle contains 2 new tutorials to get you inspired to both start and finish your music.

The first tutorial is all about how AI is entering the music production industry and how you can use some of these tools to your advantage. Some are basic and in the early stages and some just need some creativity to adapt into your music.

The second tutorial shows how I finished off the writing section for my track Powder. I love to just hit record and play around creating sounds that can be used as FX, leads and pads to add that last 5/10% to my track

Septembers packs are here! This month featuring 2 new tutorials on noise and hoovers.

Noise is such an important part of music production, and i cover 4 techniques i use in almost every track.

The hoover is a historic sound in drum and bass and dance music, i show you how to set up the sound and then get lost absolutely destroying it to create new and inspiring low notes

This bundles tutorials are focussed on random creation. I teach this so much and its such an important part of creating your own sounds and style. It's also super fun and one of the best ways of learning new instruments, effects or even the power or your DAW.

I go through a lot of trial and error in these sessions and not everything will be usable, but stay locked for some new creative inspiration

This month we're diving into atmospherics. I'll cover everything from building drones from scratch using synthesis, transforming everyday samples into evolving soundscapes, capturing and reshaping moments with freezing techniques, and using resonance to create rich, tonal textures that sit deep within a mix.

We'll explore synthesis, sampling, freezing, feedback, and resonance, along with practical techniques for creating evolving atmospherics, layered ambience, noise textures, immersive backgrounds and movement to bring more depth into your productions.

In this months session, I’ll cover everything from simple to advanced transitions, dub FXs, a rebuild of one of my favourite hardware synths in Serum, and some final creative experimentation using some unusual stock FX.

We’ll go through risers, pitch drops, tremolo movement, sirens, dub delays Lyra-8 inspired textures, plus deep sound design using grain delay, spectral, and modulated processing.

Following on from last months Pad tutorial, we focus our attention to Leads.

I guide you on how to build powerful, distinctive leads from the ground up using Serum, covering everything from tight plucks to classic rave tones.

Discover how to add tension, layer bass and vocals, and resample creatively using granular synthesis. Rounded off with lush vocoder effects, this gives you everything you need to create unique  and exciting leads

This packs tutorial focuses on creating simple but effective pads that add depth, space, and emotion to your tracks, and it marks the start of Season 3.

We begin with the fundamentals of pad creation and chord writing, showing you how to build solid harmonic foundations that feel full and musical. From there, we explore creative sampling techniques to add texture and character, helping your pads stand out while still sitting naturally in the mix.

Finally, we shape everything with effects and dive into more experimental approaches, giving you tools to push beyond the basics and develop your own sound. A practical, start-to-finish guide to making pads.

In part two of the drum series, we go even deeper into building professional, groove-driven drums from the ground up, picking up right where we left off with last months kick and snare design.

In this session, I’ll guide you through the full process of creating a complete drum loop, covering a range of shuffle grooves, hi-hat patterns, and drum break variations to help your drums feel more dynamic and alive.

We’ll also focus on the finer details, dialling in timing and swing to get that natural groove before bringing everything together, gluing the drums and enhancing the final result with a polished drum buss.

With season 1's bass focused episodes complete, we move into Season 2 - Drums

Starting with a deep dive into kick and snare design using the exact techniques I rely on in my own sound design sessions. You’ll learn how to build powerful, weighty hits from the ground up, drums that feel solid, punch through dense arrangements, and sit confidently at the front of the mix.

For the kick, I break down my full workflow, covering synthesis, shaping, processing, and layering to achieve both low-end weight and midrange punch. For the snare, we explore transient design, body control, tonal balance, layering strategies, and tail shaping, so you can create snares that snap at the front, carry substance through the body, and decay cleanly without cluttering the mix.

I’ve leaned heavily into this for this month’s sample pack, with loads of kicks and snares created using these exact techniques.

We’re now diving into Episode 2 of Season 1 of the Framework series, continuing our journey into bass sound design. In this session, we’ll be exploring several advanced techniques to take your basses to the next level such as effects chains, parallel processing, automation, and blending multiple bass sounds together, all key tools to sculpt and shape your basses so they fit perfectly into your next track.

Every mid-bass sample included in this month’s sample pack was crafted using racks like the ones demonstrated in the tutorial. I also applied the same automation techniques and sound-blending methods we’ll be walking through today. By following along, you’ll get a detailed look at how to combine multiple layers, modulate parameters dynamically, and create rich, polished bass sounds that are ready for your productions.
