January 2024 - Hi Hat Grooves + 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. 

In this bundle you can watch almost 3 hours of tutorials! Starting off with an Operator sound design session creating a load of different sounds to take into projects with the power of FM.

The second tutorial is another track workflow session where you get to see my creative process in action as i intentionally force happy accidents through trial and error to inspire me to progress with the track.

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

Two tutorials are available with this bundle, the first showcases mid bass modulation in serum and how to create unique results with a simple preset to layer and adapt your rhythm and sound.

The second is for making atmospheric drones again with simple layering techniques to create full and rich intros.  

For this month's tutorial I walk you through a simple pad layering technique to create rich and full music beds with interesting movement and dynamics using just one sample.

I use this technique a lot when building intro's and is a great way of adding complexity to an otherwise basic sound

This month’s tutorials take a more creative approach. The first focuses on creating unique atmospherics by MIDI mapping parameters across different plugins and experimenting while recording. I also show free alternatives to the paid plugins used.

The second is a 1.5-hour, no-talking guide to building a track from a simple idea into a solid set of loops. I cover drum layering and EQ, generating mid-bass sounds and movement, creating pads and leads from melodic samples, and more.

In this bundle I once again looking at sub bass but this time focussing it all about movement, how to give your basslines groove, funk and swing for those head bouncing tracks. 

For the second tutorial we're going to get very experimental. I show off some techniques that can really transform a sound from it origin to a whole other level. This is one of my favourite topics as it can be so free with no rules and is always a lot of fun.

This month i dive back into drums showing you how i put samples together, layering, rhythm, groove, buss processing and boosting the overall weight and level. 

After that I go through your sample submissions and play around resampling and having a bit of fun making new sounds and variations showing loads of little ways to get more out of your sounds and to maybe think about more creative approaches that you haven't seen before.

The first tutorial in this bundle is about making music from noise, learn to craft atmospheric noise and then tune it to become a unique playable instrument.

The second focusses on making a simple mid bass patch inside of Serum that has plenty of control through macros and LFO's and post processing to completely change the sound for those mid bass progressions

The first of this bundle's tutorials I show you guys whats on my fx send busses and how i like to use them, not only are they perfect workflow tools but also a way to quickly colour, distort and enhance your tracks. 

For the second tutorial, i wanted to get more creative behind how to make fxs, more specifically uplifters and downshifters. For years i just searched riser in my sample library and ended up with the same bland and overused sample. I teach you the fundamentals of synthesising your own samples that goes way beyond just pitching up and down.

The first of this bundles tutorials is a track build from scratch. I felt like the idea took a while to get going but it ended up being a nice loop with some interesting routes for inspiration.

The second tutorial focusses on sound design. I have no direction in these sessions, just to be inspired along the way and make sure to hit record for all the little cuts that might become hidden gems for a future track
