January 2024 - Hi Hat Grooves + Writing Session

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

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

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, 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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

Starting off the tutorials with a no talking video where I showcase a 'day in the life' style sound design session making all sorts of random samples to use in later projects.

For the second tutorial, as requested by so many of you, focusses on how to progress out of a loop. I talk about my theories and approaches when it comes to tension, fills, progression and energy as well as mid bass resampling and utilising the sound pallet already inside the project.

For the first tutorial I take you through a mixdown session for a new track focussing on drum tone, mid levels, sub control and anything else i find along the way.

The second tutorial is a sound design session where i just let the vibe take me. I look at pads, piano processing and serum bass design

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.

Included in this months bundles, I return to the rest of the samples sent in for resample submissions to mangle, rearrange, process and create a bunch of new sounds.

For the second tutorial, I go over some top tips when working with mid bass. This includes, layering, arrangement, EQing and sidechaining to help get the cleanest, most exciting sound.

Kicking this bundles tutorials off exploring experimental sound design where I transform a single percussion hit into a ethereal soundscape pad opening up so much inspiration. 

The second is about enhancing mid bass, this one was specifically designed at how to go further out of the soft synth box and bringing sounds to life but can easily be adapted to be used on samples, drum, leads etc...

Starting things off looking at turn arounds, I show a few examples inside real projects talking about sample selection, sound design sessions, tension, push pull, pauses and using whats already in your track.

In the second tutorial I go about making complex and evolving ethereal pads using a single note recording. This same technique can be applied with all sorts of musical elements and can be taken way beyond what I show in this session.

First off  for this bundles tutorials, I walk you through my track Paprika Dust for a full track breakdown of how I put the track together.

Secondly, I wanted to go deeper into the world of detuning, phasing and modulation talking some techy stuff and some fun demonstrations
