October 2025 - Track Breakdown

For this production bundle's tutorial video I look over Stay Hungry, a track that featured on my EP 'Turn The Tape' which dropped on Flexout Audio in 2024.

More specifically I'll be walking you through the bass design and how I created the main mid range sound, arranged and processed it to fit with the rest of the vibe of the track.

I get a lot of tracks for feedback where the mids are really static and don't feel like they're part of the track, so I put a dry demo track together to demonstrate how I would approach bringing the track to life. 

This goes a step further looking at some of the atmospherics, vocal sample and fxs as well.

Inside this production bundle, I have put together a long sound design session. I didn't have any focus or direction for this but ended up creating loads of really cool atmospherics that can be bounced down into a sample pack.

I jump into these sessions whenever I have writers block, lacking creativity or just want to sit and have fun making noises for a while. These sessions can really help take the pressures away from writing and also top up my own sound bank for use in a future project.

Inside the production pack, I show you how to make stabs inside of Serum. This technique can be evolved and taken so far and its a really versatile way to add rhythm to your track.

I create 2 unique sounds and demonstrate how to edit and control the tone giving you the best starting point to reverse engineer and tweak into your own sound. 

Inside this production bundle there are loads of drum beats stripped down, mid bass sounds and everything weird and wonderful in between. This is also the first month of dedicated Serum 2 presets, expect even more power from such an insane synth.

The tutorial this month is a drum track breakdown of my latest release 'Ruff Stuff'. I guide you through the samples chosen, processing, arrangement and some really useful tips and tricks along the way. Sit back and enjoy the hour long session.

Alongside this bundles vast sample and preset pack, I continue my breakdown of Ruff Stuff focussing this time on the leads, atmospherics and FXs.

This was heavily requested since the tracks release date and I'm happy to share the tips and tricks on how I created the hooks for the track.

I complete the third instalment of my Ruff Stuff track breakdowns. Over the last couple of months we’ve looked over the drums, then the leads and fxs, and now its time to showcase how i created the bassline and mid bass sounds for the track.

I talk about sub movement, harmonics, mid bass arrangement, recording and processing sounds and much more. Sit back and enjoy this tutorial

Join me for a 2 hour writing session where I take a simple idea into a fleshed out groove. You'll get to see how i created the intro, worked out a mid bass progression as well as resampling, groove and arrangement techniques

The focus of this bundles tutorial was to not only engage with my members but also to challenge myself. I asked the Discord community to send me sounds they love in some of their favourite tracks to see if I can recreate them.

This is not supposed to be a tutorial about how to sound like your favourite artists but the process along the way, and for me to show you new ways of thinking about synthesis and sound design.

For this tutorial I will be guiding you through a mixdown of a new dubstep track I have coming out early 2026.

In just under 2 hours, I show you my final mixdown checklist and work through it in real time to create a more polished and club ready track.

For this bundle, I take a look back over 'Break' with Hugh Hardie taken from my 'Lotus' EP. I wanted to focus specifically on how we started this project and it began with a sound design session.

You will get to hear all of the raw sounds as i explain how we created them, then I move onto implementation and how we constructed the initial loop and main theme of the track. There are loads of tips and tricks in this one especially with audio processing.

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 months tutorial is titled 'Glueing Sections' where i take you through 3 different simple but effective techniques to help seamlessly progress from one section to another using fills, risers, fx automation and adding space.

You can hear similar sounds and techniques across my music and are go to methods when stuck on how to progress my track and further develop my ideas.

For this month I go in depth discussing macro's and how to make simple things complex making a reverb / riser chain to create atmosphere and space with just one knob control.

This is an amazing workflow as well as creative tool offering the simplicity of being able to just automate one line for instant space, width and tension to your track.

This tutorial is about making subs inside of Serum. Through a simple set up ill guide you on how to give your subs depth and warmth as well as layering the synth.

Altering the controls on the layered version will alter the timbre of your lower mid harmonics to create exciting new modulations and dynamics

Inside this tutorial i will be going over how i make stabs and knocks using both synthesis and sample based techniques. Both are used heavily in my production from the knocks in my tracks Speed Shades and Magnum Meal, and are super fun to play around with.

Altering small settings each time can cause really interesting results that are perfect for adding rhythm to a track or emphasising a kick or snares power in the track

For this tutorial I wanted to create a drum beat from start to finish covering topics such as sample selection; picking out the right hits for tonality and layering, dynamics; how to humanise your drums, levelling and retaining transients; to make sure your drums are well balanced and peaking through the mix.

This tutorial is perfect for beginners and veterans who want to dig deeper into how i approach my drums

For this tutorial I wanted to progress last months drum tutorial by creating a song from a simple idea and taking it all the way through to a full track.

You will see how I approach creating progressional ideas to keep the track interesting and evolving as well as arrangement to have clear and concise flow from start to finish

Following on from last months full track production video, I wanted to guide you through my mixdown process and how to get a cleaner final mix.

You will see my mixdown ticklist from cleaning low end bleed to sidechaining clashing mids all the way to my masterchain bus using EQ, saturation and compression.
