Producertech Melodic Deep Tech House and Techno Production Part 2 [TUTORiAL]

Simon Shackleton has been producing professionally for 25 years, going under aliases such as Lunatic Calm, Zodiac Cartel and Elite Force. His music has received support by DJs across the globe and been featured in films like 'Charlie's Angels' and 'The Matrix'. Renowned for his meticulous nature, eloquence and ability to produce heavy but musical dancefloor tracks, Simon is the ideal tutor for this course.

In the first part, Simon provides a thorough guide to the creation of every part in the track, from drums, bass and leads, to vocals, pads and FX. An assortment of Loopmasters samples are used for the job, carefully sculpted and layered together, with occasional synths employed for melodic parts. Part 2 then continues the journey, with a detailed look at working the parts into a full-on organic arrangement, which is mixed down in part 3.

THIS COURSE IS PART 2, ARRANGING ALL THE SOUNDS FROM PART 1 INTO A COMPLETED TRACK. PART 3 ON MIXING AND MASTERING COMING LATER IN THE YEAR...
