Description

From the beautiful sunsets of Ibiza through to the chill out rooms in clubs and home listeners, Chill out is one of the most popular genres of music. It’s a genre that transcends Electronic Music and often cross overs into mainstream pop music.

For this course you’ll learn how to produce chill out music from start to finish. Produced and recorded by Rick Snoman, producer and award winning author of the industry recognised textbook on electronic dance music production, you can follow along on how he creates a successfully released track*

Stacked with tips, tricks and techniques, over 7 hours you’ll learn how a professional chill out / pop crossover track is created, covering every single stage from kick creation and how to create a laid back vibe through to creating groove, writing melodies, programming synthesisers, recording and editing vocals and arranging the music. Produced in Logic Pro X, the skills are easily transferable to any other DAW from Ableton to Cubase and Studio One. With no stone unturned, this is a great opportunity to follow along and learn how a professional producer creates a record that has hit the Beatport charts.

*Released under Aeon Soul – Blue Sky, available from Beatport via Easy Summer Label.
