Description

In this two and half-hour course, you will learn how to make professional-sounding Tech House track from start to finish. I will take you through the whole journey from synthesising your very own kick drum that you can tune in any key and retain the best quality possible. You will learn how to create a bass patch from scratch, drum groove, synths, FX, and more. You will learn an easy way how to arrange you 8 bar loop into a whole song. You will learn how to mix your track as well as how to add width to your track without compromising mono compatibility with a free plugin. At the end of this course, you will also learn how to master the track so your productions stand up against professionally mastered and released music.

Please keep in mind that this course isn't aimed for beginners but rather for intermediate level producers who know their DAW well and can navigate with ease. You will need 3rd party VST's such as Serum, Sylenth1 and more to be able to hear all the sounds but if you follow along you will be able to recreate sounds in just about any plug-in you own with similar functionality.


Also if you still have questions or want to take your skills to the next level, feel free to book a private 1-2-1 masterclass by clicking a website link in my profile or simply dropping me a message to arrange a time.

An hour-long private one on one music production masterclass with MACROLEV.

It's your choice, we can breakdown tracks, re-create elements/sounds or I can give feedback on your productions, we can start and build YOUR track from scratch or I can help you with mixing and mastering your music or even finishing off that last 10% if that's what you want. Plus on top of that will send you samples, project files (If appropriate) as well as the recording of the masterclass so you can re-watch it as many times as you like.

The choice is all yours!
