Description

Welcome to the G Funk course where you will learn how to produce a track and also develop your skills as a producer. You will learn how to arrange a track, select the right sounds that are genre specific to G Funk and to mix your track to a high level. Also in this tutorial you will be able to apply the skills you learn to other genres such as Nu-Disco and Hip Hop, so the opportunities to take from this course are not limited to this one style.

The course requires you to download some 3rd party plug ins which are free to do so and also the drum files and midi files are also included for you to use should you need them. Everything is here for you to produce a full track in the G Funk style taking influence from artists such as XL Middleton and old skool acts such as Zapp from the early 1980's.

Once the track is arranged you will then perform a detailed mix down of the recording in which you will learn how to apply the correct plug ins within Ableton such as compression, grouping tracks, Saturation and delay and reverb.

The key elements in this course are

1. Drum programming.

2. Arrangement skills

3. Bass line performance and programming.

4. Chord playing and structure.

5. Mixing skills.

6. Prepping your track for mastering.
