Are you sick of trying to get samples to fit into your productions and want to go a bit deeper creating your own sounds that will perfectly mold into your tracks, then this is the course for you?
You will learn to create a range of different sounds, kicks, snares, claps, hi-hats, percussion, and cymbals. Giving you a full drum kit. With each sound, we will look to break down the key components of classic hits and recreate them. This will all be done with Ableton FM synth operator and some extra processing from Ableton’s audio effects.
The course is broken down into 10 lessons with an average of 10mins per lesson (some are a lot longer). With each lesson, you will get a preset that is made with the lesson so you can really dig deep into the sound that was used for each lesson.
