Description
Francois – Melodic Techno “Giants” Track From Start To Finish 2022
Producing A Professional Melodic Techno Track w/ Ableton Live 9 Standard + NI MASSIVE (1.3.xx) (Intermediate Level)
What you will learn from this course:
Producing a Melodic Techno Track
After having taken this class, you’ll have seen a complete production process first hand, ing from nothing and working through all the different important stages of the production process, from to finish. The track is inspired by artists like Ame, Boris Brechja and of course, Francois Rengere.
What’s required?
- Basic understanding of using Ableton (like loading files, creating MIDI clips, etc – check our other mini Ableton refresher in Part 6 for the basics)
- Ableton Live 10 Suite (or higher)
- VST: SERUM
- Optional, but not necessary VST: NI Massive (1.5xx or higher) – we are providing presets and explanations for SERUM Vst
- no other 3rd party plugins needed
We have updated this course with additional videos and a project file version only using Ableton Live Suite + SERUM VST. So the VST plugin NI Massive is not absolutely necessary anymore. You can also run the course and use the files when you have Ableton Live 10 Suite (or higher versions) and SERUM installed on your system.
This course and project file runs on Apple Silicon (M1, M1,..) chips as well.
The course will take you through:
- Idea generation (first in Session View, later we switch to Arrangement View)
- Writing powerful chords and advanced MIDI writing techniques
- Writing fat and powerful drums
- Writing melodies
- Sound Design (with NI Massive)
- Making vocal chops and effects
- Creating pitch effects, LFO shapes and noise techniques
- Filtering, EQing, Vibrato, Envelope shaping
- Layering and sound stacking
- Creating deep house arpeggios and melodies
- Creative arrangement (taking your 8 Bar loops and turning them into a full song)
- Mixing: We are completely mixing the track using techniques like “frequency masking”, mid-side mixing, and many more
- Mastering: in the end we are fully mastering the track with a custom Ableton effect rack chain.
What you’re getting:
A complete -to-finish production course
35+ Studio sessions with Francois / Production Music Live
6h+ online video sessions with lifetime-access
Bonus: Ableton Project File created in this course (using Ableton Live 9 Standard + NI Massive)
