Looking for some fresh bass sounds for your next production? Why not design your own from scratch? In this Serum 2 video course, electronic music expert Thomas Cochran shows you how to do just that with Serum 2, the hybrid softsynth powerhouse from Xfer Records. You’ll not only learn how to create five different usable bass patches, but you’ll also gain a deeper understanding of Serum 2 and synthesis in general. These Serum 2 videos are designed for Serum 2 users looking to expand their sound palette in the bass realm. To start, Thomas shows how to build a vintage-sounding synthwave bass patch using the new Serum 2 wavetables and the sampler engine, demonstrating the powerful capabilities of each. This is followed by a plucked house bass sound, which Thomas creates by stacking multiple instances of the new warp modifiers – an enormous untapped resource in the sound design realm.
Ready to learn something new on guitar? Well, step right this way. In this video guitar lesson collection, you’ll get the lowdown on seven different styles, including tone/gear advice, chord voicings, scales, licks, riffs, and more. Whether you want to start making use of dropped tunings for a grunge sound, are curious how rockabilly players perform those flashy pull-off licks, or can’t quite get a grip on the reggae feel, it’s all here. The course kicks off with Celtic Guitar, in which you’ll learn about modal melodies, 6/8 time, jigs and reels, DADGAD tuning, and more. Then, in Funk Guitar, Tom Kolb will show you the must-know chord voicings and techniques of this energetic style, including skank lines, scratch rhythms, and syncopation, among others.
Join veteran Groove3 instructor Gary Hiebner for a comprehensive course on producing a song in the Amapiano subgenre. This popular style, which originated in South Africa in the 2010s, combines elements of deep house, jazz, kwaito, and more in a unique and compelling way. You’ll learn about all the conventions and elements commonly found in this style, including instrumentation, arrangement, processing, and mixing ideas. By the end of this Amapiano production course, you’ll be well on your way to creating your first Amapiano hit! Gary starts off with an overview of the Amapiano genre, including its common features and what all will be covered in this course. Then it’s off to the races, and Gary begins by focusing first on programming a kick pattern, designing the kick sound, and adding a hi-hat pattern and a shaker. Then he finishes establishing the core drum track by adding snare, claps, and rimshot, the latter of which features a counter rhythm to generate musical interest.

Join Cubase expert Gary Hiebner for an in-depth video course on using automation in Cubase to produce more interesting, dynamic mixes, solve issues, and create engaging effects. If you haven’t tried using automation before, you don’t know what you’re missing. This course will provide numerous examples that illustrate the usefulness and creativity of automation. Whether you want to simply create some auto-panning effects or get a bit more creative with delay throws and more, you’ll learn how to do it quickly and easily. These videos are designed for Cubase users new to the subject of automation. Gary begins the course with an overview of everything that’s going to be covered—a bird’s-eye view of automation and some common things that can be done with it. Then he starts to get specific, first looking at panning automation. He presents several possible uses for this idea, such as panning instruments narrower in verses and wider for the chorus. Then it’s on to volume automation, where you’ll learn how to create more interest in the mix by keeping the levels dynamic and fluid. Gary then demonstrates how combining two can yield a range of effects, from subtle to extreme.
Join Logic Pro guru Eli Krantzberg for an in-depth look at the delay plugins of Logic Pro. Eli examines all the parameters and controls for each plugin and provides plenty of demonstrations, so you can hear everything in context and get a good idea of each effect’s possibilities. Whether you just need the simplicity of Echo, the character and vibe of Tape Delay, or the routing functionality of Stereo Delay, it’s all covered here and more. These Logic Pro videos are designed for users new to these delay plugins. Eli welcomes you to the course and begins by looking at common elements to all delay plugins followed by an examination of the simpler Echo plugin in Logic Pro. Then you’ll see several uses for Sample Delay, including both creative (to stereoize a mono track by slightly offsetting the timing of one channel) and corrective (to fix frequency cancellation due to multiple mics). Next, check out how to add some retro flavor to your tracks with the Tape Delay plugin, with which you can simulate a tape-based delay unit, including parameters like tape saturation, pitch modulation, and tape speed fluctuation, etc. You’ll get to hear it in action on a Rhodes track, vocals, and bass.
