TEAM MATRiX | 22 September 2014 | 1.08 GB

Over the next 11 videos Richie takes apart this groove laden genre, from adding air atmosphere and found sounds, to a hypnotic baseline from ANA. Next we create the pads from scratch and a big room ‘hoover’ FX that evolves throughout the track and finally finishing the sound design with some ANA stab sounds. To top it all off we end with some mixing and mastering to really bring the track to life! NB – This is a 3rd party ARTIST SERIES course – and as such expect some 3rd party software to be used during the course such as Xfer LFO Tool. We have also used replacement samples for any third party samples used in this project.
