HiDERA | 26 January 2025 | 229 MB

Are you tired of feeling that your tracks sound a bit dull and lifeless? Don’t you wish there was a way you could make them sound … well … bigger and better? You’ve come to the right place! In this video course, production expert Thomas Cochran will show you numerous ways to convert a stale, anemic-sounding instrument to something that commands attention and turns an ear. With the sound-layering techniques you learn in this tutorial, you’ll never have to settle for a lackluster track again! These videos are designed for producers and recordists that want to increase the impact and vibe of their instrument tracks. After welcoming you to the production course, Thomas begins showing you ways to add texture and movement to sounds, lending complexity to your production without adding clutter. This is done through bit reduction, adding saturation to reverb, and layering a granular synth patch on top of a simple sine keys part. Thomas then shows how you can add depth to a track with modulation and delay effects, which is useful for filling up space without adding another instrument. Next, you’ll discover how duplicating instrument parts (melodies, chords, etc.) with another sound (or more) can greatly increase the depth and texture of an existing part. The great thing about this technique is that virtually any sound is fair play, as they will all complement the original track in a unique way.

The Secret To Pro Sounding Music

The heart and soul of electronic music is Bass. It pumps the speakers and warms the sound up so that it can be felt by your listener while they groove with your track. If your bass isn’t hitting right and isn’t capturing your listener, your tracks will never be heard by the mainstream market. Artists like Wolfgang Gartner, Zedd, Skrillex and Knife Party rely on their drums and basses to make their tracks huge and impactfull.
