OPTICAL DnB Masterclass KONTAKT

SYNTHiC4TE | 30 June 2015 | 1.93 GB

Back in June this year a very special guest came to Bristol to give a long awaited talk… Matt Quinn, also known as the mighty Optical – one of the most respected audio engineers in electronic music, full stop. With his work ranging from breaking new ground via his LP with Ed Rush -‘Wormhole’ to engineering and composing for Goldie’s ‘Saturnz Return’ and also co-writing the Album ‘Mysteries of Funk’ with Grooverider. The alluring aspect of his style is that his engineering skills are equally matched by his sense of artistry, seamlessly woven together to give the distinct, precise and vibrant sound that his music is know for – the world over. In this masterclass Optical looks at all angles of his production skills, and uses two tracks (forthcoming from the new Ed Rush & Optical LP) to demonstrate this, as well as a world exclusive dub he had been working on just for the seminar. Tutorials simply don’t get any more exciting!!!
