This is an excellent suggestion! I guess the quietness is mostly down to a mad last week with a new baby arriving this end and people needing to take up the slack elsewhere to make up for that. Also, the assignment finished, so things always quieten down slightly till the next one.

In any case, new bonus content on the way very shortly..... new samples as well as the next few parts in the Future Rave series we hope you've been enjoying? 

Let's get this bangers thread started too though...

In Production

Let us hear you!

Strong sound! I love the boldness. It's a simple but well put together track. There are a few tuning issues here and there, which need addressing... the higher pitched, sung vocals that come in around 1.30 are not in the same key as the rest of the track. A less obvious issue is the alternating between major and minor key - for the most of the song you're in a minor one but the main bass sound that comes in at various points has an obvious major third interval going on - this is a common issue with a lot of presets that use the 5th harmonic - these often get used in songs in a minor key!

The overall ideas you've got going on as well as the production quality, big sound etc. are all really good though, so there's huge potential!

Future Rave Bonus Tut #2 - Huge Lead Design for the Drop with Vital

Announcements

The next installment in the Future Rave series is already here! In this one, you can learn how to make a high energy lead patch with Vital, for creating a big sound in a Future Rave/EDM drop.

As well as sound design techniques, there are plenty of tips on composition, as the original melodic ideas from part 1 are transformed into a phrase more suited to the section of the track where the dancefloor is kicking off!

Check Part 2 HERE.

Enjoy!

A decent condenser is recommended. And a pop shield! Although you can just use some tights over a coat hanger if you want to be old school!

RODE are a quality home studio brand, although there are cheaper, nice alternatives too.

You didn't have to wait long for the next part of this series btw - Part 2 OUT NOW!

Vital is very much the synth of the moment, along with Phase Plant I would say. I love both! These days, I would say go for Vital over Serum, although Serum does have a lot of great presets yes. Vital offers a bit more and is really user friendly. They are closely-matched though!
