New Creatures Liquid DnB Course on the way!

Announcements

Loving this course; very inspiring to get to those liquid summer vibes.

Do you think seppa could do a livestream and finish arranging the track? It would be great to see how he brings in the variations in, so that he keeps a large repeated section interesting.

Also I feel like I have loads of questions about the plug ins and what they bring to the table - so I can work out how to get the same outputs with my own existing devices...

Either way thanks for the tutorials 🙏 

DimensionX - Alpha - New track!

Let us hear you!

Wow - how did you get that kick to pop out like that?

Great track - with lots of twists and turns. At times the chords sound too dissonant, but then there's a drop or resolution of some kind and it seems to work. Definitely a banger

Cool - just listening to your soundcloud. Love those crunchy drums.  Do you use thermal on an overall drums bus, as well or just on individual parts?

Nice to hear @tamlinspeaks. I bought this a while ago and failed to get much out of it. Will keep trying...

THE BEST SYNTH I HAVE EVER... OMG.

DAW or Software Questions

Thanks for the tip @betterledproductions I was looking for a synth emulator woth a hardware feel, so grabbed it. It's got some great presets and loads of them, so have not got further than that yet...

Analogue vs digital plugins

😂 

Hilarious @betterledproductions

I spent a few nights going through my eq plugins  trying to replicte the same changes and making notes of the differences.  Really felt the benefits in starting to understand the differences between them, such as saturation they introduce.  Hopefully these sorts of exercises help in developing the ear and learn how to pinpoint what to use (when and why)

One day I will try the same with other types of effects...

Hi Rob- maybe too late to drip feed in a request for the livestream.  I've finally found some some inspiration for the henge track and working on dubstep track at 140bpm. 

Finding it tricky working with the vocals though and was wondering if you would be able to give tips on chopping up the vocals and working at this speed.

Doesn't matter - either way. Am looking forwards to  the stream.

Also massive thanks to you and people from the community for sharing files. Massive time saver!
