During the webinar, Re:Set will compose a track from scratch inspired by classic 'Zenon-esque' psychedelic techno tunes. Together, we'll develop the main elements, the sound design and the harmonic/structural foundations of the music piece.
You will be taken through Re:Set's working methods step by step, with clear and detailed explanations on how to approach the creation of all the elements that compose a track. In this phase, a special focus will be put on synthesis, layering and post-production.
We will proceed to an overview on how to create effective drops, smooth transitions, how to work with automations and macros, and how to reach the climax of the track to capture the audience.
This tutorial aims to show how producers use the tools at their disposal to create their soundscapes and transform their ideas into effective music.
