Electro House In Massive – Learn The Building Blocks in under an hour.

Having the opportunity to see someone else’s workflow in song creation can be priceless!


In this 4 part mini series, we see how to make some different synth instruments and even how to use sidechain compression and sub bass to help produce a better mix.

NI Massive is capable of producing every sound you need to produce an electro house track. This is always a cool subject to explore, using one synth to design all sounds in a song, and in this 4 part series you will see exactly how to do that.

Videos 1 and 2 of this mini series on electro house in Massive focus on designing the bass, the sub bass layer and finally setting up some sidechain compression to create ducking whenever the kick drum is triggered.
