ABOUT THE COURSE:

The Electronic Music Masterclass is the most comprehensive course ever produced by FaderPro. It is a deep dive into all the steps and processes it takes to create a tech-house track fitting for the Toolroom sound. The course is broken down into three parts demonstrating the main processes for creating a complete finished master track - from beat creation to the arrangement of the track, to the final mix and master.

PART 1

In the first section, Part 1, Vincent demonstrates various ways to build a beat from scratch to get to that point when you have a solid groove that has all the elements necessary for a complete track. From the drum elements to the bass line to signature loops and sound FX.

PART 2

In the second section, Part 2, learn how to transform and arrange a solid beat foundation into a complete musical idea. Examine each part of a song from the intro, to the breaks, the drops all the way through to the outdo and the last beat. Hone your skills at transition FX and ways you can create contrast to maintain interest and energy through the entire song.

PART 3

In the last section, Part 3, dive into the mix by approaching your mix as an outside engineer would do. Learn about an “all faders down” mix which helps you get a new perspective on your track and allows you to re-examine each element and the processing it needs to finds its perfect place in the mix. Once the mix is complete, you’ll learn basic “do-it-yourself” mastering that will ensure your tracks can compete with all the other demo tracks that DJs and labels receive.
