How to make a progressesive house track

The Makings of a progressive beat



Hello people im back with another post you know. Sometimes life gets in the way and you can't post as much as you would like.Anyhow this simple tutorial will show you the methods you need to create a simple 4 to the floor progressive trance or progressive house track.

 You all heard those tracks before where they swept you off your feet and you are left wondering how did they make them

The Methods


What you need. You need samples obviously. You can get cheap samples and templates for Ableton here. If you not a fan of Ableton you can get some great templates for Fl studio here. You not a fan of Fl Studio i hear you you can get some templates and sounds for Cubase here. Then again you could make your own samples with a synth if need be.You could also just use samples you have and make something unique. That is the beauty of progressive trance and techno you could use any sound that is percussive.
Basically what you want to do is build your drum loops very extensive,and sexy. Layer them like crazy all while sounding real thoguh do not over do it.
Then add a new element every 4 bars on top of what you already added. By no means should any space be crowded. Then when everything is added create some rhthmn within.
Then have a drop and start the process all over again. add some vocals whatever.

Im my example tutorial i just included a pad sound to vibe with  that was not really a progressive house sound . I just needed a sound for the tutorial. so i used it.
In the next video i will show you how to make a progressive house lead sound and how to make the melody and chord progression.

How to use groups to speed up your productions

As producers we know how somethings just take too much time. We know there has to be an easy way. Well there is an easy way and it is using groups.This video below is showing you how to use groups to speed up your productions. As a producer im sure you know how long it takes to make each sound and then load all the audio and midi effects and everything else you need for each track and sound can be daunting. It can sometimes take forever to get the sound you want. Instead of doing that and going through that each and every time. The solution is just do it once and save it as a group. Then load that group when needed. If you are not using groups you would be doing yourself a  big favor to watch this video now and to use groups.
