For this series, it’s all about the hard and heavy sounds of Midtempo inside of ableton!
If you’re unfamiliar with the genre Midtempo, think of a tempo of around 100bpm, heavy drums, bitcrushed basses and dark moody leads/arps. Or perhaps you’ve heard of epic midtempo artists like REZZ, 1788-L, K?d, Blanke or LICK?….
I figured this series was long overdue on our channel and what fun it has been! It’s always an absolute blast creating a new track from scratch on the channel. In this series, Im covering: Sound Design, Composition, Arrangment, Mixing, Fx Processing and More!
