Myloops Adam Ellis Trance Production Tutorials #4 – Atmosphere TUTORIAL
Size 449 Mb

This is the fourth episode in a 12 part series of tutorial videos dedicated to Trance Music Production. This series will cover every aspect of music production (apart from Mastering) and will continually develop your skills when applied correctly. Episode 1 (Starting Template) is available here, Episode 2 (Structure) here and Episode 3 (Groove) here.

Episode 4 starts off where the previous episode ended. We have our basic “starting template” done, as well as an overall structure and arrangement sections in place, and we’ve created a groove with various percussive and drum elements. We now want to add atmosphere and ambience to our track, which is a critical aspect of trance music production. What should we use, when should the atmospheres play and how should they be placed in the mix ? How do we add depth and give a space to each sound ? In this episode, Adam Ellis starts with a basic template (kick, bass, crashes) and goes on to develop a multi-layered atmospheric section that makes the track instantly sound more professional and polished. You’ll also find out how the work done in Episodes 1 and 2 (essentially preparing all the channels and busses) will prove extremely useful for building the actual atmospheric layers.

WHO IS THIS TUTORIAL FOR ?

This tutorial is for artists who want to work faster and improve their sound at the same time. It’s aimed at Logic Pro X users, but the tricks you will learn can also be applied in other DAWs.
