Ableton Live: Producing Alternative R&B

Description

Studio pro Thomas Cochran delivers in-depth Ableton Live production video tutorials! See how to make a complete Alternative R&B song in the style of Frank Ocean and The Weekend from scratch, step-by-step using only Ableton Live. This course is for those who are already familiar with Ableton Live, but want to learn Alternative R&B sound design and production techniques. You also get the samples and presets used in the videos so you can follow along on your studio system.

Thomas welcomes you and starts with a play-through of the Alternative R&B track you'll be making together, and then shows you how to lay the foundation of the track by creating and programming vibey lofi synth chords, and then the drums and percussion parts using classic drum machine sounds and more.

Bass guitar is next, and you'll see how to add a vintage inspired bass guitar to the track, as well as how a parallel processed layer can be used to create a dreamy chorusy bass part, perfect for this genre. More keys are then designed and added, such as a rich Junoesque key sound, classic Rhodes part, Glass Synth keys and even a cool wah-wah guitar sound for that throw back R& B feel.

Throughout the rest of the videos Thomas shows you how to work up the arrangement, add transitions and fills, get the verse and chorus vocals recorded and sounding polished like a major release, and much more.
