Tutorial


1. Guitar

The song is starting with a guitar chord pattern of chords D, F, C and A# and it goes throughout the end of the song. For this I used the latest Kontakt Library from Chris Hein which is known as Octa and I selected the Stereo Guitar preset which sounds so close to the original one. I also used Acoustic Nylon from Session Guitarist and played these chords just to give a supportive backing.

2.Bass

For recording the Bass just use the same chords which i mentioned earlier. Either you can play the Bass pattern or you can use the preset patterns by the library Prime Bass in Kontakt.

3. Main Lead (Piano and Nylon)

I used a layer of nylon and piano for the vocal part. It was sung by Siddharth Basrur and the voice really apted the Genre of this song. For Nylon tone I used Picked Nylon from Session Guitarist and for Piano i used Noire Pure.

4. Orchestral Drum

While selecting the orchestral drum try to select the one which we usually see in the Hollywood Movies. It really suites for this song. For this i thought of using a library from Kontakt but i preferred the sample packs by KSHMR Vol 3 which has a wide amount of orchestral drum options. Try to select multiple tones and pan those instruments.

5. Snare & Clap

For Snare & Clap also I used the sample packs from KSHMR. I added a big room reverb to both the Snare and Clap. It will give a sound as we hear in the Stadium. For adding reverb I used the Valhalla Room Reverb which is one of the best in the market.

6. Electric Metal Guitar

This is part where the song just uplifts to the scenes in the first look video released. Here just use the basic Metal tone which has a bit of dynamics as well. Also for supportive backing play the same chords in Electric Guitar(not metal) and give it a doubling effect as well. For the Metal Guitar I used Legacy by Shreddage 3 an for the chord section i used Vintage Electric by Session Guitarist.

7. Acoustic Drums

For Acoustic Drums I used a mix of KSHMR loops and the library Thomas Pridgen Drums. The overall drum tone is almost like a rock band type. Also try to mix each elements of the drum separately to give the best result or else there is a high chance of clashing.

GTA IV Beat Making

 GTA IV THEME MUSIC (BEAT MAKING TUTORIAL) In this blog we are looking on how to recreate the theme music of GTA IV. For this i've used Logic Pro as my DAW and i used Akai Mpk Mini as my Midi Keyboard. Now let's look on how we recreate the beat. Tempo - 142 Scale - C minor 1. BASS While recording the bass it's better to layer the tracks to get the perfect sound. Try to add a bass which has a sub effect or select a random bass and remove it high frequency using the equalizer plugin. Nest step is layer it a bass which has a square tone effect. You can remove its low end a bit as there is an instrument which already has a low end. So it will prevent a rumbling unwanted noise. For this i've used the plugin Nexus 3. It has wide amount of bass presets. I've selected the preset Agora for the sub bass and Aggressive Bite for the square tone. Here is the pattern of the bass. 2. RHYTHM The rhythm part is the most grooviest thing of all. For creating the rhythm we need to add ...

What is MIDI? How it Works?

MIDI KEYBOARD AND ITS USE What is MIDI Keyboard and how does it works? MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. It is and Interface between Musical Instruments and Computer. MIDI was invented in early 1980s as a way to let different instruments communicate with each other. MIDI helps us to communicate wit computers so we can use DAWs like FL Studio, Logic Pro X, Ableton, Studio One.. to send information to these devices. A MIDI has 3 inputs. 1. MIDI Out 2. MIDI In 3. MIDI Thru What MIDI Out does is it sends a MIDI signal out of the device and MIDI In takes a MIDI signal inside the device and a MIDI Thru allows it to pass to another device. So basically how it works is when you press a Key or Pad it creates a MIDI message and the message is sent to the device which it is connected. MIDI is just a language, the controller speaks the language and any one who understand it can react to those messages. So you know what else can speak MID, your DAW (Digital Audio Workstation)...

Blinding Lights Beat Making Tutorial

 THE WEEKND - BLINDING LIGHTS (Beat Making Tutorial) Here are the instruments i added to recreate the track. 1. Rhythm For Kick and snare i selected the Acoustic type drums from the KSHMR VOL 3 sound Pack. Apply Kick on 1,3,5, two beats between 6 & 7 and apply kick on 7 as well in 2 bars. Apply snare on every second kick we hear. Give hi-hats on every click we hear. Don't go for any hi-hat rolls, just keep it simple. You can also add dynamics to the hit hats to find it less robotic and more humanized. Follow this pattern: 2. Pads While recreating the Pads try to go for a church organ type pad and mix it with a ambient pad. Layering these two will give a perfect sound. For this i selected analog ensemble(Synth category) and mixed it with ambient pad in Nexus 3. Nexus 3 is one of favourite plugins for adding edm riffs, lead, synth sounds and pads as well. Here is the pads pattern. 3. Bass For bass I used 3 types of tone. First one is the Analog Pulse, second is Square tone and th...
