Plus, get extra tips on using wavetable synths to create bass and using parallel reverb, using stock Ableton 909 samples and more.

Mina & Juba - EP8

"Don't stress some much about it being perfect, just keep experimenting and trying things."

Mina talks all things dancehall, influences and guides you through her own dancehall riddim, hosted by Juba. In this episode, Mina starts out on her 64 bars by demonstrating how to build a beat layering drums. She also shows how to use stereo wideners to get a more 3D sound, how to keep things varied through your arrangement and, super importantly, how to create and be comfortable with your own sonic identity.

“Never underestimate the power of a really decent sample”

Episode 9 of Limited Edition brings together Kilig and 1-800 GIRLS who work in Logic to demonstrate their process using the DAW to create a deep and melodic breakbeat track. Here the pair share their knowledge of sourcing and using samples - finding kits from their producer peers from Bandcamp, charity shop vinyl and even memes. They also demonstrate working with vocal samples and playing around with the stereo field to make your track headphone listening ready.
