Ableton Live – Trance Percussion Tutorial [004]

Welcome to the first AM Studios Ableton Live series! In this series, Allan will be going through every step in detail to show you how to make a Trance track from start to finish. This fourth video will cover the Trance Percussion!

Getting your percussion to sit nice and tight with the rest of your track can sometimes be very difficult when you don’t know what you are looking for in terms of the right sounds, and how to fit them properly in your mix.

In this tutorial, Allan will be explaining in a great deal of depth what sounds are needed for this particular style of track and why. Choosing the right sounds is very important to get that pro sound, especially with percussion as if you use the wrong sounds, they can stick out like a sore thumb!

Allan will be going over Trance percussion elements such as your clap, hi-hats, ride, percussion effect hits & percussion loops. He will be showing you the effects used and why he uses them to create that pro-sound, and he will also be showing you how he balances out percussion not to have an unbalanced mix + much more tips and tricks!

All of this will be done in real-time with no pre-planned sounds so you can see the full process as though you were doing it in your studio!

An excellent tutorial covering not only the individual sounds used, but also the processing of them, and how to make sounds sit in the mix better as soon as they are put into the project is extremely helpful. As always, a clear explanation and methodology is provided and will be taking away the notes from this tutorial to implement in my productions. Thanks again Allan
