Puzzled Desire - Exploring Melodic House Production #
Jan 19, 2023 Tutorial
In this video, I demonstrate how to create a melodic house/techno track from scratch. I start by creating a polygrid with a filter, envelope, and output, and then modulating the pitch with a step mode. I then add a kick drum, bass line, and percussion elements to the track, and use effects such as auto level, delays, and a reverb to create a more interesting sound. I also use the note side chain to duck the music with the kick drum.
