Vocal Hooks: Tech House w/ D.Ramirez TUTORIAL

Vocal Hooks: Tech House w/ D.Ramirez TUTORIAL

Vocals are one of the most important elements of any music, as they are often where the epicentre of expression in a track is located. When it comes to electronic music, this is perhaps even more true, as they provide the human connection to sounds that could otherwise feel cold and lifeless. This philosophy pertains strongly to the music of D.Ramirez, the magisterial DJ and producer from Sheffield who brings his vocal hook prowess to an action-packed series of courses that cover seven electronic genres. In this course, he dives deep into vocal hooks within the Tech House genre.

D.Ramirez is a bona fide star whose music has taken him to every corner of the globe in a sparkling career that has seen him operating at full throttle for over twenty years. He’s manned the ones and twos in some the worlds’ best clubs from Space & Cream Ibiza, Womb in Tokyo and Avalon in LA; and dropped iconic sets at festivals like Glastonbury, Global Gathering and Australia Day in Sydney. Initially known for almost single-handedly coining the famed electrohouse sound, D.Ramirez has moved seamlessly into deep house and techno stylings in the last decade, and his ability to flip an acapella into a chart-topping vocal are unparalleled.

In this course, D.Ramirez teaches you everything you need to know to find and deploy acapellas to create earworm vocal hooks in your electronic productions. You’ll learn the ins and outs of modern sampling techniques, using content platforms like YouTube as well as royalty-free sample subscription services like Splice. Never one to do things by halves, D.Ramirez breaks down the finer points of arrangement, editing and effects processing.

D.Ramirez production chops have led to him collecting accolades from the likes of DJ Magazine (best producer and best remix), iDJ (player of the year) and even an Ivor Novello nomination for his remix of Bodyrox ‘Yeah Yeah’. He’s even been on Top of the Pops! All of these accolades only confirm the high regard D.Ramirez is held in in the dance music community, which makes him the ideal instructor for this unmissable vocal hooks masterclass. Whether you want to know how to find the best acapellas out there today, or how to write, record and refine original vocals, this course is the one for you!

  • Chapter 0: Tech House Intro
    D.Ramirez tees up this lesson on finding tech house vocal hooks on YouTube and recording, processing and adding them to your arrangement.
  • Chapter 1: YouTube Acapellas
    Countless artists in today’s era sample from YouTube, and D.Ramirez explores the source acapellas from some of his favourite tracks.
  • Chapter 2: Search Keywords
    The search function on YouTube is crucial to finding acapellas, so D.Ramirez takes you through a list of specialised tech house keywords.
  • Chapter 3: Sourcing and Sampling
    D.Ramirez auditions YouTube acapellas based on lyrical content and tone, and tours a popular application for recording computer audio.
  • Chapter 4: Editing Samples in Ableton
    Building on a rough tech house arrangement, D.Ramirez uses time-stretching and pitch-shifting to find vocal chops to suit the track.
  • Chapter 5: Further Editing
    After building his pool of vocal chops, D.Ramirez freezes and flattens them into small audio clips that can be used in a drum rack.
  • Chapter 6: Building the Arrangement
    D.Ramirez titles the vocal chops, and then works his way through a vocal arrangement by assembling and placing them where they work best.

In the Studio with Detlef [UNCUT] TUTORIAL

In the Studio with Detlef [UNCUT] TUTORIAL

Do you get bogged down in the technical aspects of music production? If your workflow would benefit from less time tweaking compressor and EQ settings and more time actually feeling the music you’re making, this is the course for you.

Tech house maven Detlef will show you exactly how he gets his beats to bang and his basslines to move, but most importantly, it’s the things he doesn’t do that make this course worth watching. The Greek producer – aka Alexander Georgiandis – may have made waves in the tech house scene, but his no-nonsense production philosophy and less-is-more attitude make for essential watching for producers of any genre.

For more than two hours, you’ll watch as Detlef shows you exactly how his projects are put together, first dismantling his tracks “JayDee” and “Music Please” to show exactly what went into them. Next, he pulls together a whole track from scratch, explaining his thought processes and decisions along the way. You’ll be surprised at how simple the DAW projects are, and how quickly the techniques he used were able to create the sounds in the project.

Although he has some plugins to show along the way, Detlef’s tactics are effective for their simplicity. Most of what he accomplishes is done using Ableton Live’s stock effects and instruments, but these capabilities are provided in every single other DAW as well. Detlef also dishes out some of his tastiest techniques, outlining three ways to make hi-hats and percussion wider, and quick tactics for working directly with audio.

So, get ready to discover the art of simplicity and build the techniques you learn into your own studio projects to make tracks faster.

Groove3 Mastering with Ozone 11 Explained TUTORIAL

Groove3 Mastering with Ozone 11 Explained TUTORIAL

Long considered a standard in the world of mastering, iZotope’s Ozone plug-in suite speaks for itself. If you’ve recently upgraded to Ozone 11 (or are getting ready to), you’re in the right place! In this Ozone 11 video course, mastering guru Larry Holcombe takes you on an informative voyage through Ozone 11’s mastering features, demonstrating each with various musical examples, including four full tracks in various genres! These videos are designed for users with little or no Ozone 11 experience.

Larry begins by introducing the series and highlighting the newly added features in Ozone 11 that pertain to mastering. Then he shows you how to generate a customized effect chain with Master Assistant and then quickly tweak it to suit your needs more specifically. You’ll then see how to get more detailed in this regard, including editing the various parameters in different modules to achieve your desired result.

Next, you’ll explore the new Stem Focus feature, which allows you to process only specific sounds, such as a bass guitar or a drumset, without harming the rest of the mix. See this in action as Larry shows you how to fix problematic drums and vocals in an electronic pop track. The Transient/Sustain mode is covered after this, with which you’ll learn how to treat drums that need more punch, muddy sustain in mixes, clashing kick and bass, and more.

Other topics in the course include vocal balancing (determining the proper vocal balance by comparing against the analyzed reference tracks), upward compression and Clarity module (for taming resonances and bringing buried areas forward), and four different real-world mastering scenarios in different genres: singer-songwriter, hip-hop, electronic pop, and rock.

If you have any experience with Ozone, you know it’s always being improved with new smart features that make creating pro-quality mixes easier and faster. With this Ozone mixing course, you’ll be up to date with all the latest and greatest the software has to offer and can be sure you’re making the most of everything, starting with your very next production.

What’s more, you’ll have access to all the tracks from the session, so you can participate along with the video in your own DAW.
