Course description

Protoculture's back with a new video - and this time, he's checking out ways to help build tension in our tracks.

We look at the classic ways of achieving this before diving into more subtle ways to keep the track interesting and moving. Utilizing gradual synced LFO curves applied to our sounds, we can constantly build and reset the tension over several bars.

These can be assigned to anything from pitch modulation to effects and even duplicated and inverted to fade in and out to create a constant Shepard Tone effect.

Packed with super useful techniques to help build that anticipation your listeners crave!

Check it out!
