Course description

Kicking off our Melodic House and Techno Takeover, we're proud to welcome new tutor Julian van Straten AKA Bound to Divide, as he shares an epic course creating a new track - 'Reflections'.

Using his track 'Tears' as a reference, we begin by breaking down and recreating a drum and instrumental loop idea that Julian has written before taking the track further with arranging out, changing up certain aspects and adding transitions so the track is constantly evolving, and keeping the listener interested. We finish by mixing the track and carrying out a basic master so the track can be played out.

Packed with pro advice, tips, tricks and sound design - this course is an epic insight into how a track can unfold from a loop to a fully completed masterpiece with easy-to-follow instructions as you take on this journey.

But that's not all...

To celebrate this event, we're hosting a brand new Remix Competition where you can use your newfound skills and make your very own version of this track with some incredible and exclusive prizes up for grabs!
Find out more by clicking on the 'REMIX COMPETITION' tab!

Competition ends 5th Nov 2024 - 23:59 PT
