Sonic Academy proudly welcomes new tutor Andreas Ort aka Dualistic for an all-new course in How To Make Liquid Drum n Bass.
Hailing from Haarlem on the outskirts of Amsterdam and signed to Liquicity Records, Dualistic can be defined by his uplifting melodies and touching harmonies, and with a background as an improvising pianist, he certainly knows his way around the keys!

In this 3 hour, 14 part course Dualistic takes us step by step through the process of creating this atmospheric, melodic, groove-laden track that's a sure-fire hit with any fans of this genre.
Starting with his methods of getting creative quickly, we check out ways of creating our own unique kick before building the characteristic percussive groove and bass lines. Next, we look at the importance of chord structure and progressions and then carry on with filling the track with harmonic melodies, transitions and ambient FX, before arranging and finally mastering the track.
