This is session 12 of the YouTube Series with Francois PML called "Producer Notes". Episode 012 is analysing the Vocal Melodic House style of This Never Happened artist "Avoure".
Watch and see what we can learn from this style sitting somewhere between Melodic House and Melodic Techno.
The key lessons from this episode are:
- General: nice Clean and groovy, melodic style, not too trancy (would have more reverb)
- The Clue for this track: Its crucial to balance these 4 elements right:
- 1 Kick
- 2 Sustained Sub
- 3 Gritty Legato Bass (we take the grit from this one!) - plays 5ths on top
- 4 Saw Leads
- Toms: adds back the bass groove to an otherwise sustained bass
- Basic Groove: Tom-bass-melody line, Cool “CONGA” super important, Snappy Clap, Shaker Loops
- Harmony: Track moves through modes, sections move the emotional character around slightly
