We had some requests for a remake on Major Lazer. So here's a remake of Major Lazer - Lean On (feat. MØ & DJ Snake) made in Ableton Live 9 using NI Massive.  Prerequisites: What you need: Ableton Live 9 (Standard is enough for copied simpler versions of the sound packs) & NI MASSIVE VST A drum sample pack, maybe some bongo sounds as well Look for some decent String sounds (eg. The Orchestral Strings Ableton Pack)  Then you're good to go for a remake in this style!   Watch the full tutorial here:    - Check our Tropical House Preset Pack for NI...

(Disclosure - You & Me (Flume Remix) style remake Ableton Live only) Since we are big fans of Flume's style, we kept asking ourselves how he does his sound design and melody editing.

  We got this message the other day: "The biggest issue for me is how to take a cool 8-bar loop (which I've made many of!) and turn it into a good 120-bar song. Arrangement, transitions, variations in chords, melody, drums, etc." You're probably familiar with the problem. You have a nice idea for a beat that lasts 8 bars (sometimes 4 or 16 as well). You like the idea, but you're not sure how to make a full track out of it. So in this video we're going to try to help you come up with some ideas for...
