Are you ready to dive into the world of melodic house music production? In this blog post, we will explore how you can recreate the magic of ADRIATIQUE and GORDO's track "WITH YOU" using Ableton Live. Let's get started!
Understanding the Melodic House Genre
Melodic house is a subgenre of house music that is characterized by its emphasis on melodies, harmonies, and emotional elements. It often features lush pads, intricate arpeggios, and captivating melodies that create a dreamy and atmospheric vibe.
Deconstructing the Track
Before you start your remake, it's essential to deconstruct the original track. Listen closely to the arrangement, sound design, and musical elements used by ADRIATIQUE and GORDO. Pay attention to the drum patterns, bassline, melodies, and effects.
Setting Up Your Project in Ableton Live
Open Ableton Live and create a new project. Set the BPM to match the original track and import any audio stems or MIDI files you may have. Organize your project by grouping similar tracks together, such as drums, bass, synths, and effects.
Recreating the Drum Groove
Start by recreating the drum groove of "WITH YOU" using Ableton's built-in drum samples or your favorite drum VST plugins. Pay attention to the rhythm, velocity, and groove of the drums to capture the essence of the original track.
Designing the Melodic Elements
Next, focus on designing the melodic elements of the track. Use synthesizers, samplers, and effects to recreate the lush pads, arpeggios, and melodies that define melodic house music. Experiment with different sounds and textures to find the perfect combination.
Adding Effects and Processing
Enhance your remake by adding effects and processing to your tracks. Experiment with reverb, delay, compression, and EQ to create depth, space, and movement in your mix. Pay attention to the dynamics and balance of each element to achieve a polished sound.
Finalizing Your Remake
Once you are satisfied with your remake, take the time to fine-tune the arrangement, mix, and master of your track. Compare your version to the original to ensure that you have captured the essence and vibe of ADRIATIQUE and GORDO's "WITH YOU."
By following these steps and using your creativity and musical intuition, you can create a melodic house remake that pays homage to the original track while showcasing your unique style and sound. Have fun experimenting and happy producing!
