These sounds include a guitar, piano, pluck and strings, designed with Serum and VPS Avenger synths. More instrumental parts are added to create further textures and melodic elements in the break sections. The main chords hook is used as a basis for 3 different melodic sounds, which are all designed from the ground up with Serum to form the intro of the track. Melodic lines are created and different effects used to process and mix the sound. Kontakt instruments are used to add vocal chops to the arrangement. Both parts are then added to the beats in the arrangement. The main drums elements are imported onto the timeline and laid out to form the basic structure of the track.Īfter importing a MIDI pattern for the main hook and using it to play a Kontakt instrument, a bass is designed from scratch with Serum.
