Soulecta is quickly becoming one of the UK’s most exciting up-and-coming producers with heavy support from names like DJ EZ, Majestic, DJ Q, DJ Target, AC Slater and more. Hot on the heels of the release of his debut album ‘Soulecta & Friends’ and his huge collab with SHOSH and MC Neat, Soulecta has delivered his first ever production tutorial in the shape of another exclusive entry in our ‘The Sound Of…’ series.
Covering the production processes and techniques behind two of his biggest tracks to date – ‘On My Knees’ and ‘We No Speak London’ with the latter featuring on his new album and released on FooR’s Garage Shared label – Soulecta teaches you the skills needed to make funky UKG-inspired tracks which bring together a broad range of production techniques including:
– How to process vocals using the UAD SLL 4000 E Channel strip and use various reverb and EQ techniques to keep the vocal under control
– How to use Ableton’s Simpler to manipulate samples and turn them into your main hook
– How to use Ableton’s Drum Rack to create powerful percussion
– How to use headphones to reference the low-end when mixing down
– How to use plugins to create piano loops, effects and huge basslines
Providing a detailed look at a range of key Ableton-based production techniques, the transferable skills covered by Soulecta will inspire your workflow and help you take your projects to the next level, no matter which genre you prefer to work in.
