Groove3 HyperPop Production Explained TUTORIAL
In this inspiring HyperPop production video course, studio guru Gary Hiebner will teach you how to craft your own HyperPop productions in the style of A.G. Cook, SOPHIE, QT, and others. From the extreme processing/layering to the distorted drums and more, you’ll learn the most common components and techniques of this energetic, animated genre with plenty of audio examples along the way – not to mention Gary will show you the exact plugins he’s using throughout. These videos are for those with a basic familiarity of their DAW, routing, and electronic music.
Gary kicks things off by explaining what exactly is meant by the term “HyperPop” and what that entails, followed by a demonstration of the featured song’s chord progression and tempo. Then you’ll learn how to construct a solid 808-style bass sound with Vital, which will function as the heartbeat of our song, as well as some techniques for layering and further processing the bass for an exaggerated effect that’s par for the course in the HyperPop genre.
Next, explore the subject of HyperPop drums, as Gary demonstrates various beat styles (simple pop, trap, and pop punk) and ideas for making them more complex via a combination of different drum hits. Discover also how to process the drums (compression, multi-band compression, clipping, saturation, distortion) and combine them with imported break loops to complement the sound.
Throughout the rest of the course, you’ll learn plenty more concepts, including creating a high lead synth, creating a chiptune-style lead (using Vital), processing (Auto-Tune, EQ, compression, distortion, reverb, etc.) and layering vocals, building an arrangement, synth fillers and trance synths, distorted snares, vocal formant shifting, chopped/stuttered fills, tempo changes, transition effects, and more!
If you’re ready to try your hand at HyperPop, this is the course you need! By the end, you’ll be well-versed in all the tools, tips, and techniques commonly used in the HyperPop style, not to mention arrangement, melodic, and harmonic ideas as well.
