Thomas welcomes you and then begins with a play-through of the song used in the course, so you’ll know right away what we’ll be aiming for. Then it’s down to business, as Thomas begins on the song’s rhythmic foundation with some drum loops, claps, and other percussion parts. This creates a strong rhythmic framework onto which we can add other parts.

Next, check out how a synth bass part is created with Xpand!2, along with some tips on music theory to help create more interesting bass lines. See how variations can be used for different song sections and also watch how Thomas creates a Reese bass part from a simple lead synth patch.

During the rest of the course, you’ll learn about other elements of the production, including keys & pads (with tips on creating chord progressions), guitar (quantizing a guitar loop), vocal samples and chops (also covering vocal processing), arranging (combining the various parts into one cohesive song), and mixing (blending the elements together in a complementary way).
