This is a progressive house track i’m working on. My goal with this track is to keep it simple. To be this track feels like a bridge between tracks but doesn’t feel forced, just a cool groove with a good beat, which IMO is an essential piece in a good mix.
Another progressive house track i’m working on. Massive pumping vibe in it. The arrangement is wack but the idea is here.
I didn’t know what genre to call this but some homies on discord described it as French House, which it now makes sense because it has those Daft punk kinda vibes. It’s still a work in progress. I’m stuck on some of the volumes/ mixing. I have. another version where I isolated the components in the sample I used and it just doesn’t feel the same. I just need to dedicate some time and get back into to dial it in.
Pronounced PAH-SEE, meaning passion. I named it that because progressive house is my true passion for music, I have so many types of music I love, but I always find myself going back to progressive house for my “feel good” songs. Something about the energy and that feeling of a tingling going though your body when that big lead/ female vocal comes on really resonates to me.
Back to the track.
This track I spent a lot of time on, It has gone through multiple variations, a complete 180 from what it started as.
As for some technicals about the track: I sampled the kick and snare from Eric Prydz “Liberate” (one of my favorite tracks), FX are all from Vengeance packs re-tuned to fit the song, melody is my own, lead was made on ANA 2. It’s interesting how this lead was made, I originally made a track that had a variation I didn’t use, so I used that variation. Fun fact; this variation only sounded how it sounded at a particular octave and with a arpeggiator on it, why? IDK.
So I took that variation and tried to develop a song out of it, which didn’t quite turn out…yet, so I changed the pattern some more and played with filter cutoffs to develop how the sound is now.
I had a lot of fun playing with the filter cutoff and ARP to really open up the lead synth sound throughout the track.
For my master: I used a fletcher-munson curve rack with a Justin Jay rack that really pumps up the sound with a saturator and overdrive,. Next time I probably will just put the overdrive and saturator on the lead instead of the whole track.
My mastering skills still suck ass, but that’ll get better the more I produce. Overall, I think it turned out pretty good. Enjoy!
