Deep House 2018 with P-LASK

View Course

Following his popular Ableton courses with us, Sonic Academy proudly welcomes back LA based Paul Laski aka P-LASK for his first ‘How To Make’ course, and this week we’re building a groove laden Deep House track from scratch.

Released on Modern Classics, P-LASK recreates his tune ‘Bring It Right Back’ - featuring hip vocal samples interacting with each other on top of a distinct Garage groove that is sure to evoke Danny Tenaglia like New York loft party vibes.

Starting with a template, we build different grooves in the session view before adding bass lines, the all important jazz style chords, sampled pads, sax and vocals, so we have a variety of loops to choose from.
We then build a selection of different scenes so we can record them live into the arrangement view before going more in-depth to edit and tweak our arrangement into a more structured song.

Finally we add automation to create interest and help with transitions, before mixing down the track and carrying out a self-master so it’s ready for the club.

Packed full of tips and tricks from a certified Ableton instructor, we guarantee you’ll pick up some new techniques to take your skillz to the next level with this one!

Enjoy!

where can I find the P-Lack Bass preset for ANA 2?

Hey @TopKnife

Are you following the tutorial on Ableton Live ? If yes, is the preset not loading with the project file.
haven’t been through the tut yet, to tell you right now.

You’re talking about the “Tutorial 05 - Bass” video BTW ??

Yes.
But i found that the same preset (with a diferent name) opens with the bass track of the project file that can be dowloaded with the tutorial.
Thanks

Not deep house, unless the definition of what deep house actually is has changed in the past six months. Not very housey at all.

great tutorial, sax is a great sounding sample and quantising the vocal to 1/8 is a great trick. followed the tutorial pretty closely and developed into my own thing along the way.

great tutorial to get up to speed on new Ableton - Paul’s repute as a “certified Ableton trainer” translates well here: he nicely lays out his explanations with just the right blend of “step-by-step” and “why I’m doing this” - Paul is an excellent teacher. Thanks for this tutorial - regardless of your genre, this one seems “essential” viewing if you want to get your head around Ableton
