This week Haterade’s back with an all-new ‘How To Make’ course, and this time he’s creating an epic synth-pop track in the style of The Weeknd!
With an upbeat tempo, the song ‘Earn Your Love’ has 80’s vibes throughout and awesome vocals from Nashville based Nate Gott.
In this course, Haterade starts with a blank canvas before adding synthwave drums, layered basses and synth lines using ANA 2 with plenty of processing tips and tricks along the way. We then arrange the track out, bring in vocal lines which include stacks, octaves and harmonies and then process these too before carrying out a mix and master.
Utilising ANA 2’s synthwave pack presets to the max and easy to follow, the final result is a classic synth-pop tune that sits right up there with the current trend.
where are the patches for the Ana2 presents? can’t see how to recreate them and they dont’t appear in my library. Would be good to get a breakdown of how the synths are done if not. Thanks!
It’s not possible to use those vocals in any commercial release as mentioned in the User License agreement you need to agree with when downloading the course resource.
Haven’t been through this course yet, so I’m not sure about the origin for those vocals but usually there’s 2 case scenarios : vocals recorded for a song and therefore copyrighted by the singer, song writer, song producer or vocals recorded to produce a sample pack an copyrighted by the label, sound pack reseller, distributor.
In the 1st case you need to ask written clearance and permission to use the vocals, in the2nd case you usually acquire usage rights through a single user license when you buy this sample pack.
great tutorial; a bit fast at the start - a bit more mansplaining would be good all around e.g. F9 phat etc. but hey great use of ableton functionality like envelopes on the pitch down etc - but pls. Noah: more “teaching” rather than point and click = “guys ya gotta gain stage…” well maybe explain what gain staging actually is, what it does and why… cheers
Thank you for reaching out on the forums about this
So yes, 2 things here :
1 - Corrupted Download : Yes, seems there’s an issue with the .zip archive that’s giving error during extraction. This will be repacked and updated, thanks for pointing this out
2 - Softwares use for each course : On each course’s page, if you scroll down the page you will see a Software section summing up the software used in each course
