In this 'How To Sound Like’ Tutorial we show you how to create a Funk Fueled Electro House style track as made popular by the likes of Fedde Le Grand!
You are taken from the first steps of programming in your drums and bassline and guitar parts right through to the end where we take an in depth look at Arrangement!
In the first section we set up our drums, import guitar parts, create basslines, synth sounds & vocals! We also set up a few send/return tracks to add some delay and reverb to our track!

This is the exact reason why it pisses me off when people come on this forum and start moaning they arn’t getting their moneys worth.
I’d pay £40/£60 for this tutorial alone! (If i wasn’t so broke lol)

Good 1 Bryan. Excellent tutorial!
Loads of new tricks.
Truth be told I’ve more than had my moneys worth from this site but human nature being what it is I can’t wait for another tutorial. Love it.
Anyways thanks to the SA team for yet another superb tutorial much appreciated.
wooooow :)good job sonicacademy crew
Just watched the first vid. Great job guys. I’m really glad you have went so in depth with this video. The amount of tips I will be getting of these videos are amazing.
Thanks SA:):):)
WOW
This one is a killer.
Thanks…
hey guys just finished the electro house tute and gotta say it was truly stunning !!!
.
Im gonna go lay down and rest my spinning brain!
I got most of it finished this weekend, but I was wondering how the drums were laid down. Just curious Bry if you could explain how/why you did what you did with the drums. Just curious. thanks bro.
Hey Bryan,
Just got through the whole tutorial. Learned a lot of tips, and especially liked the Arrangement.als template, but if I could say one thing…
Some of the videos and steps feel like they read like a paint-by-numbers tutorial. I’m really not interested in hearing that I need to tune a ping pong delay to 3kHz (or whatever it was), I want to know why and where I should be tuning it to for my own tracks and sounds.
You kind of just told us what delay time we should set up, and what compressor release settings to use, etc. I can copy the steps easily, and read the settings from your Ableton project. But I’m really just trying to figure out what I should be experimenting with and what’s tried and true.
Same goes for a lot of the sounds. It was nice of you to provide the presets, but I wouldn’t mind seeing a ground-up build of the individual sounds, with experimentation and mistakes included (turning a knob too far, or going back and editing a sound). It’s not like synthesis hasn’t been covered in other tutorials, and you did discuss some details, but it’s the little side comments like “when I’m going for an electro lead, as opposed to a trance one, I really like to do _______” and comments like “when applying said effect, this knob is really useful” instead of “turn knob to 3.5” that really teach us a lot.
Anyway, sorry for the mini-rant. Please take it with a grain of salt – like I said – the tutorial was very good, I learned a LOT, and I’m super excited to see the Minimal one :P:D
Keep up the great work!
I do agree completely. My comment above was referring to the drums, but I would like to know as well “why” you do what you do. Anyone can copy what another does, but not everyone knows why.
hi guys,
as much as i’d like to show you from the ground up everything, you’re probably talking about another 23 videos to cover that!
the drums set up to sound like a particular drum loop i was listening to, and likewise so were the basses! i was just showing you how to create this particular sound, - electro house - fedde le grand
the fidget electro focused on sysnthesis, and this tutorial focused on arrangement! unfortunately we can’t go into depth in both areas and also offer the videos up as often as we do!
ill try and do a tech tip on the drums to explain their setup tho!
bry
and the thing we can’t get in any of the tuts is the fact to try out by ourselves I think… Long but interesting process
bry, on what day of the week the techno tut will go online?
