Course Description

Producing a Future Bass track from start to finish inspired by artists like Flume, San Holo, Cashmere Cat, Odesza

Required:

  • Basic understanding of using Ableton (like loading files, creating MIDI clips, loading instruments)
  • Ableton Live 9.2 Standard (or higher)
  • VST: NI Massive (1.3xx or higher)
  • no other 3rd party plugins needed (SERUM would be optional)


The course will take around 5+ hours and walk you through:

  • Idea generation (first in Session View, later we switch to Arrangement View)
  • Writing powerful Future Bass chords and advanced MIDI writing techniques
  • Writing fat and powerful drums
  • Writing melodies
  • Sound Design (with NI Massive - and optional with Operator and Serum)
  • Making vocal chops and glides
  • Creating chord slides, glides, pitch effects, LFO shapes and techniques, frequency shiftings
  • Filtering, EQing, Vibrato, Envelope shaping
  • Layering and sound stacking
  • Creating crazy little fills and breaks for huge drops
  • Creating Future Bass arpeggios and melodies
  • Adding sphere with resampling and reversing sounds
  • Creative arrangement (taking your 8 Bar loops and turning them into a full song)
  • Mixing: We are completely mixing the track using techniques like "Frequency Masking", Mid-Side mixing, and many more
  • Mastering: in the end we are fully mastering the track with a custom Ableton effect rack chain.
  • Bonus: Serum sound designs, more vocal chops, ..

As a beginner I feel there is a lot of interface/DAW learning to be had. The results of what he is teaching are no doubt incredible! I just wish there was more of (to show "Midi from" then enable the I/O switch on the right side.) Yes that would've been awesome - I spent an hour looking for a tutorial on YouTube just to figure that one out!

By Daniel Rosenberg on 2/14/2023

Super Kurs, sehr gut erklärt und Schritt für Schritt sehr übersichtlich! Habe schon einiges umgesetzt in eigenen Kompositionen. Sowas bekommt man sonst nicht erklärt irgendwo.

By Trinayan on 4/23/2022

I am doing each and every step exactly as Francois has taught and the progress has been massive. This is a great course for any intermediate producer who would like to level up their skills in future bass. Can use these techniques in other genres as well.

By Igor Nikolaienko on 2/8/2021

Amazing, amazing, amazing! I've been never hyped by any course, but that is special one. Ohhh my God, how long I was waiting for qualitative "how to make" Future Bass / Melodic Dubstep / Chillstep music. Please, please more materials on Future Bass :)

By Robert Pr on 12/1/2020

Missing a couple of things. I had a fresh install so clicking on notes in the midi editor didnt make a sound. I googled for a bit and realized you have to click on that small headphone icon above the piano. Also, you dont explain how to duplicate notes (on mac you have to hold the option key and then drag it). Other than that great course so far

By Jamie s on 3/22/2019

Teacher doesn't show what keys he is pressing and does not highlight his clicks or mouse. Extremely hard to follow.

By Seuj Sundar Kalita on 2/28/2019

The project is very practical in nature and one can gain a lot of insight into Future Bass, EDM, Midi programming of EDM drums and chords, arpeggios, making arrangements and learning to use midi editor in ableton. A little bit of sound design is also covered. This program made EDM DAW arrangement learning easier ! Worth learning !

By Bjørn Skalkam on 1/17/2018

Very happy with this Udemy course. The basics (and sound design) are very well explained in the start, and then generally making a track with presets is done in the middle of the course. It feels fast/rushed, but that's generally because there's not that much sound design and people should make their own sounds anyway. I'm only halfway through the course. Keep that in mind.

By Les Leayr on 10/25/2016

Good so far. Just needs a bit more explanation of why things are being done. And more about the structure of future bass but so far I am making a track that sounds the same

By Paul Stone on 10/10/2016

I've been producing for over 10 years and this course is great. He makes some really good sounding music here and takes you through the process, I really respect his skills, alot of people teach about making tracks but they don't sound that great.. but this is really quality stuff.. thanks for sharing, and keep it up!!
