Having hit the top of the Beatport charts on numerous occasions with his tracks and his own label, Jacky & Friends, you will learn a lot from this larger-than-life electronic artist who has worked his way up to the top.

About This Course
In this session, DJ & Producer Jacky shows you the best way to arrange a house track in Ableton Live.

Jacky picks up where he left off in the previous masterclass (see ‘How to build a house track from start to finish). He demonstrates the best way to arrange your musical ideas in order to turn them into a full house track.

You will learn:

• Techniques and tips for arranging your tracks
• How to arrange an entire track quickly
• How to make a breakdown
• How to make a powerful drop

Lessons: 

1. Introduction
Jacky introduces himself and reviews the project files we worked on in the previous masterclass ‘How To Build A House Track From Scratch’. He shows you how to create a new bassline for a house track and how he uses Ableton Live’s stock plugins: auto filter, saturator, EQ and compression.

2. Mixing the bass & kick
How to mix a bassline with a kick drum. Jacky shows you how he applies sidechaining and EQ to ensure that kick and bass sit together cleanly in the mix. You will learn how to modify your basslines to make them more interesting to listeners.

• Sidechaining the bass
• Adding variation to your bassline
• Q & A: “For techno, where does the kick frequency need to be in order to not clash with the bass? And how do you EQ your kick and bass?”

3. Arrangement Techniques
Learn how to arrange a track. Jacky teaches you how to turn your ideas and loops into an entire song. Get an exclusive look at Jacky and Mat.Joe’s forthcoming track ‘Never Be The Same’ and see how they have arranged their track, using ‘tension and release’ and LFOs in the breakdown to create a bigger, harder hitting impact on the drop.

• Frequently Asked Questions:

  1. Innovative Business Model:
     • Embrace the reality of a genuine business! Our approach involves forming a group buy, where we collectively share the costs among members. Using these funds, we purchase sought-after courses from sale pages and make them accessible to individuals facing financial constraints. Despite potential reservations from the authors, our customers appreciate the affordability and accessibility we provide.
  2. The Legal Landscape: Yes and No:
     • The legality of our operations falls into a gray area. While we lack explicit approval from the course authors for resale, there’s a technicality at play. When procuring the course, the author didn’t specify any restrictions on resale. This legal nuance presents both an opportunity for us and a boon for those seeking budget-friendly access.

     • Delving into the heart of the matter – quality.
