In episode 127 of our Live Electronic Music Tutorial we are making a breakbeat song from absolute scratch using only Logic Pro X instruments and plugins.

Part 1 THE DRUMS: 2:49
Breakbeats is a genre that is dominated by the drums, the kick drums are laid in a non linear sequence unlike most genres of electronic music. We begin by recording a basis kick - snare pattern and get to process the result to launch into this session. We separate the MIDI and mix each element individually so that they can be better mixed at any time. We then program some standard percussion and build a good groove perfect to lay down the bass.

PART 2 THE BASS: 13:35
We set up to record a bassline using the alchemy synth, the idea is an energetic and maybe grungy bassline. Breakbeats are defined by thick, sometimes overpowering bass, this is what we are looking for here. After recording some bass keys we browse patches and are still unsure if it will be final so we decide to move on…

PART 3 THE PADS: 23:55
We add dimension creating pads that will run in the background to create depth and movement.

PARTS 4 ADDING MORE PERCUSSIONS: 29:55
We go back to the percussive elements and add toms and shakers, we also tune some drums to add great variation to the beats. We also use a classic 808 cowbell sound with different keys to create a sub melody to the song. We have a solid breakbeats groove going on now.

PART5 ADDING FX PADS 38:22
We find a fat preset that fits our big beat breakbeat theme to perfection and add two layers of it to the track.

PART6 RECORDING THE LEAD SOUND: 43:45
We browse presets to finally land on a deep spacy preset and we record a simple melody from it, we then decide to browse the sounds furter and find an idea intriguing preset.

PART 7 THE MIXDOWN: 47:37
After adding all the elements we know it is time for a complete mixdown from scratch, we lower all the elements to zero and start the mix from scratch.

May the sounds be with you!
