Video Tutorials
1. PML - Remake of Afro House Track ‘Move’ by Adam Port
François from Production Music Live shows us how to recreate a track in the style of ‘Move’ by Adam Port, Keinemusik, Stryv, Orso and Malachiii.
Key elements from the track:
Low-End: Sustained bass, clean punchy kick
One note synth (rhythmically, morphing)
Deep Vibe Pads in the background
"Latin" Clap, Perc and Tom elements playing together
Shakers for groove and timing
Organic sounding Piano element in the background
Dreamy, almost RnB-like Vocal
Fx: percs, drum rolls, etc
While this video is focused on the Afro House genre, you could still use some of these elements in other music styles including Organic House and Progressive House
Watch the video and get inspired!

Plugins
Free Plugin - Refire by Outobugi
Click on image to get your FREE Plugin
Refire is a comprehensive drum processing chain packed into a single plugin, making it easy to get the snap and slap you need from your drum bus.
It offers five major processors to help you shape your drums.
The best part: it is completely FREE!
Note: Refire is a Windows-only plugin and requires a 64-bit host. The only supported plugin format is VST3, so Pro Tools users will need a wrapper to use them effectively.
That’s a wrap!
