This is one of the most exciting modules in my opinion. If you know my sound, you know I love bass lines.
Throughout these classes I’m going to show you how to create from scratch different types of bass sounds that I often use in my own tracks, how to combine them giving melody examples and some precious tricks to make your bass line sounds BIG!
Together with the BASS LINE module you’ll get some of my exclusive bass sounds presets, a template of the class on Logic Pro X and MIDI files of the melodies from this module.

My music is often recognized by the big synths in it, and synths are something that I love.
In this module I’m going to show you how to create, craft and combine your synths to have a full spectrum in your track.
Through simple, yet effective techniques, we’re going to dive deep in the world of textures.
Together with the SYNTHS module, you’ll get some of my exclusive synth presets, a template on Logic Pro X and MIDI files of the melodies on this module.

GRATITUDE
Like telling a story, arranging a track is also a journey. To build a sonic timeline can be challenging, especially when it comes to put all the sounds together in a mix.
That’s why I created this module! I decided to put arrangement and mix together, because it’s actually how I make my tracks. As I add new elements and arrange, I am already mixing.
Here, you’ll learn the way I mix and arrange in a fun and simple way. I’ll write a track from start to finish, so then you can improve your storytelling.
Together with the ARRANGEMENT & MIX modules, you’ll get the Logic Pro X file from the finished track.

MEDITATION
I love to make edits of my favourite tracks. It’s my way to pay tribute to artists and bands that inspired me and the music I make.
This is when I have most fun ever and that’s why I make so many edits.
I’m going to show you how I choose a track that I really like (which is already finished), put it into the right tempo, select, cut, sample and edit the best parts of it and then create my own version of the original song.
Together with the EDITS modules, you’ll get a FX sample pack created by me.

For these Masterclasses I teach you How I Made some of my biggest hits.

Caitlin’s “Freaks & Misfits” remix I showed you how I transform original stems into my own sounds.
“The Eye Of The Beholder” I show you how I made every sound!
“Interstellar” I show you how to transform a simple idea into a big track.
“Bipolar Star” Remix, you’ll see how I get the original parts and turn then into my own sound. It’s all about being creative
