Producing DnB Masterclass

Description

“Producing DnB Masterclass” delivers a complete, start-to-finish breakdown of building a soulful, modern drum & bass track from the ground up. Larry Holcombe walks through every stage of the production process, explaining both the creative choices and technical techniques that shape a cohesive, high-energy DnB track. The training begins with a guided playthrough of the finished song to establish the overall vision and structure. From there, you’ll move into harmony and sound design, using tools such as Scaler 3, Serum, and audio manipulation techniques to create rich chords, evolving pads, and a strong musical foundation. Next, the focus shifts to rhythm and groove. Larry demonstrates how to construct a powerful drum & bass rhythm section using layered breaks and programmed drums, refining punch and clarity with EQ, compression, saturation, and parallel processing. As the track develops, you’ll explore bass design and development, advanced groove techniques, and vocal chopping and processing to add character and movement. The course also covers arrangement strategies, transitions, creative edits, bus processing, automation, and a clean final master designed to retain impact and energy. By the end, you’ll have a clear framework for producing expressive, club-ready drum & bass tracks, along with practical production techniques that can be applied to your own music at any stage of development.
