Music Production Theory & Arrangement Hacks

Description

“Music Production Theory & Arrangement Hacks” shows you how to create professional chord progressions and arrangements using modern songwriting plugins. In this course, Larry Holcombe demonstrates how to streamline the composition process with tools like Captain Chords, Captain Beat, Captain Deep, Scaler 2, and Mixed In Key Studio Edition. The course begins by identifying the key of the provided acapella using Mixed In Key Studio Edition to establish a strong harmonic foundation. From there, you’ll build a drum track with Captain Beat and generate a chord progression using Captain Chords that supports the vocal. Next, you’ll add a bassline with Captain Deep and explore editing and exporting a full arrangement. Additional lessons cover creating melodies, adding arpeggiation, and generating harmonies with Scaler 2. Acapella and audio tracks used in the course are included so you can follow along in your own DAW. By the end, you’ll understand how these plugins can assist with building chord progressions and arranging complete productions efficiently.
