Groove3 Producing Amapiano Explained [TUTORiAL]
P2P | 14 December 2024 | 197 MB
Join veteran Groove3 instructor Gary Hiebner for a comprehensive course on producing a song in the Amapiano subgenre. This popular style, which originated in South Africa in the 2010s, combines elements of deep house, jazz, kwaito, and more in a unique and compelling way. You'll learn about all the conventions and elements commonly found in this style, including instrumentation, arrangement, processing, and mixing ideas. By the end of this Amapiano production course, you'll be well on your way to creating your first Amapiano hit!
Gary starts off with an overview of the Amapiano genre, including its common features and what all will be covered in this course. Then it's off to the races, and Gary begins by focusing first on programming a kick pattern, designing the kick sound, and adding a hi-hat pattern and a shaker. Then he finishes establishing the core drum track by adding snare, claps, and rimshot, the latter of which features a counter rhythm to generate musical interest.
Next, Gary builds upon this foundation with some auxiliary percussion, including bongos, congas, djembe, and cymbals (and reverse cymbals!). With the percussion out of the way, Gary turns to an electric piano to create the chord progression for the song, along with a layered pad on top. This is followed by some extra synth stabs from Retrologue, which are treated with delay to bounce the synth part around the stereo field.
Over the rest of the course, you'll learn about other elements in the production, including the log drum hook (selecting/processing the sound, creating the melody, etc.), log drum rolls (creating percussive 16th- and 32nd-note rolls for the log drum), electric jazz guitar (sophisticated jazz chords), vocal samples (re-pitching, editing, and processing), arranging the song (choosing which parts to use where to build the song form), and more!
This genre is a lot of fun, and the same goes for producing it. By the time you're through with this Amapiano production course, you'll have a strong grasp of the integral elements that make up an Amapiano track and the ability to create them in your own productions. See the individual Producing Amapiano video tutorial descriptions for more info on everything that's covered and how you can use these ideas in your next track. Learn how to craft your next hit...
