Arjun Vagale Elite Session Masterclass - Part One

Arjun briefly discusses his long background and active involvement in India’s dance music scene and jumps into looking at the Ableton Live session for his latest popular track, Terrakoz. While the track is very basic, he explains the need for club tracks to be simple and have a strong groove so they can translate well through a wide range of PA systems. He credits the success of most tracks to well structured Kick and Bass parts, and in this case demonstrates how he likes to layer sine bass sounds to create movement.

Native Instruments Maschine is one his favorite creative tools, and he sequences an improvised loop to show how he might start building a track. He also covers sidechaining and volume envelopes and plays with another favorite plug-in, Effectrix.
