FaderPro wAFF Track from Scratch TUTORiAL

Join tech house DJ and producer wAFF as he recreates the title track from his 2022 EP Mesmerized.

Enter the studio with tech house DJ and producer wAFF, and relive the production journey that he went through to make the title track from his 2022 EP Mesmerized. Using Ableton Live, wAFF recreates each section of his energy-filled track one by one, explaining the thought process behind every mixing decision and sharing invaluable insights as he goes.

wAFF is an artist with a truly international profile, built from the ground up since his debut EP Rainbows was released on Jamie Jones’ Hot Creations label in 2012. He’s the only British producer who’s recorded for all three European techno hubs, Sven Väth’s Cocoon, Adam Beyer’s Drumcode and Loco Dice’s Desolat, and has played in electronic music havens like fabric London, Lost Beach in Ecuador and Amnesia in Ibiza. Sets at festivals like Glastonbury and Tomorrowland don’t come easily either, so rest assured you’re in good hands for this masterclass!

Running for over two hours, this course is packed with production knowledge for you to bring into your own projects. Watch wAFF program bouncy drums and bass loops, chop up club-ready vocals, and employ a variety of arrangement techniques to manage the rise and fall of the track’s energy. You’ll get a close up look at how a professional producer uses tools like the Roland TB 303 to create sticky acid synth bass melodies, as well as hearing his approach to common issues like where to source unique vocal samples.

You don’t get to where wAFF is in his career without picking up a wealth of knowledge along the way, and in this course you’ll see him apply the full range of his skills to a mix. Whether it’s using sidechain compression to carve out space for a kick drum, or EQing the master to make sure the track performs well wherever it’s played, you’re sure to pick up some tricks of the trade that will level up your own productions.

All in all, there are 16 chapters in this course that cover the full journey of the track, from drum programming to mixing and mastering. So, if you’re looking to learn from a dance music specialist and see behind the curtain of how your favourite tracks are made, this is the course for you!
