Producer Notes episode 055 features NOHR and Oskar Med K style Melodic House LFO Pluck Serum vibes.
In this YouTube Series with Francois we explore the style of NOHR, the Danish music producer going viral on Instagram, using only Ableton stock plugins and SERUM! This music production tutorial covers how to recreate his catchy LFO Pluck sound in Ableton Live and provides some Ableton tips for making your own Melodic House tracks. Learn how to use stock plugins in Ableton 11 or higher and Serum to create unique sounds.
Watch and see what we can learn from this signature style merging dreamy soundscapes, groovy moogy keys and groovy drums.
The key lessons from this episode are:
-
Drums: Use a Deep short Kick + Deep Clap + short Closed hihat on 3 + late Shaker, occasional Tom - Bass: Sub Bass with some dirt on top + Mid Bass Layer for crunchy moog feel
- Keys/Hook – Several Layers, most important: LFO Pluck Sound for main hook focus
- Keys/Hook – Ear candy layers with high notes
- Atmos, Pads: mainly for background support and thickness
- Style overall: Clear sounds, simple drums. 7. Specific here: the “late” drop with the “late” chords switch and late kicks makes it interesting
