Making A Dutch House Beat
Tuesday, 22 February 2011
In this tutorial, I go through how to make a typical Dutch House Loop. This genre is renowned for its sub rich bass drums and off-beat snares. I feature here the Vengeance Essential Club Sounds Vol. 1 in particular in this example and the exact samples I used can be found below.
Sub Kick - VEC1 BD Sub 39.wav
Snare - VEC1 Snare 087.wav
Tamb 1 - VEC1 Tamb 18.wav
Tamb 2 - VEC1 Tamb 19.wav
Noise - VEC1 FX 042.wav
The tutorial also includes sidechain compression and reverb incorporation in the loop to allow all of the elements to sit in the mix nicely. Mixing is also covered and this is one of the most important parts of the process in order that the beat fits together well.
