How to arrange and mix melodic house | Live Electronic Music Tutorial 076

This template is the result of two EDM Sessions, EP036 and EP 076

Check out the videos to learn how the song was composed, engineered mixed and arranged.
I also refined and created the song further after episode 76. While i used only The Sylenth1 Synth i made good use of Logic Pro X audio processors to do the Mix-down and engineering. The project features a lot of automations on synths to create movement and build tension. It is completely produced song made 100% in MIDI so all of the elements are customisable.

In episode 76 we are mixing and arranging a deep progressive house song in the style of Anjunadeep. We begin this session by using the song we created in episode 36. Our goal is to start from this to create a full song that will be releasable on a label. We begin by making the project 6:30 second long using the parts we already have, we then process to create a swanky into to this moody deep progressive tracks. We begin very slowly introducing the elements slowly and building tension and anticipation. The song is driven forward by mellow pads and bells creating a smooth atmosphere. We then introduce the main danceable element in the first breakdown, the brassy bass delivers quite the punch and we got a serious groove on. We of course build more arrangements and add some bass layer to make the groove more circular. We also introduce sidechaining to some key elements to keep the pumping action we need in dance music today. We then move on to the main breakdown and complete the song with a outro for the DJs. May the sounds be with you.
