UKG with Yoad

We've covered making UKG (UK Garage) in numerous videos, most of them from BTheLick - but here's Yoad Nevo with an unexpected but very welcome production tutorial. Featuring his child's 'Bombastic Side Eye' vocal (a voice memo recorded on a phone during a school run) Yoad shows us how to build a hearty UKG track with drums, synths, and that all important Bassline - great stuff!

Bombastic Side Eye

Inspiration for a track can come from anywhere, even a voice memo recorded on a phone during a school run. In this video, I take a simple vocal riff from my daughter and transform it into a professional UK Garage track. You will see the exact step by step process of turning a raw, noisy phone recording into a polished production using creative mixing and sound design techniques.

You'll learn: 
How to clean up noisy phone recordings for professional use 
Techniques for time stretching and pitching vocals for specific genres 
Building a garage beat using Techno 1.1 factory presets
 Sound design secrets for creating heavy bass wobbles and synth layers 
How to use formant shifting and pitch drops for vocal ear candy
