In this video, I attempt to recreate the bright and powerful sound of Charli XCX's "brat" using only Ableton's instruments stock presets
and samples from SampleFocus.com (but the same principles can be applied to FL Studio, Logic pro, Reason, etc...)
The big role of claps, combining different bass sounds to make a big one, and struggling with simple pop melodies are some of the
content you'll find on this video.
Without a doubt this album was crafted by brilliant producers like A.G. Cook, EASYFUN, Hudson Mohawke and El Guincho, among others, so
it's a very difficult task to attempt to recreate that magic. Let us know if you liked it and what else you'd like to see on the channel.
This video is aimed at beginners although hopefully everyone can take some inspiration from it, but feel free to share more knowledge in the comments!
