Producing Melodic Pop with Kito (Jorja Smith, Jeremih, Fletcher, Channel Tres) | Native Instruments

Музыка

Based in L.A. (by way of Australia and London), Kito has produced for Jorja Smith, Jeremih, Fletcher, Channel Tres, Tinashe, Empress Of, and the list goes on. Her unique style favors airy guitar and synth sounds, plus tons of vocal effects and ad libs. Kito started her production journey with drum ‘n’ bass and dubstep releases on Diplo’s Mad Decent and Skream’s Disfigured Dubz, before being sampled by Big Boi and Trinidad James and hitting the studio with everyone from Mabel to Hudson Mohawke.
In this video from our Sketches series, Kito makes a mellow pop track from scratch using products from our KOMPLETE NOW subscription bundle including BATTERY, CLOUD SUPPLY, BITE, RAUM, and MASSIVE X, plus our ELECTRIC SUNBURST guitar instrument and a KOMPLETE KONTROL S61 keyboard. You’ll learn about arranging pop, bussing and sidechaining, EQ and effects, and using MIDI to stack melodies.

    Thanks for saying the one thing I've been waiting to hear for years anyone to admit. Adding a note(s) that you couldn't physically do otherwise with a keyboard due to either lack of training or physical impossibly. I've always been of the opinion that if it cannot be done live then it should either not be done at all or properly represented as you have so courageously done. Those of us who've literally spent our lives (over 50 of them in my case) learning do appreciate the honesty. As long as one declares such it means a lot to those who have worked so hard. Thanks for the time and effort on the video.
