This masterclass with Joaquin Ruiz is a no-talking, hands-on session that lets you dive straight into his production techniques. Joaquin kicks things off by shaping the kick drum and sub-bass with the Kick 2 plugin, establishing a strong low-end foundation. He then selects and processes percussions and drums, creating solid grooves that enhance the track’s rhythm. Using Operator and Max for Live Sequencers, Joaquin crafts captivating synth lines and hypnotic atmospheres that form the backbone of his signature sound.

Throughout the session, Joaquin focuses on EQ, compression, filtering, and special processing to refine each element. He guides you through the arrangement and automation process, showing how to build dynamic tracks. To add extra texture, Joaquin incorporates FX using recorded vocal samples. Finally, he walks you through the mixdown process, ensuring every element fits perfectly before exporting the pre-master. This class is packed with practical techniques to help elevate your own music production.
