Sonic Academy How To Make Classic House with Dirty Secretz

We welcome Sonic Academy regular 'Dirty Secretz' back to deliver a 'How To Make 'That Classic House' in Ableton' Reflecting on the number of tracks this year that has unashamedly brought back the bouncy house piano riff of days past.

That Classic Chicago house sound maybe permanently ingrained the bright, staccato sounds of blocky piano chords in our collective subconscious, but these retro-minded piano timbres have been steadily pushed to the sidelines in favour of big room EDM 'whomps' and'drops'. However, with producers such as Paul Woolford, Todd Terje, and french producer Moon Boots have all broken out the classic M1 piano, and have brought new life to the sound. Here Richie takes us from the first kick right through to the mixing a mastering stage, and shows us how to nail that sound.
