[@adamellistutorials]

Congratulations on your first major label signing. Keep up the great work and never stop learning.

[@olevistnes1820]

[@richardronchetti6457]

Can recommend this guy enough. Great tutor. Extremely knowledgeable

[@adamellistutorials]

Thank you, Richard! I'm glad you find the tutorials helpful.

[@ToddMakofski]

Excellent video Adam! I LOVE the zoom in on the plug-ins as you adjust them. That is super helpful!

[@adamellistutorials]

Glad you liked it, Todd! I'll keep incorporating those close-ups for clarity.

[@nurjhanabader]

I love all these tips and especially how you’ve simplified the process. Thanks Adam ….off to my DAW I go !

[@adamellistutorials]

Happy to hear that, Nurjhan! Enjoy your time in the DAW.

[@fastedworld]

Just by following your videos along can immensely elevate you as a producer!

[@adamellistutorials]

That's fantastic to hear! Keep up the great work.

The percussion is such a fundamental part of dance music but its complexity and intricacy is often overlooked. Without a good groove, dance music wouldn't be dance music. This is an amazing tutorial that can extend into many other genres of music.

[@adamellistutorials]

Thank you! Percussion is indeed crucial, and I'm glad the tutorial was helpful.

[@stevencolston4788]

Great to see new ways and ideas of making percussion your own. Great work

[@adamellistutorials]

Thanks, Steven! Innovation is key in music production.

[@gabrielleagmusic]

As someone who produces progressive the Percussion part is always one of the most important part of my productions, it really sets the groove for the song, massive explanation, thanks for this Adam!

[@adamellistutorials]

You're welcome! Percussion can indeed make or break a track.

[@therookie3719]

My Percussion is massive now after this lesson nice a chunky awsoume vid

[@adamellistutorials]

Great to hear that, Rookie! Glad it helped.

[@VeenTyler]

your materials are really useful Adam, there is a lot to learn, I am just at after the stage of making drums by your guide, and this sounds epic, thanks, to your recordings I am growing stronger

[@adamellistutorials]

Fantastic progress, Veen! Keep pushing forward.

[@AlanJohnstonTrance-bi8je]

Top tutorial as always! Thank you once again. I highly recommend your course. Tonnes of goodies like this one :)

[@adamellistutorials]

Thank you, Alan! Glad you're enjoying the course.

[@djdylanforbes]

I purchased DPTE2 based on your tutorials and now I’ve just purchased Metta&Glyde’s trance tool kit 2 and XL samples 1 & 2. Also great sound packs. Cheers

[@adamellistutorials]

Awesome choices, Dylan! Those packs are solid. Enjoy creating!

[@NPGOperata]

Top video as always mate. Loopcloud has been a game changer for me and the noise gate to clean the loop up is another genius and really simple tip. 👌

[@adamellistutorials]

Loopcloud is indeed powerful. Glad you liked the noise gate tip!

[@adamwalkinshaw1482]

Another cracking tutorial Adam! well done lad

[@adamellistutorials]

Another great video Adam! 👍

[@adamellistutorials]

Thanks, Kev! Appreciate it.

[@kismet333music]

nice. i need to work on my percussion for sure!

[@adamellistutorials]

Practice makes perfect. You've got this!

[@danieldaly8668]

I know that this probably isn't the biggest takeaway people will get from the video 😂 But not having the samples listed in order is actually genius as you are 100% right that you will always scroll through the first 20 loops and never explore beyond that. Doing that from now on

[@adamellistutorials]

It's often the small changes that make a big difference. Happy it resonated with you!

[@user-uu5xf3ts9f]

Love these videos Adam, always struggled getting my percussion to sound good and this has helped me no end! Thank you mate 🙂

[@nickdodd3171]

Great video Adam

[@adamellistutorials]

Thanks, Matt!

Superb

[@adamellistutorials]

Thank you!

[@eugenewang4650]

Very important to have different sounding percussion loops like adam does here- its a pointless waste of precious headroom where you need to fill in the entire frequency band whilst ensuring the kick and sub is loud enough when you try in vain to stack 3 shaker loops where 1 is more than enough. Have 1 shaker loop, 1 hi hat loop, 1 lower synth-y groove and 1 mid range groove with a lot of toms and short synth stabs.

[@adamellistutorials]

Exactly, Eugene! Less is often more when it comes to percussion.

[@djcarlosdematos]

Hi Adam; have your percussion layers evolved over the years? I notice trance now is quite simplistic; percussion loop, clap, high hat and often that’s it

[@adamellistutorials]

I’d say it’s less complicated as it really doesn’t need to be anything but simple. For me, what I’ve done in this video is simple and extremely effective. You just don’t need anymore. 😊

[@djcarlosdematos]

On another note; I use to be so warry of the channel loudness. As long as it’s not peaking do you ignore the numbers and just use your ears like me?

[@adamellistutorials]

I get stressed when it goes near the top. So I use a limiter. lol

[@djcarlosdematos]

@@adamellistutorialsso you ignore the loudness and just ensure the sound is coming through the mix?
