Keeping an arrangement moving and progressing is one of the key factors in delivering a high-quality track.

However, finalizing the transitions in your arrangement can be awkward, time-consuming and fiddly. Especially when you are trying to maintain the energy flow from one section to another.

One trick I see a lot of producers using is heavily automating their main lead sounds and adding sample pack FX noises that stick out like a sore thumb in their mix. So often they overlook one key element, their drums.

In this tutorial, I show you some simple and fast techniques that you can apply to the drums you already have in your track, to create smooth builds and impacts in your music.

In this tutorial we cover:

How working with existing sounds in your track is best approach for a smooth but impactful transition
How duplicating your drum sounds and applying very simple effects like reverb and delay is all you need to sound professional
Demonstrate how Ableton’s vocoder effect can generate awesome results for your transitions
By automating effect parameters you can really drive the energy in and out of the sections in your arrangement
