Hi guys, how’s it going? In this one we’ll be taking a look at 10 Deep House Production Tips. I recommend you follow this post from start to end, as there is a connection between the sections. There is also a video at the end of the
post, applying 5 of these tips in one single track.

This is a brief summary of what we’re gonna cover:

1. Better Chords – using chord voicing on minor 9th chords for that Deep House style sound.
2. Better Basslines – creating transitions between the root notes of the main progression.
3. Creating Simple Arpeggios – from the existent chord sequence with the Arpegiattor effect.
4. Smoother Chord Transitions – by using chord inversion and chord voicing.
5. Changing Bass Patterns – alternating between 2 bass patterns playing under the same melody.
6. Organ Textures – adding a harmonic element to your bass sound.
7. Better Drums – a simple improvement of the basic pattern.
8. Wobbly Chords – using Filter’s LFO to get that wobble effect on chords.
9. From 4 to 8 Bars – simple extensions using a pad track.
10. Sampling Chords – an easy way to find nice chord progressions.
We’ll be using Live 9, but you can follow this easily with other DAWs. Just pay attention to the grid settings in the bottom right corner of every image. Okay then, let’s start!

 TIP 1 – Better Chords

This one covers the use of Chord Voicing on Minor 9th chords to get a nice Deep House style organ sound. This is demonstrated in STEP 3. The sound comes from the Organ2 Clicky Sine Operator Preset in Live 9. We’ll also
cover the bass-line in the next section.

As in Episode 01 from our Deep House Explored Course (http://promusicproducers.com/product/deep-house-explored/):

STEP 1 – We start off with the basic minor triad structure: C minor in the first bar, D minor in the second bar and G minor in the last two bars. There is also some side-chain compression on this organ sound:

It sounds like this:

STEP 2 - Let’s extend the triad structures to Minor 9th chords. To get to a Minor 9th chord, add two more notes, 10 and 14 semitones above the root. If you want to use the Chord Midi Effect in Live, you can get the Minor 9th
chord by using +3, +7, +10 and +14 as your input settings. For more on Minor 7th and Minor 9th chords, take a look at our 6 Deep House Chord Progression Tips (http://promusicproducers.com/6-deep-house-chord-progression-
tips-for-beginners/) post.

STEP 3 – Now let’s use Chord Voicing (the process of arranging the notes of a chord in different orders) to enhance this harmony. In this example, I’ve moved the second note from each chord in the upper octave, so it is now the
last note in the order. To get this chord with the Chord Midi Effect, use +7, +10, +14 and +15. You can experiment with other arrangements, such as moving both the second and third note from your chord structures in the upper
octaves:

(http://promusicproducers.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/131.png)

Notice the impact of moving the D#, F and A# in the upper octave:

STEP 4 – Now let’s extend this to an eight bars progression. In the sixth bar, move the D minor to F minor. I’ve also moved the G minor chords 1/8 to the left, so they’re triggered off-beat now:

TIP 2 – Better Bass-lines

With the bass-line following the root notes from the chord progression created in the previous section, we’ll now be adding some little touches every two bars. These will be groups of 1/8 or 1/16 notes that create a nice transition
between the notes of the main progression. This is demonstrated in STEP 3.

STEP 1 – This is going to be our six-notes bass-line pattern:

STEP 2 – Let’s add the first 4 bars from our progression. Notice the contrary motion between the bass-line and the organ (the organ is climbing to G minor, while the bassline goes down to G):

STEP 3 – Okay, now let’s create some nice transitions between these bars. Notice how we’ve used 1/16 notes in the second bar and 1/8 notes in the last bar. This adds a little bit of variation to our bass-line pattern:

 TIP 3 – Simple Arpeggios

This one covers the use of the Arpeggiator effect in Live, a quick and simple way to make a nice arpeggio from the chord progression you’ve already made. The Arpeggiator settings are displayed in STEP 2.

STEP 1 – Add the “Long Marimba” Mallet Preset from Live 9, or any other plucky instrument, and insert the same chord progression created for the organ track:
(http://promusicproducers.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/312.png)

It sounds like this:

STEP 2 – Let’s add the following Arpeggiator Effect:

Here’s another example. Same Mallet Instrument, same Arpeggiator effect, but a different chord progression with different chord structures. The point here is that you can experiment with triads, 7th or 9th chords to create some
variations between bars. We’ll take a look at these chords in the next section:

(http://promusicproducers.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/332.png)

So this is how it sounds like: (the arpeggiator is turned on at 00:16)

TIP 4 – Chord Transitions

This one covers the use of Chord Inversion and Chord Voicing to create smoother transition between the main chords of your progression. Chord Inversion is demonstrated in STEP 4A. Chord Voicing is demonstrated in STEP 1B,
using a different chord progression example.

As in Episode 06 from our Deep House Explored Course (http://promusicproducers.com/product/deep-house-explored/):

STEP 1A – Okay, let’s start from the following chord structures. We’ve got D major in the first bar, C# minor in the second bar and F# minor in the last two bars:

(http://promusicproducers.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/311.png)

It sounds like this:

STEP 2A – In the first bar, extend the D major triad to D major 7th by adding C#. I’ve also double the F# in the upper octave. In the last two bars, the F# minor triad was extended to F# minor 9th:

(http://promusicproducers.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/321.png)

With this chord progression, the second bar (C# minor) seems to be too low for a smooth transition:

PMP DEMO
Deep House Production Tip 4 ­ Chord Transitions ­ STEP 2A Share

Cookie policy
 2.4K

STEP 3A – To fix this, we could try to play the entire chord in the next octave:
(http://promusicproducers.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/331.png)

But now the chord seems to be too high for a smooth transition:

PMP DEMO
Deep House Production Tip 4 ­ Chord Transitions ­ STEP 3A Share

Cookie policy
 2.1K

STEP 4A – In this example, playing the C# minor chord in its original structure does not fit with the rest of the clip. So, to create a smoother transition between these bars we can change the bass note of the chord. This is known
as chord inversion. Here we’re using the first inversion, with E becoming the lowest note from the chord.

STEP 1B – Here’s another example. D minor 9th in the first two bars, C minor 9th in the third bar and G minor in the last bar. The problem here is with the last bar. The G minor is too low to fit with the other chords, as it does not
contain any notes in the fourth octave:

STEP 2B – So let’s use Chord Voicing to fix this. Take the second and third note from the G minor chord and move them in the next octave:

TIP 5 – Changing Bass Patterns

This is an arrangement technique and it covers the use of two different bass patterns, playing a different sequence of notes, but under the same melody. STEP 1 – STEP 3 are looking at the first bass pattern. The second bass-line
pattern is covered in STEP 4 – STEP 6.

 TIP 6 – Organ Textures

In the previous section, you can hear an organ sound accompanying the bass-line. This section covers a quick and simple technique to add a nice harmonic texture to your bass-line. The organ will play the same pattern of the
same notes that are also duplicated 7 semitones above. You can experiment with different instruments. Just copy and paste the midi clip from the bass-line track and a +7 chord effect.

STEP 1 – So we’re just gonna copy and paste the midi clip from the first bass-line pattern (created in the previous section) and we’ll make a duplicate of the same arrangement 7 semitones above:

 TIP 10 – Sampling Chords

This section covers one of the easiest ways to create a nice chord progression. We take a few instruments playing the same chord structure and we resample them into one audio loop. We insert the audio loop into Simpler and
we try to find a nice chord progression by playing a single note on the keyboard. This is demonstrated in the first part of the next video.
 The End

So there you go. We’ve seen how to get your chords wobbly, how to create better bass-lines, how to improve the basic drums pattern and how to come up with better chord progression using chord voicing, chord inversion, or by
simply sampling the chords. We’ve also covered a simple way to create an arpeggio from these chord progressions.
So leave a comment below and let me know which one of these you found the most interesting? Also, there’s plenty of new posts scheduled over the next few months so it would help if you could let me know of any specific
requests you might have.

Really great stuff – My fav tup is the voicing on chords.

I’d really like to see arrangment tips covering intro outro chorus verse etc for Long Song and Radio Edits.

When you guys are using inversions to create smoother chord progressions, do you typically double the root in the lower octave? Or do you double the bass note of the inversion in the lower octave?

Hi Michael, sorry for the late reply.

That really depends on your instruments or the sound you’re trying to get. You can use bass notes which are not the root notes for some chords. I can’t really think of a typical scenario when you would choose one from the other.
It really depends on the sound.

Best tutorial I’ve seen. REALLY appreciate the education and amount of work you put into this.

Can you explain resampling? You discuss it in your video of chord sampling, but I do not understand it’s importance or need.

Thank you again!

Hi Marshall, thank you for the kind words.

Chord resampling is one of the easiest ways to create chord progressions. It works like the chord effect in Live. You can play an entire chord with just one key.

Check our tut on Deep House Chord Progression, where we go through chord resampling (last section):

Can you do a tut on these call and response basslines that are being used alot at the mo – example below:

https://soundcloud.com/frankyrizardo/come-into-my-life-original-mixft-tess-leah (https://soundcloud.com/frankyrizardo/come-into-my-life-original-mixft-tess-leah)

The first part is an FM bass, but what about the second? and does it play the root notes of the key of the track? It also sounds swung

Thanks

Hi,
I noticed in this demonstration that your Simpler looks different to mine. The Simpler I have has been updated for 9.7. So the question is; how do you create wobbly chords with the updated 9.7 Simpler. As the layout is very
different.
Thanks

Hi!
Well.. it’s the same process: put a low-pass filter, and then turn the lfo to on and set up the rate.
Everything is still there. You’ve got your “FILTER” settings in the bottom-left corner. Next to it, is the “LFO”.

hmmm, I must be doing it wrong then because currently I can’t recreate the wobble sound at all. This is my method; resample the chords and record into a new audio loop slot, drag the audio loop into the simpler on a new MIDI
track, then I turn the LFO and filter on, adjust the knobs, and no luck

November 26, 2016 at 4:43 pm (http://promusicproducers.com/10-deep-house-production-tips-for-beginners/#comment-21476)

Yes, but did you decrease the cutoff frequency on the low-pass filter?
