Ad Brown Template Essentials Bundle

Produced in collaboration with Ad Brown, we’re proud to present the Ad Brown Template Essentials Bundle.

This bundle is a compilation of Ad Brown Template Essentials Volume 1, 2, and 3. The three Logic Pro 9 templates are centered around the signature Ad Brown style that we all know, yet differ slightly in terms of composition, sound design, and mixing, making the bundle a great educational tool.

The quality of this bundle comes as no surprise when you look at Ad Brown as a producer. He’s well known for his precision-built, evocative soundscapes that have quickly found the ears of many in today’s progressive scene. Progressive maestros like Sasha, Nick Warren, and Dave Seaman are ardent supporters, as are forward thinking trance legionnaires such as Ferry Corsten and Gareth Emery.

Each template is influenced and inspired by top progressive house artists such as Dinka, Shingo Nakamura, Mango, PROFF, and many others.

The templates included in this bundle are 100% royalty free and can be used as a base for your own original compositions or remixes. Explore the arrangement, find out how the drums, basslines, leads, plucks, and FX have been made and put together, and discover specific mixing and mastering techniques used by professional producers like Ad Brown himself.

What’s Included?

The bundle features volumes 1, 2, and 3 of the highly popular Ad Brown Template Essentials series.

Each template in the bundle includes MIDI data, synthesizer presets, samples, and mixing and mastering chains so that you can analyze and learn from the project file. All mixing and mastering is done with native Logic Pro 9 FX.

Volume 1

Volume 1 features a track that could only be produced by an expert such as Ad Brown. With great use of tension over the whole track, Ad’s first template makes use of delightful atmospheric plucks and pads to invoke a feeling of excitement and progression. The simple yet effective bassline offers groovy contrast to the soft, melodic underlay that can be heard throughout.

Features:

• Intricate arpeggiated sequences.
• Soft, dreamy melodic lines.
• Groovy, tight bassline.
• Simple, punchy percussion.
• Abstract, tension-building effects.

Volume 1 uses only one third-party VST/AU virtual instrument: U-He Zebra V2.5.7.

Volume 2

The template included in Volume 2 draws influence from Volume 1’s style and sound, but sets itself apart in terms of arrangement and composition. The signature Ad Brown bass can be heard early on in the track, with a more complex pattern than the first template. Top-line arps and plucks grace the mid and high-end while being accompanied with atmospheric vocal chops.

Features:

• Memorable melodic sequence.
• Driving percussion.
• Carefully programmed bassline.
• Multiple layers of synths.
• Simple FX usage and tight arrangement.

Volume 2 uses only one third-party VST/AU virtual instrument: LennarDigital Sylenth1 2.211.

Volume 3

Different from Volumes 1 and 2, the third template included in this bundle features a very minimal, percussion driven intro before bringing in a trance-inspired bassline. Multiple layers of arpeggiated sequences and rhythmic plucks enter the scene while blurred vocal FX fill in the background.

Features:

• Beautiful, pad driven breakdown.
• Complex bass programming and design.
• Strong chord-based melody.
• Euphoric accompanying vocal FX.
• Simple yet effective drum programming.

Volume 3 uses only one third-party VST/AU virtual instrument: LennarDigital Sylenth1 2.211.
