How to make Prince 'Little Red Corvette' bass, pad and lead in DRC

Published on 18 Sep 2018

Hi everyone,

This week sees the return of our DRC sound design tutorial series, with a brand new video, from a brand new location! Imaginando now has a bigger and better head office to call home; a large, creative space full of light, which will allow us to grow into a bright future.

Moving house is never easy, and moving a business can be even tougher, but after a few weeks and a lot of boxes (including our Digital Music Box of course!) we’re pleased to say that we are finally settled, ready to take on the next exciting stage of the Imaginando journey.

Our infamous red curtain returns to provide a rather fitting background for this week’s featured track ‘Little Red Corvette’ by none other than the late, great Prince. Another great viewer suggestion following the popular format of creating several sounds from the same song - a triple treat this time: Bass, Pad and Lead.

Let us know what you think in the comments, and feel free to suggest tracks you’d like to see in future episodes! As always, we’ve uploaded the Ableton project from the video, which you can get via the link below.

Still partying like it’s 1999,
