10 Lessons - 1 Hour 30 Minutes

Module 1 - Overview & Layering The Drum Pads

After a short intro from your tutor Jay, we'll go through the foundational knowledge of Groove Agent SE learning how it functions overall as a powerful and highly useable drum machine & sampler. You'll be learning the structure of Groove Agent, how to load and delete samples or multiple samples onto one pad, how to edit those samples, change parameters and a load of handy things that will help you find your feet in this awesome bit of kit.

Module 2 - Groove Agent Mixer

The mixer in Groove Agent SE is incredibly powerful and very capable of doing all the things you would want a mixer to do. By the end of this section you will be able to fully utilize the mixer and understand how all the functions work like the inserts, sends, master bus, FX & aux channels. You'll be learning in detail about routing so you can do all your mixing in Groove Agent SE or route each channel of GA out to Cubase and do your mixing there with all of the Cubase plug ins.

Module 3 - Pattern Mode & Beat Agent

There are a ton of built in patterns in Groove Agent SE 4 and you will learn to utilize them and the various functions that control them. There are standard patterns, breaks, intro beats and fills and all at the click of a button. By the end of this lesson you'll be able to easily drag patterns into Cubase, customize those patterns to fit your track better and then even add them back into Groove Agent and save them as custom patterns for use in your next big hit.

Module 4 - Acoustic Agent

Much like Beat Agent that is covered in the previous video, Acoustic Agent is similar but based entirely on live drum recordings. You have control over every detail, even the mic position and intensity of the live drum hits. You'll be learning how to craft drums that suit your track perfectly and that can change on the fly using the performance module which changes the complexity and intensity of the drum performance, and with automation. A must for anyone wanting realistic drums.

Module 5 - Live Remixing

Remixing a vocal or drum pattern or any number of things is super easy in Groove Agent SE 4. By the end of this lesson you'll be able to import audio, slice it up into useable chunks, and then map them to your MIDI keyboard so you can remix the phrases / drums / or any other audio into new and exciting patterns. Each slice you make is independently changeable and you can process each slice with all of the available power of Groove Agent SE 4's tools and effects.

Module 6 - Real World Examples

In this lesson you'll see Jay put everything you have just learned into practice and actually add a drum track to a pop song so you can see where it all fits in. Jay then makes a minimal house remix of the same song using nothing but Groove Agent and it's tools. It's super quick and only took Jay 30 minutes to do. That is the power of Groove Agent SE 4 and it comes free with all versions of Cubase. Don't wait, get stuck in and bring more creativity to your projects now.
