Beat 8/21: Make your songs go viral + 23 synths & effects with Pro Tools | First

Most of the acts on Spotify and TikTok are already known, but many newcomers are also starting out here. The recipes for success for a hit are the same as ever: a catchy melody, distinctive vocals, a gripping groove and musical hooklines. But what can be learned from the big hits - whether for underground or high-gloss pop? And how can you recreate the sound of the hit guarantors? In our huge feature we reveal the songwriting, groove and sound secrets of the hits and reveal how you can reach a larger audience on streaming portals.

Free: Overloud TH-U Beat Edition + Dark Modular for Zamplers & MPCs

Our highlight this month is Avid‘s Pro Tools | First, a DAW that‘s as powerful as it is beginner-friendly, with 23 compressors & EQs, 16 tracks, and excellent sampling and time-stretching tools. Inspiration is provided by AIR Music‘s Xpand!2 workstation and UVI‘s PlugSound library. Things get really loud with the amp modeling giant Overloud TH-U Beat. It gives not only guitar and bass sounds, but also synth sounds more bite, punch and character.
Massive basses, brutal leads, hypnotic sequences and lush pads await you in Dark Modular, our newest soundset for Zampler//RX & AKAI‘s MPC series. This brings you the distinctive sound of Erica Synths‘ Black System III into your DAW. The 6 GB sample collection is also multifaceted: Fresh loops and sounds for House, Garage, Dubstep, Trap and more are offered here, not to mention acoustic drums and percussion sounds and acapellas.
