KSHMR takes us through the initial conception of his song “Heartbeat” along with step-by-step walkthroughs of the sections of the track. He discusses what his motivations were to take the song in a different direction from the first demo and how he utilized certain sound design and music theory techniques to give the song a darker overall feel. He further breaks down sections individually showcasing key production elements in each. Producers looking to understand their application of music theory and arrangement can find great value in this tutorial.

So simple, so cool)
please add a vocal tutorial for heartbeat
Did you change the midi notes in purpose? I hear a different chord than what I see
we like to see a complete tuto about this song like Deconstruction of 1 or 2 hours.
Thank you!
Does anyone catch the difference between the notes in the pad and the piano that play simultaneously? Looking at the midi they seemed to differ a bit.
