Producing UK Garage and 2-Step in Logic Pro

UK Garage and 2-Step in Logic Pro is your step-by-step path to capturing the bounce, swing, and soulful character that define UKG. Guided by producer Patrick Ames, you will learn how to design drums, bass, vocals, and arrangements that translate to club-ready tracks with confidence. From your first kick choice to your final export, the course focuses on movement and groove. You will practice building syncopated drum patterns, shaping deep and bouncy basslines, and working with chopped vocals that lift your hooks. Along the way, you will add musical detail with pads, stabs, and transitions so your arrangement feels alive from intro to final drop.

You will start by dialing in sound selection for the rhythm section. Learn how to choose the right kicks, snares, claps, and percussion for authentic swing, then chop and process breakbeats to add momentum. You will practice both 4-on-the-floor and 2-step rhythms and lock them together with tight, punchy programming that sits cleanly in the mix. Next comes tone design. Build synth stabs, chords, and pads from scratch in Logic, then synthesize bass that drives the pocket without crowding the lows. You will explore layering and processing options that keep basslines round and present, plus movement tools like filter modulation and subtle automation that add energy without clutter.

Discover how to select samples that complement your track, beat match and slice them creatively, then shape with EQ and filtering so the vocals shine. You will also practice arranging vocal chops across verses, drops, and bridges to deliver a clear narrative through the song. You will sketch satisfying drops, bridges, and breakdowns, add variations for a second drop, and manage tension with risers, fills, and one-shots. To finish strong, you will step through a practical mixdown: carving space with EQ, controlling dynamics, and preparing a clean export ready for release or DJ performance.
