Inside The Project HUGEL, Malachiii - Playboy Ableton Remake

1) Bass

Every parameter of this preset was adjusted with a clear purpose, allowing the sound to sit naturally in the mix while preserving its character. It’s a practical example of modern sound design that you can immediately put to use.

2) Guitar

Using only Ableton stock instruments, our production team recreated a realistic, expressive guitar that performs like a fully playable instrument. It’s a practical demonstration of how creative layering and MIDI programming can achieve professional results while expanding what’s possible with Ableton’s built-in tools.

3) Piano

This piano showcases how our producers recreated a convincing piano sound entirely inside Serum. With virtually all of its character built into the preset and only light EQ on the channel, it’s ready to use straight away while giving you a practical example of advanced Serum sound design.

4) Drums

This drum section captures the groove and timing of the original production. Swap in your favorite samples, keep the MIDI intact and instantly build a professional drum foundation without recreating the pattern from scratch.
