Inside The Project Chase & Status - Disgruntled ft. J Hus & IRAH  Ableton Remake

1) Bass

The bass part is built as a layered group, with the main line driven by Serum 2 presets FM Bass and Bass. In different sections of the arrangement, three additional bass layers made with Ableton Stock plugins and Samples add a lively, punk-inspired character with subtle acoustic bass string overtones. The bass sound changes throughout the arrangement, giving each section its own character while keeping the overall bass line cohesive and connected.

2) Instruments

All guitar parts are created using Ableton Samples, with multiple layers forming a dense guitar wall without relying on external instruments or third-party libraries. The Siren preset in Serum 2, built from a saw wave with pitch-envelope modulation, adds tension without taking attention away from the main instruments, while the Brass preset works closely with the guitar layers, adding accents and reinforcing the main melody.

3) Drums

The drums follow a straight Drum & Bass rhythm without excessive syncopation, giving the track a tight and energetic punk-inspired feel. Kick rolls and Drum Fills, combined with Crash and Reverse Crash Samples, create effective build-ups before the breakdowns while adding movement and breathing space to the overall drum arrangement.

4) Full Project

A great example of an unrestrained punk vibe in a Drum & Bass arrangement, with smart layering and different instruments bringing character to each section.

All TMA projects and templates are built with a clean, professional and consistent arrangement, allowing you to quickly understand the structure and explore every production element — MIDI, notes, chords, Serum presets, samples, sound design techniques, automation and mixing approaches.
