Olav Basoski
“One of the most influential artists in the dance music industry, Olav Basoski has produced hundreds of records for his trend-setting Record Labels: Work Records, Rootz Records, and Samplitude Records.”
Biography
By Martin Sitter
As a house music producer myself, there's very few people I look up to as much as Olav Basoski. Let me tell you why ...
In 1998 I was living in the UK. One night I found myself at "The End" in London, and this MONSTER track came on the PA. It was the type of track that changes your entire view of how a genre should be ... a big, filtered bass line, smacking kick, and a vocal that peeled through my ears, sintering itself into my mind. That track was "Getting Around," by Olav Basoski.
I've followed Olav's music for years, collecting AFAIK all of his records (at the time). In fact, I've played more than a few sets that were 100% Olav traxx. So it was with some awe that I found myself looking at Olav's name on the macProVideo.com order list, that infamous day in 2006. I knew that if Olav was watching our tutorials, we were doing the right thing.
Olav Basoski is the "grand signeur" of Dutch house music. He is the founder of several legendary House labels, including Work Records, Samplitude Records & Rootz Records.
Besides his own imprints, Olav is an active and prolific remix artist with over 100 remixes to his credit. In fact, Olav's remix roster reads like a who's who of electronica: Moby, Armin van Buuren, Todd Terry, Phats and Small ... even James Brown & Bob Marley have had the special Olav treatment applied to their sound.
But the single most important thing to know about Olav is the blasting funk and the incredible energy he brings to a dance floor. If you like house music, you MUST see Olav play. But don't take my word for it ... listen to his music and check out his latest tour dates by visiting his website:

Shows just how creative you can be with samples to generate whole new sounds. You start to see that all sounds are "linked" - just depends how you process. Olav's style is a little curt, but direct.

Only a master can obviously make it appear so simple. The years of practice & experience packed in there are kept right under the veneer of the ease of use, but not out of reach. This is a classic, when the mix is excellent , the mastering is kept at a minimum. Olav keeps it basic, solid & professional. Respect for this great teacher_One of the best tutorial I've seen on the subject.

For starters, the fact that one of the elite names in electronic music is offering his wealth of knowledge to us "superstar" bedroom producers is worth the price of admission. Olav guided me through fine tuning my Logic skills and now that I've partially jumped ship to Ableton, I sought out his knowledge once again–and was not disappointed. Whether your aim is to create EDM or not, Olav cuts right to the chase. Each video is paced perfectly and Olav's approach is informative as well as ente...

I'm enjoying this very much. While I'm not into this style of EDM, it still sets a very strong foundation for all 4/4-based electronic music; and you can easily see how your genre's needs will be tweakable/adjustable via Live's controls and effects. Very easy to understand and follow along. The only clip I find curious is the side-chaining tutorial. There is an even better, faster way to do this in Live (at least from v.7+) But it's another example of how there's always more than one way...

Really liked it, listened to all of it and learned a lot. I also like Olav and like to listen to him. I will probably go through it again. But it could have used some editing. He paused to think of things, made mistakes and corrected them and sometime seemed to think up things on the fly. All of that is OK but it seems it wouldn't be much of a problem to edit it out.

Excellent! Starts with a very average and crowded mix, and with compression and eq things get better and come alive. Watch a pro tweak every sound to sit in the mix. There are very good "how not to do things" tips also. Common mistakes explained. By the end you'll see, and hear, the basics of mixing, I know the title says electronica, but most of techniques apply to just about any music. The teacher has a good voice and moves at a nice pace, keeping things interesting.

I must say I am a bit dissapointed with this tutorial. For me it was hard because he did things his own way, and I was not able to follow along.

I have been a Fan of Olav,s music since 1992 when i heard Windows by Sil, which remains one of my all time favourite house tracks. I never thought i would get to see Olav in action remixing tracks and giving tips and tricks to his workflow. A fantasic insight into house music remixing and the power of Ableton Live 8, by one of the greatest producers in dance music.

Great tutorial. I really like Olav's relaxed and humorous style. There were many useful tips for me as a remixer and I did benefit a lot by watching this tutorial. Toward the end the pace was a bit too fast but I guess Olav just wanted to finish the turorial already.

Olav builds a dance track from scratch, revealing ways to construct drum kits and sounds, processing, mixing and jamming the track into a final arrangement. All this is well paced with clear instructions blended with a sense of humour and ease. The tutorial is enjoyable, informative and you learn hints and tips at a pace that surprises you when you think about it! Well done Olav! I highly recommend this tutorial and it's great value!

One more big fan of Olav. I could be spending $1000 for 12 weeks of Ableton online at Berklee... or $25 for my half-priced download version of Olav's videos. I copy his process very closely and then I go back and do it my own way. This video is so clear... it's easy to follow the step by step process. And Olav's voice is enjoyable to listen to. thanks for a great site MPV.... money well spent.

This was simply excellent. Not only are you watching careful construction of basic sounds through the use of two of Ableton's best synths, but you are also witnessing a very subtle hint to efficient workflow. I'm not going to give it away here because you should watch! ...But be aware that Olav is helping you work with purpose as opposed to the usual "noodling" about with synths most of us have done at one time or another. His order of parameter tweaking is very important! Great work MPV! Olav i...

Great tutorial. I don't know what it is about the way Mr. Basoski teaches but it's very engaging. The information in this tutorial is all rock solid; I knew about a bit of it beforehand, but even in those case I got something out of it. The explanation of FM synthesis is the best simple explanation I've seen of the concept. My only complaint about his previous tutorial was that it got a little aimless towards the end... that is not a problem in this tutorial. It is all killer and no filler.

Really good tutorial. I don't use Ableton Live but it was easy to tranfer the same techniques to Logic. Olav is a great instructor and makes awesome sounds too. I would have liked a couple more examples of pad sounds, and it could have been a bit longer, but its great value for money and goes really well with the Richard Lainhart tuotrials too.

Hell yeah! It's so nice to have a no nonsense guided tour of a true pro's workflow in Electronica. It's pretty easy to like Olav's attitude and although it should be superficial... his voice and accent just make it more enjoyable to plow through some fairly meaty concepts in record time. I can't believe the difference between the track I just finished vs. the track I did just before getting Olav's point of view.

I really enjoyed the Making Electronic Dance Music with Olav Basoski, but i knew a lot about what he was doing in the videos. Although i did pick up some cool new tips and it was very good to get inside the mind of a top class producer, but i was wonder if there will be more very advanced videos coming out from Olav? I think a next level or more advanced level would be a great follow up to progress the track in to something that is dance floor credible. Keep up the great tutorials. :)

Overall, i liked this tutorial. It was cool to get "inside Olav's head" & see how he attacks a dance song. I was a little surprised to see how simple it was to achieve some of the effects I have been curious about. I think some of the gurus on the Logic User Group (LUG) would have some issue with the concept of "mixing to the master bus compressor," but it actually made sense to me. I can't wait to implement what I saw in my next project. Thanks!

I have no background in electronica, but I enjoyed "Mixing R&B" and learned some very useful approaches from that, so I bought this one. I've watched the video twice now and enjoyed it a lot. It's well-paced and Olaf has an excellent rapport as a trainer. In many ways, his message mirrors David Isaac's--use EQ, pan, level, and reverb to aurally separate the voices; hearing that same message in two contexts suggests that this is the foundation of mixing. That in itself is useful information. ...

This was one of the best tutorials (for Logic users wanting to create electronic house music) I have come across. Obviously being a wicked Tech/Electro house producer himself, Olav knows his stuff.

It's always great to see an experienced person approaching the subject of mixing. Makes it so much more hands on and understandable. That is certainly the case with this tutorial. Really useful.

The tutorial was done very well. His expertise and knowledge is great. The one thing I enjoyed was the last part of the tutorial which is were he talked very briefly on the layout of the track which was something that I wish he talked about in depth. Also I thought he was going to talk about how he makes his music from scratch, instead he had his track laid out in advance, which was disappointing to me. It would be great if you could get Sharam from Deep Dish or Axwell to show how they make ...

I own so many macProVideo.com tutorials it's hard to count but this is a real treat.

Hello, Here some feedback; Nice real life example of mixing a dance track. Very very helpful. There a small thing that (in my opinion) needs work. After Olav makes changes to the mix, he immediately starts talking again or finishes up the subject. It would be very help-full if, after adjusting and tweaking, there is a minute to listen what kind of impact it has on the mix. Several times Olav starts explaining to soon when you actually really like to listen to what happened. May be...

This is an outstanding product. I'm not into Electronica as a style per se but mixing is mixing. I learned a great deal about placement and imaging as well as EQing bass against the kick.

I thought that Logic 404: Mixing Electronica was very a good way to teach the use (or Deeper use) of logic. The benefit is twofold for beginners in that they gain insight on the use of logic, and a rare glimpse inside the process of an accomplished mixing engineer.

Wow! This is one I'm going to watch again and again. Olav presents this tutorial amazingly well. He guides you through the thought process of mixing with enough technical info and practical advice. I didn't think this type of tutorial would work this well in video format...it DOES! If you compose anything electronic this is the tutorial to watch to make your mix stand out! Thanks MPV

What an amazing tutorial! Olav explains it so well and tells it to you straight. Great Tips and Advice from a Real Professional Producer. You really get to see what is possible just using Logic's plug-ins. A must for anyone who is interested in making their House, Tech-house, Techno or Dance track sound punchy, sparkly and full. I also recommend all the other Logic Tutorials, especially the Tips and Tricks.

Yes, Yes, Yes... Put your mixing woes behind you as Olav takes you through a fast, up tempo session on mixing electronica in Logic 8. He makes it seem so easy, belieing the years of experience that have obviously gotten him to this level. Plenty to be learnt here. I really enjoyed it.

If you are into electronic music producing and wondered how you get that full club sound. This is the video to get! Olav takes you thru organizing your mix by grouping and using busses. Put effects on them. Use sidechaining to keep your bassdrum pumping etc. Now how about one on producing? :) Rick
