In this article I'm going to share some pointers to help you make 'Complextro'.

Complextro, or in other words "complex electro", is the latest sub-genre to branch off Electro House.

Producers such as Lazy Rich, Porter Robinson, Zedd, Dirtyloud, Darth & Vader, Spencer and Hill, Alex Mind are that top of this genre.

What makes complextro unique is the incredible melodies and riffs that are created using many samples, stabs, one shots and FX all chopped up and arranged in a puzzle-like process.

Here is a list of various sounds that you need to create the infamous complextro melody:

- Foundation bass notes
- Sounds that pitch up
- Sounds that pitch down
- Filter opening slowly
- Filter closing slowly
- Wide sounds
- Wobbles > LFO's modulating the filter cutoff
- Pitch Wobbles > LFO's modulating the pitch of the oscillator
- Stabs
- Trance like synths and supersaws
- Vowel Sounds
- Quick 3-4 note melodies

Over time I will add to this list as well as explain a little more on how to achieve each of these sounds.

As I now have access to a fantastic professional studio with a full acoustically treated room, as well as some high end equipment, I now offer my services to mix and master other peoples work.

Mastering is both the last stage of production. It is the last chance to alter the sonic presentation and is where the various parts of a song are brought together into a cohesive whole.

The mastering room provides a different (hopefully accurate) monitoring situation and a set of fresh ears to help the artist and producer achieve their vision for the final record.

My most commonly used tools I reach for when I am about to master a finished song is a compressor, eq, and a limiter. Depending on how the artist has done the mixdown, I will sometimes use a stereo enhancement tool or a harmonic exciter.

How to prepare your song for mastering:

- The most important stage of the preparation process is the mixdown. Before you send your completed song, you must feel 100% satisfied that you have your song mixed     to the best of your abilities i.e. - good control over song dynamics, frequencies are in their own space and the volume levels are well balanced.
 
  IMPORTANT: Mastering will not fix a bad mixdown.

- You must have NO plugins on the master channel. Do not compress or limit your final mix. You will be tempted to do this to make things louder, but it will make the mastering process much more difficult.

- The master output level must be peaking between -6db to -3db. It must not be going into the red i.e. - "clipping"
