Vera Grace's Masterclass
A graduate of the Conservatorium of Amsterdam, Vera approaches DJing as a process of layering and transformation, while her productions are rooted in curiosity, experimentation, and a deep interest in synthesis. Her exploration of modular hardware has opened a new dimension in her work, leading her to develop and perform a fully live analog set.
For Home of Sound, Vera Grace presents Sound Design & Racks Workflow within Ableton, a course exploring both foundational and advanced sound design. Using Ableton’s stock instruments and the powerful free synth Vital, she shows how to craft unique sounds from scratch, with a focus on rich, evolving, and organic textures where movement takes center stage.
This 2-hour course dives into the art of hypnotic techno, covering racks, macros, sound design workflow, and how to build a track from the ground up. It also includes an exclusive breakdown of one of Vera Grace’s finished productions, making it valuable for producers at any stage of their journey.
