Creating Music on the Go with the Unit 4 Wireless Plus Monitors

As a music producer and YouTuber, I'm always looking for new ways to Create music and share my process with my audience. Recently, I've been exploring the world of house music, and I wanted to challenge myself to create a track while on the go. In this article, I'll be sharing my experience of setting up a mobile studio and using the Unit 4 Wireless Plus monitors to create a house track in Rome, Italy.

Setting up the Mobile Studio

Before leaving for Rome, I made sure to pack all the necessary equipment for my mobile studio. I brought my TMA2 headphones and Unit 4 speakers, which are lightweight and wireless, making them perfect for creating music on the go. With up to 20 hours of battery life, I didn't need to worry about finding a power source or dealing with messy cables.

Once I arrived in Rome, I set up my makeshift studio in my hotel room. I connected my laptop to the Unit 4 speakers, which were already paired and ready to go. I was impressed by the low latency of the monitors, which allowed me to hear my music in real-time without any delay.

Using the Unit 4 Wireless Plus Monitors

The Unit 4 Wireless Plus monitors are unique in that they are the first to the market with this kind of technology. They are perfect for music producers who need to create a studio on the go. The monitors are lightweight, wireless, and battery-powered, making them easy to transport and set up.

One of the things I love about the Unit 4 Wireless Plus monitors is that they have a clean aesthetic. There are no messy cables to deal with, which makes the setup process quick and easy. The monitors also have low latency, which means that I can hear my music in real-time without any delay.

Creating a House Track on the Go

To create my house track, I started by finding a loop with some nice chords in it. I decided to keep it simple and just change the pitch of the loop. I added a plug sound from Serum to give it more bounce and used a crystallizer to create an echo effect.

While in an airport shop, I heard a song called "Never Come Back" that I really liked. I found an acapella online and chopped up the vocals to fit into my track. I added drums and a bassline, using sidechain compression to create a tighter mix.

To make the track fuller, I layered different sounds, including open hats, hard hats, claps, and a shaker. I panned some of the sounds to the left and right to create a wider stereo image.

Layering Sounds for a Fuller Mix

With house tracks, I like to layer different sounds to create a fuller mix. For this track, I layered open hats, hard hats, claps, and a shaker. I panned some of the sounds to the left and right to create a wider stereo image.

Adding Drums and Bass to the Track

To give the track some bounce and rhythm, I added drums and a bassline. I used sidechain compression to create a tighter mix and make the kick punch through. I also added some variation to the drums to keep the track interesting.

Using Sidechain Compression for a Tighter Mix

Sidechain compression is a technique that I use to create a tighter mix. It allows me to make certain elements of the track, such as the bassline, duck out of the way when the kick hits. This creates a more dynamic and punchy mix.

Adding Uplifters and Downlifters for Smooth Transitions

To make the transitions between different sections of the track smoother, I added uplifters and downlifters. These are sounds that rise or fall in pitch and volume, creating a Sense of tension and release. I used these sounds to transition between the different sections of the track.

Collaborating and Finding Inspiration While Traveling

One of the reasons I love traveling as a music producer is that it allows me to collaborate with new people and find inspiration in new places. I also get to experience different genres of music and sounds that I might not have been exposed to otherwise.

DJing with the Unit 4 Wireless Plus Speakers

As a music producer, I've always had a deep love for house music. This year, I decided to learn how to DJ to add a performance aspect to my music. With the Unit 4 Wireless Plus speakers, I can also use them as part of my DJ setup. All I need is a cable to connect them to my laptop, and I'm good to go.

Conclusion

Creating music on the go with the Unit 4 Wireless Plus monitors was an amazing experience. The monitors are lightweight, wireless, and have low latency, making them perfect for creating a studio on the go. I was able to create a house track in Rome, Italy, and even test it out on my DJ decks. I hope this article inspires You to travel, collaborate, and find inspiration in new places.
