Pop production duo STARGATE are behind some of the biggest hits for Rihanna, Sam Smith, Katy Perry, Beyoncé, Chris Brown, and more. We visit Stargate’s Mikkel Eriksen in his Los Angeles studio to see how Sam Smith & Normani’s “Dancing With A Stranger” and Sam Smith’s “To Die For” came together using NI KOMPLETE products like ABSYNTH, MASSIVE, UNA CORDA, SESSION STRINGS, and more.
Mikkel also makes a track from scratch using his voice and GUITAR RIG effects, as well as giving us a look inside LAAMP, Stargate’s music production school in Santa Monica.
Check out all these instruments in KOMPLETE 13: https://www.native-instruments.com/products/komplete/bundles/komplete-13/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=Stargate
