Can You Make a Full Beat with Just ONE Plugin?

In this beatmaking tutorial, I take on the 1 plugin challenge and show you how to make an ambient, textured beat from scratch using ONLY ONE VST plugin. If you struggle with finding the right sounds for atmospheric trap or R&B beats, this workflow will speed up your process.

I am using SourceLab along with the Rage Wave, Dreamscape, 2001, Hood Matrix, Chrome Sun, Prophecy expansion packs to build the melody, pads, and bassline.
