Progressive House Environment by 36db

Overview & Inspiration

Every element you need for professional Progressive House production, delivered in one comprehensive system.

This advanced Live 11 Progressive House Environment is a one-stop solution for creating every aspect of a Progressive House track imaginable. Building on 36db’s first-generation Environments, this evolved system comes loaded with 150 custom presets, all mapped to Live 11’s new 16 macros for every Instrument and Effects Rack. More sounds at your control. Faster results.

Perfect for beginners finding their sound and advanced producers refining their craft, this Environment includes a complete template arrangement that you can deconstruct and reform in infinite ways. The unlimited versatility within the Environment enables you to save presets to your existing library or add your own drum samples to the bespoke Drum Racks—taking full advantage of the professional processing chains.

The modular design of all 36db products lets you drag, drop, mix, and match seamlessly between any session you’re working on, making this the ultimate production and remix tool. Push 3 ready for studio work, hybrid DJ gigs, or complete live shows.

If you’re inspired by the hypnotic journeys of Joris Voorn, the melodic depth of Guy Mantzur, the dark intensity of Maceo Plex, the euphoric builds of ARTBAT, the emotional storytelling of Franky Wah, or the sophisticated textures of Âme, Bedrock, and Gregor Tresher, this Environment delivers the tools to match that vision.
