Description
Anyma - Eternity (Drop Remake) by Loucas Georgiou is an Ableton 11 project template that deconstructs the drop section of "Eternity" by Anyma and Chris Avantgarde. The template breaks down the original track's most technically demanding moment — transitions, percussion programming, sub bass design, Reese bass construction, piano layering, FX design, leads, and vocal treatment.
The download includes 15 backup .als project files capturing different stages of the production process. This progression-based structure lets producers trace exactly how each element was added, layered, or refined as the drop took shape.
Two custom presets are included to capture the track's signature sound design, alongside the high-quality audio samples used throughout. The combination of backup files, presets, and samples makes it one of the more comprehensive free remakes available for the Anyma sound.
This template requires Ableton Live 11 as a minimum — the filename confirms it was built for Ableton 11. Producers working in Ableton 10 or earlier will not be able to open it.

Tips
- Layering Drums for Impact: To achieve a fuller drum sound, try layering different drum samples. For instance, combine a punchy kick with a deeper sub-kick to create a more impactful low end. Experiment with layering claps and snares to add more texture to your drum patterns.
- Utilize Automation for Transitions: Use automation to create smooth transitions between different sections of the track. Automate parameters like filter cutoff, reverb, and delay to build tension and release. This technique can make your drops more impactful and dynamic.
- Enhance Basslines with Modulation: The Reese bass in the template can be enhanced by adding modulation effects. Experiment with subtle pitch modulation or filter modulation to add movement and complexity to your basslines. This can make your low-end more interesting and engaging.
- Creative Use of FX: The template includes various FX elements that can be used creatively to enhance your track. Try reversing some of the FX samples or layering them with other sounds to create unique transitions and fills. This can add a professional touch to your production.
- Refine the Mix with EQ and Compression: Pay attention to the EQ and compression settings used in the template. Use these as a reference to refine your own mix. Ensure that each element has its own space in the frequency spectrum and that the overall mix is balanced. This will help your track sound polished and professional.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which version of Ableton Live is required?
The template was built in Ableton Live 11 — the filename confirms 'Ableton 11 Template'. You need Ableton Live 11 or above to open the project. It will not open correctly in Ableton 10 or earlier.
What plugins are needed beyond Ableton's built-in devices?
The specific third-party plugins used depend on the creator's setup. The two included custom presets suggest some sound design was done with specific synthesizers. Check the project's plugin list when first opening it in Ableton — missing plugins will appear as yellow warning devices.
What is a Reese bass, and is that covered in the template?
A Reese bass is a classic detuned synth bass sound made by layering two slightly detuned sawtooth or square waves, common in techno and drum and bass. Yes, Reese bass construction is one of the specific elements this template breaks down.
Does this cover the full track or just the drop?
This is a drop remake — it focuses on recreating and teaching the drop section of Eternity rather than the full arrangement. The 15 backup files let you explore different stages of how that section was built.
