Bluffmunkey | Duration: 2h 21 m | Video: H264 1280x720 | Audio: AAC 48 kHz 2ch | 1,23 GB | Language: English
Kicking off our Synthwave Event in style, we welcome back Bluffmunkey for a new How To Make Synthwave course!
Over these eleven videos, he covers all the basics in fine detail to help create your very own track in this increasingly popular genre. From percussive elements, including the vital gated reverb snare and the classic synth sounds involved, to structure, vocal processing techniques, and effects and transitions used - this is a course you're not going to want to miss. Look no further if you're looking to get that eighties sound that'll conjure images if neon sunsets, wire graphics and shiny fast cars.
We've also made sure this course is accessible for all abilities using just three third-party plugins - ANA 2, Kick 2, and the free TAL Chorus, so anyone can grab a free trial of Ableton along with the demos of our plugins and open the project to follow along.

Jerome Isma-Ae | Duration: 1h 30 m | Video: H264 1280x800 | Audio: AAC 44,1 kHz 2ch | 1,75 GB | Language: English
Sonic Academy proudly welcomes back Jerome Isma-Ae this week for a brand new course, and this time he's showing us how to make his and Alastor's Progressive House track - 'Tiger'.
In just 1hr 30 mins Jerome re-creates this awesome track from scratch proving to us once again that keeping things simple won't take anything away from a great end result.
Building the drums followed by the melodic elements, it's then a case of arranging out using live automation to keep the track evolving before mixing down and mastering. An easy-to-follow course where a 'less-is-more' approach nails it!

Owsey | Duration: 4h 23 m | Video: H264 1280x720 | Audio: AAC 44,1 kHz 2ch | 3,64 GB | Language: English
Irish FL Studio producer Owsey is back with us this week with an all-new 'How To Make' course where he creates a Progressive Chill remix of his track 'I Seem To Find You In Everything'.
A more upbeat venture from Owsey that pumps with sidechain, he still manages to keep that signature ethereal ambience and epic orchestration that is unmistakably his.
Starting with a blank canvas Owsey begins the writing process with a sublime chord progression using strings and piano before adding an arpeggiated mid-bass, sub and drums. We then move on to synth lines and distinctive leads before adding effects and arranging out. Finally, we automate the different elements before adding in the vocals and carrying out any final tweaks.

Sonny Wharton | Duration: 2h 14 m | Video: H264 1280x720 | Audio: AAC 44,1 kHz 2ch | 1,09 GB | Language: English
Sonic Academy proudly welcomes a brand new tutor this week - UK based House and Techno DJ/Producer Sonny Wharton and over the next 2 hours, we get to watch as he recreates his track 'Piano Roll' in Logic Pro.
Starting with a simple piano loop Sonny builds an awesome accompanying groove, cleverly creates a 'bootleg' bassline and then arranges the track out creating tension with breaks, builds, effects and automation.
Ideal for beginners, Sonny's simple yet effective workflow ends up with a stomping house classic!

Christian Vance | Duration: 3h 08 m | Video: H264 1280x800 | Audio: AAC 44,1 kHz 2ch | 2,4 GB | Language: English
Christian's courses are renowned for their clever use of macros and Ableton's rack generators, and this one is no exception. Using a single MIDI line that feeds three different instruments along with an unconventional use of two separate kicks, this is not only a music creation course but also a lesson in utilising Ableton's capabilities to jam and have fun with your sounds!
There are no rules here and this one is very much about teaching you the tools to use yourself rather than just recreating the same track again. Once you take the time to map controls and set up effects the different possibilities for your sounds are practically endless.
