Protoculture | Duration: 1h 46 m | Video: H264 1280x720 | Audio: AAC 44,1 kHz 2ch | 838 MB | Language: English
Protoculture's back with us for this week's course and this time he's taking an in-depth look into the world of effects.
All of us use them in our tracks, but in this fascinating course Nate takes a closer look and breaks down what our go-to plugins are actually doing to the sounds, giving us the knowledge to use the right effect for the job.
Thanks to his extensive plugin arsenal Nate demonstrates how different effect plugins - whether it be delays, distortions, pitch shifting or spatial effects - can create very different end results in getting that all important variety and interest into your tracks.

As part of "Super September," we bring you another Trance legend to add to our expanding mix of pro tutors as Bryan Kearney takes us on a walkthrough of his epic crowd-pleaser All Over Again ft. Plumb Dark Dub Mix.
Over these nine videos, Bryan shows us that keeping it simple can still get massive results and that it's all about having a good ear for the right sounds rather than being a grandmaster in sound design. Going through each element from the kick, bass, percussion, synths, vocals and FX, Bryan uses straightforward audio editing and transition techniques automating filters and effects to keep the track tense and moving along.
A rare insight into how a world-leading producer gets his sound.
