How To Make - French House with Soundprank / 510

Interesting techniques, thanks a lot.

Exactly what I’m searching for

I really wanted to go through this, replacing the 3rd party plugins with Ableton devices (As I have done for many courses on here). This course in particular, however, is really hard to follow along with if you don’t have the plugins.

The instructor rarely plays the sounds. He will walk through, in detail, the settings of each plugin - which is great. But he will quickly move between plugins without giving hardly any examples of the sound (sometimes he will hit a few notes - but not always). If I had the plugins I could just input the same values, but without them I need audio to reference to at least attempt to get a similar sound with the plugins I have.

Why not provide stems of each track for reference? (As other courses have done) Then at least I could pop the stems in my set and try to match the sound after I watch the video.

It would be so much more helpful if stems were provided, or if the instructor just spent more time playing each track in between each plugin walk-through. Just playing 1 bar of the track in between each plugin would be a HUGE improvement.

Also, I don’t think this course should be called a “How to Make” course, as its not a walk-through of making the track, its just an in depth explanation of the sound design and mixing that went into this french house track. More of a “How to sound like” course. I would also classify this more as a beginner-intermediate course, as the instructor spends a lot of time going over very basic topics like what side chaining is.

There is lots of good info in this one, and the instructor is extremely knowledgeable. But this is audio! Hearing the words and seeing the plugins provides some info, but hearing the sounds is key! I am going to watch the videos, but I really wish I could I hear the individual tracks in more detail so I could follow along (You know, like the other courses on here that use 3rd party plugins).

Be great to see soundprank do a tutorial in his usual anjunabeats style ( start to finish ) maybe not so scientific as well. lol great tutorial though

This is hands-down one of the best tuts on sonic academy.

Really excited to start this course!!

Excited to jump into this one! Will leave feedback once completed!

I like this course - I wonder what it would have sounded like bouncing out the stems and mixing in Harrison mixbus… since the course came out new mixer in ableton 10 probably would do this greater justice… just a guess

This is exactly what i want!

filter house is good.

Have you checked this one already ?

Trying to follow alng on your bass 01 tutorial but I can’t locate the OSC 2 patch. Because it’s hard to read it looks like it says “(something) pro-soloist 7” but an internet search comes up blank and I don’t see it in the presets. Any guidance?

Hey there @thedjphenomenon

Are you using Ableton ? If yes you can download the tutorial resources from the main tutorial page and you’ll find a Live Project in there.

The source used on OSC B for this DaftBass patch in Serum is named after ARP Pro-Soloist 7 which I don’t think is a default preset in Serum, the Arp Pro-Soloist was a vintage monophonic synth for the story, so that might come from a specific preset pack.

Anyway, since I’m guessing you’re not using Live and therefore being able to open the resource’s Project, I did it and saved the preset, I will PM it to you now, check your MSG here on the forums.

Exactly what I was looking for! Great material and indepth comments by Soundprank!

Great video and tech tips!

This is an awesome video, it cleared a lot of things up for me and gave me a lot of clarity. Thanks man!

Who spends over an hour talking about a CLAP? zzzz Dirty Secretz was much more interesting and easier to understand. Some good tips here but overall too nerdy

This course seems grand, downloaded it straight away! Thanks to the other users that left course recommendation(s) in the comments, as they have come in very useful!

Can’t even follow this project everything is broken.

wish I could get my money back… This is actually awful.
