Amazing course! Literally opened loads of doors and idea for me. have to admit that the live-jam-arrangement is not really my thing but the rest was pure gold! I have come up with 3 new tunes off the back of these ideas in just under a week. All hail Mr Vance!

Thx for sharing ur knowledge in music production!
I often get stuck on transitioning my tracks but, now that I’ve come across these great tutorials, I’m now finding out how to do it with ease! :wink:
Keep up the good work! :laughing:

I’m loving the course so far . However, is it just me? I can’t seem to find the Drumkit used in the course’s project ‘808 Magnetikz’. I had to go through the whole ‘Missing files’ process and it seems like I got something equivalent but I was wodering if there was something wrong with my copy of the software. I’m using Ableton live Suite 9.7.1. Did I forget to install a Pak?

Hi @Toltech - Check in “Drums” and try to locate Kit-808 Magnetikz.adg - The project is created with standard but would work the same in suite. Hope this helps!

Turns out I did have to install a free pack called ‘Drum Machines’ by Ableton:

Either it wasn’t included in my installation of Suite or simply everyone I asked had installed it. Every Ableton user I know has a ton of packs installed and don’t really keep track of them.

Wtv the case may be, it all works out now that it’s installed!
WIN!

Great tutorial!
While the tutorial I have also rebuild this track in Bitwig and learned a lot.
Your kind of making music, simple and effective is great!
I love this kind of music!
Thanks

Hey Sonic - You need to get Christian on board as a full time host, both his sessions for this and the Dark Techno video are second to none with clear and concise instruction - especially the workflow tips for the project set up. I found his send and returns advice essential in lending further creativity. 10/10

I really liked this tutorial. I like the “set it up and jam” workflow. It lets me use my my gear to noodle around in an organic way akin to playing an instrument instead of point and click.
Point and click production has its place but sometime I just want JAM!
