How To Make - Tech Trance in Studio One 4 / 646

Thanks for this really great course… Have learned a lot…

Nice!

Finally a course with Presonus Studio One :slight_smile:

Beautiful Course!!

good course

Not seeing Psy Bass 1 & 2 in ANA2. Is this from a preset pack?

Hi there @joel1978

Might help to point to a video number & time when referring to tutorials, just to make sure what exactly we are talking about :wink:

In this case, it might very well come from the Trance presets pack from Bjorn Akesson & Protoculture, which is Presets Pack N°5 for ANA 2 ANA 2 Presets Vol. 5 - Trance | Sounds

BTW, If you’re into this genre, there’s also a Psy Trance Presets Pack ( N°6 ) here ANA 2 Presets Vol. 6 - Psy-Trance | Sounds

Quite a straightforward track to make this one, so it is great for a beginner, but even though I’ve been using Studio One for a few years now, I still picked up a load of tips. I didn’t know about the ‘hand’ for automation (serves me right for not RTM) - that alone has saved me loads of time.

A great tutor and great course… I’m a new beginner but this really got me going…

Keep up the good work Bjørn Akesson… like your groove and swinging music…

Great course. I love Bjorn’s style, both musical and for tutoring. Thanks Bjorn and SA!

Very helpful. Thanks a lot. :slight_smile:

I was a Cakewalk refugee looking for a new home when I watched this course months ago. I was impressed enough to purchase Studio One last xmas. I’m still RTM for Studio One and getting comfortable with it so I rewatched the course for some pointers. I learned a bunch of stuff that I can use right now and a bunch of stuff that will come in handy once I make the jump from Ableton to Studio One!

Hey @BDrifter we actually have a How To Use Studio One level 1 coming in a few weeks ! Hope you will get some great info for that !

That is wonderful news! I’m looking forward to that course. I plan on moving all production duties over to Studio by the end of July so that is perfect timing.

Such a slow workflow Bjorn :slight_smile: But still happy to see someone using SO.

I just started up with the Sonic Academy a few weeks ago and my tracks have gotten astronomically better! I love all of the classes I watched so far!

Possibly daft newbie question - but where do I get the “Sonic Academy Sample Pack” used for the first kick in the second video?? I’ve downloaded all the project files for this course, as well as the 6 packs that come with Sonic one (Pro Demo) and the sample pack for signing up to the newsletter. Still don’t see all these samples he uses…!

Hi there @pstretton

Checking the video it looks to me as if Bjorn is using a custom named folder here, I can’t find a downloadable pack with a folder name “Sonic Academy Sample Pack” and kicks samples file names like Kick 01.wav / Kick 02.wav …etc.

So either he re-arranged and tagged some S.A samples or it could be that those kicks were generated with S.A Kick 2 Plugin and render as .wav files & organize in a library, but again it looks like a custom library IMO.

Maybe @bjornakesson could confirm this, thanks :wink:

Other drums samples packs from Sonic Academy are available for purchase too, but the files names don’t match either, but there’s a huge Ultimate Drums 1 & 2 collection packs there :slight_smile:

Ultimate Drums - Complete | Sounds

Hey guys! @pstretton @Tekalight

I checked the folder and I found a Readme file inside.

It says:
“Sonic Academy
Gold Web Pass Sample Pack
Released: 11/10/2010”

I hope that helps, if not, then please reach out to the guys at Sonic Academy! :slight_smile:

All the best,
Bjorn

Thanks a lot for checking this out & chiming in with the solution that was a light bulb :wink:
Just understood my confusion now…LOL

Cheers !

@pstretton

OK, so thanks to Bjorn I got it now, I was looking for this in the Sonic Academy packs available for sale and also in the Your Account/My Downloads/Samples area, thus I could never find it because this pack is actually in your “Subscriber Benefits” area on the site.

From the main page go to Your Account/Subscriptions/Subscriber Benefits/Sounds and this pack is the first one in the list “Subscriber Sample Packs - Sonic Academy Sample Pack

Now the content of this area might vary according to your subscription I suppose, this looks like a pack available for the “Gold” ( yearly subscription plan ).

If your are logged-in this link should work too : Sign Up

Just checked it and it’s the good one, found the same Readme file inside, and that kick 14 used in the tutorial is from there in the Drums/Kicks sub-folder.
