Hey
I will try and find this out for you!

I am really happy with this course! I really like the clear and detailed explanations. I am missing this in a lot of other “how to make” tutorials. It is also very structured which I am also missing in some other tutorial series. This series is very good!

The only slightly negative thing for me is that I sometimes find it hard to understand due to the accent. (Englisch is also not my native language so that adds up to the difficulty)

29

Ok, I see that there are also a lot of negative comments on this…

Let’s add something. I am a beginner in making tracks, but I have a lot of theoretical knowledge about music production due to my interest in reading books about it. Somehow, this knowledge and experience is enough to follow this course.

The fact that this course is “simplified” according to some comments is not a bad thing in my opinion. I often get lost in other “how to make” series because they go to far into the details and in the end I lose the overall picture.

So maybe this course should not be labeled as “advanced”? Because for people like me in the range of beginner-intermediate I think this is a great tutorial and I would not want to miss it.

Makes it look so simple! Great tutorial peeps!

31

Thanks for the details and explanations on why you choose to notch out some of the bass frequencies. I’ve heard many videos / others say the same, and it is quite helpful to the mix.

32

Great tutorial but no mention at all about the music theory side of this production. It’s amazing if your clued up but certainly very hard to create something similar with no guidance or mention.

39

I’d be very grateful if someone could shed some light on the musical theory side of Detroit techno so I can start writing this music with that kind of vibe.

Mostly just minor chords with the odd minor 7th in there… quite a few use Cmin / Gmin chords sometimes Fmin thrown in.

41

Very nice track!

42

very nice track !

Hello,

First of all, great tutorial!

What about Vincenzo 5ths Omnisphere patch sound ?

And Bubbles patch on Diva?

It would be amazing to know how Vince got to that kind of sounds…

44

Are you after the sound design or the Patches ??

  • The sound design was not covered in the course unfortunately.

  • For the patches :

If you own Ableton Live as well as Spectrasonics Omisphere and U-he Diva plugins, then you can download the resources Live Project ( it’s compatible with recent version of Live ), load the Project and unfreeze the STABS and BUBBLES tracks then you should be able to open Omnisphere & Diva and access those presets to see how they were designed.

Live Project

Thanks, but the only one I can see in Omnisphere is the Vincenzo 5ths Omnisphere patch.
After unfreezing it works.

The Bubbles on Diva is not working, maybe because it was created with an older version of the software?

Other reason could be that I use VST3 and the Diva was a VST2 plug-in…
