Simple tutorial. This is a great way to just start making some stuff with that dark, gritty, hypnotic feel. This shows how easy it is too just make a track so you can then spend more time really putting the interesting little touches on it.

This is an excellent tutorial. I like Christian Vance’s approach to making techno. It’s simple where it needs to be but not over-simplified. And it sounds good!

I cant find the presets. i hae just bought ANA for this course and dont have any of the presets described

Hi there @hamaton3

You mean you just bought ANA 2 from Sonic Academy Website ??

This tutorial is from 2016 and it was made using ANA ( a prior version and different synth that is now discontinued for sale ), so you won’t find those presets in ANA 2 and anyway, since ANA & ANA 2 are different synths, the presets are not compatible. You should be able to create similar sounds in ANA 2 following the course IMO.

For reference, here is a pic of ANA vs ANA 2

I also bought ANA2 same as a man under the comment who do not know the different between ANA and ANA2…

If I can buy a preset sound which name is “Kick sub bass” mentioned from this tutorial, Could someone tell me the name of preset pack vol.1 Vol.2 etc…or do not buy this preset from preset pack.

Hey there @Tomofumi_Kuribayashi

ANA & ANA 2 are 2 different synths, you’ll find some similitude between the 2 in the plugin’s GUI & controls & features but ANA 2 was designed from the ground up and therefore ANA & ANA 2 presets are not compatible + ANA is not anymore on sale from S.A.

The preset “Kick Sub Bass” is a Factory preset that you can find under the “Bass Techno” category, so if you own ANA, it’s in the factory presets, you won’t need to buy a pack. If you’re only own ANA 2 you will need to replicate this sound.

Thank you for your comment. I understood there is no same preset “Kick Sub Bass” in ANA 2 and ANA 2 preset pack.

That’s just fine. I can try to make a similar sound from ANA2 or another synth.

Thanks a lot again.

Great tutorial to do a dark techno track from scratch. Also several gold tricks to add color and better mixing to your songs. I only missed deeper explanations about delay’s behaviours between them.

To whom it concerns - “Bass beefer 2” in ANA 2.0 is very similiar to Bass beefer and just needs a few tweaks and the sub/sine in “FM tech bass 3” in ANA 2.O seems to work well also with a few tweaks :grin:

One my favorite courses here and my usual go to when spinning up a new track. Also fits well with the genres I tend to write which more Industrial like Front Line Assembly. Who those guys need a group of courses of their own as the amount of sounds and textures they have produced throughout their is astounding.
