How To Sound Like Kavinsky

View Course

This week, we’re proud to welcome new tutor and US-based producer, DJ and Emmy award winning audio engineer - Taylor Franklyn!

In this epic course suitable for all abilities, Taylor takes on a recreation of the awesome synthwave track ‘Nightcall’ by Kavinsky. Featured in the movie ‘Drive’, and becoming the most shazam’d track of all time following its appearance in the closing ceremony at the Paris Olympics, we dive into the production techniques and skills needed to capture that classic ‘Kavinsky’ sound.

With only a few elements and a simple arrangement, less is definitely more with this track, as it still packs a punch.

Over these 10 videos, you’ll learn the sound design and processing tips and tricks to get from a blank slate to a finished masterpiece.

Check it out!

Great course. Super fun. Sounded great.

Hey Sonic academy editor - the intro sonic academy sound is going to blast out my speakers though… intro is too loud compared to the rest of the tutorial XD
