Aimed at producers of all abilities from beginners to those wanting to take their skillz to the next level, Darin takes us step by step through the production process showing us how he creates the first beat and groove to mixing and mastering, giving us a real insight into the fundamental techniques and methods he’s discovered while rising up the ranks and instilling his name in the Progressive House scene.
But that’s not all!
Also with this course, we’re treating you to another fantastic remix competition! - The How To Make One Thousand and One Nights Remix Contest is exclusive, here on Sonic Academy and you could be in with a chance of winning some cool prizes and ultimately getting a release on Darin Epsilon’s own label Perspectives Digital.

A+ music production course. Darin is incredibly talented, and he shares his production techniques transparently, by walking you through One Thousand & One Nights - an extremely well-received progressive-house track. I recommend this course to anyone learning how to produce electronic music.
Thanks again for this wonderful opportunity to get involved! I hope your subscribers find the tutorial helpful. Can’t wait to hear those remixes!
Great, give this possibility to small producers
This is one of the best tutorials I’ve seen.
Brief and concise, full of useful tips and tricks. Includes a lot of detailed technical information that has been clearly stated.

I wish i had this tutorial when I started producing music. It covers all of the basics and helps fill in some gaps. Awesome tutorial! Thanks Darin.
Thanks Darin, great tutorial
Enjoyed your tutorial Darin. You have a a very good teaching ethic. Thanks. I have a couple of questions for you. I noticed that the Bass sound in Trilian had quite a good bottom end. Why did you choose to cut that low end and add one in Sub Boom Base? Also I noticed you cut the Sub Boom Base Sub around 128hz with a 24db slope cutting off around 80hz. Do you normally cut your subs off that high up? I never noticed where your kick was reaching down to. Was this the reason? I still fall flat on my face sometimes with the kick vs bass war after several years of production Lol!! Thanks again for your Tutorial and your help 
Hi D, to answer your question: 24db slope is the default setting in Ableton Live’s Auto Filter. The low end of the raspy bassline was cut off to make room for the 2nd lower bassline. It’s two basslines being layered together to create something new. First bassline helps provide rhythm and groove while the second one provides weight and power. Does that help to answer your question?
I am a maschine user but found this to be a great tutorial. I am really thinking of switching to Ableton but just love my maschine too much. For some reason Ableton makes more sense to me and I can read it better.
Thanks Darin !
You’r tutorial was one of the reasons to sign up here .
Great tutorial , i learned a lot !
Yes Thanks I presume then your Kick was taking up that bottom end space between 20hz and 80hz?
This tutorial is so helpful! Thank you for doing this Darin
