Icon Collective and D. Ramirez

So I hear D. Ramirez has a 6 part video he did when he visited the Icon Collective Scholl in L.A…  It was being put out in the next 6 issues of Future Music starting with the July 2010 issue. 

I actually cancelled my subscription a while back and it is no longer distributed to brick and mortar retailers here in the US.  Has anyone checked it out yet?  Is it any good?

He did an in the studio video with them a few years back and I thought it was pretty good.

Yeah, was pretty cool actually…





Basic’s y’know… but the 1st Tut he was going through making a template… which he’d touched upon in an article in FM a while back. i picked up probably 5 or 6 things in that 1st one… Pretty cool. His w/site is pretty cool also (The Vids will be on that at some point according to him).





Its pretty expensive that ICON place… $6000 for the online course. I registered to see the free Tut that was advised @ the end of the FM Disk & got an Email from a Guy called Bobby who said he was mailing to "Reach Out to me… " LOL.



That was abt 2wks ago nearly… and today (needless to say I ignored the last email… ), He sent me another one telling me that they had a Scholarship for me worth $3000 towards the course.



I reckon I should hold out for the next Email - HaHa! :w00t:

which issue number do these tuts start on ???

Thanks ICN.  I really want to check it out now.  I’ld love to see what he is setting up on the busses in Logic for his start off.  Specifically which delay and reverb settings.

Icon is pretty expensive but I think most of these audio schools get a bit pricey.  Definitely hold out till the next few emails maybe he will reach out to you with a $6000 dollar scholarship…lol.

I went to WH Smith there and looked at the July FM issue 228 and it said they had 2 in the studio features with DJ Dan and Pendulum, had a quick look at the editors notes and no mention there of Rameriz so I assumed it wasn’t out yet.

Is it defo in this July issue 228?  Why da hell they not put it on the cover or at least on the first page inside?

just flicked through the mag and DVD as i noticed i already have that and can’t seem to find anything either :slight_smile:

Disk Contents / Extras / Icon Masterclass.





Now Lads - That’ll be $1500 each please! :wink:

Strange as I’ve seen it posted in a few places including D.Ramirez’s website.  I was told it’s only on the DVD and there is no write up about in the magazine itself. 

Here’s a preview of it

It’s in this issue! For some reason they don’t really point out on the front page about d rameriez doing the 6 part series, bad move, i think if people seen it, it would help shift extra numbers.



However it was the ONLY thing in the magazine that attracted me to the DVD so i didn’t buy it, pretty sure they’ll all end up on future musics youtube page. So save yourself the £6

maybe if you let him reach out to you youll get a extra discount

I’m currently uploading some Pics to a dodgy site now… God help me! :wink: :D 

A discount? I’m going to mention that to Starla my favorite stripper the next time I reach out.

Very strange why they wouldn’t make it prominant over ‘DJ Dan’ (who??? lol!).  Waiting for kind youtube uploaders :slight_smile:

Yeah… Should have been on the Cover alright… I’m sure lots havent seen it or realised that it was starting that issue. Way to go!

Apart from that - its on p6 & tucked away on the top of p14.

In fairness, its a busy month for the cover, with 2 In the Studios & The MK Remix Comp.

But definitely surprising… as surely its a selling point, otherwise why include it? :hehe:

lol i’ve been looking through the wrong dvd and mag :blush: i’ve just realised that i don’t have this one and my local news agents are out of stock, now i have to back order one from FM.



in the mean time anyone want to upload the video i’d be cool with that lol

Any Links on You Tube ? :slight_smile:
