Chris, that is an amazing course you made. It's just the thing I was looking for. I already tried so long to get that ambient sound in my trance tracks, but never succeeded. Thanks to you I am now able to get that sound I was looking. Thanks!

We updated the project files - could those of you having any issues with missing files re-download them to see if that solves your issue!

Fantastic course! So many tips and tricks, really enjoyed it. Chris explains himself well and goes into detail about every insert and effect he applies to the track. Keep the Logic Tutorials coming! Getting my friend to sign up next week. I might do the year long as long as fresh new stuff comes out. Thanks guys.

The Pad's in the resources are not correct for the track in the tutorial - anybody else find this?
treejwoods Says:
March 09, 2012 at 21:22
Yes I have two issues. One I can't import the pads into logic to use them for the ESX. Secondly, I don't have the preset choirpadvelo he's talking about in the pads tutorial. Is this just me? If so help would be much appreciated =)

Should we not download the 2nd file in the resources section? It shows that the file signature does not match. Just curious... Thanks!

Great tutorial. Thanks Chris. I learned tons from this. FYI (sure you already know, but...) thereâ??s some doubling/slapback echo on the music track on some tutorials, e.g., tut 2 (about 10 min in), tut 16 (about 14 min in) and tut 20 (about 3 min in) which makes the track a little difficult to hear clearly. Thanks again and this has really helped me in my music making.

Hey Chris, thanks for this tutorial ! Just one question, concerning your chords for the main riff. You said you begin with an A, then F. C and finally E. I tried to figure out what you were saying in terms of music theory, but I wasn't successful. What is the main scale (Fmajor ?) ?

Thanks for the in-depth tutorial, Chris. I greatly appreciate the level of detail you went into at each step. I'll definitely be taking in all of the videos you have put together for Sonic Academy. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to make big room tunes.

Amazing tutorial.. Definitely learned a lot. My only question and concern is with your placement of time based effects (delays/reverbs) being inserted directly on certain individual tracks; I've always been taught and told by audio industry professionals (none of them were electronic music producers) that the only correct practice is to use sends/returns. Can you clarify why exactly you insert them directly on the channel at times and if this will affect the mix in anyway? Would be greatly appreciated. Again, very good tutorials, thoroughly enjoyed them. Thanks

Was able to get the EXS24 presets to import using the instrument itself, but no direction on how to get there from the "Settings" as he does at 2:42 in tutorial 11... so the channel strip setting he uses aren't loading so frustrating >.<

I have logic 9 pro and cant figure out why I am missing the Apple loops Chris is using. I see them in his dowload pack but I should have them in my loop library. Anyone have a solution to this??
