Course description

Back by popular demand, Sonic Academy proudly presents an all new 'How To Make' course with Trance legend Bjorn Akesson.

In How To Make 138 Trance, Bjorn takes us on a spiritual eastern journey with a monster track based on his 2011 critically acclaimed hit Painting Pyramids, which went down in the history books and still remains in the minds of many as their all time favourite.

From creating the initial beat and pumping bass to writing the main theme layering synths, instruments and vocals, right through to arranging and perfecting the mix, Bjorn builds this track in a methodical, easy-to-follow way that producers of all abilities will be able to apply to any DAW and not just Cubase.

This is definitely one that shouldn't be missed!
