Course description

Sonic Academy presents another awesome course this week with How To Make Melodic Techno, and proudly welcomes back techno and house fusion producer Christian Vance to show you the ropes with this increasingly popular genre.

In this creative and experimental two and a half hour course, Christian takes us step by step through the process of building this epic track.

From the initial set up, through to building a simple, driving groove, to using Ableton's full sequencing potential to create melodic phrases that can be edited and automated with various effects, all resulting in something truly unique.

Bursting with pro tips and tricks, Christian shares the tools he uses while emphasising how versatile these techniques can be in creating your own unique sound and getting the software to do the hard work, so you can get on with having fun!
