Course description

Back by popular demand Techno legend Christian Vance is more than welcome once again here at Sonic Academy with an all-new 'How To Make' course where he creates a fierce Peak Time Techno banger in Ableton Live!

Christian's courses are renowned for their clever use of macros and Ableton's rack generators, and this one is no exception. Using a single MIDI line that feeds three different instruments along with an unconventional use of two separate kicks, this is not only a music creation course but also a lesson in utilising Ableton's capabilities to jam and have fun with your sounds!

There are no rules here and this one is very much about teaching you the tools to use yourself rather than just recreating the same track again. Once you take the time to map controls and set up effects the different possibilities for your sounds are practically endless.

Check it out and level up on your skillz!
