Course description

This week here at Sonic Academy we have something pretty special for you, as we welcome back sound design guru and Mau5trap artist Dom Kane - and this time he's showing us how to make his latest release 'Structures' from the ground up.

Using his preferred DAW, Bitwig Studio, he starts off by showing us the chord pattern and sound design in ANA 2 before building the groove and editing samples to create loops of your own. We then check out Dom's awesome method of giving a random, human feel to the percussion using LFO's before we build interest and tension, create an endless Shepard Tone riser and finish off with the arrangement.

In this course, we get to see Dom's approachable and easy-to-follow methods of building a minimal, super effective track for one of the worlds leading record labels.

And this is where it gets freaking exciting!

Sonic Academy have teamed up with Mau5trap and together we're hosting an awesome exclusive remix competition, where the top prize will be a release on Deadmau5' very own label mau5trap - home to some of the biggest electronic music released in the last 10 years. The winning remix, as selected by mau5trap and Dom could get a spot on either We Are Friends or FOAR MOAR compilation albums.

Getting your winning mix out on Mau5trap will gain you unparalleled exposure and will kick start your major career! You can be in with a chance of joining artists such as BlackGummy, No Mana, Rezz, Chris Lake, Noisia, Skrillex and Steve Duda on this illustrious label!

The ‘How To Make Structures’ Remix Contest is exclusive and only available on Sonic Academy. We're proud to have one of the best music-making communities anywhere, and the level of production skillz coming through the forums is awesome!
So, ourselves and Dom Kane are super excited to see what you guys can come up with - we know you can smash it. You can now download the stems from this epic tune and start working your magic!

We have shown you how to make the tune, now it's over to you to get creative, make a remix of this track that shines above the rest, and show the world your production talent.

Just click the 'Enter Remix Comp' button above to find out more! This competition is open to all Sonic Academy registered users.

Contest ends - 13/04/2018 07:00:00 UTC
