P2P | 12 November 2018 | 3.26 GB

Over these 20 videos Nate shares his professional knowhow and in-depth analysis of these vital elements of the frequency spectrum, which if you don’t treat with respect, can ruin and muddy up your mix. We start by looking at the tools we can use to analyse and visualise frequencies that the human ear can’t always pick up, before firstly moving on to the all important kick and how to build and recreate our own kicks that we know will work. We then check out how to correctly process our kicks with EQ and compression and how to eliminate phase issue problems when they arise. Nate then moves onto showing us how to create a punchy bassline and the importance of harmonics, selective EQ, along with compression and expansion techniques to ensure the kick and bass are giving their full potential without clashing. Finally, we look at the proven methods to help our kick and bass sit perfectly in the mix alongside the other elements.

The Synergy features 24 tone presets that have been reprogrammed in Ableton Live, Kontakt and Logic. It even includes the legendary program cartridges inspired by Wendy Carlos.

This week proudly welcomes back Swedish born 138 Trance legend Bjorn Akesson for a brand new course in How To Make Tech Trance. We’re also excited as for the first time here at Sonic Academy this awesome monster of a track is created in Presonus Studio One. Bjorn builds this entirely new tune from the ground up starting with a blank slate firstly creating the drums before moving on to the layered sub and mid bass. We then arrange the basic layout to give the foundation of the track before adding effects, creating the drop and main theme, adding atmosphere, along with a dope acid line and stabs. Throughout this course we check out Bjorn’s easy-to-follow, methodical approach to workflow and organisation along with his clever use of automation lines to create tension and move through the transitions of the breakdown and drop.
