I just finished a production course. I learnt a lot but there was more detail I wanted to understand. I came across this tutorial series and decided to purchase. I'm very glad I did.

The style of teaching is easy to follow and leaves no stone unturned. It won't write a track for you but that isn't what's needed. If you really want to understand all the in depth stuff of production, this is it. It also shows that buying more plugins (whilst nice) isn't required. Well worth the money.

Very good set of kick drums,

My only gripe is that they are a little similar, some of them sound like variations of the same kick.. However they are the same genre so I understand they have to be similar in design... I bought these as a reference as I synthesize my kicks and snares in serum on a per track basis.. However I would highly recommend these to anyone who isn't as well versed in drum synthesis as myself, they serve as a great starting point for more genres than trance, and are very well made!

I'm really glad I found this tutorial, because this is the most detailed and well explained tutorial about automation I've seen online. And I suffered enough trying to understand automation from youtube channels and still I was not there. Allan explains everything really good and easy to understand. A great tutorial in depth, really recommended! Knowledge is priceless.
And special thanks to Allan , who helped me a lot with my download issues in a short time.

Trance Kick & Bass Tutorial

Every preset is usefull, no fillers and a great starting point for any track when writing trance or hard dance!

One of the reason’s I love AM’s tutorials and what seems to set them apart from other’s, is that he comes across as genuine and passionate about music production - and that it’s not just an income avenue or a self-marketing ploy.

To me, I find more value in the thought processes and decisions that are going into developing a particular piece of the track rather than the literal mechanics. There is a particular segment in this tutorial explaining that all these “rules” that are out there (youtube)- always cut your mid basses at 250hz, etc. are nonsense. Each sound is different and the accompanying tracks around it should dictate how you EQ or compress something. That little nugget has helped me immensely, even in my “non-trance” music projects. I come back to these videos periodically and still learn things from them. Worth the investment. Cheers!

Hello, Allan! I want to say a big thank you for the EQ Rack plugin. I am very happy with the purchase. I am happy to use it in creating music!

Allan, this is an excellent template, probably one of the best i have bought - pls make more templates for Ableton!

There are a lot of awesome presets! I made a sick acid style bassline and some really nice 303 loops.

Excellent course easy to understand, very good workflow

Really good fx samples ready to use in my new projects. Could be usefull for all genres I produce. So really thank you man for this. Recommend to buy it.

Not sure if it is because of the style being made, but this has for me been the best automation tutorial on the site to date. Something about the pace of this and the simplicity to get the desired results just clicked! Really well explained in great detail of loads of new information and pointers. The boss has done it again. Really loving this series a lot.

I put a trance kick and bass together before using this tutorial, then again after. The after version sounded better. So it definitely helped, and at this price you can't go wrong!

This template is exactly what I was looking for amazing layout total recommend to other artists that are a fan of the tech trance sound!!

This course is something I would recommend to anyone. It does not matter if you are a complete beginner or someone with experience in producing Trance you will definitely learn a lot from Allan in this truly in depth course. One of the best things is that you can always come back to it and refresh your memory.

This tutorial is exactly what anyone learning to make Trance needs, it covers the foundation to any Trance track but not only that these methods can be used across any Genre of electronic music. Before I purchased this I knew most of what was taught in the video, however I was not disappointed in the methods, techniques and approach it provided when starting a track from scratch. It definitely got me thinking outside of box so I 100% recommend this no matter what skill level you are at.

Whether you are just starting off into the world or production of in need of a refresher Allans tutorials always deliver. This tutorial is easy to follow along and as always in depth with Allan explaing everything, what more do you need?

Tutorial is decent. Stripped back and easy to follow along. It's amazing how simple things are when you see the videos.
I personally used Ableton even though Allan used Logic for this one and i haven't had any issues understanding or transferring the same principles.

WoW!! Allan does it again. This has to be the best comp tutorial I have seen. The way Allan demonstrates each compression type is in such a way that anyone can understand it. The examples are top notch, and the explanation as to how to shape a sound using the compressor is so clear. If you struggle with compression then this small investment will stand you in good stead for years to come.

The video is extensive, and after watching it I was able to quickly assemble a lead that was rich and full sounding. I definitely feel more capable, and that I'm making better decisions.

This is the second video I've ordered. The "live production" style of Allan's videos has a great advantage over most contrived tutorials in that you do see how he approaches and overcomes the issues that you face during production. However, there is a downside, in that the same process may be covered multiple times, or particular techniques may be situational and difficult to generalise.

I believe this is a good trade-off though, and (if you're like me) Allan's videos will provide a vital missing piece of the production puzzle. I feel that, more than just a set of techniques (and there are some cool techniques in there), the video teaches an attitude towards production. And that's pretty invaluable.

The reason for the dropped star is that the video stops before the really fun bit: an overall filtering strategy. A big part of the trance lead sound is long filter automations or LFOs, changing envelopes from short plucks to long searing leads. I would have loved to see the strategy Allan uses to handle filter automation on such a densely layered lead sound.

But for the price, you get a lot of information so I can't complain too much!

I really appriciate this tutorial. It is easly explained in details which help me to organize better my projects. Also the method used in this tutorial for layering the melody gives you new point of view and another solution to do it in a good way. If you want to learn how to layering your melldy this course is for you!

So much to inspire you here. Use as they are, tweak to fit your project or use as a learning resource. Great stuff.

I don't think I have seen a layering tutorial quite like this. You need to see and hear the changes while being made to truly understand how it effects the sound overall. It was very helpful and will save you a lot of time and stress. Recommended!
