Clever Techniques Revealed

I enjoyed finding out ways of creating Pads utilising effects that I would not have thought of, there are techniques that elevate the sound to "pro" = small changes make big differences in the end. It's a live session watching Allan build the sound up from scratch "warts n all". Although I use a different DAW and different synth I was still able to follow no probelm. My pads now sound like fountains of rainbows where before they were more like The London Philharmonic from "outside the club" lol!

Always top quality

I love buying Allan’s tutorials as you feel like you can really work alongside them and create the sounds you’re aiming to achieve. The way Allan’s tutorials are specifically sectioned to various areas of production allows you to focus on any key areas you feel your production is lacking quality - and by the end of the tutorial, you feel a lot more confident that you’ve hugely increased your skill and achieved what you were aiming for

Over 2 hrs of pads, what's not to love? So much detail on creating progressions, separating the sounds on multi layers, sound design in multiple synths, creating movement within each layer! Worth every penny, I have learned so much from this and got so much inspiration for my project. Absolutely buzzing after watching it. Great work!!

Allan simplifies making pads using one note and putting them together in harmonies with other pad sounds (High, Med and Low). I couldn't have imagined that 6 months ago knowing nothing and owning no equipment that I would be making seriously decent trance music. I've done several other edm courses and they help in some ways but they don't touch these courses if you want to make trance
