Classic Trance Kick n Bass

The usual quality from Allan. Although not in Ableton, i took so much away from what was being explained it didnt matter too much. Great content and worth the price as always.

So now we 2 Classic Kick & Bass tutorials on the website to choose from, owning the 1st I have that difficult question to ask myself, is it worth owning 2 or I am I just buying to feed an odd addiction to these tutorials? Listening to audio sample provided I could hear a number of fundamental differences to the overall sound so I decided to take the plunge and part with some cash. Turns out this was once again a great decision. I am loving the use of the 909 drum rack in this series. The element of design and sound shaping on older audio hits is very refreshingly new to me. I have always stuck with sample packs up until now. Then we have the midbass sound design, minimal layers for full impact, stripped back but effective style from back in the day which also includes some important lessons from the AM Studios cave around difficult producers choices. Overall a great video, plenty of knowledge with depth and weight behind each process. Hats off to AM Studios for once again delivering a quality and value for money tutorial.

Classic Trance Kick & Bass

It's nice to see another way of making K&B. I learned a few new things I can now add to my existing knowledge of music production. I'm not sure if I will be making classic trance right now but everything learned is useable in my existing productions. It can only help me improve in the future
