16 x Episodes  [Duration 8 hours]

8 Hours for a reason.

Unlike other courses that may show you a full track in just a few hours, this course goes through the full track and thought process behind every decision in extreme detail. The thought process of why something is done is one of the most vital bits of information. Nothing is just skimmed over and I believe in this course you truly get what you pay for.

Brilliant!

Allan is absolutely killing it at the moment with these courses. This one is different to the logic pro one and even though I use logic and don't really like ableton, this was an absolute doddle to follow. At such a low price this Black Friday, it'd be criminal not to grab it as its full of so many bits of information and techniques that aren't in the other ones. I also LOVE the use of omnisphere in this one too. Its probably the best synth for atmos out there but going through thousands of patches not knowing what you're looking for is an absolute pain in the arse but Allan condenses this down into a small tutorial which is mindblowing! I also like how the tutorials are smaller and condensed than the other ones, but me personally I love the longer lectures where Allan properly goes into depth and explains everything but both approaches work for me. Million out of ten from me!

Awesome Course

I’m loving these shorter videos in this one, videos broken down into the 35 min bite size chunks really works with my learning style. Having watched about half the course now I’m really enjoying the focus on getting the best out of very simple elements, making things really stand out and work to fill space without the need for crazy glitchy fx everywhere, just a stripped back classy approach to creating that nostalgic feel. Definitely my favourite course to date from the site
