Welcome to the Classic Trance Track Start To Finish Production Course
Want to learn how to make that Classic Trance sound but don’t know where to start? Are Youtube tutorials not giving you the answers you want? Tired of your tracks not sounding good next to the pros?
It’s all here in this 13+ hour course where I will go over everything from the ground up! You will see my full creative process, and learn my full thought process behind every sound that is designed or chosen in real-time.
Why is this course different?
Nothing is pre-planned so that you get to see everything that works and doesn’t (just like when you are in the studio). This allows you to learn from each step of the process.
There are no pre-planned sounds that just fall into place so that you can understand why something is working, and why it’s not. This provides a much better learning experience for you when you then come to tackle issues that you face when producing your tracks.
My goal with every tutorial is to give as much detail as possible (hence why it’s 13+ hours) and not just quickly skim over parts. See below for a full list of the subjects that are covered (full page description links included also)
7 x Episodes [Duration 13 hours 30+ mins]
13+ 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.
FREE Template & Guides
FREE Quickstart Trance Template, 4 x Page Mixdown Guide & EQ Chart to help you along the way!

DVM Music This course is chock full of good information. I bought this as part of Alan's summer sale to bolster my learning. I grew up listening to trance between 1997 to 2000 and there were so many good producers out then, I wanted to learn how to make that style of trance. I'm so glad I got this as I learned how to do that and picked up even more great tips that I didn't even know existed. This course is vital for anyone that has an interest in this style or just wants this to pick up those extra little nuggets of info you won't find elsewhere, thanks Alan! You've smashed it yet again!

Paul Jarrett Wow, I was so sceptical about this but took the plunge with the whole course. Completed the first video (kick and bass) literally yesterday and I learned more than I ever expected to. I have set myself a timeline of spending 1 week playing with what I’ve learnt before moving onto the next giving me a 9 week project. Superb.

Geir Breimo Like sitting on a Masters lap watching every step og the process. Sometimes it gets a bit detailed so requires patience and it would have been nice to stop and get an overview of the goal, the song structure and what layer goes where in the structure. It gets there in the end of cause so it's just the way he works but sometimes it's hard to see the woods for all the trees. Recommend this to anybody who is serious about production and there's lots to learn to use in other genres as well.

Daniele Framarin I just started the course, I think it's very interesting, I ma learning a bunch of things. Go on....If I have to suggest something, I will explain a bit slower and let people see well some processes (for example the change of velocity automatically up or down). If possibile I will introduce some subtitles at least in English language.
I will let you know more when I listen to the next lessons. Bye

JACK MCDOWALL Great course with lots of great wisdom wish it was done with less logic pro plugins but easy to follow along nonetheless
