How To Make A Progressive Trance Track From Start To Finish (Track Made In The Course)
Want to learn how to make professional-sounding Progressive Trance 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 14.5+ 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 14.5+ 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)

An absolutely amazing course. I wanted to switch my focus from making uplifting trance to a more deeper, progressive style and this course helped me do that and a lot more. The way Allan describes his though process is key here as he's not rushing through his explanations and it makes it perfect for you to produce alongside him. If you fancy delving into a deeper style, this course is a must!! I grew up listening to progressive trance and I never thought I would have the opportunity to make it one day and thanks to this course, I feel so much more at home as a producer, plus I've picked up loads of tips along the way. If only I could give it a million stars I could!
I've purchased a few tutorials from different sources but none are straight to the point and so intuitive of why certain things are done. Allan's explanations are so easy to follow and in depth that I purchased a start to finish course I know I will not be disappointed. It's made me enthusiastic about learning trance production again rather than a burden. Don't waste money else where.
Plain and simple this is probably the best tutorial I've come across. I have not finished the course yet, but my experience thus far as been nothing but fantastic. Allan doesn't go too fast or too slow and explains every single step, as well as why. I look forward to progressing and learning more. I've been self taught the entire time I've been making music, but based on what I've seen so far, this course provides a solid foundation to work on. This wouldn't be a bad purchase at all for any new producers as well in my opinion.
Course is excellent. Really enjoy the style Allan teaches in. Very natural. I am very new to producing and these tutorial have been invaluable to me. Thanks
This course is great. Allan digs deep and gives a novice like me real insight into the thought process behind each choice he makes while building a track. He makes every part of the procedure easy to replicate. Most excellent!
