What makes AM Studios tutorials different from the rest? 

There is no set way to produce music, and you are always going to come up against issues and creative blocks. In these tutorials, there are no pre-planned sounds, and everything is done in real-time so that you get to see any problems that come up and how to overcome them.

This is a much better way to learn than watching sounds that already fit, fall right in to place. We all know that is not how producing music works in the real world! Watching in real-time will equip you with the skills and understanding of how to overcome any particular issues that arise. It will show you different ways to tackle it, so you don’t quit and instead come out of the studio with completed projects.

Progressive intro plucks

There was a sound I was trying to get in my tracks for a long time. Then bang. These tutorials come along. It’s so good to now have a go to video to take ideas from. The way Allan explains himself too, so easy to understand and take his ideas and create your own from them. Top drawer again.
