Sonic Academy Tutorials

[mattus123]

Hey guys, so now that im finally on holidays i want to take a serious stab at production

ive been fiddling around with ableton for a bit, but still can't quite get my head around it

my question is, do you think the tutorials from www.sonicacademy.com would be worth the purchase. I wouldnt buy them all, maybe only 1 or 2 to get me started, as i dont want to buy them all, and develop a style that is purely the same as theirs.. wanna create my own

the ones i was looking at in particular are: http://www.sonicacademy.com/Training+Vi ... lo.cid3930

http://www.sonicacademy.com/Training+Vi ... -8.cid3860

http://www.sonicacademy.com/Training+Vi ... nd.cid2080

but yea, do you think it would be worth it?

To be honest you can probably just use the free ableton videos on youtube.

Look up ableton cook book.. http://www.anthonyarroyodotcom.com/theabletoncookbook/

follow ableton on facebook as they put up video with tips and tricks too.

But mostly just play around. Remember, it's non-destructive so don't be afraid to experiment and find out what certain things do.

hmm ok, cheers

so your vote goes into the 'not worth it' pile?

so your vote goes into the 'not worth it' pile?

yeah. not worth it.

they are alright. i haven't bought from sonic before but I've got a few from http://www.groove3.com which are alright. i think they are decent for beginners if you dont mind spending the cash. but Russell is pretty spot on can probably find most of it on youtube these days.

i ended up buying one of them

they do have some good little tips and go into things in a bit more depth than youtube

but yea between that tutorial and everything out there on youtube, i think i should be sweet

I reckon they're pretty gd. They practice the proper methods of sequencing.

Also check Groove3. Mate of mine does a few of there's

I just picked up ableton these holidays too man

Highly recommend this guy

very informative and goes through about 8 10 min vids with you... making a demo track... so by the end of it your pretty set for your own thing...

helps if you have 2 screens so you can follow along
