Course description

This week, Sonic Academy proudly welcomes back Techno legend Kirk Degiorgio for an all-new 'How To Make' course where he revisits the Dark Techno genre and brings another massive tune to the table.

Over these eleven videos, we dissect this track into its individual elements, checking out how each part is created, and also look at alternative methods that can be used to get similar results, making this course accessible for everyone.

From the huge pounding kick and sub-layers to the high-end percussive elements along with the chaotic sequenced synth lead using complex oscillators in both hardware and software, this course has everything you need to help you create a track that will stand out in a club setting.

Check it out, learn from a true pro and level up!
