Course description

Happy New Year everyone and what better way to start with an epic all-new 'How To Make' course as we deep dive into the world of Classic Trance!

Believe it or not, this is the first 'How To Make' course from our good friend Bluffmunkey, and following on from his momentous 'Trance Essentials' course he decided to build a trance track live from scratch while keeping to the methods used 'back in the day' from the late 90s and early 2000s.

Going back to where it all started for Bluffmunkey, he opens Cubase to revisit the process of building the initial drums and chord progression that'll start this 7-hour journey into producing an absolute Classic Trance track.

Packed full of tips, tricks, sound design and old skool wisdom - all while keeping the plugin and track count to a minimum, this is a course all Trance headz out there need to watch!

Go check it out!
