“It was a great course to get the basics of peak-time techno. I am especially happy with the chapters on Low End and High End. By simply following the advice in the rumble videos I could make really great subbasses. Unfortunately, I do not have some of the plugins that the instructor uses while demonstrating mixing and mastering. However, the explanation of what and why is done is great. I can feel that the instructor gives away the conclusions of many years of experience. I am looking forward to taking the mixing and mastering course too. ”

In addition, Alice's tracks has gotten editorial support from Spotify playlists such as Electronic Rising, Techno Bunker, LowKey Tech, Truly deeply House and so on.

  • What do I need to follow the course?

    The course instructor Alice will be using Ableton Live during the training. However, you will be still able to follow it with any DAW. As the techniques shown in the course are universal and can be applied in any DAW.

  • Which plugins do I need to use?

    The course instructor, Alice, prefers to use mostly Ableton stock plugins. However, there are some additional plugins that is needed during the track breakdown as Ableton does not have some of the functionality with stock plugins. The most common ones are; FabFilter Pro Q3 for dynamic EQing, Soothe 2 for resonance supression, UAD Pultec for passive EQ, Fabfilter Pro MB for surgical multiband compression extra distortion plugins for specific tonality and so on. Moreover, some extra vst synthesizers such U-He Hive 2 and Diva, Arturia Pigments and V collection, NI Kontakt and Xfer Serum will be used as well.

  • Are samples/presets royalty free? Can I use them in my projects?

    Apart from Alice's own track and project file; "Unsettle" that is deconstructed in the course, everything is royalty free and you are free to use any material that you get during the course in your future production. In fact, we encourage you to use them as much as possible, as we can guaranty the pristine sonic quality of our materials.

  • Will I get future updates if I purchase the course now?

    Yes, of course! We will be continiously adding new chapters in the course as music production always evolves. If there are new low end types, or if there is a question that many students wonder; it will be added as a new chapter. Therefore, this course will be ever living content. Purchasing now is probably the best option as the price may go up in the future due to addition of new materials and chapters.
