What you are going to learn

This is a class designed for those who want to master sound design by learning from some of the best artists producing today.

In this class, you won't just be hearing from me. You will have 5 incredibly experienced, professional instructors. I'll be one of them, but I've brought in some of the top sound designers working right now to give up their secrets.
  • Jack Denny: Best known for his role as one of three producers and performers in the super-group Ternion Sound. These guys are all over the world right now.
  • Joe Dumpling: Known primarily under his alias Dumpling, Joe is a top-notch producer and multi-instrumentalist. And an experienced teacher, too!
  • Zak Khan: Zak is making some of the funkiest, coolest music I've heard in a long time, so I was super excited he agreed to help out with some videos here. Get ready for something special.
  • James Patrick: You've met James before in some of my other classes, but he is also a world-renowned producer and performer, and accomplished teacher (and Ableton Certified Trainer)
Here is a list of some of the questions we will answer:
  • Making Drum Sounds from Anything
  • Giving Life to your Kick
  • Transients and "Beaters"
  • Making a Snare Drum Selector
  • Giving Live to your Hihats
  • The Original 808
  • Recreating 808 Sounds
  • Drum Fills
  • Resampling Drums
  • Finding Vocal Samples
  • Chopping and Processing Vocal Samples
  • Turning Vocals into Drum Sounds
  • And much, much more!


This course is NOT specific to any DAW program.

This is a course about techniques. Most techniques that you see the instructors doing can be replicated in several different applications. We will focus here on techniques, and learning with step-by-step examples of how to make specific sounds. 

The goal of this class is to help you define your sound by learning some of the tricks of the best in the world.

Course reviews

I learned so much from this course. Been producing for a couple years and just haven't been able to get these clean bass sounds. After spending around 5 or 6 hours going through these tutorials and applying the techniques I am now able to get much nicer bass sounds and there are also some really cool tricks in here as well. Thank you!!
