Make Simple Sounds That Work for Electronic Production

Chords. Basses. Leads. Track Breakdowns.

I made this course because for years I was stuck trying to follow tutorials to make electronic sounds - and still not doing it right.

And I just got so tired of feeling like I was missing something key in the thought process itself.

It took me years of study and practice to finally realize that most sounds were actually based on simple foundational sounds.

Reese basses, supersaws, plucks...

Really simple things.

And once I started thinking from these sounds first, the tutorials I'd watch started to make so much more sense. 

Because now I'd see one and say "Oh, that's just another variation on the reese bass."

Or "Oh, that's just a tweak on the supersaw."

But if you don't know these foundational sounds and how they work, you will think every sound is different and unique - and it's completely overwhelming.

So that's why I made this course.

To help you learn & create foundational sounds, so you can think clearer, and make simple sounds that just work.

Then see how I put them to use in real tracks.

I'm not the best sound designer in the world. That's not my thing. My thing is more about composition & intentionality in the DAW.

So don't take this course if you wanna make sounds like Virtual Riot, AU5... they're pushing stuff to another level.

But if you're more at the beginner or intermediate stage of sound design and just want it to make sense so you can start making your own sounds from scratch and understand the tutorials you see better...

This course was made for you.
