Sonic Academy proudly welcomes back Nate Raubenheimer aka Protoculture this week for a masterclass in EQ. The importance of EQing our tracks effectively cannot be emphasised enough, and over these 18 videos we delve into the depths of what, why, where, when and how to EQ every element of our masterpieces so that each frequency can be heard or removed to make them shine to their full potential.

Producer pro Chris Herrera delivers an in-depth video series all about creating that "Vintage Vibe" in your digital recordings! See how to craft realistic sounding lo-fi effects, tape and tube saturation, vintage reverbs and more, using both stock and select 3rd party plug-ins.

Updated for v2, Tyler Coffin brings you an in-depth series on the amazing Arturia Synclavier V virtual synth. See and hear how this synth is a painstaking recreation of the original, big dollar synth from the 80s, and how to use it effectively in your productions!

Expand your skills with Music Production Masterclass! You just need to know Avid and Sibelius well, and of course, know how to read and write sheet music.

In this class, you will learn an introduction to Max for Live and Max 8. This class is for anyone who's wondering what Max for Live actually is and how can you use the basics of this programming language.

In this Part 3 Xfer Serum Synthesiser class, we look at the Filer, Envelopes, LFOs, Voicing and also the Global Section. I recommend taking the other 2 parts first, however, it's not essential.

In this Part 3 Xfer Serum Synthesiser class, we look at the Wavetable Editor, the FFT Editor Section and also importing audio into the Wavetable to create your own custom Wavetables in Serum.

This orchestral wind course takes an in-depth look at the individual members of the clarinet, bassoon and saxophone families. Continue your studies of the wind section with professional orchestrator and instructor Thomas Goss!

In this Part 3 Xfer Serum Synthesiser class, we look at an Overview of this Serum Synth and then we look at the 2 main oscillators, sub oscillator, and the noise oscillator. We then have a look at the Warp menu.

Straight out of the box, Novation’s Launchkey MIDI controller offers smart and creative shortcuts to producing and performing, particularly if you’re using Ableton Live.

With the ongoing development of algorithmic composition programs and communities of practice expanding, algorithmic music faces a turning point. Joining dozens of emerging and established scholars alongside leading practitioners in the field, chapters in this Handbook both describe the state of algorithmic composition and also set the agenda for critical research on and analysis of algorithmic music. Organized into four sections, chapters explore the music's history, utility, community, politics, and potential for mass consumption. Contributors address such issues as the role of algorithms as co-performers, live coding practices, and discussions of the algorithmic culture as it currently exists and what it can potentially contribute society, education, and ecommerce. Chapters engage particularly with post-human perspectives - what new musics are now being found through algorithmic means which humans could not otherwise have made - and, in reciprocation, how algorithmic music is being assimilated back into human culture and what meanings it subsequently takes. Blending technical, artistic, cultural, and scientific viewpoints, this Handbook positions algorithmic music making as an essentially human activity.
