Courses for Electronic Music Production / sonic music academy / point blank any good?

[OllieThomas]

Hi all,

I currently have Logic, but knowledge of its workings are minimal. I was wondering if there are any courses out there which teach you quickly how to use the software? I have lots of ideas I would like to bring to fruition! May switch to Ableton, undecided....

Cheers

Ollie

Check out http://Vespers.ca too, he's got lots of free stuff on his site, and his paid for classes are good too.

Don't pay to learn. There is honestly that much free crap on youtube and the net if you look hard enough you wont have to spend a dollar on learning how to use shit.

If you actually dedicate time and effort into learning how to use stuff in the DAW your using you'll get more out of it then being spoon fed on what to do. Like sit down for an hour with a kick drum and start eq'ing it or mess about trying to recreate your favourite sound's in a Synth.

I know its hard because I started of just like you from the sounds of things but if you stick it out and get stuck into the habit of messing and really reading on how things work you'll get further but if you really are stuck and cant figure out what your doing, Take a look at Groove3.

Groove3 for $25 or something you get unlimited access to all videos and man to they have some good shit. They basically have everything to do with music production in depth tutorials.

If you ever need a hand though, i'd be happy to help you out aswell. Just msg me on here ^.^

This is true. I don't really see sonic academy or groove3 or vespers as really paying to learn. If you just search around youtube you will find a lot of stuff and a lot more really crappy half baked tutorials to sift through. Paying $25-$50 for access to one of the previous mentioned sites and getting access to tons of decent tutorials in one place is great. It's worth the money for all the time you save sifting through shit tutorials on youtube.

If OP was thinking about dropping $2000 on dubspot online classes I might advise against it but $50 or less is nothing for the having great material all in one place since most stuff on youtube is junk (unless you like sifting though 15 bad tutorials at illegible screen capture resolution to find one decent 6 minute video).

People spend much more money on sample packs and VSTs they won't use in the beginning- a subscription to one of those sites is hardly the worst investment you can make and not something I would advise against.
