EDM class?

[pkuronen]

I know it sounds a bit silly but is there a class, course or document package that would cover all of the EDM production techniques?

I mean the things you just need to make your piece sound believable - like for example "ducking reverb with tail cutting in the next transient". Hunting knowledge in that area is like running after breadcrumbs and kills all the creativity. I could research and figure it all by myself but I will be 80 before I get it all

This kind of package would be worth paying for I believe.

Ordered the book. Thanks acYm!

Groovomega thanks for the links. However most of those are just collections of thousands of bits of information here and there, hard to find unless you know what you are looking for. I had groove3 subscription before.

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop kinda place where you can get up to a professional level on all aspects of producing EDM (production, mixing, mastering, networking, etc.), I can’t recommend the Hyperbits Masterclass enough. I took it during spring 2018. It’s a super deep 8-week masterclass where you get tons of recorded material on a different subject each week, and then you have a couple live sessions each week with the teachers where you can discuss the material and ask questions. You also get homework and a dedicated FB group where you can talk production stuff with the teachers and all other students who are taking the course at the same time as you are.

I’m mentioning it because I noticed what you said about “this kind of package would be worth paying for”. The masterclass is not cheap, and I definitely thought it many times over before I finally decided to take the plunge and sign up. But I don’t regret it one bit. I learned a ton, my production speed and quality improved ridiculously last year, and I met many awesome producers who I’ve become buddies with and I still talk to this day.

At the beginning of 2018 I was in the same spot that you are, watching tons of Youtube videos and trying to put it all together from these separate bread crumbs. I can’t speak for all other educational material out there, but I even took Armin and Deadmau5’ Masterclasses and found them to be underwhelming and pretty superficial. Motivating and fun to watch for sure, but they didn’t do much for my production process.

Anyway, like I said, I really had to think about it before I signed up for this one. I even took one of his smaller Start To Finish courses first just to see if he was legit. Now he has much more free material than he did back then, so it’s easier to see for yourself whether you like his teaching or not. I’ll share some of my fave free articles:
