Has anyone seen it? I've been trying to find it for a while,
but my town decided to stop selling any production related magazines so I have to drive about half an hour to grab it.

So is it actually worthwhile? Sometimes futuremusic/computermusic masterclasses can be useless.

if it's anything like the KM one i'd be keen on watching it

It was ok, nothing special.

do you not have a postal service where you live?

I think i'm gonna get it.

It will make you bash your head but it might be worth it.

1. He's got a shit load, like easily $10-20k worth of hardware.
2. He uses pretty much strictly presets it seemed like. That right there made me approach music totally differently, cause I don't really make brostep. And there's no reason to agonize over synthesis often when you've got a writing itch.
3. He couldn't explain what reverb was. Although neither could I till recently and he may just being funny.

I watched it cause he's a boss, but I don't know if I'd actually like him in person a whole lot.

Purchased the digital version through Zinio only to find out that they don't include the "in the studio with" video on it.

Bullshit.

Well it certainly looks much better than their old ones. The camera is actually... on a tripod.

This guy is amazing...he makes tunes like this one.

Same!

They usually add them to their official youtube channel soon after the magazine has been off newstands.

It wasn't really that helpful.

fucking love joker

i remember the Benga one from a few years ago - useless!

Even the KM one that ppl rave about was useless.
The best masterclass has to be Reso if I remember correctly.

I think useless is a bit strong, the tips they gave about recording snare drums from bits of wood breaking weren't bad.

But what do people expect from these 'masterclasses'? Do they want the pros to write a melody for them, or show them how to exactly place the notes to get a sound? Of course, anything like that would be retroactive information at best.

All the masterclasses show is an insight into a workflow...nothing more. Whether the workflow is pertinent or even relevant is entirely another matter.

All he was doing was programming patches and showing how he interplays between those patches...again, an insight into a workflow, the only difference being was that it was a workflow demonstrating a style that people were receptive to.
