      Kick Builder Pack

      I picked up the Unholy Hard Techno Kick Builder for a cross genre track I have been working on. The pack had everything I needed and sounded great out the box. Only thing I would recommend in the future is adding the transient's key to the title of the stem in the future as I did have to go into an EQ to find the key before I could tune it to where I needed. Overall, would recommend.

      FAQ

      How Do I Watch The Master Class?

      The Master Class can be accessed via our website. Upon purchase, you'll be prompted to create an account, enabling you to log in, watch the class, and access your downloadable content.

      Do I Need To Be An Ableton User To Learn From The Master Class?

      The short answer is no! All of the techniques I use in this Master Class are applicable to every DAW.

      How Do I Download My Files?

      You have two options for accessing your download files. Upon purchase, you'll either be directed to a screen for immediate download, or you can log in to the master class. Once logged in, navigate to the first module where you'll find a lesson titled "Download Your Files." Simply click there to download the Samples & Project File.

      What Version Of Ableton Do I Need To Open The Project File?

      The Apollo Master Class Project file is designed to be compatible with Ableton Live Suite 11.3.10 and newer versions. However, if you're using Ableton Live Standard or Intro, we can't ensure full functionality of all components within the project.

      What 3rd Party Plugins Do I Need?

      Besides Xfer Serum, you won't require any additional third-party plugins. While I personally utilize other third-party plugins for mastering, they're not essential, and you can readily use the equivalent tools provided by your DAW.

      Is The Afterlife Bundle Included In This Master Class?

      No, the Afterlife Techno Essentials Bundle isn't part of the package. However, I've included a compact sample pack featuring some of its samples and presets. I strongly advise considering purchasing the Afterlife Techno Essentials Bundle, as it's the primary tool we're utilizing to compose this track.
