      @@dema4669 I use a combination of Underdog Music School, You Suck at Producing, and Seed to Stage. Have their paid stuff and about to get private lessons from Tim at ‘You Suck’. All three are a treasure trove of fantastic content, and have helped speed up my music production output. It’s a pity Oscar no longer does Bootcamps as I’d have definitely joined one, despite the large time difference (I’m in Shanghai). Did you sign up for techno course? If so let me know what you think of it. The Foundations course was cool, and I’d snap up a more intermediate / advanced course for sure.

    I might try this today to add to my new acid house track. Even if it turns out shitty, which I'm sure it won't, it'll be a value learning experience especially working with LFO's which I haven't done much of. Then I might deep dive into Europa. Any chance of an in-depth tutorial into Europa, Oscar? Great tutorial once again!

    Hey Osc(aaaaaaar)!
    You advised me last year to make use of the 90day free trial of Ableton (which I did). I never fully made the jump, as I'd just recently paid out £500 for Cubase 11 Pro. Well, I'm going to be making that jump now. The 'dongle' which Cubase 11 was reliant on BROKE, and Steinberg are refusing to replace my license, despite it being registered. All they offered me was 25hours of 'zero downtime' until they gave me the bad news. Its an insult. For Ableton to give you 90 days DONGLE free use of Live 11SUITE, and for Steinberg to give 25 hours to a paid up customer is, in my mind, disgusting. Anyway, thank s for the info back then, as it made it easy for me to turn away from Steinberg. Keep up the good work, and congratulations on the growing success of underdog on UA-cam.

    • @OscarUnderdog
