Course reviews

Great explanation of the rack system and some of the cool things you can do with it. Very interesting what I can now do with only a 25 key midi keyboard and some macro commands.

This is the third class I’ve taken with Dr Allen. He has a visual style of teaching which allows me to see what he’s teaching and to hear sample sounds as he is designing them. He is very knowledgeable with synthesis, sampling, and sound design with Ableton Live.
