I have a few friends who were into it. General consensus was that it was kind of interesting, but often the presenters just talk to much without actually teaching you anything. Most felt it wasn't worth the price, but I admit I haven't seen any myself.
I took Armin Van Buuren’s master class and it was a perfect match for my interests. It is reviewed in YouTube videos as a better class than deadmau5’s because Armin’s class was produced at a later time and they nailed it. I bought just this one course with lifetime access and did not subscribe - it was worth it. They also have an app where you can download courses for offline watching when you are away from WiFi, driving, flying... (like Udemy app).
I was surprised all through the class that I use most of his techniques already like duplicating tracks to reduce work, etc (he is just like me in so many ways). He goes through composition on Logic along with is friend and later into DJ stuff, equipment, live performance and more.
It would have been a disaster had I took deadmau5’s class as that is not my preferred style of music. Not sure about other courses like Hans Zimmerman’s.
They’re available by nefarious means. I have to say the Deadmau5 commercials on YouTube makes it seem not even worth a pirate download. Those were the highlights?
I’m a sucker for tutorials, but I always learn more by doing. Lately, I just google very specific questions, get quick answers, and turn back to creating.
I’ve watched a few of the more writing / literary ones and they’re interesting, more pep talk and general advice than the kind of nuts and bolts you get from a proper writing course. Not sure they’re going to change anyones career paths but they’re good for insight and morale I think...
I like how this Redditor made "Cliff's Notes" on Aaron Sorkin's screenwriting masterclass.
Appreciate that!
LOL
THANKS!
I agree with @Max23 and @Krupa. I watched a few of these during the time I had my subscription and they were all interesting but not that edifying. Anecdotes and pep talks. Getting a year's premium youtube sub and watching the tons of excellent and truly educational stuff would be money far far better spent if you actually want to learn any techniques in any of the fields covered. Not saying they are not enjoyable, they are, just too light on real teaching how.
I've taken a few. Had a friend who got the year access and I profited from it, haha.
I enjoyed the Arvin van Buuren session the most as he takes you from a producer perspective to a live DJ session, while doing a teardown of the technique he used on his song.
Timbaland masterclass was good. I learnt more about the 8 bar production and stacking layers of ideas with his videos. Importance of sidechain, and understanding that not every loop you make needs to be in a song.
Deadmau5 was okay. Was a decent introduction to teach some of the basics of music production, especially as a beginner. It was a point of reflection where music production isn't really a defined route. Each producer does things in their own way, although I could see a pattern.
Christina Aguilera had some good vocal tips, although it may have been overshadowed by the stardom.
I was looking into Tom Morello and Herbie Hancock but didnt get the chance to start them. Ah well...
Edit: What I'll say is that the videos are produced really well. And it adds a bit of personal touch watching them break down their work into bits. If you're approaching it as a way to gain a ton of skills to make it mainstream, you'd be disappointed. But if you see it as a look into their workflow, then you'll get some value out of it.
I subscribed for a year of Master Class. I enjoyed watching these famous people share their insights, but I didn't get much out of it that I didn't already know. 🤷♂️
Thanks for the feedback!
hmmm......
good. It was also my conclusion after watching Timbaland videos - Talking about his workflow and feeling behind it - good for inspiration, but definitely no hard knowledge there
Typical master classes (not from the site, I mean in life as whole) are generally a way to familiarize yourself with how THAT person does what she does. Some just float. Others dive deep. It took me some time to realize that (I had a shitload of master classes in arts and design).
So always take them with a grain of salt...
That being said, I've been more tempted with some of Sonic Academy's courses than the ones in MasterClass
Just out of curiosity... you mean for layering, having something from one track as a backbone in another or a whole other thing?
