Do you want to get insanely fast with Ableton Live and learn tons of the power features?

Do you want to be writing better music faster? Audio Weapons is Vespers’ flagship course where he takes you through his personal track writing process, showing you all the pro-tips along the way.

Hundreds of students have now taken and attested to the huge gains possible in a very short time with this program. Vespers is known for teaching all the secrets and holding nothing back. True to this reputation, he’ll be including tons of his custom Racks, samples, presets, and templates.

The concept of Audio Weapons is to give you real world, practical training in sound design, synthesis, and music production by taking you inside the studio with Vespers while he writes a track from start to finish. You learn how to set up an advanced production template so that when you’re inspired, you can hit the ground running.

Vespers shows you how to decode the arrangements and song structure of songs you like, and to learn from them and apply their sequencing secrets in your tunes. There are also huge modules on bass sound design and building deadly drum kits, as well as advanced MIDI programming techniques to get your stuff sounding pro.

Over 9 hours of in-depth, HD video instruction.

Includes Vespers’ most advanced and action-packed Ableton production template that he personally uses to write tracks:

We guarantee you’ll walk away from this course knowing how to:

Make huge bass sounds that DOMINATE the perfect frequency ranges to drive the low end of your track.
Design phat and punchy drums and program them with special MIDI ninja tricks.

” Vespers just “has it.” He knows the issues that will trip you up and has ready, easy-to-understand answers for those very questions. There were many little things that gave me “Eureka!” moments, but probably the single most valuable thing I learned is to see the track begin and end – to see the entire process from start to finish was invaluable. Highly recommended. I will sign up for any intermediate or advanced seminars Vespers chooses to give.
