Re: Thoughts on 'Techno' courses?

Techno is a genre of experimentation. To the people considering purchasing lessons, why not save some money, turn on your synths and drum machines, take advantage of the modern day routing and resampling options and come up with some happy experiments. Surprise your fellow producers, show some love ...
