Hardware Course

Combining Machines

Learn to combine machines in the studio and out live

With the wide range of inspiring and innovative gear available today, it can be hard to know where to start and machines will work well together. In this course, you learn to reach new sonic possibilities by combining the power of two or more machines.

We will start by guiding you through the minefield of possibilities and help you choose the equipment that is right for you and your sound. Once that is done all there is left to do is make music.
