Audible Genius offers its flagship online music education courses at half price during its Black Friday Sale.
The Audible Genius Black Friday sale started on November 21 and ends on December 5, 2024.
If you purchase before the sale ends, you can:
- Buy Syntorial 2 for £64.49 (usually £128.99)
- Buy Building Blocks for £22.49 (usually £44.99)
Current Syntorial V1 users can upgrade for £17.49 (usually £34.99).
The prices above are for lifetime licenses; a 50% discount is available for Building Blocks monthly subscriptions, but at £7.49 per month, it’s not the obvious choice.
Before I detail the courses a little, I want to add another reminder that many Black Friday sales will end fairly soon, and now is the time if you want to grab a bargain.
Check out the deals from Audiocube and Modalics, and don’t forget the free plugins from Waves and Air Music Tech.
Syntorial 2 simplifies the often confusing world of synth programming through interactive lessons and challenges.
As a synth newbie, it’s easier to see clusters of random knobs, buttons, and faders rather than clearly identifiable sections and parameters.
The typical reaction to synth programming leads to a common misconception that it’s some dark art understood by a select few, which, of course, it isn’t.
Syntorial 2 helps you develop transferable knowledge of synthesis fundamentals, which in turn allows you to identify parameter changes by ear. Once you can hear the changes, the world of sound design awaits.
It’s a fantastic tool for beginners and an ideal refresher for those who want to brush up on the basics.
Building Blocks offers an alternative approach to traditional music education. I love music theory, but there has always been a disconnect between conventional music education and application in music production and popular music.
I know many guitarists who can’t tell me the notes in a chord because they just learned the shape. I also know pianists who can sight-read like a machine but can’t play a dominant chord if it’s not on the page.
Too many doors are closed in music education, and while it’s not nearly as bad as it used to be, there’s still some way to go.
Building Blocks is an online course that helps open some of those closed doors. The material covers music theory, beat-making, composition, and ear training through gamified lessons.
Video game-style lessons are more engaging for many students, and that engaging approach typically leads to a deeper understanding of course material.
You’ll also use the information learned in practical, real-world scenarios in your DAW of choice.
Making music will never be without trial and error, but better understanding the fundamental elements of music is like turning the lights on rather than feeling around in the dark; you’ll get where you want to be faster.
Building Blocks includes 90 lessons, 81 challenges, and 30 hours of training. One of the main things a student gets from any course is structure, and for £22.49, it’s worth checking out!
