	Producing a Melodic Techno Track
	After having taken this class, you’ll have seen a complete production process first hand, starting from nothing and working through all the different important stages of the production process, from start to finish. The track is inspired by artists like Ame, Boris Brechja and of course, Francois Rengere.
