The Complete Fractal Audio Master Class Series with Cooper Carter

[kschreifels]

I am currently doing the FM9 course and it’s well worth the money to get you up and going quickly.

Cooper,

Thank you for the abundant knowledge you've provided regards getting to know one's FM9 and associated peripherals. TBH, it took me quite a while to apply and absorb as much of the material as possible, but the focus of this course is that it is available at any time for review in case some significant point were missed, or just being able to review the course as a reference in the future.

Your course was entirely engaging and encouraged the viewer to stick with the course through to completion. The value of this course is equally matched by the amount of material covered, and for the time and effort it took for you to put together this masterclass, we're thankful.

Couldn't agree more. His course took the mystery out of the way the logic is set up in the unit, for new Fractal users (2019 for me) who are used to Apple/Samsung/Windows style UI's and architecture. Jumping into pro-audio, from consumer audio can be overwhelming.

I'm terrible for ending up buying presents etc. stupid question but going through the masterclass, would it essentially teach me enough to not have to bother with others presents? Except irs of course.

If I understood correctly there are presets built buy him in the axe 3 course which you can then download. Is that so and what kinds of sounds are that?
Really considering buying the course and would like to know.

Personally, i think the course is great, a super excellent overview of the concepts and capabilities of Fractal devices, but i wouldn't get it for the presets. There's similar stuff in the factory presets, more up to date too. But the ideas, the tools, the ways of thinking about creating your own presets, that stuff is invaluable.

Well, it’s not really for the presets only, although it is a nice bonus. If for example he builds a country preset, that is something I’d like to learn. So it is also a question like: what do you learn to programme specifically and purposely for a specific sound.

You would need to update the presets.
Last update was 11-2023 v3.0. Covered up to AXE-III fw 21.00 (New “Cygnus X-2” amp modeling).

It's a great course if you're new to Fractal. It isn't going to deep dive you into the engineering knowledge behind the product and every single parameter you can tweak, that some of the experts here appear to have. It will get you in the ballpark for tone building and navigating the ecosystem.

It’ll teach you enough to build a good preset by yourself, if your ears know what you want to hear.

Will it prevent you from buying more presets? There are way too any parts to that puzzle for anyone but you to answer.

Cooper has done a great job creating the lessons, which also work for reference purposes when you want to brush up on something. But don’t neglect the manuals and various videos by Cooper, Leon Todd, and others that are available on YouTube.

And the factory presets are designed to help you get up and running quickly. Turn up to stage volume to audition them because they’re designed for live use. As you progress you can copy the presets and begin modifying them, and reusing blocks in your own presets, or dig into them to learn how the sounds are created.
