Live-Stream Description

Source Code is a special series we offer at Warp Academy where a veteran producer is brought in to reveal all the production secrets used to make one of their popular songs.  This episode is with Vespers where he’ll peel back the layers and walk you through his highly acclaimed bass-music rework of Ain’t No Sunshine.  

By unlocking the project file (the “source code”) and exploring the full depth of the tune, you’ll learn invaluable aspects of sound design, composition, workflow, mixing, and mastering.  You also get to download and keep the real project file so absolutely nothing is held back! 

Source Code is all about real world, practical knowledge and reverse engineering commercially released productions.  No theory here, just straight up, legit tips that actually work.

About Your Instructor

Hi!  I’m Vespers.  My passion is helping make the complex topic of electronic music production accessible and engaging to all those who want to express their creativity through sound. My journey started with a Youtube channel where I shared free tips and tricks as video tutorials. The channel blew up and has continued to build momentum.
Building upon this early success on Youtube, I became an Ableton Certified Trainer and started making full fledged courses and production tools. That was great and all, but I wanted to amp things up so the next step was to build a collective of other all-star teachers and take things to the next level.

Assembling a team of other Ableton Certified Trainers and industry experts, I co-founded Warp Academy, one of only a few Ableton Certified Training Centers worldwide. With the help of our students and trainers, Warp Academy has risen to become one of the world’s most cutting-edge schools for electronic music production, offering online courses on topics like sound design, songwriting, remixing, performing, mixing and mastering, and beyond. I’m very proud of what we’ve created here and what our students have accomplished.

As an educator, I’ve collaborated to offer music production workshops music festivals and conferences. I’ve also had the pleasure of forging epic partnerships with industry heavyweights such as Universal Audio, Apogee, iZotope, FabFilter, XFer Serum, Sonarworks, Tannoy, and Dynaudio to review and make tutorials on their products as well as bring educational discounts to Warp students.

As a producer, I’ve released music on Adapted Records, Westwood Recordings, and Pop & Lock Records. Aside from running Warp Academy, I also work as a professional sound designer, producer for hire, ghost writer, mixing and mastering engineer.
