@bosanac
I use Nuendo 3 for producing, Superior Drummer 2.0 for drums and Trilogy for bass.
Nuendo is Steinberg product
Superiour is Toontrack product
Trilogy is Spectrasonics product
There are many online shops that sell them.

Well done Ivan all round... lesson, video and audio is great!
at lights end26th November 2008cool lesson, sounds just like the offspring.
it might just be my computer but i think the video lags behind the audio a bit.
Canis26th November 2008Awesome! You nailed it 
Ivan Milenkovic27th November 2008Thanks again guys 
one question: does anybody else except at lights end gets audio sync issues with the main video? If you experience those issues I will fix it right away.
AlexLion27th November 2008
you rock! that was fantastic! Going to learn this right now
AlexLion27th November 2008Video and audio quality is fine, didn`t noticed your question..
Toni Suominen27th November 2008Great riffing Ivan!
berko27th November 2008Rocking lesson, Ivan! This punk style was definitely worth it after the blues!
On your question: the audio track does start a little bit earlier... so it's a bit out of sync for me.
Ivan Milenkovic27th November 2008Hmm, thanks for the input guys, I will see what I can do!
Nighthawk128th November 2008...and thanks you didn't make an "in style of offspring's last 2 albums" lesson If you know what I mean...
Ivan Milenkovic29th November 2008Yes I know what you mean, Smash and Ixnay were the best IMO, as some songs from Americana are as well, but the rest is just not-as-good to say at least
Dennizzz11912th March 2010Lovely! Just bought subscription and found immediately a lesson about my favorite band
Marvelous!
Ivan Milenkovic12th March 2010That's great man, welcome aboard btw! If you have any questions regarding this lesson, any other, or anything in general, just let me know! Cheers
norules14th November 2011excellent lesson! i'm struggling a bit with the down up muted "chugging." i'm finding it hard to do it consistentatly on the upstroke. i think it might be to do with my pick angle or maybe just not digging in hard enough? any tips? or are there any lessons which break it down a bit more? thanks ivan
Ivan Milenkovic16th November 2011Answered through PM!
Hey guys, welcome to my new lesson, this time we are doing Offspring style power chord riffs. :)
As you all know, Offspring made a major breakthrough in Californian Punk scene with a couple of their very successful albums. Among those albums one is loaded with energy and great songs and that is "Smash". This lesson is inspired by that album.
Fast and catchy riffs, melodic power chord progressions, and lots of palm muting in between, characteristic to punk. Enjoy. :)
