Never felt inclined to look into them myself, I’ve heard they can be quite hit or miss.
That said, I’ve heard Giuseppe Ottoviani’s is supposed to be really good, but everyone I know who has done it all sound the same.
So if you want to become one of GO’s clones and make music that sounds the same as everything that comes out on his label, then maybe that would be a good place to start

Airwave Masterclass: the keys to a modern track - 3hrs - EN - 49€ Zoom conference
Let me introduce myself, Airwave, musician and sound designer since 1996, I've worked with some of the biggest names in EDM, composed music for several movies for which I've won awards, trailers, and commercials, and at the same time developed factory presets for many commercial hardware and software synths, notably for Korg and Plugin Alliance.
I'm lucky enough to wear many hats that allow me to quickly find a solution to every situation in the audio creative world. And... I've also been a teacher in MAO and Sound Design for many years in my hometown, even going through the... teacher's block (and I can tell you how good an exercise this audience is!).
My strong point is to always manage to do well with very little, and this is what I invite you to discover in this new Masterclass.
The 3 chapters covered during these 180 minutes are very important to me. Together they represent the art of producing with the necessary basics that allow you to always succeed in your production, whatever the genre.
The Masterclass will alternate between Logic and Ableton Live in order to cover as many people and situations as possible.
Preamble: the right tools, a good headset (MDR-7506 or DT770 80Ohm), the plugin to have apart from your built-in plugins: Shaperbox 3.
The 3 chapters will be interspersed with a question and answer session directly related to the chapter discussed.
Chapter 1 (approx 60 minutes): setting up a template already pre-assembled at the opening of a project: what for? Things to do to start. Creating a template in Logic and Ableton Live. Set up the routing in busses or subgroups, send and return for each bus, saturation and compression, in which order? Equalize where in the mix? The importance of mono compatibility. How to cut the sound for perfect mono compatibility? Sending and returning effects. Setting up the reference track in a DAW. Measurement tools: oscilloscope, spectrum, goniometer). Ozone Imager Free, a useful tool!
Chapter 2 (about 60 minutes): building a production around a kick and a bass well placed and well mixed together for a great beat. The golden rules to respect. The art of saturation in transparency for more clarity. Multiband saturation yes, but for what purpose? The art of listening to the reference. The cut&boost technique (Channel EQ, TubeEQ). The 200 to 600hz dung. The golden rule of kick and bass tuning and their timing (Shaperbox 3). The golden trick to catch a weak or too soft kick (Logic Pro X Autofilter, ConsoleEQ, and Shaperbox 3). The side chain technique for low frequencies (Logic Pro PhatFX and StepFX, Live Multiband, Shaperbox 3). Other instrument families and how to place them in a mix. Cutting to avoid clashes. Mixing vocals in a track.
Chapter 3 (60 minutes): my production tips and tricks for unique effects in a track. The RingVerbLifter. Paulshaping vocals (PaulXstretch, Shaperbox). Reconstructing a Shimmer effect in Ableton Live for nothing. Steal a kick from an existing track with Shaperbox 3 or Ableton Live. The echo resampling technique. The climax cut: how to cut a clean climax for more impact.
