Composer, Kagetora.
"From basic song structure to mixing & mastering, learn the full pipeline in Coloso's first music production class"
Create tracks in the style of Arcaea, Cytus, and Sound Voltex.
If you’ve ever listened to an Arcaea, Cytus, or Sound Voltex track and thought “I wish I could make something like this,” this course is built for you.
You’ll watch a real rhythm‑game composer break down his process step by step, then follow along as you turn your own ideas into high‑energy, arcade‑style bangers from scratch, no OST credits or fancy studio needed.
By the end, you won’t just understand how these Hi-Tech Full on tracks are written. You’ll have a fully produced, chart‑ready song in a distinctly Japanese/doujin rhythm‑game style that you can drop into a portfolio or send to devs. If you’re serious about moving from “fan of rhythm games” to “composer whose tracks people grind for hours,” this is your shortcut.

Why Take This Class?
While rhythm games feature music from many genres, this class dives deep into one style that’s tailor‑made for them: Hi‑Tech Full On.
It’s a high‑impact, Japanese‑favored sound that has been showing up more and more in modern music games, but it’s also notoriously complex and time‑consuming to produce. In this course, I break that complexity down into a step‑by‑step process you can actually follow, so you can create Hi‑Tech Full On tracks from scratch and adapt the same methods to other genres as well.
You’ll also get a transparent look at the exact plugins, sound sources, and processing chains I use in my own released tracks.
I’ll walk you through how those signature sounds are built, which tools matter most, and how to recreate and customize them in your own projects. If you’ve ever heard my music in games and wondered “how is that even made?”, this class shows you every stage of the process.
