Course Description
- This is a comprehensive course using Ableton that covers every facet of my music-making process. In it you will learn:
- How I finish every track I start.
- My techniques for making music that is dynamic instead of static
- How I get from a blank screen to a sweet loop quickly
- My digging process and how it's completely connected to my music making process
- All of the technical and musical techniques I use
- My methods for success inside and outside the studio.
- First I will tell you a little bit about how I got from being an unsuccessful Beatport Tech House producer to where I am now. This section will include an introduction to some changes I made that I consider foundational and necessary for me to have made that jump.
- Then I will take you piece by piece through every element of my process - starting with my process outside Ableton, including how I dig and catalog my findings, and how you can apply that to production.
- After that, we'll open up Ableton and over the course of 2.5 hours I will take you piece by piece through my different processes - drum groove and processing, how I work with samples and synths, and my principles for arrangement.
- After that, we'll take everything we've learned and build up a track from my upcoming album from a blank screen to completion, in just under 2 hours. We'll learn further skills during the process of course, including things that we previously hadn't covered, like how to do your own mixdowns without hiring outside help.
- Finally, we'll wrap up the course with a section on my tips for success and productivity inside and outside the studio.
