- Additional Content:.
- How to correctly hunt for labels and send your demos.
- Various PDFs and links to additional reading/study.
- 3 intensive projects so I can see how well you understand the material, and give you feedback to improve your productions.
- I share everything I know with you.
- Everything I teach you in this course has taken me years to learn. You're gaining 10+ years of music production knowledge in one complete course..
- The music industry is an extremely closed and competitive one. I don't think that's fair. If more producers were aware of the production secrets behind professional tracks, we'd have a lot more talented musicians in the EDM community!.
- What's in it for me?.
- Personally, I dislike the competitive community that music producers find themselves in. I want to share my knowledge with other producers so that they may grow, learn, and teach me new techniques as well. I also have a passion for teaching, and whenever I see a student succeed with something, it gives me a great feeling - like an addiction!.
- Requirements:.
- You will need to have a DAW (FL Studio, Ableton, GarageBand) and an ability to use the software to practice the techniques I teach you..
- You will also need to have a very basic understanding of music theory. Throughout the course, we are tuning our samples and composing chord patterns, which involves knowing the difference between major and minor, and also how notes relate to each other on the scale. For example, 'G' is the 5th note of the 'C' chord. .
- So if you're ready to learn professional electronic music production, theory, composition, mixing, and mastering, take this class and bring your skills to the next level..
