What You Will Learn?

  • Hello!.
  • In this course, you are going to learn how to make beats in Reaper. Reaper is not only a affordable Digital Audio Workstation, but it can also be used for free without any restrictions. Can you imagine having a professional and powerful DAW at your hands without having to spend anything? Now you can not only imagine, but you also have a course to guide you inside the software..
  • We will start by creating a template to have a better workflow and mimic some features from FL Studio. After that, we will dive into the world of melodies and I will teach you how to layer different instruments to achieve a pro level sound. This is not a music theory course, but I will show you practical and useful tips to create melodies, harmonies, countermelodies and other elements without any music theory requirements..
  • Then, I will show you how to create a professional beat on top of the melody we developed during the course..
  • Finally, you will learn how to arrange your beats to keep the interest of the listener across the entire track..
