Beatmaking - Music Production - Ableton Live - MAO

From 59.99 C$ /h

Do you have ideas in your head but you still haven't taken the plunge? Whether you are a novice or an experienced musician, I suggest you dive into production with a tailor-made course on Ableton Live software.

I have been a passionate musician and producer for over 10 years (trained guitarist), and I am here to help you discover and master all the subtleties of Ableton.

Who should attend :

- You are a beginner and you want to discover the interface while composing your first song.
- You are an intermediate or experienced user and would like to perfect your skills and learn more advanced techniques.

What you can expect:

For beginners :
> Discovery of the Ableton Live interface while creating your first composition
> Practical approach without theoretical overload
> Optimization of the course according to your objective and your musical desires
> Provision of resources (packs, templates, presets, etc.)

For Intermediate and Advanced Users:
> In-depth analysis of your compositions with personalized feedback
> Fixed weaknesses and improved existing songs
> Exploring new production techniques, sharing tips, shortcuts and templates
> Section on sampling, sound design and mixing

Examples of topics covered:

- Interface: you will learn how to navigate between Audio and MIDI, use the right tools/plugins, create templates and use essential shortcuts.
- Recording: I will explain to you how I go about properly recording voices or instruments while optimizing the acoustics of your room.
- Composition: learning to use virtual instruments, introduction to sound design and exploration of creative composition techniques (no music theory necessary).
- Arrangement: effectively structure a piece like the pros to avoid redundancy.
- Mixing: control of effects, integration of external plugins, mixing techniques.

Adaptability: depending on your progress, your motivations and your musical preferences, I continually adjust the course to target the specific aspects that you wish to explore or strengthen.

If you're interested, send me a message and I'll answer all your questions :)

This course is intended for those who wish to start their own productions in computer music (Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Music Maker, GarageBand, Reaper ...), and who do not know where to start, or those who are looking for new techniques of production or would like to improve their sound.
Graduated in musicology, composer, beatmaker, lyric singer and multi-instrumentalist, my approach encompasses many aspects that are rooted in the diversity of my musical experiences. I worked as a singer on classical and variety projects (Midi Minimes, Festival van Vlaanderen, Ensemble Astoria, Josh Groban) and as a producer and composer on contemporary dance shows (Kaaistudio, STUK, CC Berchem, M-Museum Leuven) . I also participated in a series of multichannel projects (Mixage Fou, 3DSound MONOM, Berlin, BACAtelier Leuven). I'm also currently collaborating on pop, variety, synthwave, trip-pop, world bass projects. I was also able to work on sound to image projects (Video, Performance, VJ / Mapping).

Here is what I propose

Introduction to sound theory (physical and digital bases)
initiation into music theory and music theory,
The stages of music production from idea to Mastering.
How to create your home studio? What material? Where to start?
Start with my sequencer
User interface - Libraries - Backup - Export - Display ...
Start a composition (Audio, Samplig, Clip, Midi, Transport)
Arrangements, instrumentation (how to switch from a piano / voice demo to a pop production, for example).
improvisation, jams with loopers, ableton live, and controllers (midi instruments, drum sequencers, iPad, Ableton Push), effects and macros.
Vocal processing: taking, microphones, performance and interpretation, how to improve sound quality, comping, effects, backings.
Mixing: Balance, Panorama, critical listening, eq (minimum phase, linear phase, dynamics), dynamic processing (compressors, multiband, side-chain), Bus, Send / Return, parallel processing, volume riding, automation.
Mixing and arrangement, register, harmonics.
effects and plugins (filters, delay, echo, chorus, flanger, phaser, bitcrusher, saturation, stepper, ...).
Broadcasting platforms: aggregators, streaming, bandcamp, SoundCloud ... which one to choose?

Sample repair, noise reduction, spectral processing.
Formats:
Stereo, Mono, Mid-Side, Surround, Formats B, Ambisonic, Binaural, (decoders, plugins, mixing)

Are you passionate about music?
Are you an accomplished musician or DJ and want to increase your production possibilities?
Or are you just new and creative and don't know where to start?
Are you stuck and often having trouble finalizing a song?
Do you want a clear and structured follow-up without stuffing yourself with daunting manuals, confused youtube tutorials or overpriced training?

If you recognize yourself in these questions, I suggest you accompany you in the vast world of audio-digital and music production in home studio.
Because yes, nowadays, you can do everything from home, from the idea of a song to its distribution on streaming platforms.
But on the other hand, despite the increasingly efficient hardware and software innovations, it is very difficult to find your way around, especially when you are just starting out.
I know, I've been there too.

Typical course and examples of courses:

Each student has different expectations and desires.
The advantage of private lessons is that I can adapt to your profile, whatever your starting level or your age.
In general, the first free course will allow you to get to know each other better and identify precisely your objective and your blockages.
I can then better respond and identify the key steps to achieve.

The theory is good but the practice is a thousand times more important.
We quickly set foot in the stirrup.
You are in front of the machine ready to do battle, and I stay by your side to guide you.

The courses then take place according to various learning axes determined together according to your profile:

- Discussion on the best material for your project, according to your personal objectives and your budget: Hardware, DAW, plugins...
- Familiarize yourself with DAW (“Digital Audio Workstation”): I work mainly on Ableton Live or Protools.
I can possibly teach you the basics (synthesis, composition, audio processing, signal flow) on Logic Pro.
Because it is important to familiarize yourself with the tool as best as possible and not to lose motivation in the face of what can look like a "gas factory" all in all quite intimidating for a novice in the matter.
This revolves around the following themes:
- Quick handling of any virtual instrument (VST Synth, sampler)
- How to record: your voice, external sounds, any other instrument (choice of microphone and placements, stereo, what to consider, mistakes to avoid ...)
- Compose a first song quickly
- Musical composition (tone, rhythm, melody and chord construction)
- Audio processing adapted to sound design or mixing (EQ, Compression, Reverb, Distortion, Sidechain, layering, automations...)
- Post-production (Mixing & Mastering): depending on your level,
Introduction to these trades:
What sets it apart from production?
Awareness of studio acoustics
Know how to read and interpret a waveform and frequency spectrum
Learn critical listening
More advanced course: work methodology, level management, Loudness, Mid / side, referencing

The benefits of medium-term support:

- obtaining commercially viable professional quality music, whatever your initial background and musical style
- greater clarity and autonomy in your future choices: you will be able to ask yourself the right questions
- an organization in all circumstances to remain productive and without inspiration breakdown
- and, overall, a progression in your artistic journey.

MY MUSICAL PAST:

After many trips abroad, training in jazz piano (Antwerp) and in "electronic music production" at the SAE (Brussels), I released my first EP in November 2017 entitled "Into The Star" which then allowed me to play on several Belgian stages including the Botanique last March. At the moment, I devote myself full time to my “artistic ambition”.
My projects are mainly: check MEWHY (Spotify / YouTube / ....)

METHODOLOGY:

The objective of the training is that you are able to RELEASE A PROJECT ALONE (composition - arrangement - mix - mastering - diffusion)

My method is characterized by a journey between two poles: objectivity and subjectivity.
Objectivity: Giving through the sharing of my in-depth knowledge of the subject as well as an interesting perspective, allowing me to see the music industry as a whole.
Subjectivity: Giving through the sharing of my artistic experiences and views on music and the elements that produce it.

The desire to have students for several weeks allows me to know enough about them to advise them best in the paths they undertake.

The courses will therefore be a balanced mix between:
- Training in digital music / by computer (MAO / ...)
- Training in acoustic music / by instruments (piano, guitar, voice, ...)

Have you always wanted to have control over all of your production?
Do you have ideas in your head that you can't manage to materialize?

Come!!!!
