I’m instructing various online courses for music production at Production Music Live‘s Online Music Production Academy.
All classes are recorded and available online, so it’s as if we are sitting side by side and the studio and you can watch them at your own speed, as many times as you want!
The general idea of my courses is: Working as much as possible “in the box”, only using Ableton Live and a maximum of one more external VST synth. This way it’s much easier for students to follow along, even if they only have a simple setup.
Step-by-step music production lessons, learn the complete process!
