Hello All !

My name is Mario. I am a pianist, composer, producer based in Bruxelles .
I have a long experience as a Jazz pianist, keyboardist and arranger and I played in a lot of different bands . In the last ten years I spent a lot of time producing electronic music and I developed my solo and other projects as a mix of jazz, electronic and neoclassical music.
I have a master degree in Live Electronics took a the Antwerp Conservatory.
I decided to create this course where we can explore together the basics of music production using Ableton Live suite as a reference software.

Who is this course for ?

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

Course topics :

1 Overview of the software , session and arrangement view
2 Differences between audio tracks, MIDI tracks, auxiliary tracks, and the master track
3 Sound design with most important Ableton Instruments
4 Study on the main sound synthesis techniques
5 Audio and Midi recording and editing
6 Routing Audio
7 Understanding and using audio and midi effects
8 Introduction to Mixing : balancing levels, panning, equalization
9 Preparing Ableton for a Live set using session views and clips
10 Export and finalizing a song

Extra information

It could better if you have at least a laptop with a version of Ableton Live Installed, but for to start we can also work with mine and if you then get appassionate about the course you can think to buy a version lite or complete of the software.

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 ...

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 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?

In these courses, I propose to share with you my experience and my knowledge to give you accelerated, targeted and individualized training.

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!!!!

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 :)

I am self-taught regarding the Ableton software but I have been using it for 8 years now and know it perfectly

I adapt to each desire, each request and of course at each level!

Computer music basics: Ableton + (if necessary) Adobe audition + Audacity
Content of the Ableton course: use sound bank and effects incorporated into the program, add your own sounds, audio tracks and Midi tracks, transform audio track into Midi track (and vice versa), some interesting effects (on sound, on 1 track or on all tracks) with parameter settings, record with Ableton, make loops, work in Session view and Arrangements view, split sounds, mix, export, automate your work for live performance, etc.

I teach everything related to electronic music, both theoretically and practically: DJing, digital and analog production, audio recording, mixing, compositing, etc.
My classes are tailored to each individual's needs and expectations. In addition to video lessons, I can also host classes directly in my studio to practice directly on my equipment (mixing desk, vinyl turntables, synthesizer, modular, drum machine, effects machine, piano, etc.). For those who live in Brussels,
I can also come to your home if you prefer.

I’m a sound engineer, music producer, and DJ with a degree from Point Blank Music School (London) and more hours logged at Le Zéro Studio in Brussels than I care to admit. I’ve produced, mixed, and mastered across genres — from rap to electronic to “what the hell is this but it slaps.”
I'm also working on my solo project, if you want to check the proof in the pudding ("imyraj" on all platforms).

Classes will cover the following:

- Music production on Ableton Live 10, 11 & 12 or lite, if you are a beginner.
We can go all the way from the basics of the DAW to music theory, creative sound design, sound engineering, mixing, and mastering, depending on your level.

- DJing
Dj classes will cover everything from preparing your tracks, beat-matching, creative FX, sampling, and understanding what makes a set flow. All genres are welcome, we can practice on your favourite genre!
Software used: Rekordbox or Serato DJ

DJing will be taught on the brand new Pioneer Alpha Theta GRV-6.

I'm a certified sound engineer and I have prepared a course for beginners and early intermediates, who want to dive into the world of music production.

I got my bachelor's degree in Music Technology and Acoustics at the Hellenic Mediterranean University. I squeezed out the most useful and meaningful knowledge of a four year curriculum into a 3 month course to help young people save precious time.

Instead of roaming through reels and videos online, join my course and earn a solid foundation in recording techniques, editing, mixing, production techniques, MIDI theory, acoustics theory and the basics of mastering. By the end of the course, you'll be confident enough to produce your first single or EP.
