Lessons of MAO / Recording / Home Studio / Mixing by a sound engineer in his studio in Brussels

Do you want to discover the world of recording studios or improve your skills in music production?
We can do this together in my studio or at your place.

I consider that we learn best by doing and I therefore try as much as possible to put you in control and to make you use your ears.
I adapt to your needs as well as to your level. If you have a specific project, we will use it to structure the course.

I have been a sound engineer for 10 years with experience in its various fields of application but also in teaching this knowledge. I teach both future sound engineers and curious musicians, or audiovisual enthusiasts wanting to demystify the audio part.

An example of the topics covered:
- Pre-production (how to properly prepare your projects),
- Recording (techniques, necessary equipment, in the studio or elsewhere),
- Editing,
- Mixing,
- Restoration,
- Choosing microphones,
- Mixing console,
- Studio equipment and connectors,
- Pro Tools and session management in general,
- How to behave during the recording session and deal with your customers,
- Advice for your home studio,
- Effects,
- ...

Song Composition and Recording Workshop
Author Composer Interpreter, I offer Music Creation Workshops at my home or by Webcam. Come as you are, and leave with a recorded song. No prerequisite level, we start from scratch: - INTERACTIVE COMPOSITION: Your ideas are transformed into music, choice of instruments, percussion, moods, musical style (Rock, HipHop, Jazz, etc.) If you play an instrument, record it, otherwise I am at your service (guitar, piano, bass etc.) - WRITING HELP: If necessary, support in writing songs or slams, we take the time to work on the text either before or after the music. If you've never written, I have tools from my writing workshops available) -RECORDING You record the voice directly, in one go or end to end, harmonies, effects etc ... LEAVE WITH A RECORDING on USB key or in a file. If you play an instrument, that you already sing, that you have more advanced projects, I suggest a follow-up with a reflection on your musical identity. Possibility of making an EP for example etc. Home studio with professional hardware and LOGIC X software.

Jim
Electronic Music Production – Ableton Live, Synthesis, Sound Design, Composition, Mixing, Mastering, and Live Performance
Hi, my name is Jim. I'm an electronic music producer with a Master’s degree in Music from the Fontys Academy of Arts (Rockacademie) in Tilburg, Netherlands. Music has always been my way of exploring the world — through raw field recordings, synthesis, and emotional storytelling. Over the past 12 years, I’ve developed a complete, self-sufficient creative process: from concept to composition, sound design to vocal production, mixing, mastering, and live performance. I’m passionate about helping others gain those same end-to-end technical skills — so they can bring their own musical vision fully to life. As Malvae, I’ve written, sung, recorded, produced, mixed, mastered, and performed all of my work. My music reached #17 in the Spotify Viral 50 charts in the USA, gathered millions of streams, and featured in international film productions including King of the Streets and Netflix’s Terrace House Japan. One of the most formative moments in my career was my Amazonas album project, where I traveled into the Amazon rainforest to record and manipulate natural sounds. 90% of that album was created entirely from these field recordings, reshaped through granular synthesis and advanced sound design into a cohesive sonic journey. That experience deeply shaped how I approach my music and how I teach sound design and composition. I’ve headlined shows at iconic venues like Melkweg Amsterdam with immersive, self-built audiovisual live sets using Ableton Live, modular gear, sequencers, and Resolume for live integrated visuals. I curated my own events and performed at venues like A’dam Tower, OT301. I also teach at studios such as Wisseloord in Hilversum, guiding students through the technical and creative intersections of sound and performance. Selected Works & Collaborations: My EP Like Bees to a Hive began as a soundscape for fashion brand Lobomar’s collection Final Orders, Please, presented at the Amsterdam World Museum. I collaborated with South African poet Julia-Beth Harris, integrating her spoken word into a seamless, atmospheric release. From sequential Prophet 6 textures to ADX1 drum machine layers and detailed field recordings, I handled every layer, from concept through multitrack production to the final live performance in London. My Chrysalis EP, released as a limited-edition heavyweight red vinyl, pushed that even further, combining ethereal vocals, analog grit, and unique textures to craft an emotionally rich release. I personally led every part of the project’s technical and creative execution, from arrangement and vocal production to final mixing, mastering and vinyl press preparation. In addition to my own projects, I’ve worked as a vocal producer and mixing engineer, including on Esther Veen’s EP Before I Go, where I handled recording, complex vocal layering, creative processing, production, multivocal arrangement and final mixing to deliver a polished, high-impact sound. About the lessons: My sessions are fully customised to your experience level, goals and grounded in real-world music production. Whether you’re just getting started or want to deepen your technical ability, you’ll learn how to develop professional workflows and the creative independence to finish what you start. We can explore: - Building advanced music production workflows and creative strategies - Recording, Composition, arrangement, and storytelling through sound - Full-stack mixing and mastering — from bedroom setups to pro-level delivery - Synthesis and sampling — from sound shaping basics to high-level manipulation - Multi vocal production, vocal recording, editing, layering, FX, and creative processing techniques - Translating your music into a compelling live set with Ableton Live - Applying music theory practically in electronic, cinematic, and contemporary music Lessons are available online or in-person at my studio in Amsterdam. For online students, I use high-quality real-time tools that allow us to collaborate with full-resolution audio directly from your DAW — no screen sharing limitations, just real work in real time. My own musical path often started by blending the sounds I encountered in the world, whether from distant rainforests or my own voice , into something personal and expressive. I found my sound that way, and I’d love to help you find yours. (And don’t worry — we won’t have to go to the ends of the earth to do it. I’ll show you how to turn the sounds you already have into something truly your own.) Whether you're just starting out or ready to go deeper, I look forward to helping you grow through structured, creative, and technically grounded electronic music education.
