Learn MUSIC PRODUCTION in a professional studio: Including composition, arrangement, performance, recording, mixing and mastering.
From 51.8 £ /h
The basic course takes you through all the elements you need to professionally write and produce music; with specialties ranging from record production to writing for media i.e. T.V and film.
Learn all the pitfalls and save yourself years of pain! :)
Skills I take you through are:
1. Music finishing; e.g. lyrics, arrangements, programming drums and synth parts.
2. Performance and recording techniques - setting up microphones, and hands on exploring the different types and 'colours' they record.
How to record real synths and find the correct sounds for your music.
Re-amping guitars and anything else to give your music more life!
3. Mixing; Using Pro Tools HD, Logic and Ableton, an SSL mixer with lots of classic 'outboard' equipment as well as the latest plugins on board the computer.
4. Mastering; The final stage of releasing music is making it sounds amazing on all systems.
A course is tailor-made to suit the desire of the student - from recording and releasing your own music, to film audio post-production and sound design and everything else in-between.
I have more than 30 years in the music industry, previously working at BBC Radio 1/1xtra station, and also at Jools Holland's Helicon Mountain studios in West London.
I am eager to share what I have learnt over the years in a really friendly environment - it's perfect to take home all the knowledge you need to write from anywhere in the coming years.
