MAO Course - Learn modern music production techniques.

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
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

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?

Sample repair, noise reduction, spectral processing.

About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
True passionate of the sound, musician since more than fifteen years, my musical education began very early. After my training in solfeggio, saxophone and singing, I began studying musicology to deepen my knowledge of music. At the end of my studies, I trained in electronic music.
My tastes and inspirations are as much towards the classical as the experimental music, techno, hip hop, dubstep, edm, ... I was able to develop my knowledge in these registers by keeping an open mind. With an excellent ear, I can help you dissect your favorite songs, and provide you with the keys to become excellent musicians and gain independence in the field.

Raphaël
Music Production for composers, musicians, producers
