From connection to production through and configuration and until the final result is obtained on social networks or music platforms, you will learn all the intermediate steps to spread your creativity in the connected world.

With specific expertise on Apple Logic Proc X and Ableton Live, the same principles are valid on any DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) as well as on the configuration that is specific to you.

I also advise you on the hardware (physical hardware / software) to buy according to your specific needs.

This applies to anyone without age barrier, as long as the will and passion is there ...

Classes aimed mainly at people who are learning to play bass or guitar or have some experience and want to improve their technique.

My classes are personalized, adapted to the capacities, schedules and wishes of each student. No student is the same and no one seeks the same in music.

I like to spread the passion for music and awaken the desire to explore music with the instrument. My goal is to develop a critical and analytical capacity with one's own abilities so that each student is capable both in my classes and outside of them, to continually advance in music and to discover new things every day.

Since 2020: +2000 hours of classes, +160 students of all ages and levels, including at the Rock School Barbey in Bordeaux (2021-2024).

1) THE COURSES

After a 15-minute phone call, the first lesson lasts 1 hour 15 minutes + 15 minutes = 30 minutes free!

The following lessons last 1 hour and 15 minutes because 1 hour is too short for the lesson to be complete and enjoyable :)

My goal is to make you self-reliant while giving you as few lessons as possible.

Lessons take place in my home studio in Bordeaux or via video call using Google Meet and Listento (a high-quality, latency-free audio streaming plugin that I pay for for my students). I can also come to your home (+€10).

First lesson = Setting up and getting started with the software
After 3 lessons = You know the software and the basic concepts
After 5 lessons = You start to become independent**
After 10 lessons = You know how to produce a complete track and understand the basics of mixing and mastering** (10 lessons purchased = one lesson free)

**Provided you practice on your own!

2) THE TOOLS

In DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) production, you will need headphones and a computer with sufficient performance to create your music (feel free to ask me if you have any questions).

Whether using Ableton or other software (Logic Pro, Cubase, FL Studio...), the courses are aimed at beginners wishing to get started, intermediate users wishing to consolidate their skills, and advanced users wishing to refine their technique!

You will have access to a Google Drive containing everything you need to progress in computer music:

Si de verdad quieres aprender, aprenderás 💪
No importa si al principio sientes que no entiendes, ni cuántas veces haya que repetir algo: siempre existe una forma clara de aprenderlo.
No necesitas saber informática ni tener experiencia previa. Empezamos desde cero, paso a paso y a tu ritmo 🧩
Aprenderás audio como se trabaja en la vida real, no solo teoría. Porque en la práctica:
• 🎙️ casi nunca se graba una sola toma
• ✂️ una locución se edita
• 🎤 una voz se construye con varias tomas
• 🎸 un instrumento se corrige, se limpia y se organiza antes de mezclar
Te enseño edición de audio profesional 🛠️: selección de tomas, limpieza, cortes, fades, organización de sesiones y preparación correcta del material antes de entrar a mezcla.
Además aprenderás:
• 🎚️ Mezcla profesional
• 🔊 Masterización
• 🧠 Flujo de trabajo real de un ingeniero de audio
• 💻 Herramientas y técnicas usadas en la industria
• ✨ Truquitos prácticos que no siempre enseñan en la universidad
Roma no se hizo en dos días... ⏳
pero con la guía correcta, el camino es mucho más corto 🚀
👉 Si no sabes por dónde empezar, escríbeme y lo definimos juntos.

My classes are completely personalized, and I adapt to your level, your style, and what you want to achieve: from learning to use your DAW with ease to finishing your own songs with a solid sound. We'll work on the music that inspires you, because producing makes much more sense when you connect with the style you truly love.

You'll learn to build backing tracks, program rhythms, work with harmonies, record and edit audio, design sounds, and understand the fundamentals of mixing. We'll also see how to structure a track, develop ideas, and turn a demo into a complete, shareable song.

The approach is practical and clear. I want you to understand what you're doing and gradually gain independence. If you're starting from scratch, we'll go step by step; if you're already producing, we'll refine the details to make your music sound more professional. All in a friendly, creative, and motivating environment, where the important thing is that you enjoy the process while seeing real results.

I am Santiago, with 10 years of experience in the world of vinyl, mixing, and several tours around South America and Europe as a DJ.
I have a Higher Technical Degree in Electronic Music from EMBA (Buenos Aires School of Music), and multiple specialized courses such as Mixing/Mastering at Arjaus, and other Argentine academies.
I have a platform for disseminating content from the world of electronic music, four record labels, three in vinyl format and one digital, and with this, I work around the entire process of creating a song and its distribution.
I am part of more than 10 productions in both digital and vinyl formats, with the support of renowned artists from the underground scene.

I'm here to help you take your sets to the next level, develop new skills for your performances, and learn specific techniques for mixing vinyl records.
These classes are designed for people with zero knowledge of the subject, as well as for those who want to perfect their mixing or music selection technique.
We will go through a process of discovering timbres, sounds and intentions to incorporate into our sets to tell a more complete story in each performance.
In addition, I have a music production studio in Poblenou, from where I work on projects daily for my own labels as well as for third-party work. I would also love to help you better understand the world of the producer, or directly start from scratch with the adventure.
I look forward to your message to get started, whether it's in person with me as a DJ/Producer, or virtually as a producer. I can show you my studio and the work of some of my students so you can learn more about my work!
