Ableton Live for Music Producers and Sound Designers

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Computer music is a world that can be very difficult at first. This is why I decided to build my pedagogy around YOUR way of learning. I will not just give you my knowledge, I will give you the opportunity to be self-sufficient and thus allow you to become independent in your learning.

If you are a complete beginner, you will learn the arrangement, the mixing, and all that will help to shape music in the foreground. From the placement of samples, the use of digital instruments and knowing where to position them.

But if you are already advanced and want to learn more, I offer in-depth courses on sound design or sound conceptualization, mixing and mastering, mixing down and whatever will give your music a professional result.

I would use for this my experiences in the world of production and music in general which now amounts to 11 years as an independent, also my professional experiences, my projects with major brands and my various missions carried out during my period of activity.

Also, if you are invested and want to get started but do not have the financial resources to take my courses, do not hesitate to contact me. We will find solutions.

In case of webcam lessons, a simple version of Ableton on your computer is sufficient. If you come to the studio, you don't have to bring anything back.

About Me

Je suis Mathieu, producteur de musique professionnel depuis maintenant 5 ans. J'ai commencé en 2010 en créant de la "Bass Music" (EDM Underground) jusqu'à ma rentrée dans des labels affluant. J'ai réalisé ensuite des tâches pour des grandes marques comme Maserati ou encore Universal en tant que Sound Designer et producteur, mon dernier contrat était pour un jeux vidéo pour la refonte globale de tout l'environnement sonore.

J'estime que mon savoir doit être partagé. Je continue encore moi-même à en apprendre tous les jours et je comprends aussi les difficultés liées au manque de ressources et l'aspect psychologique qui entre en jeu. Ce pourquoi mes cours seront d'une aide sans failles pour votre développement, avec une pédagogie modulable basée sur vos envies et vos convictions.

à plus en cours !

Education

J'ai réalisé mon enseignement à la base de mon autodidactisme. Je n'ai pas de diplôme, simplement une dizaine d'années de pratique et de stage dans le monde professionnel de la musique et du son.

Experience / Qualifications

11 ans de production musicale sous Ableton Live, Deejing, Sound Designing et 5 ans de cours particulier de Musique/Sound Design.

In one hour of lessons, the essential basis of Ableton was explained to us and all the connections made for perfect operation: we were able to make our first recordings without any problem. This teacher knows how to adapt to demand and listens, masters the software well and remains available for our questions. I recommend it without hesitation.

Composing Music using computer software (any genre)
Composing your own music has always been a very rewarding task. This has never been so true as the present day when you can hear what you compose instantly by using computers to generate and play back your own music. However, to ensure that your music sounds really great there are many principles to be considered. I have had a great interest in composing for over 40 years, composing in a wide variety of styles. Having been a music teacher in a comprehensive school for over 30 years, I have had a lot of very relevant experience in teaching composition to a wide range of different ages and abilities. The class will be personalized to your particular standard and chosen style of composition. If you are a complete novice and have not used computers to create music we can use a web-based programme or a free downloadable programme. On the other hand, if you are familiar with a particular programme that you have installed on your computer we can work through screen sharing and sound sharing to enhance your compositions using my experience. I will tailor-make the class to suit you.

Private course of Piano/Composition/Computer Music with AppMuse
< Learning Piano is not merely about playing the piano > Before starting to learn the piano, it’s essential to recognize that : '' What we are actually learning is "Music", but not only "Piano". '' The goal of learning any instrument is to acquire the language of music, enabling us to express ourselves and enjoy music with others. Playing the piano is for creating beautiful sounds, not really for developing finger speed or strength. That’s the function of gym. < Music is like cooking > When we cook, to make roast beef tender, of course, it’s nice to have a tender heart, but without knowing how to control the temperature, the roast beef won’t become tender merely by our tender heart. By only adding salt, the dish won’t be sweet. Similarly, simply playing or writing a C major triad chord won’t convey a sorrowful feeling. To create the feeling we want, no matter how much sentiment we have in our hearts, to convey it via music, it needs to be translated into the language which the piano can understand, which means, how we press and lift the keys and pedals. Similarly, when we compose, it needs to be transferred into chords, and notes we write. < Difference between an audience and a musician > There is a common belief that a musician can make music with sentiment or feeling. While it’s partially true, the most essential thing is knowing ‘’How’’ to create the sound that conveys the feeling we want, rather than merely knowing ‘’What’' feeling we want to convey. The understanding of the mechanism behind music is essential, as cooking, and that is the difference between an audience and a musician. As an audience, one can simply feel the music. Like a chief who knows how to create a specific flavor to convey, a musician knows how to create the sound which can convey the feeling we want. While knowing which feeling we want is great, it’s merely the first step. Your emotions are not too different from Chopin, Beethoven, Adele or Taylor Swift, otherwise, they can’t resonate with you. But they know how to create the sound that conveys the feeling they want to their audience. < Course Content > I consider my course to be a form of "Music Consultation" because it contains a wide range of subjects that are essential to a professional musician. While we focus on piano playing, there are also music theory, music history, instrument construction, ergonomics for performers, analysis of composer styles, composition, arrangement, recording, MIDI, computer music, the physics of sound, and more. In avoid of confusion, let’s still call my course as "Piano Course”. < Duration > For each course, I will reserve at least 70 minutes in my schedule for you, including 60 minutes of class time and an additional 10 minutes for discussion and any questions you may have. This will ensure that your courses are not rushed by the next student. This ensures that there is enough time for you to solve your piano and music problems. < Recording > I highly encourage my students to record their progress. This can provide an objective standard for comparison and help you analyze your playing precisely. In my nine years of experience teaching music, I've found many students, including those advanced, already play certain sections very well, while other sections may not be not well enough. But they still try to improving those fine sections, while not aware of those weak sections. Without an objective reference, it’s hard to distribute our effort precisely. This can lead to not only unstable performance, but also practicing without a precise goal can easily reduce enthusiasm. Recording your results and comparing them with those recordings you like on YouTube or Spotify can be an effective way to analyze your playing and set precise goals. If you have a digital piano, I can help you produce a video of your performance for each session. This can be a tangible record of your efforts and you can share it with your friends and family via YouTube or other platforms.

Music production/film music: are you tired of constantly watching YouTube videos just to get an insight into music production?
Are you tired of constantly watching YouTube videos just to gain insight into music production? Then your search is over. I offer you personalized private courses that show you which steps are necessary from the idea to the finished piece. Thanks to my studies in music production in Berlin (B.A) and years of experience as a musician and composer, I can show you in a professional but also very entertaining way which steps are necessary from the idea to the finished song. I would be happy to make all of my knowledge available to you. I invite you to my studio, where I mainly work with Logic. A large selection of well-known plugins and hardware complement my setup. We will be happy to see each other either via Zoom or, if you live near Torrevieja (Alicante), in my studio. Let's develop a piece of music for a short film scene. From the idea to the finished product and then we mix and master it too. However, if you are only interested in individual modules, we will create a study plan tailored to your needs. Students who speak English or German are well suited. But I also speak some Spanish and can therefore help you in Spanish as well.
