Music Production, Recording, Mixing and Mastering Songs

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
You know you/your band has some music ready to go out into the world. But how do you start doing that yourself? Everything starts with a good recording of your music and then mixing and mastering it and then sending your beautifully finished songs out into the world. But how does that work exactly and what do you need?

Well I can help with that.

I teach you...
-Work with Presonus Studio One (my personal choice) or any other DAW

-How to record instruments and vocals.

-How to balance the instruments with volume, panning, EQ, compression and much more. (mixing)

-How to finish your mixed songs so they sound as loud and punchy as songs on Spotify and the radio. (mastering)

-How to work efficiently and easily with your DAW.

-How to create backing tracks that live along with your band's performance so that you get that extra professional touch.

I can also support you with the purchase of your equipment such as. Headphones, studio monitor, DAW, audio interface, microphone, ect...

See you in class!

About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Welcome to My Apprentus profile.
My name is Bret

I've been playing bass guitar for 13 years. And I have also been very actively working with this instrument for 13 years.

I play in bands like.
Fry Paula
Soundalicious
Dean Delannoit (2007 idol winner)

And as a freelance much more like.

Robin DeLaRuelle (the voice)
Peter De Roeck AKA Roekie (the voice)
And much more.

The nice thing about being able to do so many different projects is that you come into contact with many different styles. From Rock, Pop, Disco and Funk to Jazz and Blues. And even electronic music.

In short, every bass player can come to me!

Whether you have just bought a bass guitar for the first time and would like to get started as soon as possible.

When you're stuck and need that extra push.

If you would like to be able to slap like Flea, Mark King or Marcus Miller.

Or are you just interested in Jazz and walking bass?

I don't shy away from a challenge.
See you soon!

Education

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
After I had been playing bass at home on my own for 2 years, I decided to enroll in the conservatory of Mechelen where I took lessons for a while.

Later it turned out that this conservative way of taking lessons was not really my thing and I started taking private lessons.

Thanks to my teacher who really believed in me, I was able to work in various bands and projects.

Since then, there are more than 30 performances on my agenda every year.

In short, playing a lot is a good learning experience, but a good teacher works wonders.

Experience / Qualifications

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Already more than 200 performances on the counter in Belgium and the Netherlands.

Nothing is more fun than being able to perform on a regular basis and entertain the audience. Whether at a festival of thousands of people or at a local cafe or even a live stream. I like to do it all.

As a bassist I also have many hours of studio experience on assignment for various artists. There is nothing that gives me more satisfaction as a bass player than a successful collaboration with other artists who are looking for a suitable bass line for their song.

Learn Piano and Improvisation and practice other languages :)
The most important matter that I could write here about is my passion to teach. I've been teaching already for more than 10 years, from kids to adults. I'm a classical pianist, but I am opened to other musical styles. What I want you to get from your lessons with me, is not only a huge knowledge of theorical stuff or a great technique, I would like to show you my musical world, the imagination and inner exploration that is required to understand and to love music in a whole new level. Once you have found them, it will be very hard to quit playing! The class duration: You can choose! 20 minutes (Great for the youngest : 3 years old) 30 minutes (Ideal for young beginners from 4 years old) 45 minutes (Intermediate+ adult beginners) 1 hour (Intermediate and combined with some Music Theory) I use different methods depending on: 1) The goals of my student 2) The language that we will use on class 3) Age and musical preferences: I start to teach children from 3 years old, we make games and they learn to play through musical stories that I have created throughout my pedagogical career.

Let's talk about music! Musical language, harmony, composition, various analyses, music in its sociocultural context or commented readings
Hello! I've been teaching nonstop for over 10 years, and I'd love to tell you what a class with me offers: 100% personalized approach: The first step is to define your goals. Learning for pleasure? Preparing for entrance exams? Or taking the professional leap? I'll adapt the methodology, curriculum, and even the repertoire to your goals. Dynamic environment (without losing rigor): Relaxed but demanding classes, where practical methods (and my irremediable sense of humor) prevail. Hearing + Musicality + Analysis: We'll work on listening, understanding, and analyzing your musical references. The goal: for you to make artistic decisions with confidence and feel music as your own. No stylistic biases: For me, all music is valid. We'll explore everything from classical to electronic, using each style to work on key aspects: melody, harmony, production... We'll even explore genres you're unfamiliar with together! Important! I balance classes with concerts and projects. Although you're my priority, I appreciate the occasional flexibility to reschedule (only when strictly necessary). If you like this approach, write to me! Learning music is an exciting journey, and I'd love to be your guide.

Vocal Technique classes for ALL levels. 9 years of experience as an instructor.
My approach as a teacher: I teach through practice and creativity. I believe the best way to learn music is by making music. My classes are tailored to the student's interests and level: you can come with an idea in mind or a project already underway, and we'll work together to take it to the next level. I'm interested in training musicians with judgment, sensitivity, and real tools to thrive in the industry. Teaching techniques and methods: • 100% personalized classes, focused on your goals. • Work with DAWs (Ableton Live, Studio One, Pro Tools) and real recording tools. • Song analysis, structures, harmony, sound design and mixing. • Development of artistic identity and guidance in creative processes. • Constant feedback and focus on your own projects if you wish. What are the classes like: Each class has a practical and dynamic approach. We can work on singing, guitar, composition, production, recording, mixing, and applied music theory. The idea is to progress step by step, without losing sight of your style and interests. Who are the classes for? My classes are aimed at: • People who are passionate and want to learn about music. • Musicians who want to start producing their own songs. • People interested in music production from scratch. • Artists who already have songs and want to improve their sound. • Self-taught students looking for more structured guidance. • You don't need previous experience or professional equipment: just a desire to learn.
