Are you passionate about audio production?
Do you want to produce yourself, but you don't know where to start? I offer you the chance to take your first steps or further develop your talents as an audio producer in a professional environment.
I have been an audio producer for 20 years and I accompany you on this journey full of discoveries until the moment you can strike out on your own.

These courses aim to demystify the functioning of a professional studio and open your eyes to the fact that equipment is nothing, but that vision counts much more than the number of buttons you can buy.

The themes I cover are:

- The choice and techniques of microphones
- Studio acoustics
- Routing management in a professional studio
- Connectivity in a studio
- Prepare a recording session and a live session
- Getting started with the Yamaha 02R96VCM console
- Using an analog console
- Getting started with Cubase and Wavelab
- Comparison of several MAO/DAW on the market (Cubase, Nuendo, Protools, Reaper, StudioOne, WavesTracks, Ableton, ....)
- Prepare a mixing session (exchanging and sharing files with third parties)
- Recordings
- Editing
- Different mixing techniques for several styles of music
- Analog and digital audio processing (introduction to plugins and outboard)
- Mastering; what is it and why?
- Working with audio for commercial broadcasting (radio, tv, games,...)
- Work with Mac and PC
- Studio ethics
- Tips and tricks for building and purchasing materials for your own (home)studio

Do not hesitate to send me a message to prepare a tailor-made course for you.

See you soon,

Ivan.

Do you keep running into problems when you record/produce/mix/master your own music, podcast or other audio production? Maybe you are even unclear what those different steps are!
Don't worry, I can help you solve your problems, one by one.
I don't offer a standard course with a curriculum, but in stead I offer personalised sessions where we focus on what YOU wan't to learn, when YOU are ready to learn about it.

It doesn't matter at which level you work currently, I'm sure I can help you improve your productions and workflow.
Even if you just need help with setting up your equipment, I can help you.
Do you have everything set up, but things just don't work? I can come in and help troubleshoot your system.

So who am I?
I'm a professional sound engineer (both in the studio and live), record producer, composer and multi-instrumentalist.

We can do this together in my studio or at your place.

I consider that we learn best by doing and I therefore try as much as possible to put you in control and to make you use your ears.
I adapt to your needs as well as to your level. If you have a specific project, we will use it to structure the course.

I have been a sound engineer for 10 years with experience in its various fields of application but also in teaching this knowledge. I teach both future sound engineers and curious musicians, or audiovisual enthusiasts wanting to demystify the audio part.

An example of the topics covered:
- Pre-production (how to properly prepare your projects),
- Recording (techniques, necessary equipment, in the studio or elsewhere),
- Editing,
- Mixing,
- Restoration,
- Choosing microphones,
- Mixing console,
- Studio equipment and connectors,
- Pro Tools and session management in general,
- How to behave during the recording session and deal with your customers,

With my course, I suggest that you practice, use your ideas to explore the software in a fun way so that at the end of the course, you have understood the different maneuvers carried out and have concretely withdrawn something for your own projects.

I can also go further in explaining the logic to use both at the harmonic and musical level as well as technical (related to the operation of your software or recording and mixing), or advise you so that you can get the best equipment you already have.
Today, it is possible to do wonders with nothing!; no need for high quality and expensive equipment as in the past to obtain pieces worthy of the greatest!

Topics that can be covered:

- Musical composition

- How Ableton Live works

- How to register (vocals, guitars, other instrument)

- Use of samples

I'm a certified sound engineer and I have prepared a course for beginners and early intermediates, who want to dive into the world of music production.

I got my bachelor's degree in Music Technology and Acoustics at the Hellenic Mediterranean University. I squeezed out the most useful and meaningful knowledge of a four year curriculum into a 3 month course to help young people save precious time.

Instead of roaming through reels and videos online, join my course and earn a solid foundation in recording techniques, editing, mixing, production techniques, MIDI theory, acoustics theory and the basics of mastering. By the end of the course, you'll be confident enough to produce your first single or EP.
