PERSONALIZED COURSE FOR AUDIO / MAO / DAW PRODUCTION

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
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.

Very competent! Friendly. A real pleasure.

My session with Ivan was extremely eye opening! I learnt a lot but more learning and watching than practicing. He guided me well onto which path I should take to starting my own adventure with making music. I highly recommend Ivan! He's professional, has a vast knowledge about making music from different genres!
Good approach, long-term professional experience and I appreciated advice for getting suitable and not excessive gear at a good price
Very good teacher, very friendly and attentive.

Leonsio
Music Production classes for ALL levels. Personalized and tailored to what you want to learn (Pre-production, Recording, Editing).
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.

Introduction to Electronic Music and Music Production.
I will help students build music production skills! I can provide an introduction to making beats, soundscapes, field recording, and general listening recommendations or help aspiring producers with tracks. I'm experienced in Digital Audio Workstations such as Ableton Live (I run Ableton 11), Audacity, and Koala Sampler and have experience teaching beatmaking classes for beginners and intermediate students. For beginner students, we will start with inexpensive DAWS and talk about what kind of electronic music best suits their purpose. I will also provide listening and historical examples that can provide inspiration for production.

Cormac
MAO AND SINGING COURSES / POP STYLE COMPOSITION IN / FR
I am a singer/songwriter and freelance session vocalist by trade. My lessons focus on creating music rather than simply doing cover songs, although I can help you learn cover songs as well. I began my musical learning journey at the age of 16 with classical singing lessons. I quickly moved on to more contemporary styles of music. Between the ages of 17 and 18, I was lucky enough to be selected for the X Factor television show in France. Following the show, I learned to write my own music and have been writing ever since. My main goal with teaching is to instill a love and appreciation for music and to guide people in creating their own music.
