DESCRIPCIÓ DEL CURS

Music production course with Ableton Live at EUMES

Ableton Live is one of the most powerful music production tools out there today, and also the only software that has been created for both music composition and live music.

With this course you will learn both about the production of any musical genre and about performing live with this software, and you will acquire an optimal workflow to be able to express ideas very quickly. The course is aimed both at people who have no knowledge about music production and people who already have experience and want to refine some concepts.

We will touch on everything necessary to learn to produce music: audio, midi, mixing, mastering the program, creating rhythms, basses, melodies, synthesis, effects, composition… And we will go far beyond the basic tools; how to be more original, recreate the effects you like from your favorite artists or finish endless tracks.

In the end everything makes sense because you will have to develop a final project in the form of a song according to the time spent and artistic project.
