Learn Music Production with Ableton Live software - MAO -


Hello All !

My name is Mario. I am a pianist, composer, producer based in Bruxelles .
I have a long experience as a Jazz pianist, keyboardist and arranger and I played in a lot of different bands . In the last ten years I spent a lot of time producing electronic music and I developed my solo and other projects as a mix of jazz, electronic and neoclassical music.
I have a master degree in Live Electronics took a the Antwerp Conservatory.
I decided to create this course where we can explore together the basics of music production using Ableton Live suite as a reference software.

Who is this course for ?

- You are a beginner and want to discover the interface while composing your first piece.
- You are an intermediate or experienced user and would like to improve your skills and learn more advanced techniques.

Course topics :

1 Overview of the software , session and arrangement view
2 Differences between audio tracks, MIDI tracks, auxiliary tracks, and the master track
3 Sound design with most important Ableton Instruments
4 Study on the main sound synthesis techniques
5 Audio and Midi recording and editing
6 Routing Audio
7 Understanding and using audio and midi effects
8 Introduction to Mixing : balancing levels, panning, equalization
9 Preparing Ableton for a Live set using session views and clips
10 Export and finalizing a song

Extra information

It could better if you have at least a laptop with a version of Ableton Live Installed, but for to start we can also work with mine and if you then get appassionate about the course you can think to buy a version lite or complete of the software.

Gilles
Brussels singer-songwriter gives lessons on music production from A to Z!
MY MUSICAL PAST: After many trips abroad, training in jazz piano (Antwerp) and in "electronic music production" at the SAE (Brussels), I released my first EP in November 2017 entitled "Into The Star" which then allowed me to play on several Belgian stages including the Botanique last March. At the moment, I devote myself full time to my “artistic ambition”. My projects are mainly: check MEWHY (Spotify / YouTube / ....) METHODOLOGY: The objective of the training is that you are able to RELEASE A PROJECT ALONE (composition - arrangement - mix - mastering - diffusion) My method is characterized by a journey between two poles: objectivity and subjectivity. Objectivity: Giving through the sharing of my in-depth knowledge of the subject as well as an interesting perspective, allowing me to see the music industry as a whole. Subjectivity: Giving through the sharing of my artistic experiences and views on music and the elements that produce it. The desire to have students for several weeks allows me to know enough about them to advise them best in the paths they undertake. The courses will therefore be a balanced mix between: - Training in digital music / by computer (MAO / ...) - Training in acoustic music / by instruments (piano, guitar, voice, ...) Have you always wanted to have control over all of your production? Do you have ideas in your head that you can't manage to materialize? Come!!!!

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.
