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.
Translated by Google. Click to view original.
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.

Jim
Electronic Music Production (Ableton Live, Synthesis, Mixing, mastering, Sound Design, Composition, Live Performance, DJ, Coaching)
I am an electronic music producer with a Master’s degree in Music from the renowned Rockacademie in Tilburg, Netherlands, and I have a music studio in the heart of Amsterdam. Working under the name Malvae, I write, sing, produce, mix, master, and perform my own music, enabling me to provide the entire process under one roof. My journey has led me to the Spotify Viral 50 charts in the USA on nr.17, features in films like the upcoming documentary 'King of the Streets', directed by an award-winning filmmaker, and even a Netflix series. With over 7 million streams to date, I am now excited to share my knowledge and experience with a few dedicated students. Earlier this year, I had the honour of headlining my own show at the Melkweg in Amsterdam, showcasing a self-built live set accompanied by immersive visuals. I also had the pleasure of teaching at Wisseloord Studios in Hilversum. In addition to my artistry, I work as an audio engineer for radio, podcast series, create custom music for film, and offer mixing and mastering services for various clients. I also have experience working on promotion plans and collaborating with PR agencies, which has helped me successfully build my own fanbase of over 10,000 Spotify followers through targeted advertising on Meta. I truly believe that everyone has the potential to discover their distinct sound if they are willing to put in the work. Whether you are just starting your musical journey or looking to dive deeper into the creative process, I invite you to book a lesson with me. Together, we can explore where you currently stand and how I can help you take your music to the next level. I can show you how to work with analog gear, as I have a collection of synthesizers, including the Prophet 6, Moog DFAM, Minitaur, and Ableton Push 3. If you're interested in performing live, we can even translate your music into a live set using Ableton Live and work with Resolume to bring your sound to life visually, creating an engaging experience for your audience. My music often incorporates samples I record from my travels around the world which I manipulate and blend with synthesizers and my voice. I found my sound this way, and I want to guide you on your journey to discovering yours. Don’t worry; we won’t have to go to the ends of the earth to find it. I’ll show you the tools to recreate or transform any sounds you already have, helping your productions stand out. Of course, we can also simply talk about your music or receive feedback, whatever you feel is best for you. My expertise includes, but is not limited to, Ableton Live, mixing, mastering, composition, sound design, industry insights, live performance, synthesis, music theory, and audio engineering. While I primarily work in Ableton Live, my knowledge is applicable to any program you use. Lessons will be tailored to your individual needs, and I offer sessions both online and in-person at my studio. I believe in providing a consistent and supportive experience, no matter the format. For online lessons, I use a program that allows me to listen to your music or projects in HD quality through a plugin you load onto your master channel, ensuring we can collaborate effectively in real time. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and help you grow as an artist!

Music Production Masterclass: How To Be A Bedroom Producer
Bedroom producers form the bedrock that most of the electronic genres comprising today's musical landscape are built off of. With a desktop PC, laptop, tablet or phone and an internet connection, you have near-instant access to all the tools necessary to create sounds literally never heard before in human history. Never has it been easier for an aspiring artist to begin, master and hone their craft, be it a hobbyist looking for a cathartic outlet or a chart-topping, platinum-record-stacking industry giant. The issue is; making music's tough. And Digital Audio Workstations are scary. And writer's block is terrible. And music theory makes my teeth itch. With both a masters and bachelors degree in music technology, years of professional musical experience spanning a wide array of genres and applications and eyebrows that'll knock your socks off, I can walk you through everything you need to become an electronic music producer. I can show you advanced tips and tricks to make the most out of your DAW of choice, I can help you with grasping the musical theory necessary to take the stress out of composition, I can teach you how to eradicate the dread of writer's block, discover your own musical voice, and help you become one of the great composers of our modern era. The Beethoven's, the Mozart's, the Tchaikovsky's. Just a little more sleep-deprived, I imagine. Or I can just help you throw a beat together, whatever suits you. (As a seasoned mental health battler; I am available midday to midnight GMT for you night owls, and will happily cater to those uncomfortable with face-to-face online sessions. Neither a webcam nor a microphone is necessary, we can pretend it's a Twitch chat if you need. Don't stress yourself out of wanting to learn. Just be prepared for me to monologue about resampling until you interrupt me with an emote.)
