In this weekend course, you’ll be introduced to the wonderful world of music production: from setting up the equipment to recording techniques, and from arranging to mixing. You’ll learn everything involved in a real production process! So yes, do bring your instrument along. You’ll also be part of the ad-hoc band whose fictional album we’ll be writing, recording and finishing. We won’t be focusing on ironing out every last detail, but rather on the process as a whole. That way, you’ll be able to get started yourself at home, with minimal equipment.

This weekend is for anyone who wants to get a taste of music production. As long as you’ve got the basics of your instrument or voice down, you’re welcome. Let’s get in the zone, and vibe!

This try-out does not include an in-depth technical explanation of computer software. The features covered are intended to demonstrate the process. However, the format of this course does not allow us to help each individual participant get to grips with their specific DAW. For that, we’d be happy to refer you to our Ableton course!

Have you mastered the basics of production? For advanced songwriters and producers, there’s this intensive 7-weekend long course, where we delve deep into every part of the process and put all the theory into practice.

Practical

Be sure to bring your own instrument(s), (online) notebook and headphones. It doesn’t really matter whether they have a large or small jack – just bear in mind that Bluetooth headphones aren’t suitable for music production.
Also, make sure you have a laptop with your chosen DAW. Do you have an audio interface, MIDI controller or keyboard? These will definitely come in handy too!

There’ll be lunch breaks, so bring your own lunch, or buy something on the spot at Café Entrepot in OPEK or at Lidl just round the corner.

Level of experience

Level X: this course is for anyone who’s curious about music production. You should already have a (solid) basic knowledge of your instrument or singing though. Some knowledge of recording techniques or production in a DAW (such as Ableton or Logic) is also an advantage, but not a requirement.
