Making Beats! 3 Producers Share Their Best Tips & Strategies

This class is unlike any class I've done before: It is a fully collaborative class. That means you are not just going to be hearing about how I make beats, and my production tips and secrets. You will hear those, but you will also hear from two other well-known producers to show you some of their tricks as well. This is an art, and the best way to develop your own style is to hear the perspectives of several teachers - not just one.

For years I've been teaching Ableton Live in the college classroom. These classes I'm making for Skillshare use the same syllabus I've used in my college classes for years, at a fraction of the cost. I believe anyone can learn Ableton - and cost shouldn't be a barrier.

Recently I was named as a semi-finalist for the Grammy Foundation's Music Educator of the Year award because of my in-person university classes. Now I'm taking those classes to Skillshare in an online format in order to reach more students and give them the joy of Music Theory.

In this class, we will cover:
Drum Racks
Recording Drum Racks
Making Your Own Drum Racks
Monitoring the Kick in Alternative Channels
Working on the Triplet Grid for Better Grooves
Playing Beats with Controllers
Setting up Controllers
MIDI Mapping
The Push Interface
Effect Racks
Building Audio Effect Racks
The Operator Synthesizer
Creating Ghost Notes
Velocity Adjustment Tricks
The Groove Pool
Quantizing Tricks
Effect Automation
…and much, much more!
