Hands-On Audio Engineering Training

YouTube only gets you so far. This is audio engineering in a real studio, on real projects, with someone who's been producing and mixing for over a decade.

I teach Ableton Live from beginner to advanced. Synthesis, sampling, arrangement, mixing, mastering, live performance. On Logic, FL Studio, or Pro Tools instead? The concepts carry over, and I can help you get your own DAW working for you too.

Topics Covered

Ableton Live - session view, arrangement, instruments, effects, MIDI
Mixing - EQ, compression, reverb, delay, automation, gain staging
Mastering - limiting, stereo imaging, loudness standards, export settings
Sound Design - Serum, Kontakt, sampling, foley, synthesis
Recording - mic placement, signal flow, preamps, monitoring
Music Theory for Producers - chord progressions, scales, arrangement structures

FAQ

Common Questions

Do I need any experience?

No. I teach total beginners and advanced producers. We start wherever you are.

Do I need my own laptop/software?

Not to start. Having Ableton at home, even the free Lite version, helps you practice between lessons, and I can help you get set up. In the studio you work on my full professional setup.

Can I bring my own tracks to work on?

Yes, and it's the best way to learn. Bring your projects and we'll mix, master, or troubleshoot them together, live.

Is this for beat makers or band musicians?

Both. Hip-hop beats, electronic tracks, a band recording, a podcast mix. The fundamentals are the same, and I teach all of it.

Are lessons online or in the studio?

Online by default, and it works well over screen share in Ableton or any DAW. I'm based in Los Angeles, and we can talk about in-person studio lessons after the first conversation.
