About this course
You should take this if you've ever wondered how groups like Daft Punk get their sound. Or, if you just want a crash course in music production, so you can tell people you produce dance music, this would be the course to take.
In an hour, you'll learn how to go from having little to no musical experience to mixing and producing a dance track with vocals (using a vocoder, that alien-like voice synth) AND you'll be able to take these tools to create your own music.
You don't even need instruments--just three things:
- A computer keyboard
- A built in mic on your smartphone or computer
- A free copy of Ableton Live (download a 30-day trial on their website)
I'll show you a trick for getting right to producing without playing a single note. You don't need to be a genius or talented -it's all there for you.
NOTE: The trial of Ableton lasts only 30 days, so make sure you finish this course quick so you can get started on new songs!
After this crash course, it should be easy enough for you to move beyond the song I teach you into new songs, including doing your own remixes and covers of any music.
