Digital Music Production Workshop
WORKSHOP OVERVIEW
Have you ever tried or wanted to make your own music? Is there a certain Digital Audio Workstation just collecting dust on your machine because you don’t know how to use it? I’ve been there, my friend!
We focus on beat making, production, recording and the basics of mixing. We’ll go through workflow, stock plugins and sounds, Truss’ go-to plugins and instruments, and neat tricks and practices. We may focus on Ableton, but we can look into whatever preferred DAW you use! Each session will have 30-45 minutes of theory, leaving you with the remainder of the session to get your hands dirty with Truss there to help you through! Each participant will need to bring their own laptops, and have their DAW of choice downloaded on their machines. Headphones will also be helpful to have.
