Production Classes
There is more to music production than what we hear in the final product. Great producers are great listeners, great thinkers, and great visionaries. You have to learn to listen not only to the music but to client’s needs and ideas. Not only do we teach you FL studio (the present) but also logic pro 10 (the future). Mixing and mastering are also taught in depth. We have the latest technology, including an AKAI MPK 261 MIDI keyboard which we also teach to use. A real recording experience is also provided where you work with the voice students. A production class is one hour long for instructions and an hour for practice. The studio is available to students all through the week.
