Lessons of MAO / Recording / Home Studio / Mixing by a sound engineer in his studio in Brussels

Do you want to discover the world of recording studios or improve your skills in music production?
We can do this together in my studio or at your place.

I consider that we learn best by doing and I therefore try as much as possible to put you in control and to make you use your ears.
I adapt to your needs as well as to your level. If you have a specific project, we will use it to structure the course.

I have been a sound engineer for 10 years with experience in its various fields of application but also in teaching this knowledge. I teach both future sound engineers and curious musicians, or audiovisual enthusiasts wanting to demystify the audio part.

An example of the topics covered:
- Pre-production (how to properly prepare your projects),
- Recording (techniques, necessary equipment, in the studio or elsewhere),
- Editing,
- Mixing,
- Restoration,
- Choosing microphones,
- Mixing console,
- Studio equipment and connectors,
- Pro Tools and session management in general,
- How to behave during the recording session and deal with your customers,
- Advice for your home studio,
- Effects,
- ...

Song Composition and Recording Workshop
Author Composer Interpreter, I offer Music Creation Workshops at my home or by Webcam. Come as you are, and leave with a recorded song. No prerequisite level, we start from scratch: - INTERACTIVE COMPOSITION: Your ideas are transformed into music, choice of instruments, percussion, moods, musical style (Rock, HipHop, Jazz, etc.) If you play an instrument, record it, otherwise I am at your service (guitar, piano, bass etc.) - WRITING HELP: If necessary, support in writing songs or slams, we take the time to work on the text either before or after the music. If you've never written, I have tools from my writing workshops available) -RECORDING You record the voice directly, in one go or end to end, harmonies, effects etc ... LEAVE WITH A RECORDING on USB key or in a file. If you play an instrument, that you already sing, that you have more advanced projects, I suggest a follow-up with a reflection on your musical identity. Possibility of making an EP for example etc. Home studio with professional hardware and LOGIC X software.

During the lessons we can learn to work with different programs, such as Logic, Pro Tools or Ableton. The lessons are for students of all ages and levels. Knowledge of solfège is not required. I studied guitar and music production at the Conservatory in Ghent and have been active as a professional musician for several years. I have 12 years of experience as a private teacher.

Eamonn
Guitar and singing lessons in Brussels with a professional singer-songwriter/producer (En/Fr)
Trained at the Music Academy International, I propose private lessons of Guitar, Singing, and/or Audio Production centered on amplified music (funk, soul, jazz, rock, blues, etc.) and adapted to the requests of each student. My classes are open to all, children and adults, beginners or advanced. I attach great importance to the understanding of the technical tools implemented in the interpretation of the pieces, a typical lesson is therefore divided between technical work with clear explanations and actual practice on songs to play or sing. If the student is interested, I also teach the more theoretical aspects of music, such as harmony (scales, chords, modes, improvisation), music theory, rhythm, ear training, and deciphering. I also offer coaching sessions. These are non-regular sessions to target work on specific aspects of the requested repertoire. Each lesson is accompanied by work material (paper or audio) to practice at home. For guitar lessons, an instrument can be made available, for singing lessons, I accompany the student on the piano or the guitar (it is also possible to use backing tracks when the key and tempo are right ) and for audio production, I can provide the software required to start on any operating system (Win, Mac, and Linux) (I don't work with pirated software). Classes are given in my studio in Etterbeek, 5-minute walk from La Chasse. I also teach group lessons for singing, do not hesitate to contact me for more information. Flexible schedule (daytime or evening).
