Computer-assisted music (MAO)

Since the 2000s, digital technology has offered us infinite possibilities in the creation of varied sound universes from real and virtual instruments, samples, sound synthesis and various tools allowing us to shape, sculpt and color sound.
Although music theory is sometimes useful, learning MAO can be done intuitively without theoretical knowledge of music theory or an instrument. However, sound creation on DAW (Ableton Live, Cubase, FL, etc.) is a vast and complex universe. It requires great perseverance to understand how the DAW works as well as a good knowledge of the tools and the composition of a sound.
Many people stop along the way, discouraged by the mass of information they must integrate before they can make a “good sound”. But professional quality sound can now be produced at home with minimal equipment!
To begin with, a computer, a DAW and a good monitoring system are enough to develop very rich and complex pieces. The possibilities for creating different combinations with additional hardware are very varied: synthesizers, sequencers, drum machines, real/virtual instruments, turntables, sound banks, midi controllers, inexpensive effects, etc.
The tools that certain computer programs (plugins) provide us with are sophisticated and, for the most part, inexpensive, allow us to learn different sound sculpting techniques in a very personal form. Learning computer music is therefore enriching in a multitude of aspects, which we discover throughout our projects and allow us to make our ideas real!

About Me

Fascinated since my childhood by this abstract mystery that is sound, I have accumulated knowledge for more than 10 years on the creation of immersive sound worlds and the embellishment of multiple sound projects. This knowledge was consolidated by a professional approach during a Bachelor at the SAE in Brussels.

Passing on my knowledge has become a new passion, accompanying beginners and more advanced to fulfill their dream: get out of their mind their creativity and develop their musical identity.


I participated in projects like those of Nathan Bonjour ("Niggas in Paris remix"), Juldem (EP "On our own"), YNK (Prod, compo, arrangement) 13 mini (Prod, compo, arrangement), etc...

I continue to develop my own universe of composition. Favorite styles: reggae, hip hop, trap, psy, cinematic.

In parallel, I mix and I also accompany the artists to help them develop their musical project, guiding them towards their own arrangements and a clear structure.

My work on computer is also accompanied by real instruments such as guitar or various instruments: harp, melodica, maracas,... .

Arthur
Produce a track from A to Z (Pop / RnB / Hip Hop)
What are the steps to compose an entire song? Where do we start? How to make it sound "pro"? How can I reproduce the sounds I imagine? How do we know when we're done? How do you know which tools and techniques to use and when? The questions are many when it comes to producing a track and even more are the answers, but don't panic! There is a solution. After several years of making music, I ended up synthesizing a step-by-step method that allows you to produce a song from the first ideas to the final result that you can make listen to your loved ones, or your fans! In particular, you will learn to: - Prepare your work session to save time and make your life easier - Compose and produce percussion that sounds professional and rich - Find interesting chord sequences even without knowing how to play an instrument - Find melodies that stick in your head - Build an arrangement and finish a piece when you're stuck and can't move on - Pre-mix your track so it sounds great wherever you listen to it - Know which plugin to use and when To take this course, you don't have to know how to play an instrument, master recording software or have the same software as me. No matter your level, I will teach you all the techniques you need to know to compose songs that you can be proud of by adapting to what you already know and conforming to your desires and your objectives. In other words, tell me what your needs are and I'll adapt my lessons accordingly :) Glad to have you as a student, Arthur. PS: Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any other questions

Private lessons Home studio, Ableton, Music production and Audio mixing
Are you passionate about music? Are you an accomplished musician or DJ and want to increase your production possibilities? Or are you just new and creative and don't know where to start? Are you stuck and often having trouble finalizing a song? Do you want a clear and structured follow-up without stuffing yourself with daunting manuals, confused youtube tutorials or overpriced training? If you recognize yourself in these questions, I suggest you accompany you in the vast world of audio-digital and music production in home studio. Because yes, nowadays, you can do everything from home, from the idea of ​​a song to its distribution on streaming platforms. But on the other hand, despite the increasingly efficient hardware and software innovations, it is very difficult to find your way around, especially when you are just starting out. I know, I've been there too. Typical course and examples of courses: Each student has different expectations and desires. The advantage of private lessons is that I can adapt to your profile, whatever your starting level or your age. In general, the first free course will allow you to get to know each other better and identify precisely your objective and your blockages. I can then better respond and identify the key steps to achieve. The theory is good but the practice is a thousand times more important. We quickly set foot in the stirrup. You are in front of the machine ready to do battle, and I stay by your side to guide you. The courses then take place according to various learning axes determined together according to your profile: - Discussion on the best material for your project, according to your personal objectives and your budget: Hardware, DAW, plugins... - Familiarize yourself with DAW (“Digital Audio Workstation”): I work mainly on Ableton Live or Protools. I can possibly teach you the basics (synthesis, composition, audio processing, signal flow) on Logic Pro. Because it is important to familiarize yourself with the tool as best as possible and not to lose motivation in the face of what can look like a "gas factory" all in all quite intimidating for a novice in the matter. This revolves around the following themes: - Quick handling of any virtual instrument (VST Synth, sampler) - How to record: your voice, external sounds, any other instrument (choice of microphone and placements, stereo, what to consider, mistakes to avoid ...) - Compose a first song quickly - Musical composition (tone, rhythm, melody and chord construction) - Audio processing adapted to sound design or mixing (EQ, Compression, Reverb, Distortion, Sidechain, layering, automations...) - Post-production (Mixing & Mastering): depending on your level, Introduction to these trades: What sets it apart from production? Awareness of studio acoustics Know how to read and interpret a waveform and frequency spectrum Learn critical listening More advanced course: work methodology, level management, Loudness, Mid / side, referencing The benefits of medium-term support: - obtaining commercially viable professional quality music, whatever your initial background and musical style - greater clarity and autonomy in your future choices: you will be able to ask yourself the right questions - an organization in all circumstances to remain productive and without inspiration breakdown - and, overall, a progression in your artistic journey.

Composing Music using computer software (any genre)
Composing your own music has always been a very rewarding task. This has never been so true as the present day when you can hear what you compose instantly by using computers to generate and play back your own music. However, to ensure that your music sounds really great there are many principles to be considered. I have had a great interest in composing for over 40 years, composing in a wide variety of styles. Having been a music teacher in a comprehensive school for over 30 years, I have had a lot of very relevant experience in teaching composition to a wide range of different ages and abilities. The class will be personalized to your particular standard and chosen style of composition. If you are a complete novice and have not used computers to create music we can use a web-based programme or a free downloadable programme. On the other hand, if you are familiar with a particular programme that you have installed on your computer we can work through screen sharing and sound sharing to enhance your compositions using my experience. I will tailor-make the class to suit you.
