PERSONALIZED COURSE FOR AUDIO / MAO / DAW PRODUCTION

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Are you passionate about audio production?
Do you want to produce yourself, but you don't know where to start? I offer you the chance to take your first steps or further develop your talents as an audio producer in a professional environment.
I have been an audio producer for 20 years and I accompany you on this journey full of discoveries until the moment you can strike out on your own.

These courses aim to demystify the functioning of a professional studio and open your eyes to the fact that equipment is nothing, but that vision counts much more than the number of buttons you can buy.

The themes I cover are:

- The choice and techniques of microphones
- Studio acoustics
- Routing management in a professional studio
- Connectivity in a studio
- Prepare a recording session and a live session
- Getting started with the Yamaha 02R96VCM console
- Using an analog console
- Getting started with Cubase and Wavelab
- Comparison of several MAO/DAW on the market (Cubase, Nuendo, Protools, Reaper, StudioOne, WavesTracks, Ableton, ....)
- Prepare a mixing session (exchanging and sharing files with third parties)
- Recordings
- Editing
- Different mixing techniques for several styles of music
- Analog and digital audio processing (introduction to plugins and outboard)
- Mastering; what is it and why?
- Working with audio for commercial broadcasting (radio, tv, games,...)
- Work with Mac and PC
- Studio ethics
- Tips and tricks for building and purchasing materials for your own (home)studio

Do not hesitate to send me a message to prepare a tailor-made course for you.

See you soon,

Ivan.

Very competent! Friendly. A real pleasure.

My session with Ivan was extremely eye opening! I learnt a lot but more learning and watching than practicing. He guided me well onto which path I should take to starting my own adventure with making music. I highly recommend Ivan! He's professional, has a vast knowledge about making music from different genres!
Good approach, long-term professional experience and I appreciated advice for getting suitable and not excessive gear at a good price
Very good teacher, very friendly and attentive.
