Description
Want to learn how to create, mix, and master your own tracks from start to finish?
Are you into that modern R&B Post Malone style?
You’re in the right place.
In this course I'm going to walk you through each creative decision I made when creating a Post Malone beat, vocal chain, and mix.
Who is this course for?
This class is designed for artists, producers, and engineers who are starting out and want to get professional sounding records from their bedroom.
As an artist one of the best skills I ever learned was how to mix. You have COMPLETE control over how your music sounds out and it’s an incredible service if you’re looking for a full-time or part-time hustle.
By The End Of This Course
You’ll have a better understanding of how to mix your own vocals and the steps you need to take in order to achieve the sound you want.
I want to be clear. This isn’t about shortcuts. This isn’t about secrets. This is about learning the fundamentals, applying them to your own work, and taking your career into your own hands. These are tried and true methods I have learned through countless tutorials and recording sessions over the years that I wish someone had taught me at the beginning.
I also want to make the statement that there is no right way or wrong way to this. This is simply my way. If you want to hone your sound take your future into your own hands and craft what sounds good to YOU.
What If I Only Have Stock Plug-ins?
Great question, you.
All the strategies and techniques I teach can be done in your native DAW with all stock plug-ins.
I’m using 3rd party plug-ins from Waves but all the ideas and concepts are universal, your native plug-ins will work just fine.
Who this course is for:
- Inspired music makers new to production
Instructor
Ay! I'm Kia.
I'm an artist and educator who believes life wouldn't be the same without music.
Or tacos.
In 2016 I founded Beat School, an online platform and series of educational programs to help aspiring artists and producers learn how to make beats, accelerate their growth, and stay inspired.
I'm originally from New York but these days you'll find me traveling around the world writing songs or playing beats on a rooftop somewhere.
Life is too short not to do what you love, let's make something.
