Taught by Gannein · Soma, GARECO, Tresor · English or French

METHOD

Every lesson starts with a reference.

A

Your track, played as it is. Kick alone, then the loop, then the full bar count.

B

A reference track in the same style, level matched, listened to for one thing at a time.

FIX

The change that closes the gap: a device, a frequency, an automation lane. You make it in your own project.

WHAT YOU WORK ON

Four things that stall a track.

  • Kick and subTuned as one instrument: pitch, length and the gap between them.
  • Groove without a melodyPercussion and repetition that change slowly enough to hold a floor.
  • Arrangement for the mixTracks a DJ can ride for six minutes.
  • The mixdownHeadroom and low end, ready to send to a label.

QUESTIONS

Before you write.

What level do I need?

None. Bring a loop, a sketch or an empty project and the session starts from there.

What do I need to work?

A computer that runs Ableton Live, good headphones or monitors and a stable connection. For a review, send a link to the track.

How does a live session work?

You install the Muse plugin in Ableton and join from the invite. Gannein hears your master in full quality and sees your screen. Your project never leaves your computer.

English or French?

Both. Say which when you book. Sessions run on Berlin time and the calendar shows them in yours.

What if I cancel?

Move a session for free up to 24 hours before. The full rules and the 14-day withdrawal right are in the terms.

How do I pay?

By card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or SEPA through Stripe, in advance. Mentoring can be paid in instalments by SEPA direct debit.
