Brief Introduction

Learn the fundamentals of dance music production to make dope dance beats

Description

EDM music is dominating the music everywhere, and in my new class, you'll learn how to build three EDM beats of your own. From drums and bangin 808s to mixing and melodies, this class provides the structure for professional sounding and head knocking worthy tracks. You'll learn:

How to easily warp, chop, and manipulate audio samples

The key elements that go into an EDM track

My three big takeaways it took me years to learn

How to mix and master a EDM tracks with mostly stock plug-ins

Mixing secrets that are unique to dance beats

How to get a radio-ready sound without wasting money on expensive gear

How to design drums to KNOCK in the car and on headphones

How to make better decisions in terms of sample choice and sound design

For the course project I’ve provided the song files so that by the end of the class you'll have your own fully mixed track you can show your friends (or your mom...she’ll be proud).

This course is for beginners and intermediate students, but I recommend that you have a basic understanding of music production (and your DAW) to fully utilize the lessons I teach here.

I’ll be using Ableton Live but you can do these same techniques in any DAW.

You ready? Get the course project files and let’s make some beats.

Do you ever listen to your favorite dance music and wonder how they do it?

Have you ever heard a song so inspiring that it made you want to create your own?

Or maybe you already make hip hop beats but are struggling to achieve the sound you want?

Your mix is off, the kick doesn’t seem to bump, and you get so frustrated you just give up...

Trust me. I’ve been there.

If you’re anything like most producers starting out you have a vision in your head how you want your tracks to sound, but can’t quite seem to make it happen.

Now you can.

It took me hundreds (if not thousands) of beats to finally figure out what was missing in my production.

I tried to learn on my own through random youtube tutorials and blogs I read online.

I spun my wheels for years.

And after teaching hundreds of students know I now why.

The answer is simple:

We think because the information is out there we can do it ourselves.

But with the internet sending us new tutorials every other day it leaves us feeling even more confused than when we started.

How do you get your 808 to not clash with your kick?

What plug-ins are best for trap beats?

How do you make melodies if you don’t know music theory?

There's no clear cut path.

It took me years of trial-and-error, wasting time trying to learn concepts I thought I needed only to end up months later in the same spot.

So what’s the alternative?

After being frustrated with how confusing my own journey was learning music production I decided to do something about it...

I created Beat School, an online academy that teaches the foundational elements of music production in a simple and effective way.

This course on trap music production is one of the beginner programs designed to help students gain an understanding of beat making with a step-by-step approach.

In this course you'll learn:

-How to easily warp, chop, and manipulate audio samples

-The key elements that go into a trap track

-How to mix and master a trap track with mostly stock plug-ins

-Mixing secrets that are unique to trap beats

-How to achieve the gritty 808 sound characteristic to trap music

-How to make trap beats without wasting money on expensive gear

-How to create trap beats with only stock plug-ins and free resources

-How to design drums to get that signature BOOMIN sound

-How to design drums to KNOCK in the car and on headphones

-Only the necessary information that you need to make lofi beats, without the overwhelm and confusion of complicated techniques

My goal is simple:

I am here to teach you a simple process to easily make melodies, warp audio, create drums that BANG, mix, and master trap beats that you can count on to make your speakers rattle.

In this course I won’t overwhelm you with fancy software or advanced techniques. You’ll learn exactly what you need to get producing as fast as possible.

In doing so, I have built what I believe is the most effective way to easily make trap beats.

My courses are effective, impactful, and include extra resources to help you level up.

In the Class Project section you'll be able to download all the files I use so that you can create your own beats and follow along with me.

That being said, your progress is completely up to you. I can’t do the work for you.

But I CAN lessen the learning curve, provide an easy to follow blueprint, and shave years off your path to mastery.

I hope to empower you with the knowledge, practice, and resources you need to realize that this isn’t rocket science.

You can do this.

If you are willing to invest in yourself and commit to learning a few hours a week, I have no doubt you’ll be able to achieve your goals with music.

You ready to rock?

Download the files, set aside a few hours for dedicated learning, and let’s make some beats!
