DIGITAL MUSIC
PRODUCTION

Produce your own original music from scratch. Learn beat-making, sound design & mixing in a hands-on workshop.

About the

Course

You don't need a recording studio, a music degree, or an expensive setup to make great music. You just need the right tools, the right guidance, and the drive to create.

In this hands-on 2-day workshop, you'll learn how to produce your own original music from scratch, right from your laptop. Using Bandlab, Novation Launchpad, and Arturia Minilab, you'll go from zero to finishing your first complete track, covering everything from beat-making and sound design to mixing and basic mastering.

The gear is beginner-friendly. The tools are either free or affordable. And by the time you walk out, you'll have actual, completed tracks to your name, and the knowledge to keep making more on your own.

Whether music has always been your thing and you've never known where to start, or you're a content creator looking to produce original sounds for your work, this course is your launchpad.

Some of the topics covered in this workshop include:

  • Setting up a functional home studio with budget-friendly tools
  • Basics of sound design, MIDI programming, and sampling
  • Core music theory for producers: tempo, rhythm, and beat-making
  • Composing and structuring full tracks with intros, verses, choruses, and outros
  • Creating melodies, harmonies, and musical arrangements
  • Audio mixing fundamentals including level balancing and EQ
  • Introduction to mastering techniques to polish and finalise your tracks
