The rich history of beatmaking has its roots in hip hop but has expanded to encompass a wide range of musical expression. In this 8-week course, students will learn the fundamentals of beatmaking using the DAW Ableton Live. Each week we’ll be diving into a new aspect of composition and production, culminating in a fully mixed track ready for sharing. We cover sampling, MIDI drums and melodies, recording, arrangement and automation, mixing and exporting - with some history, context and sharing of original work. No prior experience necessary.
