![]() Not having an understanding of how radio programmers are given records to play and how they choose there material has a lot to do with this horrific decision. Its quiet obvious that they heard something on the radio and tried to emulate the music because they think that is what’s hot, and that’s the reason why that kind of music is on the radio. As record company executives and studio owners we often see our clients and associates coming in and showcasing records that sound exactly like what could have been heard on the radio a month ago. How do you assemble a song so it makes sense and tells a story? Creativity is a very important aspect of this, and is not about following what’s current on the radio and trying to emulate that music. The next thing we teach is song structure. This is just one example of how we teach you to make a track that has an authentic sound. That’s why a song that has been sampled and recreated into new versions, have a dynamic feel that just using the presets wont be able to do. The imperfections that come with certain live and other studio recordings is what give the song that character. The problem is, when you combine them in some cases, they sound sterile and without character. ![]() Therefore when you use those sounds, they sound exactly like how those instruments are supposed to sound. It is important to understand that when the aforementioned pieces of equipment were built, one of the primary design objectives was to have clean pristine sounds, so that an oboe preset sounds like an oboe, and a piano preset sounds like a piano. We do this by teaching you how to obtain sounds that have an authentic live feel with depth and character, as opposed to using the sounds that come preloaded in most music production tools, keyboards, synthesizers, drum machines etc. As part of the Advanced Ableton Live course, we teach you how to get around that. It is likely that you used a lot of pre set sounds, and didn’t have a live feel to the quality of the recording. If you are a beginner producer and have made a beat, you probably are wondering why the beat sounds so cheesy. This course will teach you how to put together a beat, and all the other elements that go with it. ![]() ![]() The primary objective of this course is to help you understand what exactly makes a record a radio friendly single, and how exactly a record gets a lot of airplay. This course has been designed to teach you the art and science of music production. This is not your typical audio engineering program where we just talk about equalizers and compressors, or how digital audio workstations are used. The Advanced Ableton Live course has been created for those who want to learn how use Ableton Live to make beats and compose really good music. ![]()
