PRODUCTION

LEARN / APPLY / CREATE

One of the great things about music production is how transferrable the skills are. While it’s important to become very comfortable with a single piece of software, the fundamental skills of sound design, arrangement and mixing are transferrable between all Digital Audio Workstations. At Dub Academy we will teach you the fundamental skills in addition to how to navigate the Digital Audio Workstation software of your choice. Many of our instructors really like Ableton Live for music production, but others like FL Studio or Logic. We will teach the essential functions of the program, music production and arrangement, the use of plugins for mixing and mastering and sound design.

Our step by step curriculum will ultimately guide you in the right direction towards music production mastery.

HOW IT WORKS:

Beginners will start with Production 101 where they will learn on either Ableton Live, FL Studio, or Logic Pro. After class 3 you will have lab time to practice and on the last day you will be given a test over what you have leaned.
