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.
