Who is it made for?
- This course is designed for electronic music producers - we are going to take the perspective of someone working inside a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation - like Cubase, Logic Pro, Ableton Live, FL Studio).
- The course is designed for beginners but it's also suitable for advanced learners of the subject as we go into great detail after our first “basics” block is covered.
