Course Description
Organic Beats will teach you how to take a single note, which we record together, and create a full composition out of!
Nowadays, a lot of producers are trying to achieve that 'EDM sound'. Well, not this course! Organic Beats is a very unique music course.
With my teaching style, I always fill you in on off-topic goodies to keep you educated and aware of why I am applying certain techniques. [You will understand what is going on even if you have limited audio production knowledge.]
I love how this beat turned out! [Just watch the promo video to hear the end result!]
-------------------
Course Process:
We start this course off by actually recording a piano and guitar note together!
We move into editing this note, showing my personal preferences to achieve the best quality in your recording.
I then show how to sculpt and mold this sound for optimal use! When playing by itself, the note isn't too usable, but after applying the techniques shown in Section 4 'Sculpting Our Sound', this sound becomes a deeply emotional element.
We then get into building our beat, all while you are shown how to mold, shape, and carve space for each new instrument we create.
You even learn complex mixer routing, which is beautifully labelled, and gives an amazing workflow!
I've also included a bonus video getting you started arranging your song for that professional sound. [Arrangement is just as much a factor as the actual composition!]

Really good stuff with a very nice way of explaining!

It's a journey what's possible wit FL Studio, it's a very useful course and it goes also deeper in how to use effects. It is a exellent course and I recommend this course to everybody who produces music with FL Studio. Well done, great job and many thanks for making this course.

Very good course, but very quick, it would have been good to see how you come up with the midi notes for each instrument and your thought process on how they all play together.

The course is amazing, really enjoyed it and learned a lot of new cool stuff! Recommending it !
By Marc Washington on 10/15/2017
Good course from good instructor. Based on the title I was expecting something about beats. This course is about the constructing an entire song from recorded samples. Yes, there is a section about beats, but if you're looking for a course on beat-making then this isn't it. It's still a good, worthwhile course, though. Just has a misleading title.
By Indy Bajwa on 7/18/2017
I think presenter is very good, clear, knowledgable and experienced. Note that this course really does primarily focus heavily on the concept of making a song using just one note but does also briefly cover some very helpful production techniques and workflow shortcuts in FL Studio as well as some general mixing and engineering tips. I particularly liked the "building the song" section. All in all a good course.
By Linnon Nesbitt on 6/16/2017
this course allows you to actually spend more time understanding that sound, and allowing you to be more unique that ever before.... folks will not be able to jack you for your sound, because it only exists in your project!!!!!
