100%Answer Rate! Every single question posted to this class is answered within 24 hours by the instructor. Welcome to the MUSIC THEORY FOR ELECTRONIC MUSIC Guide - Part 1!
In this class,we learnhow to work with the piano roll editor in a DAW to make harmonies, melodies, and whole tracks, and thenwe expand on those ideas and work with harmonic patterns (harmony) that is richer than just major and minor.
Production Techniques Through Theory The most important part of this class is an extensive foray into using these techniques in actual tracks. I'll be creating 9 tracks through this class, right along with you, each using a different technique so you can see exactly how Iincorporate it right into my music.
Full Sessions After each production project, I'll give you the whole session of what Imade using the techniques for you to play with. You can download it, expand on it, re-work it, and even release it as your work.
If Your Music is Missing Something, This is Probably It. If you are finding that you are writing track after track, and while they sound good, there is something they are missing - then this it. You are missing the sense of harmony that professional producers have. In this class, I'll arm you with all the tools you need to produce those tracks just like you imagine them.

I have completed previous courses taught by Jason Allen and I have had nothing less than an amazing experience. I expect this to be no different.

By Kevin A. Joseph on 8/26/2020

It's ok, I already know most of the things that the course talked about. I took the course because I was curious.

By Adrian Toledo on 8/20/2020

Yes I did not know anything of creating music when I got here and now I know how the piano works. Now I know how the melody of a song and the chords are made and when I know when I have the right key.

By Steven on 8/10/2020

Ive already learned more watching two videos than I have the last two years !

By David Kavalow-Huie on 7/13/2020

Struggled a little with his other music theory classthis is more my speed.

By Carl Topham on 6/22/2020

Great course. I learnt so much on this course. Great explanations with easy to follow demos

By Amrit Rosell on 6/16/2020

Easy to understand and I love the pace of it. :-)

By Ute John on 6/11/2020

Teaches very simple chord progressions with little emphasis on how to use Ableton - not very technically helpful. Additionally, it seems too simple, ignoring such things as 7th chords. Unfortunately, too, there were a few inconsistencies with his use in Ableton. The course seemed to me more advanced by description, not a basic music class as I had it in 5th and 6th grade.

By Jacqui Bourke on 5/26/2020

Great course with clear and knowledgeable content that's well presented. Really enjoyed it.

By Niko La Pierre on 4/27/2020

It was a great course, I can't wait to start the second, and then the third!

By Luiz Fernando Pinatti Alves on 4/12/2020

Porque o curso apresenta uma outra tica sobre o assunto.

By Christopher Dowtin on 2/8/2020

Great match, I love the simplification of the explanations. Each section is well explained and a perfect segue into the next lesson. Well done.
