Instructor Details

Rob Webster

My name is Rob Webster and I am a professional record producer and record label owner.

I create and teach people how to produce music of various genres and to hopefully pass on my knowledge and experience to others who wish to become producers. My courses are mostly within the Ableton software with the use of various 3rd party plug ins and I teach a whole range of different genres ranging from Disco & Techno to Chill Out music. 

My courses are very easy and simple to follow with many different learning techniques such as playing the keyboards and chord structure through to editing and audio mixing. You can read my biography below, thank you.

I have a long and proven success record within the music industry and you can view the highlights of my career below so far.

DJ since 1993 in many different venues and for many major clubbing brands including a ten year residency at "Progress" in Derby.

1999 International top ten chart hit in the U.K and across Europe and Asia, with the song "Everybody" recorded under my "The Boy Wunda" moniker. This record re-recorded the string section from Madonna's hit "Papa Dont Preach". It went on to sell over 200000 copies worldwide. 

2000 Remixed a U.K number 6 chart hit for girl group "Atomic Kitten" called "See Ya" This was released by Virgin Records.

2000 Remixed a track called "Not Alone" by Mike Koglin for Multiply Records.

well the drum patterns quite primitive, no swing, no groove

By Jason Edwards on 4/11/2019

YEAH! Rob Webster is fantastic, thanks for having him I want to take all of his courses! :)

It was good basis for the percussion. When the trainer got to the drum rack, instead of showing how to program it there wasn't much guidance. I didn't see the programmed drum rack in the downloads either.

On the beginning it was a bit to fast for me but overall - nice job

By Jennifer Davis on 8/9/2018

Viel geklicke ohne zu erklären was er genau tut. Setzt mittlere Programmkenntnis voraus...

By Denis Paulo on 6/17/2018

Sim, estou gostando a unica dificuldade é não estar disponível uma tradução para o português

By Nic Starkey on 2/27/2018

Nice brisk pace but with clear explanations.

By J. Paul on 9/28/2017

This is a great course to take you through creating a track from start to finish using Ableton. You could also apply the techniques to other DAWs. The uniqueness of the course successfully shows you how to make a Disco / 80's R&B sounding track. Great work.

By Nicholas Beech on 1/22/2017

Excellent tutorials with some great tips for creating EDM. Techniques can also be applied to other DAWs, such as Cubase! Thank you so much!
