Gary Hiebner

Who Am I

I'm a sound designer and music composer from South Africa, and my passions are music making, and teach others how to make music.

My Experience

I've been working in new media such as music and sound for TV and online games for the last 15 years. In these years I've worked through a multitude of different audio software, and through this found a passion for teaching how to use the different type of audio software that is available on the market. 

What I Teach

I'm a firm believer that audio software has its place in the creative field and using them as tools you can get different results which you might not have ever imagined. I wish to show you how to get the most out of these audio applications so that you can produce and expand on your musical ideas.

well explained on how to beak a sample down into smaller samples to create your own drum pattern.

By David W Marchman on 3/9/2025

Clear instruction about a topic I didn't know much about. Instruction went slowly and with enough details and examples (but not too many) to make sure I understood the material. Great job!

By Darin Driscoll on 12/28/2024

Another great course from Gary. I really enjoy short courses that quickly go over the material and let you explore what you've learned.

By Jim Hart on 8/25/2020

I was already familiar with these general topics but wanted to see them in use with Studio One. Gary does a great job with the pacing of the lessons

By Anthony Philip Jones on 6/6/2020

Really enjoyed this course and I can see myself returning to the materials many times in the future

By Martin Herz on 5/11/2020

Informative, nice pace, good buildup, quite satisfying to watch. Love the layered approach of the lessons!

By Shea Tanner on 4/3/2020

Most of this I have already learned from YouTube videos, but not specifically the instruments in StudioOne. Altogether a good intro course for novices to synths, but I was hoping for more "meat."

By Keith Plambeck on 3/27/2020

The course was great, however I'm quite a newbie to Studio One and I'll be rewatching this course multiple times as I get more familiar with the overwhelming amount of things to learn about Studio One. This is definitely a long term commitment to get a solid understanding of how to use Studio One, but if you dedicated your life to creating your own music, then being able to record your own music at a high level is a must know. Thank you Gary and I look forward to enrolling in your other Studio One courses!

By Ogie Ezomo on 3/23/2020

I learned a few more tricks on Studio One and I hope to see updates to this so I can get better with synthesis on Mai Tai.

By Andreas Söderlund on 3/12/2020

It goes through the basics but without any practice material. It also feels a bit short. The other courses are much more comprehensive.
