What makes me qualified to teach you?
In addition to being a composer and educator, I also have a Ph.D. in music, I am a university music professor, and have a long list of awards for teaching.
But more importantly: I use this stuff every day. I write music professionally, I am an active guitarist, and I stay on top of all the latest production techniques, workflows, and styles. As you will see in this class, I just love this stuff. And I love teaching it.
You will not have another opportunity to learn my secret weapons than this.

Great introduction to this tool!
By Martin Lembke on 12/19/2021
Eigentlich ist dieser Kurs sehr interessant, obwohl er ein wenig nach Werbung für Splice klingt. Doch leider scheinen die Informationen nicht ganz korrekt zu sein. Die auf Splice angebotenen Samples sollen angeblich lizenzfrei und kommerziell nutzbar sein. Werden jedoch Musikstücke mit den Samples von Splice zur Videoproduktion genutzt, dann dauert es nicht lange, bis die Videos von YouTube aufgrund von Urheberrechtsverletzungen gesperrt werden. Obwohl es im Internet dutzende dieser schlechten Erfahrungen zu sehen gibt, wurde im Video nicht darauf hingewiesen.

This is the class I've been looking for! THANK YOU!
By LeRoy Wood III on 12/15/2021
This was a great overview of Splice. It gave helpful tips, and illumination on what you get with Splice, and how that can be used in your existing workflow. If you're like me, and your sample library is bulging with samples of questionable licensing, this course will likely give you the incentive to try something new and expand your sonic palette.
