***LIMMY OOFT Face meme to a heavy beat***
Well you're in the right place!!!
Right now,
we are going to learn how to program professional drums, in ANY GENRE -
This lesson is a free excerpt from my upcoming Music Production Course!
It's called from “SLOW” to “FLOW”
and by the end of it, you will have ditched all your frustration, and found your music production flow state!!!
I created the course because, before… I was a lot like you: dabbling in music production ….
overwhelmed by the complexity of it all…
and I definitely was not getting the results I wanted!!!
But since I’ve followed this exact training, it’s given me opportunities I’d never have believed, like ….
This one time the European Space Agency called me up to use music in one of their apps!!!!
WHAAATT?!
So If this kind of thing sounds good to you, and you want to be like the hundreds of other students I’ve helped, that’s magic.
They’ve gone on to have loads of adventures in music, and you can too.
ANNNND BY THE WAY… it’s worth sticking around to the end of this video, so you can find out how to build upon this lesson….
Because the other content that goes with this forms your FREE, THREE PART mini course for Ableton newbies!
Let’s gooooo!!!
