Transform your ideas into real music
Ableton Live has become the industry standard for its versatility both in the studio and live. In this course we teach you to master it without getting lost in infinite manuals, going directly to what matters: making music.
We will work on your own projects or create new ones from scratch, exploring sampling techniques, synthesis, and realistic arrangements that work. The goal is that by the end of the course you have total autonomy to start producing your own tracks.
The course adapts to your musical style and your goals.
Lessons are taught in English at our studio in Poblenou, Barcelona, by appointment and at times that suit you. If you don't live in Barcelona, you can also take the course online.

Choose how you want to learn: you can take this course in individual format, or choose the Duo Format to learn with another person at a special price.
What will you learn?
Master the language of Ableton Live and the duality between Session and Arrangement. You will learn to create and sequence powerful drums, write bass lines, melodies, and chords intuitively, with resources to never get stuck.
Discover Warp and how to manipulate any audio to your liking, synchronize it with the tempo, extract elements from other songs, and sculpt your own instruments.
Learn to manipulate instruments to create new ones and achieve the sound you are looking for.
The big challenge: getting out of the 8-bar loop. You will learn to structure a complete track, manage the dancefloor energy, create contrasts, and use automation so that your music breathes and has constant movement.
The final step so that your track can sound on any dancefloor. You will learn the basis of sound to achieve a good volume and presence.

Instructor
Marc Moncasi Gaya
Audiovisual Systems Engineer
After 10 years working as an IT professional, I began my career as a DJ and Producer under the Marc Monka project. I studied electronic music production at the EUMES school (Girona) and since 2013 I have been developing my DJ and Music Production project in Barcelona.
Since 2019, I have been designing courses and teaching classes, both individually and to groups. My ambition for music, experience, and engineering background have enabled me to guide students of all ages as well as professionals with varying levels of knowledge and experience. Currently, I also teach DJing and Music Production classes and courses at the Escola de Música Municipal de Alcover and offer educational and recreational workshops on demand.
