Course Length:
7 weeks
This 7-week program is designed for professionals who already have a foundation in digital audio workstations (DAWs) and want to advance their skills in audio engineering, MIDI programming, and full- track production.
The course blends theory with hands-on practice in modern music creation—covering sound design, MIDI sequencing, mixing, and mastering for commercial-ready audio. Participants will work through the full production process: composing with virtual instruments, layering percussion and bass, arranging guitar and keys, orchestrating strings, and finalizing a mix.
By the end of the program, students will have produced and mixed an original track ready for their professional portfolio. Participants will have produced a complete, mixed track demonstrating professional-level skill in MIDI composition, sound design, and audio engineering. Graduates leave with a deeper command of production workflow, from concept to final master.
