Program Overview
DJ/Producer Award
Program Overview
The 3-month DJ/Producer Award will teach you all the fundamental skills you need to produce your own tracks and DJ live sets. You’ll first get to know your workstation and equipment before diving into essential DJ techniques such as using analog and digital turntables, beat matching, drop mixing and recording your mixes. You’ll then learn how to create your very own floor fillers using your chosen DAW (Ableton Live or Logic Pro). You will be taught skills including structuring a track, drum programming, using virtual instruments and effects, flex time and pitch, mixing and much more. You’ll be taught by our expert faculty which includes Ableton Certified Trainers, professional DJs and music producers who’ve worked with the likes of Pharrell and Flying Lotus.
