Private Music Production Masterclasses by Valerie Ace
My lessons are one on one and tailor made specifically for you, whether you are a beginner, an intermediate/advanced producer with some experience or maybe even a professional artist who would like to benefit from the feedback of an outside perspective.
How it works
Each lesson consits of a 90 minute videocall. The standard way is that I share my screen with you. This is ideal for speed, for example if we are trying to quickly re-arrange a track of yours. However, the reverse is also possible - This method is slower but is preferred for learning by some students.
For production, you can either send me the Ableton file or audio stems. I can send you the new Ableton project file after we worked on it at the end.
For DJing, the Rekordbox screen can be shared both ways.
Popular topics
How to improve/finish an unfinished track of yours (arrangement)
Mixdown
Synthesis theory and creative practice - How to synthesize original sounds
How to make sound XY from scratch (e.g. kickdrums, a specific type of lead synth, etc)
DJing techniques & rekordbox structure
Track breakdown of one of my tracks
How to achieve the overall sound of track X by producer XY
How to pitch to labels
If time allows it, multiple topics can be combined in one lesson
Pricing
Each lesson costs 125,00€ + VAT. The fee includes a 90 minute videocall plus the Ableton file (if there is one).
Mixdown lessons aimed purely at learning without the finished audio file/without necessarily finishing the mixdown cost 125,00€ + VAT per 90 minutes like regular lessons. This is ideal to focus on one particular aspect of mixing - For example only the lowend of 2-3 tracks if time allows it.
Attended mixdown sessions for one specific track are 175,00€ + VAT and include a 90 minute mixing lesson + a full mixdown of your track (.wav and Ableton files).
