Course Core Skills bk-FLS_c

FL Studio Core

20 sessions · Mondays, Wednesdays · 1hr each

Train up in FL Studio!

This course takes beatmakers through the essential operations of this revolutionary platform. FL Studio is now 20 years young and has established itself as a mature, professional platform for music production. Understanding the layout, the tools, and the workflow of this powerful piece of software will prepare you for everything that our other courses offer. This course lays the mechanical foundation on which beatmakers will build essential skills. The course is taught by experts who know the ins and outs of the platform. Take this (or one of the other Core Skills) to get started in music production, or if you already know your way around another DAW and want to expand your toolbox.

I recently took a music theory workshop with Nathan. He is super knowledgeable and also a great teacher. Music theory is often confusing and intimidating for me but he used a lot of great analogies to make the concepts more digestible.
