FL Studio Project-Based Training Program
This course is designed in two levels: Beginner and Professional. Each level consists of 5 intensive 2-hour sessions.
At each level, the student, guided by the instructor, creates a complete project (an original track or remix) from scratch to final output. The training is entirely hands-on, with all techniques, tools, and concepts taught within the context of producing a real piece of music.
By the end of the course:
- Beginner Level: Students will become familiar with the software environment, basic sounds, beat-making, mixing fundamentals, and standard output.
- Professional Level: Students will learn arrangement principles, song structure, sound design, mixing, mastering, spatial techniques, and professional output.
All sessions are centered around FL Studio and incorporate modern tools such as AI-assisted music production, advanced VST plugins, and cutting-edge production workflows.
