Description

How much time are you willing to waste learning music production?

One year?

Five?

It took me 10 years to learn how to make beats I was proud of, which is 4X longer than it should have.

How come?

Because I had no structure.

I tried to learn on my own through random youtube tutorials and blogs I read online.

I spun my wheels for years.

And after teaching hundreds of students I know now why.

The answer is simple:

We think because the information is out there we can do it ourselves.

But with the internet sending us new tutorials every other day it leaves us feeling even more confused than when we started.

How do you warp audio to chop better samples?

What instrument should I start the beat with first? 

What plug-ins are best for mixing hip hop beats?

I remember I had a million questions and couldn’t find the answers all in the same place.

It took me years of trial-and-error, wasting time trying to learn concepts I thought I needed only to end up months later in the same spot.

So what’s the alternative?

-

After being frustrated with how confusing my own journey was learning music production I decided to do something about it...

I created Beat School, an online academy that teaches the foundational elements of music production in a simple and effective way.

This course on hip-hop production is one of the beginner programs designed to help students gain an understanding of beat making with a step-by-step approach.

In this course you'll make your own oldschool boom-bap beat from scratch.

Throughout the process you'll learn:

-How to easily warp, chop, and manipulate audio samples

-A simple four step process to build hip hop beats from scratch

-How to mix and master your own tracks without having to pay an engineer

-How to achieve the sound you want without wasting money on expensive gear

-How to create banging beats with only stock plug-ins and free resources

-How to design your own sound

-How to make better decisions in terms of sample choice and sound design

My goal is simple:

I am here to teach you a simple process to chop samples, warp audio, easily create drums patterns, mix, and make hip-hop beats that BANG.

In this course I won’t overwhelm you with fancy software or advanced techniques. You’ll learn exactly what you need to get producing as fast as possible.

In doing so, I have built what I believe is the most effective way to easily make boom bap beats.

-

My courses are effective, impactful, and include extra resources to help you level up.

In the Course Project section you'll be able to download all the files I use so that you can create your own beat and follow along with me.

That being said, your progress is completely up to you. I can’t do the work for you.

But I CAN lessen the learning curve, provide an easy to follow blueprint, and shave years off your path to mastery.

I hope to empower you with the knowledge, practice, and resources you need to realize that this isn’t rocket science.

You can do this.

If you are willing to invest in yourself and commit to learning a few hours a week, I have no doubt you’ll be able to achieve your goals with music.

You ready to rock?

I’m glad I got this in the Black Friday sale. It’s a fun course with some good tricks for a beginner, but definitely not worth the full amount. Sometimes you just watching Kia do some things, with no further explanation. Also, the recourses mentioned in the course are no longer available. Like I said, it’s a fun course and Kia knows how to make a dope beat, but don’t take this for the full amount it might cost.

Learned a lot of interesting things and following along inside my DAW really helped to get my back in a creative mindset. My biggest issues are that this course is extremely Ableton heavy. It's not impossible to follow along, but the stock plugins and some features used in this weren't available to me in my DAW (Waveform Pro).

Learned a lot in this course in a short amount of time. It doesn't go in-depth into any one area, but this is a feature, not a bug in my opinion. Stepping through each part of the process at a relatively quick pace meant I made progress on the overall track without rabbit-holing on any individual aspect (though you're free to do this if you want.) The high-level mixing and mastering section in particular taught me the basics I didn't know without overwhelming me in minutia I wasn't ready for. In the end, I produced a 2 min track I really liked and felt proud of. Really appreciate the thoughtful sequencing of content and the course resources. I basically had to find one sample to chop and the rest was provided. Great job Kia. Highly recommend.

I think this was a great Tutorial and helped me know not to overcook, I have beats that are done yet I set here pulling my hair out wondering if I can put more in. Big Thanks to you bro :)

I feel like there were alot of keys left out when it comes to the EQ and Compression, didn't even explain that FF is FabFilter for plugins. I understand that isn't a primary focus of the course but I personally would want more detail.

awesome course, the missing .5 star is for the missing mpc style sampler that's not in the resources. It's not a big deal, aint nothing a quick youtube wouldn't fix. Thanks for the course Kia!!
