Frequently asked questions.
No. You can start as a complete beginner – we begin with the basics. If you already produce, we start at your level or with your own track.
Your own laptop with Ableton Live installed, and headphones. That way you learn on your own setup and can carry on at home right away.
Both are possible: in person at the studio in Zurich or online via video call. Coaching is available in German or English.
Both. You can book a single session on a specific topic or a full course with several sessions that takes you all the way to your own track.
The focus is on house, deep house and minimal. But the fundamentals – drums, bass, arrangement and mixing – will help you in any electronic genre.
