Program Learning Outcomes
- Students in Slam Academy programs learn electronic music production from industry professionals, in a fast-paced, experimental environment.
- Classes take the novice producer through the most advanced content and cutting-edge techniques, equipping you with all the tools you will need to be a professional producer.
- Slam Academy is devoted to creating a non-competitive, experiential learning environment available to anyone who seeks it.
- In today’s competitive music industry, poorly mixed or mastered music gets lost in the fray. To stand out from the crowd, having the sonic clarity, punch and polish that is achieved through the processes of mixing and mastering is a must.
- Turn your sketches into records in the studio with veteran producers and musicians.
- Today’s DJs are experts on the power of music to move people, and with the right knowledge that power can be yours. Learn to rock a set on any format of professional DJ tools.
- Slam Academy’s Recording Arts Program is unlike any other recording program. We don’t focus on the Hollywood studio, the million-dollar consoles, or the “industry standard†version of Pro Tools. Instead, we focus on the home studio.
- If you are already a producer, but looking for that edge that will make your beats pro, this is it. This course is designed for MCs & producers looking to dig in and succeed with their craft.
- If you want to sell your beats, collaborate, and dominate the field – you need to be working alongside someone already doing it.
- n the Sound Design program, you will be guided through everything you need to know to create incredible sounds from scratch.
