We cover every step of the process from writing, engineering, producing, arranging, editing, mixing, and mastering in real time. In this course we start by analyzing a project brief and references. We do an active listening session where we break down the references, and all of the elements that make an excellent Dark Pop track. In addition to all of the lessons, Producer Principles Dark Pop comes with a ton of course files including the full cubase session of the completed project, the stems and multi-tracks, my session templates for all major DAWs, the samples and presets that we used and created throughout the course, and much more. You can move through the course at your own pace, and return to it as often as you like. The course will never close, and you will never lose your progress. You have lifetime access to the course portal, modules and lessons, and course materials. However, once the course is completed, you’ll get a certificate of completion and you’ll have the opportunity to submit your own dark pop song to me for personalized feedback. Simply follow the submission guidelines in the final chapter of the course, and I will listen to your track and film a personalized, 10-20 minute feedback session on your track. This allows me to hear how you’re utilizing the information for the course, and find ways to offer extending advice, tips, or additional help to get your songs to the best they can be. Enroll Now!
