Course description
Scott Smart of Brodanse told us: "These days you must be a successful producer to get DJ gigs" and we agree with him. Virtually everyone in Resident Advisor’s Top 100 DJ poll release their own productions and this certificate course enables you to do the same. You get to take advantage of the fantastic facilities in the Pioneer DJ Studio featuring the latest Pioneer kit while taking 4 modules with 2 lecture days per week. You also get unlimited practice time outside of lecture days. This is a great course if you want to focus on your music and DJing and improve your creative skillset using Ableton Live or Logic Pro. Taught by Ableton Certified Trainers and Logic experts who have released on labels such as One Inch Punch, Bad Sekta and Frogs and worked with Wu Tang, Estelle, Omar and Sway - see Expert Instructors below - this course is suitable for beginners and experienced users alike. As well as being a well-establlished Authorized Apple Training Centre, Point Blank is proud to offer its students the best equipped Ableton Live facility in the world including 17 sought after Push controllers, one for each student.
