Music Production Masterclass
We welcome Industrial Techno heavy hitter Mickey Nox, who released on Perc Trax, SLAM and worked with the likes of Rebekah, Ansome, Perc and also founded Green Fetish Records.

This masterclass is intended to both illustrate the guiding principles of Mickey Nox way of making music and provide concrete demonstration to produce effectively. The structure is so that you could follow the process step by step to create your music building on this approach.
Throughout the course the artist uses mostly Ableton and built in instruments and effects, and some external VSTs. The explanations are structured in a way that principles are usable by any producers even by those who don’t possess the same VSTs.
The masterclass cater to beginner to intermediate producers. Some insights cater to professional producers too - ie creating sounds (from any source!), layering, processing for a clean mixdown.
