Learn to create your signature sound by understanding the principles of synthesis and be able to make any sound from scratch. 

Your signature sound is what defines you as an artist, so having the tools to make your sound unique is key. In this intermediate to advanced level course you’ll learn the principles of synthesis and how any sound can be designed starting from a basic waveform. You’ll cover all the main synthesis types from subtractive, wavetable, and FM to sample-based synthesis and physical modeling, creating sounds that are musical and practical and can be applied directly to your productions. You’ll leave with a thorough understanding of how synthesizers work and how to make your sounds unique and recognizable.

Requirements: This is an intermediate to advanced level course. We recommend good proficiency with music production and having produced at least one track of your own.

What students say

Absolutely TOP NOTCH Music Production classes and instruction! John Selway was an amazing instructor and I can't wait to take another one.

Ariel Alexander

I took an Intro to Ableton Live course to learn production. As a very fresh producer and DJ I was able to accelerate my learning of the tool and make progress in finding my sound. The instruction was particularly notable – the community format is great for getting feedback on material, and works well especially for those who learn best in an interactive environment.

Alexa Alianiello

This was such an amazing learning experience. The class was small, intimate and welcoming. The teachers were super helpful and always around before and after class for additional advice and questions. I took the Ableton Live Summer Intensive and would recommend to anyone looking to deep dive into this powerful program. I'm now off into my own musical journey!

Ivan Rodriguez

The instructors at 343 are outstanding. True professionals who are masters at the software they are teaching. Highly recommended. I've done both in-person and remote online courses, and had great experiences with both.
