Ever want to get into a top producer’s head and see what makes him tick? In this course, Eyal Amir – with outstretched arms – welcomes you into his creative world as he imagines, sketches, develops and produces an amazing track right before your eyes.

Eyal Amir may be one of most creative composer/producers on the planet. He is also an inspiring teacher. So when he came up with the idea to create a song using advanced overdubbing and sampling techniques all using a single mic, we were like – Duh!!

Deploying Cubase – his DAW of choice – he begins this creative journey with a simple melodic seed. Throughout the entirety of this course, we get to witness and learn how he cultivates that innocent idea into an extremely complex and innovative track.

You see how to do advanced sampling techniques. Here, he records real drums and combines them with his own sampled drums to create an army of percussion that is the track’s driving force! You also learn how to record and maximize the sonics of your tracks using just one microphone (an AKG 414). There’s even a section on vocal arranging and tuning that will forever change the way you think about recording voice!

Most of all you get a behind-the-console look at how a top producer like Eyal Amir visualizes everything in a production as he constructs melodies, beats and harmonies all within a song form to attain a very high level of musical production.
