Producers!: Fresh Tracks Contest

BC is a hotbed of high-level electronica producer mastery. You don’t have to go far to find these cats – Toby Emerson, AFK, Neon Steve, Tantric Decks, Beatfarmer… I could go on forever! And that’s without even leaving the Island. However, to find someone who not only has the production mastery – but can TEACH it? Well, you’re now talking about a much smaller group of people. And if you want them to be a Certified Ableton Instructor? Almost impossible.

Unless you happen to have access to Drew Betts, almost better known as Vespers! We all know he can write & play sick beats, but he’s also a Certified Ableton Instructor – and a committed music educator whose growing suite of youtube videos, tools & offerings is quickly becoming one of Canada’s leading resources for budding producers at all levels. Now, having partnered with Certified Ableton Trainer Jake Perrine, they stand prepared to deliver an amazing 4 session live webinar series entitled “Mixing and Mastering with Ableton Live.”.

The workshop writeup offers:
