We are very excited to announce that DJ Suketu – one of India’s top DJs – will be creating a weekly vlog series as he embarks on pointblank’s Complete Electronic Music Production online course. Suketu is one of India’s best selling Indian DJ’s with a string of hits which have become club classics. Check out the video below where Suketu summarises his experience of week 1, and stay tuned each week as he shares his experience on the course.
The main focus of the Complete Electronic Music Production course in the introductory week revolves around creating basic beats, with the course content covering some iconic drum sounds such as the Roland TR808 and TR909, before teaching students how to quickly and easily create their own beats on DAW plugins and devices, including Logic’s Ultrabeat and Ableton’s Drum Racks. Week one in the courses also introduces some vital beat-making techniques, including programming and quantizing individual drum sounds to help you shape the rhythm and create a catchy groove within your sounds. Check out the video below, which gives a snapshot of a few techniques covered in the first week of the course.
Suketu is also the co-founder of The Music Inc (TMI), a electronic music school based in Mumbai. pointblank have worked closely with Suketu and TMI to create a unique educational pathway for their students looking to study with us in London. Indian students looking for academic accreditation in the UK can benefit from saving up to £3,000 on our BA (Hons) Music Production & Sound Engineering Degree, in which we shape a bespoke range of modules for their programme. We have also developed two courses for TMI students looking to study with us in London based on a short term visa, in the form of our Advanced Music Production & Sound Design Diploma and Advanced Music Production & Sound Design Certificate.
For those that can’t join us at our London school, we also offer a range of online courses including a new online BA (Hons) Music Production & Sound Engineering Degree, on which we teach everything you need to know about music production including mixing & mastering, sound design, composition, and music business.
