Learn How To Produce An R&B Song From Scratch
As Willie stated beautifully in this course: ‘It’s all about the song. Everything we’re creating has to serve, amplify and accentuate the song. If it doesn’t, it’s got to go.’
Watch him take a rough song idea, recorded on a phone (with no click!), time-align it to make it useable in the session, and build a full-fledged production around it:
From coming up with a rough song structure, to programming a beat, 808s, synth and string parts, to recording live cellos and vocals.
This section perfectly reflects the workflow of a modern producer. And since it’s a current video, you’ll even receive some tips on how to conduct live and in-person sessions safely.
Learn how to create a production that complements the artist’s voice, builds over time, and captures your audience so they simply can’t turn away.
