Doing CAM (Computer Assisted Music) has many advantages for artists, musicians and producers. With software such as Ableton, CAM allows you to compose, produce and record music using a computer. It offers great flexibility and precision in music creation, allowing you to work on very precise details and create complex sounds and arrangements. CAD software also offers many tools for sound processing, mixing and mastering, which allows the production of high quality music. It is therefore an indispensable tool for artists and musicians who want to produce professional music. It also facilitates collaboration between musicians and producers by allowing them to work remotely on the same project. Finally, the MAO is accessible to all thanks to our courses. It is therefore possible to learn the basics of composition and music production without necessarily having any prior knowledge of music. In summary, doing MAO is an excellent way to create professional quality music using computer-assisted production tools such as Ableton. It allows you to explore new creative horizons, collaborate easily, and learn the basics of music composition and production.

To progress in music production, it is important to practice regularly. This means spending time experimenting with different music production tools, trying out new ideas and working on new projects. It is also important to listen to music from different genres and artists to broaden your creative and technical horizons. By listening carefully to the music you like, you can analyze the structure and sound elements that make up the song. This can help you better understand how the different parts of a song are arranged and how the sounds are produced. Finally, it can be helpful to seek advice and feedback on your work. You can participate in online or in-person music production groups to share your music and receive constructive feedback on your work. Constructive criticism can help you identify your strengths and weaknesses and give you ideas for improving your music production.

Computer music software allows the user to create and produce music using a computer. The software, such as Logic Pro, provides an intuitive graphical interface for recording, editing and mixing audio and MIDI tracks. When you start a DAW project, you can choose different types of packages that contain samples, virtual instruments and effects to help you get started. You can also record audio tracks from your microphone or audio interface, or you can create MIDI tracks using a MIDI keyboard or other interface. Once you've recorded or created tracks, you can edit them using the tools in your DAW software. You can adjust volume levels, pans, effects and EQ for each track. You can also add reverb, delay or compression effects to change the sound of your tracks. When you've finished recording and editing your tracks, you can start arranging your music. In a DAW, you can easily move sections of your song around, adjust the length of tracks and add transitions to create a cohesive structure. Finally, when your music is ready, you can export it in a variety of formats for sharing or posting online.

There is no particular diploma given to students throughout their learning process. Indeed, Apolline favors learning that is based on pleasure through progression and not on performance. This is why we do not organize exams, and why there are no diplomas. Every year we organize a festival with the colors of the school: The Apolline Fest. You can read our article on this subject. Each student who wishes to do so has the opportunity to register and perform in front of an audience of friends and family. This is a good opportunity to showcase all the work done during the year. It is also common for our teachers to write letters of recommendation for students to help them achieve their goals. In addition, for experienced students, our teachers offer a professional curriculum to prepare motivated students for the art school entrance exams. All of our music teachers have a degree from an art school.

Yes, a computer music lesson can be taught online via webcam.
