Bleeps+Loops

Awwwww yesss! We’re so excited to announce a new online music production education platform we've been working on the past few months that is ENROLLING NOW! (Job opportunities for you producers out there too :) read on…) Check it out here: https://bleepsandloops.com/learn-ableton/

The Beat Retreat is a 4 week program that focuses on genre-specific music production within Ableton Live. Our project-based curriculum places a strong emphasis on collaboration and community without sacrificing the individual attention necessary to advance quickly and confidently as a musician.

Attendees will have access to nearly 100 instructional videos, and will meet 3 times per week via Zoom with instructors for live, individualized instruction in small groups of 6.

By the end of the month, attendees will walk away with a fully produced track, a remix, connections to other producers all over the world, and an honorary induction to the B+L Society, an online community centered around music production and synths. B+L Society members get all sorts of benefits such as access to free monthly sample packs, monthly lessons with B+L instructors, peer and professional track review, and more!

The Beat Retreat is open to producers of all experience levels, and we’re enrolling now! If you or someone you know is interested, head over to our website and sign up!

NOTE: Bleeps+Loops firmly supports the Black community and the Black Lives Matter movement. In these times we must all support each other and help where we can, which is why we’ve committed to donating a portion of our sales to AFRORACK, an “arts organization committed to providing children and young adults of color access to modular synthesizers and sound design tools.” If you are interested in donating to AFRORACK, head over to their GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/f/afrorack-gofundme

JOB OPPORTUNITY: We are currently hiring Level 10 Ableton experts! If you’re a producer who specializes in a particular style and you’re interested in teaching, reach out to us via [email protected] :) We look forward to meeting you!
