This class is designed for anyone who wants to learn the basics of music production in the genres of Hip Hop and Trap. Whether you're a complete beginner or have some experience in music production, this course will help you develop your skills and create your own beats.

In this course, you won't need any fancy equipment or studio. All you need is a laptop and a pair of headphones to get started.

If you prefer to use other DAWs, that's perfectly fine, as the concepts we'll cover apply to any music production software.

We'll start with the basics of beat-making, from understanding the beat structure to creating your own drum patterns. We'll then move on to sound design, where you'll learn how to create your own sounds using Vital and manipulate them to fit your beats.

Once you've mastered the fundamentals of beat-making and sound design, we'll move on to arranging and mixing your beats. We'll cover techniques like layering, adding effects, and automation to make your beats stand out and sound professional.
