Music Made Clear

Get focused, practical guidance on your tracks in online sessions tailored just for you.

Serum 2

Serum 2 is my go-to synth and my first choice for teaching sound design. I use it to show how to create everything from pads to leads and basses from scratch.

Ableton Live

I’ve been producing with Ableton Live for over 10 years for my own productions and taught countless students how to turn ideas into full tracks efficiently and creatively.

Melodies & Composition

My focus is melodies and track structure—making memorable hooks, call & responses, and arrangements that feel natural and ready for the festival dancefloor.

What You'll Learn:

I will guide you step by step through the full process of producing professional psytrance, covering every essential detail with clarity and purpose. From building solid kick and bass foundations from scratch, to designing drums, defining the musical concept, and developing full arrangements that keep energy flowing on the dancefloor.

 

Whether you are starting out or looking to refine your skills, I will help you transform ideas into complete, release-ready tracks.

 

Sound Design

Create Your Own Sounds

Build a solid foundation in synthesis with powerful instruments like Serum, Vital, Diva, and Virus TI. Understand how oscillators, filters, and modulation work together, and gain the skills to create your own unique patches from scratch. This is where the real fun starts. 

Tell Your Story

Melody & Composition

Tell your story through melody and composition. Learn how to write expressive leads, hypnotic basslines, and evolving musical ideas that drive your track forward. We’ll explore MIDI sequencing, phrasing, and the foundations of movement and emotion in electronic music.

Kick & Bass

Move The Dance Floor

Dial in a low end that’s tight, clean, and built to hit hard. Understand how professional kick drums are made, design basslines that lock in seamlessly, and master phase for a solid, controlled mix. Shape every element so your sub and transients deliver consistent power and clarity everywhere.

Mixing Magic

Make Your Tracks Shine

Achieve clean, balanced, and powerful mixes. Learn how to apply EQ, compression, saturation and transient shaping, control masking, and analyze your tracks with precision. Shape every element so your mix hits clean, warm yet punchy and translates across any sound system.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be a certain level to book a session?

Not at all. I work with producers at all stages—from those just exploring their workflow to artists already releasing music. Every session is tailored to where you are now, not where you “should” be.

What DAW do you use? Will it work if I use a different one?

I mainly work with Ableton Live, but the sessions focus on decisions, techniques, and workflow that transcend any DAW. Whether you’re in FL Studio, Logic, or Ableton, the concepts and strategies you learn will apply to your setup.

What time zone are the sessions in?

All sessions are scheduled in São Paulo, Brazil time (BRT). My time zone is locked to prevent confusion and double booking.

What should I prepare before the session?

Bring your project file or WAV if you’re working on a track. If not, come with a clear question or goal for the session. No over-prepping needed—we’ll start by aligning on exactly what you want to get out of your time together.

Will you work directly on my project or just give feedback?

Both. We’ll break down your track in detail, make live adjustments if useful, and I’ll explain why changes work—not just what to change. The goal is to leave you confident in your decisions.

Is this suitable if I’m stuck finishing tracks or mixing?

Yes—these are two of the most common reasons people book. Whether it’s arrangement, balance, or gaining confidence in your choices, we’ll focus on what’s holding your track back.

Is this more technical or more creative?

Both. We’ll break down your track in detail, make live adjustments if useful, and I’ll explain why changes work—not just what to change. The goal is to leave you confident in your decisions.

How do the sessions take place?

Sessions are held online via Zoom. Each video session will be recorded and sent to you promptly, so you can revisit feedback and adjustments anytime.

What’s your cancellation or no-show policy?

Cancellations must be made at least 12 hours before the session for a refund or credit. You can reschedule up to 4 hours before the session starts. No-shows or late cancellations are non-refundable.

Will one session actually make a difference?

Absolutely. Most producers leave with clear direction, practical improvements to their track, and a better understanding of their process. One focused session can often save weeks of trial and error.
