WHAT IS THE SIDE BRAIN STUDY GROUP?
The Study Group is a weekly online meetup and workshop for music producers of all levels. Every Sunday, we explore a different creative topic together through clear explanations, musical examples, and practical techniques you can use right away.
Styles and sound
Explore the musical language, production choices, and signature techniques behind different genres and artists.
Production skills
Build stronger workflows across composition, rhythm, sound design, arrangement, mixing, and Ableton Live.
Focused deep dives
Go deeper into specific devices, plugins, software, and new tools with practical demonstrations and room for questions.
Each session includes two hours of certified training, the workshop recording, and any associated projects, templates, sample packs, presets, Ableton Racks, or Max for Live devices.
