Due to massive demand and over-subscribed courses, the team at the world’s premier online school has put the finishing touches to a fastrack guide to mixing your tracks like a true pro. We have enjoyed sustained success with Mixing Dance Music on Logic and have been inundated with requests for an Ableton Live version virtually since the course was inaugurated last year. So, here it is....<br /><br />Spaced evenly over 4 weeks, the course includes a minimum of 240 minutes video tutorials, 4 x DVR™ , the school’s bespoke 1-2-1 video feedback system and 4 hours of live online masterclasses by your expert pro producer tutor and with your classmates from around the world. While the course is running you gain 24/7 access to forum and the course materials which include over 80 pages of notes and exclusive audio resources to download. After the 4 weeks is up you still have a whole year’s access to this content, and get your track signed to Point Blank Music, who can get your music out on Beatport, Junodownload, iTunes and Amazon. Here is a sample video from the course:<br /><br /><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/I10WZe80oFg?rel=0" allowfullscreen="" width="480" frameborder="0" height="390"></iframe><br /><br />To get your head around how this works and what you get out of it, here is an excerpt from a letter sent to Music Tech Magazine:<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">"I took Point Blank's Mixing Dance Music course and it was absolutely fantastic. Their methods of combining theory with real life video examples are outstanding. Every week they put up a lesson dealing with topics from the course. There are approximately 30 pages of (easy read) written explanations combined with on average 1 hour of tutorial videos per week backing up the theory (I received as much as 90 mins some weeks). You then have a chat session with your tutor & fellow classmates where you can ask questions. Using the methods & techniques covered in the lesson, you prepare a project (this can be your own or you can use the one provided) which you then upload for the tutor to review. The feedback comes back in the form of a DVR™ (Direct Video Response). This is a short video in which the tutor looks at your project, talks through the things you did well, makes adjustments and provides feedback on how to move forward and improve your project. This video usually lasts about 5 -10 mins (even though the last course I did the tutor gave about 15 - 20 mins feedback each week). You can also check your classmates DVRs and learn even more interesting things. If I had to give a vote out of 10 I would give Point Blank 10/10. I hope that this can help fellow readers to decide on which school would better suit their needs. Cheers, Alfie"</span><br /><br />The course has been developed by producer and remixer Danny J Lewis who has releases on labels including Defected, Masters At Work, Ministry of Sound and XL Recordings. It also features contributions from other Point Blank tutors including electro breaks producer Rogue Element (aka Ben Medcalf) and Grammy nominee Mike Koglin (Noys Music). Thanks to this expert input, the course is suitable for producers of any style of dance music.<br /><br />There are still a few places remaining for the first course starting on 4th April so check out the full brochure at <a href="http://www.pointblankonline.net/mixing-dance-music-course---ableton.php">www.pointblankonline.net </a>and get in touch to enrol!Pointblankonlinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08955834074513695411noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3384822413128044758.post-77805952138578740912011-03-28T15:12:00.008+01:002011-03-30T10:00:53.048+01:00Rumer's Drummer at Sound Engineering Course<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:worddocument> <w:view>Normal</w:View> <w:zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:punctuationkerning/> <w:validateagainstschemas/> <w:saveifxmlinvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:ignoremixedcontent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:alwaysshowplaceholdertext>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:compatibility> <w:breakwrappedtables/> <w:snaptogridincell/> <w:wraptextwithpunct/> <w:useasianbreakrules/> <w:dontgrowautofit/> </w:Compatibility> <w:browserlevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:latentstyles deflockedstate="false" latentstylecount="156"> </w:LatentStyles> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 10]> <style> /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} </style> <![endif]--> <p class="MsoNormal"> Recently, we managed to catch up with top session drummer <b style="">Richard Mark Angelo</b>, and heard what he had to say about Point Blank’s Sound Engineering course, and working with <b style="">Brit Award</b> nominated artist <a href="http://www.rumer.co.uk/"><b style="">Rumer</b></a>, on her debut album.<br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"> Richard, sang the praises of Rumer, <span style="font-style: italic;">and</span> her producer; Steve Brown, who he was particularly impressed with. For Richard, Steve’s ability to combine cutting edge recording technology with an old school recording technique, came as a refreshing break from the clean cut, ultra polished feel of modern recording nowadays. What’s more surprising, as Richard highlights, is that Rumer’s was the first album Steve had ever made. This achievement was extra important, as it also went on to sell <b style="">500,000</b> copies and earned Rumer her Brit nomination. Not bad for a first attempt!</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"> Richard also supports the fact that here at Point Blank, we try to give our students an education based in practical, authentic, industry focused experience and knowledge. This is something that is heavily endorsed in our Sound Engineering course, where students are invited to a real recording session at <a href="http://www.miloco.co.uk/"><b style="">Miloco Studios</b></a> and get the chance to take part in setting up microphones and being genuinely involved in the recording process overall. This kind of hands on learning is something we cannot emphasise enough as being key to an aspiring sound engineer’s career.<br /><span style=";font-family:";font-size:12pt;" ></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:georgia;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:georgia;"><span style="font-size:100%;">To find out more about our drum sessions at Miloco Studios, watch the video below:</span></p><iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/21591104?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0&color=c9ff23" width="398" frameborder="0" height="224"></iframe><br /><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:worddocument> <w:view>Normal</w:View> <w:zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:punctuationkerning/> <w:validateagainstschemas/> <w:saveifxmlinvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:ignoremixedcontent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:alwaysshowplaceholdertext>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:compatibility> <w:breakwrappedtables/> <w:snaptogridincell/> <w:wraptextwithpunct/> <w:useasianbreakrules/> <w:dontgrowautofit/> </w:Compatibility> <w:browserlevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:latentstyles deflockedstate="false" latentstylecount="156"> </w:LatentStyles> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 10]> <style> /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} </style> <![endif]--><br />You can also see Richard playing live in the Studio on Rumer's track 'Alfie' below:<br /><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/rXlC4RxOG-0?rel=0" allowfullscreen="" width="400" frameborder="0" height="255"></iframe><br /><p class="MsoNormal">To find out more about Point Blank’s <b style="">Sound Engineering course</b> click <a href="http://www.pointblanklondon.com/sound-engineering-course-merit.php"><i style="">here</i></a></p><br /><p class="MsoNormal"><span style=";font-family:";font-size:12pt;" ><br /></span></p>Pointblankonlinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08955834074513695411noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3384822413128044758.post-88562576900854263612011-03-25T12:08:00.000+00:002011-03-25T12:08:34.117+00:00Soundcloud Workshop - Optimizing Your Social Network Marketing Strategy<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:worddocument> <w:view>Normal</w:View> <w:zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:punctuationkerning/> <w:validateagainstschemas/> <w:saveifxmlinvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:ignoremixedcontent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:alwaysshowplaceholdertext>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:compatibility> <w:breakwrappedtables/> <w:snaptogridincell/> <w:wraptextwithpunct/> <w:useasianbreakrules/> <w:dontgrowautofit/> </w:Compatibility> <w:browserlevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:latentstyles deflockedstate="false" latentstylecount="156"> </w:LatentStyles> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 10]> <style> /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} </style> <![endif]--> <p class="MsoNormal">We recently held an in-depth workshop with <span style="font-weight: bold;">Soundcloud</span>’s David Adams, who shared his expertise and debated the best ways to optimize the marketing of your music and broaden your net appeal via the groundbreaking social media platform that has now engulfed previous sites such as Myspace.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">In the video below, you can catch up on some of the points highlighted in the session and pick up just a few of the helpful techniques that David and the group discussed.

To make sure everybody had a chance to learn from Danny’s session we streamed the lectures through our <a href="http://www.livestream.com/pointblankonline" target="_blank">Livestream channel</a> so there was no excuse of missing out, even if you cannot make it to the studios.<br /><br />If by some chance, you did happen to miss the session being aired live, or you wish to view the masterclass again; you can replay the recorded version again, by visiting our <a href="http://www.livestream.com/pointblankonline" target="_blank">Livestream channel</a>.<br /><br />The masterclass was a great way to pick up some tips from an artist who has seen it all whilst being able to check out the <a href="http://www.pointblanklondon.com/about-point-blank/college-photo-tour.php" target="_blank">Point Blank studios</a> if you haven’t yet been. We try to make these masterclasses as regular as possible (at least once a term), so look out for more from big names in the near future!<br /><br />This was the first masterclass we have ever streamed through our Livestream channel. And it was a huge success, sharing knowledge to the furthest flung corners of the globe!

taken individually, and teaches students everything they need to know; from setting up their equipment, to beat matching, and lots more. The first weekend is very much a crash <a href="http://www.pointblanklondon.com/dj-weekend-courses.php">course in DJing</a>. A great way to learn all the basics. Part two is a more intermediate level follow-on and teaches students how to add some creative flair to their mixing abilities, as well as recording and editing your own mixes.<br /><br />The classes are taught by Pro DJs with over 15 years experience, in small groups that give a more individual learning experience. All students are provided with their own workstation, set-up and have all the best equipment available at their disposal. All musical styles are welcome.<br /><br />The special offer comprises of <span style="font-weight: bold;">£50 off</span> each weekend course that is booked before <span style="font-weight: bold;">Feb 28th</span>. If you combine both weekend courses that is a total of <span style="font-weight: bold;">£100 off!</span><br /><br />For more details check out our <a href="http://www.pointblanklondon.com/dj-weekend-courses.php">DJ courses in London</a>.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" >PointBlank has been voted 'Best Music Production and DJ College' six years running - T-Scan Awards.<br /><br /><br /><br /></span>Pointblankonlinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08955834074513695411noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3384822413128044758.post-22451101635940118092011-02-08T16:13:00.003+00:002011-02-08T16:37:04.176+00:00Claude Vonstroke Video Review of Point BlankWe recently told you that Claude VonStroke was taking an online Ableton course with Point Blank.
