❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Do I need prior music experience or music theory knowledge to start?

Not at all. We tailor the course entirely to your current starting point. If you are a complete beginner, we guide you step-by-step through the fundamentals without confusing technical jargon. If you already have experience, we jump straight into advanced mixing, synthesis, or mastering techniques.

Do I need to bring my own laptop or equipment to in-person sessions?

It is not mandatory. Our Barcelona studio is fully equipped with high-end Apple Mac Studio workstations, analog synthesizers, and professional hardware controllers. However, if you prefer to bring your own laptop to set up your personal DAW environment and take your projects home instantly, you are more than welcome.

How do live 1-on-1 Online classes work, and how are they different from pre-recorded videos?

Unlike static pre-recorded video courses where you cannot ask questions, our online classes are 100% live, private, and interactive via Zoom or Google Meet with producer Ander B. Furthermore, we record every session in High Definition (HD) video and send you the file after class so you can download and keep it for life.

What schedule options are available, and what happens if I need to reschedule a class?

Because these are private 1-on-1 sessions, scheduling is completely flexible and arranged mutually. You can book morning, afternoon, or weekend sessions to fit your work or study life. If an unexpected event arises, simply notify us 24 hours in advance, and we will reschedule without you losing your session.
