If there is one thing that we're excited about, it's getting more female and gender-nonconforming people to experience the joys of music production. Our basics courses focus on creating a space for learning, exchange and a community of likeminded individuals.
The Production Essentials 2.0 course supports producers with prior experience in advancing their skills, focusing on effects processing, compression, groove, and track structure.
instructor: babs
She is a pop rapper, producer and songwriter on a mission. Babs cannot be put in a box, and is not afraid to kick against the stereotypes about gender and sexuality that are imposed by society. In her lyrics she raps openly about her own feelings and behaviour, encourages herself and others to show some guts and puts society to the test. As a female producer and rapper, she playfully tries to counteract a male-dominated scene. Her music is a combination of fast, dominant trap or dance drums, melodic rap and unpredictable, funky, rhythmic chords with a happy pop flavor, where the story is key. She plays with language but remains straightforward. Her goal is to use this music to add color to the black and white thinking of society!

“...now I have a community of peers who can give me feedback and who I can collaborate with.”

Through rosetta., I have grown both personally and professionally by learning how to navigate a studio session effectively. Before, I often felt isolated in my work, but now I have a community of peers who can give me feedback and who I can collaborate with.
“Because we listened so attentively to music, my hearing has sharpened.”
Starting in a DAW can be intimidating because there are so many possibilities. It's so cool to notice when you start to understand the interface and develop your own toolkit. Because we listened so attentively to music, my hearing has sharpened. I also have a broader knowledge of production now, which helps me produce more intentionally.
