Giuseppe Ottaviani is a musician who has long been regarded as ‘the producer’s producer’: a man renowned for sonically superior recordings and the hit-rate to substantiate them. Simply, with Giuseppe, music comes before all. Giuseppe’s grouped the course into 9 chapters, comprising of over 100 individual videos, which run over 16 Masterclass hours. Giuseppe discusses initial inspirations and how to approach melody, drums, bass and the fundamental aspects of track composition. He also shares his experience in mixing and mastering, whilst giving clear insights (all subtitled in English) into his arguably peerless work approach. Over the duration of the Masterclass Giuseppe builds a new track from the ground up, providing the most practical of examples and open insights into his work method. “This is not, he is keen to emphasise, about giving people a lot of tricks, quick tip tutoring bits, how-to’s, etc and saying ‘there you go!’ There is an endgame here. What I would love is for newer producers to use this as a major step towards releasing music professionally. Once you’ve taken the course and absorbed it you can download the stems for this new production and put that newfound knowledge to practical use in remixing it.
