Songwriting Incubator

4 sessions · Tuesdays, Thursdays · 2hr each

Your lab for getting a song started — and out the door

An incubator is your lab — where you put what you learn in class to work on real material, with feedback from rotating instructors and your peers. But it’s also a forcing function: you can’t produce, record, or mix a song you never wrote. So the goal here isn’t a perfect song, it’s momentum — leave with a song, even a rough one, that you can push into the Production or Recording Incubator. This is where a draft gets out of your head and into the pipeline.

Come ready to listen actively, create fearlessly, and share as you go — whether or not it’s a bop. The main ingredient of success is unabashed failure. You don’t need anything prepared to join.

Prerequisites: None. Come as you are.

I took the “FX, Synthesis, and Mix Primer” class, and it was amazing! This class covers all types of effects, such as EQ, reverb, delay, compression, tremolos, phasers, etc. Not only does the class teach what the effects are and how to use
