Digital Music: Music Mixers
In Music Mixers, campers produce their own songs using Ableton Live, the same software professional producers use. No music experience needed! Campers learn how to build a track from scratch, laying down beats, adding chords and melodies, and mixing it all together. Pads, patches, reverb, and compression might sound like a foreign language on day one, but campers pick them up fast and start putting their own musical ideas to work.
They'll record with real MIDI keyboards and microphones, layering vocals, instruments, and effects into an original track. Want to remix a favorite song, make a beat that hits hard, or create sound effects for a video game? Campers can go wherever their ears take them.
New this summer! Campers also step behind real DJ controllers and learn to mix, blend, and transition between songs. By the end of the session, they'll have a finished song they made themselves, ready to play for family at Bring Your Adult to Camp Day and take home to share with friends.
