Music Production Masterclasses for FREE on Twitch

Twitch is famously known for gamers, the occasional poker match, and now the rise of live stream DJ sets, and with this newfound popularity of live streaming in the music industry, come new types of content to watch. 

Whether you’re an aspiring recording artist, engineer, or producer, there is a masterclass for you on Twitch, where you can get a glimpse into another artist’s creative process and learn some neat tips and tricks for using different DAWs (digital audio workstations) such as Ableton, Logic, Reason, and more. In addition to this, you can see their problem-solving skills and different ways to tackle beats you aren’t fully familiar with. 

The really helpful aspect of using Twitch to learn these programs, in comparison to recorded videos such as those on YouTube, is that you get to ask questions in real-time and engage with the artist hosting the class as you follow along. 

In the past, some famous producers to showcase their creative process on the platform include DJs such as Darude, Deadmau5, and Medasin. But you can also find Twitch famous users such as Kenny Beats who has grown his community to over 100,000 subscribers or Illmind, the 2x Grammy-winning producer for large artists such as Drake, Kanye, 50 Cent, Ariana Grande, etc. 

The COVID months are what brought many music lovers to be viewers on the platform Twitch, but now with this uprising of new informational content, it has the possibility to create the next generation of producers.
