FL Class | San Francisco
FL Studio Course
Build Beats. Shape Sound. Finish Tracks.
FL Studio has become a go-to DAW for electronic music producers and beat-makers around the world—but whatever your genre, if FL is your weapon of choice, and you want your name on this list of notable users, this course will give you the tools and confidence to have the best chance.
Taught at our San Francisco studio, the FL Class keeps groups small enough that every student gets real time at the controls. Bay Area producers lead the sessions, and the identical course can be taken live online if that suits you better, using our specialist music collaboration software, Muse.
