WHAT YOU NEED FOR THE COURSE

Computer
Most likely your computer will fit, but it is desirable to review the requirements
Headphones and midi keyboard
Any headphones are suitable, but I would recommend something like beyerdynamic DT-990 Pro to better hear all the intricacies of mixing
Desire
Without motivation, this course will be meaningless. If there is a desire and a light inside, then you will succeed!
