About this class

Lofi is one of this generations most popular forms of music. Its characterised by its chilled beats, beautiful chords and awesome samples. Lofi has hit billions in streams for its relaxing, study friendly sound.

It’s a super fun genre of music to produce and is very beginner friendly as samples are encouraged and because of its ‘Lo fidelity’ sound, the mixing process is very forgiving. Its also great for non vocalist’s as most Lofi is purely instrumental.

In this class, we're going to tackle everything you need to know to write great pieces of Lofi music.

In this class you will learn about:

  • The best plugins and sounds for Lofi
  • How to create atmosphere and texture in a track
  • How to create Lofi chords
  • How to create Lofi chord progressions
  • Sampling
  • Beats
  • Lofi song development
  • Mixing Lofi
  • Mastering Lofi

By the end of this course, you'll have an excellent understanding of how to confidently write amazing Lofi music.
