About

Hey there!  My name is Mike (MikeRat, Skavi) and I've been producing music since 2007.  I've been a musician my entire life (piano, drums), but when I discovered electronic music production I knew I had found my niche.  Since then I've gotten to play some legendary venues like The Black Box, First Avenue, The Armory, as well as being a resident performer of Infrasound Music Festival.  It's been a fun ride that I'm lucky gets to continue to this day!

10 years ago I began teaching Ableton Live professionally at an Ableton certified training center, and realized that's where my passion lies.  Helping students make the music of their dreams has been my own dream come true, and I want to help you realize your creative endeavors through a shared love of music production.  I look forward to working with you!

Teaching Style

We can cover a huge range of topics, including sound design, arrangement, workflow, sampling, custom rack settings, mixing and mastering, career mentorship, experimental techniques, and pretty much anything else you can think of!

I teach using Zoom Pro, so we should be able to record our sessions so I can hand the recording back off to you when we're done.

Curriculum

Just have an internet connection, Zoom, and access to Ableton Live!
