In this exciting workshop led by Jürgen Ernst, we will deal intensively with the design of electronic music. Our particular focus is on how the use of digital audio workstations (DAWs) and hardware synthesizers influences the way electronic music is composed.

Jürgen Ernst, a renowned expert and long-time producer in the electronic music scene, will guide us through this workshop. His extensive experience and deep understanding of the subject matter make him an excellent workshop leader who is able to convey complex concepts in an understandable way.

Deciding whether to focus on DAWs or hardware synthesizers when composing electronic music is crucial. In the coming hours we will explore this aspect in more depth to give participants a clear understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of both approaches.

We will use practical examples and arrangements to demonstrate the different possibilities of musical creation. Jürgen Ernst will help us highlight the differences and unique benefits of DAWs and hardware synthesizers. From sound synthesis to song structure, we’ll explore every aspect of electronic music production.

An important factor we will consider is the creative flexibility that DAWs offer. They enable unprecedented control over the entire production process, from recording and editing to mixing and mastering. Jürgen will show us how we can use these advantages to implement our creative ideas in the best possible way.

On the other hand, we will explore the unique sound characteristics and haptic experience of hardware synthesizers. Jürgen will show how these physical devices can bring a very unique dimension to music production and how they incorporate a special character into sound production.

By the end of the workshop, participants will have a deeper understanding of how to effectively utilize the benefits of DAWs and hardware synthesizers to compose their own electronic music. We are looking forward to embarking on the creative journey with Jürgen Ernst and exploring the electronic music world in all its diversity.
