what we do,
why we do it,
and why we love to do it.
For Beginners
Whether you’re dipping your toes into the production scene or you simply can’t figure out how to operate the user interface of your new DAW, QWave is here to help you deal with all your questions, troubles and insecurities. Through our masterclasses and tutorials, you’ll be able to confidently turn ideas into your own signature sound in no time.
Don’t have a DAW? Not a problem. Thanks to our partnership with Ableton, each new member gets a free copy of Ableton Live Intro after signing up!
It is often said that collaboration is one of the most effective means of learning. With this ideology as a fundamental pillar of QWave, we set out to make it as easy as ever to connect you with fellow producers on campus. Using our Collab page, we can help you find the perfect partner to work with or the most ideal mentor to learn from. If that’s not your speed, feel free to use QWave to promote your music and expand your comfort zone! Regardless of what you seek, QWave is a platform geared towards all your artistic and creative needs.
For Producers
Our weekly tutorials are the foundation on which amateur producers can begin building their music production repertoire; and with a free copy of Ableton’s Live Intro upon joining, it’s easy to hop into one of our tutorial sessions to start learning all about the free software you just earned.
Regularly scheduled masterclasses are hosted by experienced producers hailing from places as local as Kingston to industrial hubs like Toronto and New York. This allows members to gain insight on the specific approach professionals might use when starting a track and any of their go-to production techniques.
