El curso es excelente, superó mis expectativas. Un lujo conocer a un artista como Alejo Stivel y el paso a paso de la creación de la canción "19 días y 500 noches", escuchando pista por pista. 100% recomendado tanto para iniciarse en la producción musical como para quienes cuenten con experiencia.

PlusIt was fascinating to gain insights into how a successful song is produced. While I had hoped for more discussion on general arrangement techniques and how to build emotion through them, it was still highly engaging to see a deep dive into the production of a single track.
