FLIP
All students will use the ios and Android app FLIP as the primary music making tool during the course of this workshop.
Flip is a phone and tablet sampler designed by Youtuber Andrew Huang to help you be fast in your production process.
Music ideas sometimes arise as waves and it can be challenging to capture them when they spark.
With FLIP, you’ll be able to create faster and never miss an idea that bubbles up again.
