Welcome to Listening Edge Records Production Tutorials!

This series is all about learning Soundtrap — a versatile, affordable, and user-friendly online DAW that’s great for creating music anywhere, anytime.

I’m Trevor, a music teacher and home recording enthusiast. I studied music production over a decade ago, but now I’m revisiting everything with fresh eyes — and bringing you along for the journey!

These tutorials are about truly understanding Soundtrap: navigating the DAW, setting up projects, working with MIDI and audio, and building templates for different creative needs.

For the Amateur Home Producer

Soundtrap is a great choice if you’re starting to make music from home.

It’s affordable, accessible, and works right inside your web browser — no expensive computer needed.

We’ll cover the basics so you can feel confident recording, arranging, and experimenting with your music ideas.

For the Music Student

Exploring Soundtrap can bring your music studies into the digital world.

By recording yourself and creating layered projects, you’ll see firsthand how theory concepts like melody, harmony, rhythm, and structure play out in real time.

I often use digital audio workstations like Soundtrap in lessons to help students apply their skills creatively.

For the Music Teacher

For teachers, Soundtrap offers a fantastic way to expand lesson possibilities.

It allows students to create multi-track projects, collaborate online, and understand the bigger picture of musical arrangement.

Using Soundtrap can make learning more interactive and help students connect music theory to real-world music-making.

Whether you’re producing at home, studying music, or helping shape the next generation’s sound, Soundtrap opens up an exciting world of possibilities.
