Collaboration in the Modern Age
About Course
Collaboration In The Modern Age is a future-forward course led by producer and digital music strategist Maxwell Hawk, created for artists, engineers, and producers navigating today’s interconnected music landscape. With remote work, livestreaming, and online collaboration now standard in the music industry, this course equips you with the skills, tools, and professionalism needed to thrive in a digitally-driven creative space. Whether you’re building beats with another producer across the world or engineering vocals for a singer from your home studio, Maxwell provides the framework for effective, high-quality, and career-building collaborations.
The course begins with a breakdown of how the industry has evolved—especially post-COVID—and how artists can strategically pivot to online work. You’ll learn how to build a “social media marketplace” for your skills, create streamlined session templates, and optimize your physical and digital setup for remote collaboration and livestreaming. These early lessons are all about making your workflow both professional and accessible from anywhere.
As the course deepens, Maxwell dives into specific collaboration scenarios: working with producers and non-vocal artists to build synergy and value, then transitioning to working with vocalists in remote environments. You’ll explore how to create a comfortable, studio-like atmosphere remotely, maintain healthy boundaries, and organize files for efficient exchange. Maxwell also highlights common pitfalls—from intellectual property concerns to professional etiquette—before wrapping up with actionable steps for bringing online clients into the real world, ensuring your final mixes are polished, and building lasting creative relationships. This course is an essential guide for turning virtual opportunities into sustainable, real-world success.
