Testimonials

With Camiel you have someone who not only knows how to produce some awesome bangers in every Genre possible, but also someone who exactly knows how to teach it to anyone at any Level. After a Session with Camiel you will feel inspired. It’s a guarantee. I have been Making Music for a good 12 years now and I still always come back from a conversation with Camiel ready to Test out new stuff I learned from him.

Camiel coached me during a trajectory in 2022, back when I was still discovering my sound and only had a couple years of experience producing music.

He really changed my mindset on how I should be approaching music. As my tunes weren’t really anything worth releasing yet, his advice was clear: create something every day.

So I did that. And the progress came. Seeing Camiel being hyped about my own progress, I started to believe I could actually make sick tunes.

Let me make this clear: I believe you are solely responsible for your sound, your music, and your work ethic. But oh boy, was it nice to have a cheerful, optimistic, inspirational, and straight-forward coach in the passenger seat with me. Even when I thought I couldn’t do it, Camiel relit the fire in me with his positive attitude and inspirational quotes that keep you going, even on your worst days in the studio 🙂

We had a great year in 2022 and remained friends ever since. Lots of his advice still pops up in my head every now and then. Such a great guy, give him all your money!

Since meeting Camiel a couple of years ago I’ve grown significantly as producer but also as a person, he gave me that mental push I needed (but didn’t know i needed) i heard the phrase once “it’s not the teaching, but the teacher” and that feels like the best way to describe his work with lessons in live, his energy, passion and honesty are contagious and have changed my life forever , highly recommend checking out lessons in live if you’re serious about growing as a producer!!

Camiel is not only an amazing person, but also someone who knows how to share his knowledge and passion in a truly inspiring way. He has helped me gain so much confidence in my own music and creative process. One of the most valuable things I’ve learned from him is to let go of the pressure to create something great and instead embrace the joy of creating itself. It’s about having fun, experimenting, and constantly rediscovering yourself along the way. Camiel has a unique way of motivating you while reminding you why you fell in love with making music in the first place.

Camiel is the best teacher! When I started the beginners lessons I had no experience whatsoever. Camiel takes everything step by step in a way that doesn’t feel overwhelming. His enthusiasm is infectious and you also learn a lot from your fellow students! Camiel is always there to give you feedback if you need it, even after the course is over. It’s called Lessons in Live but it’s really for life! I never thought I could even produce or release a track at some point, but fast forward 2,5 years and I’m studying electronic music at the conservatory & releasing tracks, and a big part of my knowledge is thanks to Camiel!! I would 10/10 recommend his courses to everyone!

Camiel’s deep knowledge and his infectious energy make you just want to make music. His tips & tricks and insights have radically changed my production process. After his course I had the feeling of being in love all over again with making music.

Camiel and I met up for a session over at my studio and he gave me various tips and a lot of knowledge at once, it was truly very useful for my hybrid setup that I tour with.

Camiel and I go way back, but reconnected when I started making music around the covid pandemic. Being part of the Dojo is like having a second family. The hangouts, feedback sessions or other calls are always so much fun. Also, Camiel is a teacher with lots of knowledge and enthusiasm…and a friend for lif(v)e.

Camiel’s Dojo was an incredible gift to me in giving community, encouragement and feedback, without which I would have really struggled to move forwards in music. He’s a patient, encouraging person who is so passionate about music and believes in every one of his students. I feel lucky to have met him and be a part of the Dojo for so many years.

This is THE way to start producing more music in Ableton Live!! I just completed the Advanced Ableton Production course with Lessons in Live. Camiel is an outstanding teacher and the whole experience was inspiring – awesome group of people, awesome music, awesomely structured lessons… hats off to Mr Daamen!

We are really satisfied with the stuff we have learned from Camiel. This guy is your go-to for anything related to Ableton and/or sound-design. In addition to that, he is a very kind, funny and genuine person to work with.

“I met Camiel at Burning Man 2019, and we instantly hit it off and started chatting about his Ableton classes, a software I had been meaning to discover for a while. Flash forward to summer 2020, and following great review from mutual friends who attended his Beginner’s course, the path was in motion. Thanks to Camiel’s infectious positive attitude and extensive knowledge of Ableton, the course was simply fantastic and I gained so much knowledge. He makes the learning process super fun, and after completing it, I was left with a thirst for more, and cannot wait to start practicing everything I learned, and continue this music production journey. Thanks brother!” [Space K, DJ]

For someone was not a fan of of technology, Camiel made Ableton a fun adventure. You rarely find an instructor that passionate and knowledgeable. I really enjoyed the Ableton course and I’m still processing everything I’ve learnt so far, because we learnt a lot on a short period. A big thumbs up!

What an Ableton wizard this guy! He really kickstarted my live setup.. something I wanted for years. Camiel makes everything look easy and simple. He will also provide you with a good dose of motivation along with it. He leaves no question unanswered. Book this guy!

Camiel Daamen has to be about the most inspirational music teacher I’ve come across in my days. I wish i had someone like him when I was young but glad to have such a fast and inspirational Ableton pro close to me.

I highly recommend following his courses as it teaches you not only the tricks and tips of ableton live, producing, mixdowns.

But most importantly gives you instant motivation to hit the studio, try new things and love the music you are making because its your own. Its about the journey and Camiel Daamen‘s methods of teaching bring you half way there..

Camiel has not only helped me with my live performance and mixdowns but also expanded my love and passion for music and production.
He gave me direction and really clean workflows that I could instantly dive into and make my performance more special, highly recommend.
