I live in xxxx is that a problem?

We're based in Melbourne, Australia but run a classes via Muse and Zoom as well

We current have students in Sydney, Bali, England and  taught clients in the USA and New Zealand.

What do I need for the course?

No, you don’t need a specific DAW or plugins. All the information you will learn will be universal across any platform.

Live classes are taught on your preferred DAWs

The course uses a combination of stock plugins, free to download plugins (I’ve included in the course), and some paid plugins used for demonstration and visual purposes.

How are the classes structured?

We use both live 1 to 1 classes where you can ask questions, get feedback and digital content like video and pdfs to help the learning really stick.

How long will it take to work through the course?

As long as you like really.

We offer flexible delivery so you can take classes as it suits your life.

Most new students work through each of our 8 module course over about 14 weeks -

Each module acts as a building block for the next. Ideally, Aside from our regular 1 to 1 sessions we recommend setting aside an 1 to 2 hours a week to go through the modules, plus additional time to implement what you learn.

Why learn with us?

We love music, audio production, education and help people get to where they want to go.

All our classes are design around our client and 1 to 1 means you get there faster...

I only want to know how (insert specfic) thing works I am happy learning on my own? Can I do a one off class?

Absolutely fine. Sometimes people just want to improve their knowledge around a synth or plugin rather than regularly attended classes.


We love that and run 1 to 1 flexible classes.

Just some of the things we have taught custom classes on:

- How to make music in a specific style
- Improving your drum programming
- Slicing Drum breaks for jungle/dnb
- Bassline design/Bass speaker translation
- Sync visuals to Dj sets
- Understanding compression
- EQ best practice and EQ types
- Immersion/interactive audio for theatre or spaces
- Ableton Live sets
- Music theory for Dance music
- Understanding Music and Modes
- DJing with Ableton
- Creating Backing tracks for live shows
- Introduction to specific hardware
- Introduction to specific software such as reaktor or serum
- Mix and production reviews
- Genre based sound design techniques
- Setting up interface and getting started
- Pedals and amp simulator
- Advanced Midi Controller remapping
- plus more...


What genres do you teach?

Classes are focused on you and your music journey.

We have found that people want to learn about the style they love but don't know how it is put together.

Current we have students doing - Trap/Modern Hiphop, Afro, Big-room Psy, Raw techno, 80's Noise rock and Idm, Organic house, Stutter/low-fi house, Progressive house, Indie dance, house, Tech house, 00 era Electro/Breakbeat, Rusko era Dubstep, Melodic Techno.

Previously we have had students doing Classic EDM, Modern EDM, Hybrid Trap, Bass house, Boom Bap era Hip hop plus more...we just love music at the end of the day and we want you to learn things about music you love and who know maybe one day you'll love Abba as much as us.

For beginners we shape your introduction to music production around your favourite styles alongside foundation to make music in any genre. For advance students we don't just teach you how a DAW works instead we dive into the styles of the genres so you can really get the sound you want to here.

What if I hate music production classes do I have to finish it?

Obviously not...

We hope you love it as much as us.

If life happens and you need to stop classes totally ok.

You don't need to complete the course.

With us you pay for each module as you go.

This means no big upfront fee

Can I find the same information online for free? Why would I get a teacher

If you spend enough time, you can dig up just about anything on Google.

The problem is, you’ll likely find misleading and conflicting information (and waste a lot of time doing it).

This means people offer spend time on the wrong things for their current skillset or just watching random videos not actually making any music.With a good coach who actually cares about your progress you actually MAKE progress.

We keep up with the latest technology, genres styles and best practices so you don’t have to worry about your learning plan.

We hear all the time from students it's not just the teaching it's the accountability that really help get where them where they want to go...

I'm not sure classes are right for me? Can I have a free sample?

Totally understand.
