I share everything I know with you. Everything I teach you in this course has taken me years to learn. You’re gaining 10+ years of music production knowledge in one complete course.
The music industry is an extremely closed and competitive one. I don’t think that’s fair. If more producers were aware of the production secrets behind professional tracks, we’d have a lot more talented musicians in the EDM community!
What’s in it for me? Personally, I dislike the competitive community that music producers find themselves in. I want to share my knowledge with other producers so that they may grow, learn, and teach me new techniques as well. I also have a passion for teaching, and whenever I see a student succeed with something, it gives me a great feeling – like an addiction!
So if you’re ready to learn professional electronic music production, theory, composition, mixing, and mastering, take the course and take your skills to the next level.
