Master the Fundamentals of Electronic Music Production by Finishing 4 Songs in 30 days

Fast-track your music production journey. Transform your skills in every area of production. Go from confused & stuck to confident & driven. Do it all in 30 days, or at your own pace.

How do some producers make great music after just one year of producing?
It’s not that they’re more talented.

It’s not that they have more money.

And it’s not even necessarily that they have more time…

The answer? It’s how they learn and practice.

The most successful new producers have these things in common:
They work quickly and focus on finishing songs (not just starting ’em)
They develop real skills rather than picking up a bunch of random techniques from YouTube tutorials
They build habits that help them learn quickly and practice effectively
But most importantly, they get a good start.

They get the right education and advice from the get-go.

This saves them hundreds of hours of time over the course of their journey.

It helps them forge good habits (and avoid bad ones). And it’s a lot less frustrating than the path most new producers take.

If you’re a new producer, you’re likely thinking about all of this. Anxiously.

You love electronic music, and you want to produce music that you enjoy. Music that you’re proud to show others.

But you just can’t seem to gain traction.

You’ve read a few articles… watched a few videos…

But instead of giving you answers, they left you with more questions.

Or maybe you’ve already tried. You’ve taken an online course or program, but it was too confusing (and if you’re honest, a bit boring).

All YOU want to do is skip the nonsense and start off on the right foot.

Introducing: EDM Foundations
The #1 online course that teaches electronic music production through action and practice
You do not become a good producer by being fed endless amounts of information.

You become a good producer when you put concepts into practice, over and over again.

Anyone can read a book about writing melodies and come away with more knowledge. But the producers who consistently write great melodies? They’ve done it over and over again. They’ve developed the skill of melody writing.

The best course of action for learning production should focus on exactly this: skill development, intuitive learning, finishing songs, and having fun.

In other words, a course that actually helps.

That’s what EDM Foundations is.

It’s an in-depth, self-paced online course that teaches you the basics of everything you need to know about electronic music production.

You’ll start with the fundamentals and progressively learn more complex and advanced techniques and concepts as you progress through the course.

You won’t get overwhelmed, and you won’t get bored. We’ll walk you through everything.

Once you’ve gone through the course, you’ll have 4 finished songs that you can share with others.

Here’s How it Works
EDM Foundations is a practical course. You’ll spend 90% of your time in your DAW following along step-by-step with what we’re doing, learning as you go.

By the end of the course, you’ll have developed four core production skills:

1. Idea Generation
You’ll be able to write catchy melodies, craft solid chord progressions, program detailed drum sequences, and more.

2. Arrangement
You’ll know how to turn an idea into a full song, create build-ups, use tension & energy, and keep the listener interested.

3. Sound Design
You’ll understand the tools & techniques used to make unique sounds, as well as audio manipulation and sample tweaking/refinement.

4. Mixing
You’ll know how to use faders and effects to balance the instruments and sounds in your song, making it sound clear and polished.

You’ll develop these skills through copying, repetition, and experimentation.

Here’s how: we’ll work on four full songs together throughout the course. Essentially, we’ll walk you through the song creation process, step-by-step, from start to finish, three times.

Each song should take roughly one week to complete (though, you’re welcome to go at your own pace. There’s no deadline). After the course, we’ll give you guidance on how to produce your own original.

What You’ll Learn in Each Module & Project
Introductory Modules
If you’re completely new to production, or even music as a whole, these first two modules will quickly help you understand how a D.A.W (Digital Audio Workstation) works and also how music fundamentally works.

MODULE 1
Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) Basics
For Ableton Live & FL Studio
Whether you’re an FL Studio or Ableton Live user, we’ll help you master the fundamentals of your DAW and quickly build a professional workflow.

You’ll learn:

How DAWs work (it’s less complicated than you think)
The best way to set up FL Studio or Ableton Live
How to best navigate the interface and build a workflow

MODULE 2
Music Theory Basics
Most new producers skip learning music theory. Bad idea. This module will run you through what you need to know about music theory in less than one hour.

You’ll learn:

How the major and minor scales work
The importance of intervals and how to use them
How to build chords and chord progressions

Step-by-Step Project Walkthrough Modules
After learning the basics, you’ll dive in to the four walkthrough projects. You’ll download the resource files, be given a quick overview, and then I’ll walk you through each step.

(full syllabus available below this section)

MODULE 3
Project 1: Future Bass

In the first project, you’ll learn the fundamentals of chord writing, vocal arrangement, and track arrangement. Specifically, we’ll focus on building a powerful drop by layering multiple instruments.

You’ll learn:

How to arrange and layer multiple instruments
The secrets behind an energetic and engaging arrangement
The foundational approach to getting a clean mixdown
MODULE 4
Project 2: House

Having learned the basics during project one, we’ll step things up in the second walkthrough and focus heavily on building a powerful house groove. In this project, we’ll spend most of our time programming a solid drum loop and layering bass instruments.

You’ll learn:

How to create a powerful groove with just drums and bass
Layering techniques to create a “wall of sound”
How to build tension and energy into a drop
MODULE 5
Project 3: Melodic Bass

The third project is an instrumental one, which means we have to compensate with our composition and percussive programming to keep the song interesting. We’ll do this again through layering, careful placement of sounds, and an impactful drum sequence.

You’ll learn:

How to layer drums for maximum impact
Creating a unique second drop (using existing elements)
Techniques and tactics for keeping your arrangement interesting
MODULE 6
Project 4: Future Pop

Our final project is by far the most complex track to produce, but it’s also the most rewarding. You’ll be using a professionally recorded vocal to start with, arranging elements and instruments around it. We’ll focus heavily on instrumentation and layering to build the hit.

You’ll learn:

How to build a song around a vocal
Group processing and mixing for clarity and punch
How to take a project from average to great
