Note: This course does not cover DAW basics and is not for complete beginners. It is best for producers who can get around their DAW and want to improve their ability to make sounds in a synth, use automations to create movement, and refine their workflows for finishing songs.
I made this course because I love making electronic music.
But for years, I wasn’t that great at it.
I’d watch tutorials and try to emulate the sounds (poorly).
I’d browse presets looking for the one sound that would fix it all.
This almost never worked.
Then I realized why: I wasn’t thinking like an electronic producer.
So I started studying songs and practicing a lot... and I began to see patterns.
Reese basses. Supersaws. Arpeggio plucks. Chord wobblers.
Once I started recognizing and categorizing them, I began to hear them everywhere.
It was like learning the color palette behind so much electronic music.
I started to feel more free in my synth design, confident in my automations, and more creative overall.
So I recorded tutorials on what I'd learned - partly to organize my thoughts, partly to share with students.
Now they’re all here, in this course.
It's not about chasing the latest sound design trend.
It's about the foundational ideas that keep showing up.
Sound categories, arrangements, LFO automations...
These ideas have helped me finish electronic music across styles: EDM, pop, future bass, house, even video game tracks.
I don’t promise this course will make you the next superstar electronic producer.
(if it does, please DM me)
What I can promise is that if you’ve felt stuck, uninspired, or confused while making melodic electronic music - this will help you move forward again.
