Can I learn music production with no experience?

Yes. Our fundamentals courses assume no prior knowledge and cover the core concepts before diving into a specific DAW.

What gear do I need to start producing?

A computer, a DAW and headphones are enough to begin; a basic audio interface and monitors help as you progress.

Dedicated mixing and recording courses — Pro Tools with Ciaran Robinson, pop production with Paul Whalley — cover EQ, compression, balance and workflow.

Are there courses for electronic music and DJing?
