ELECTRONIC MUSIC PRODUCTION PROGRAM
LEVEL 1 – Beginner
LEVEL 1 — Producer Beginner Course
Your foundation. 3 months. Live and in person in Berlin & Cologne.
In Level 1 you build the technical and musical foundation to produce your own tracks. Three hours a week, small groups, hands-on guidance — no tutorials, no self-study, but direct exchange with producers who do this every day.
You won’t learn Ableton Live as a software walkthrough, but as a tool. Step by step we work through sound design, arrangement, beat producing, harmony and audio engineering — and most importantly: how to put those building blocks together into a finished track.
What you’ll be able to do after 3 months
- bring your first own tracks from the initial idea to a finished arrangement
- choose and shape sounds with intent, instead of scrolling through presets
- work cleanly with mixer, compressor, EQ and plug-ins
- develop a workflow that fits you — not YouTube
Who Level 1 is for
For anyone serious about learning to produce and looking for a solid foundation. No prior knowledge required. What you bring: drive to work, a laptop, headphones.
What comes next
Level 1 stands on its own — at the end you’ll have tracks you can keep building on. If you want to go deeper, Level 2 takes you into Advanced Production, followed by the Masterclass focused on release and pro workflow. Step by step.

LEVEL 2 – ADVANCED
LEVEL 2 — Producer Advanced Course
Deeper into the craft. 3 months. Live and in person in Berlin & Cologne.
Level 2 is for everyone who’s already producing and wants to take their tracks to the next level. Three hours a week, small groups, hands-on guidance. Direct exchange with producers who work in the studio every day.
We go deeper into sound design, mixdown and mastering basics — and work step by step through what makes a track release-ready. You’ll learn how to develop your signature sound instead of getting lost in the plugin jungle. We work with third-party plug-ins and show you how to use them with intent, instead of just collecting them.
What you’ll be able to do after 3 months
- structure and arrange tracks that hold up as complete pieces
- work with advanced sound design, sampling and synthesis to build your own sounds
- create clean mixdowns that translate across different systems
- use plug-ins with focus — and run a workflow that doesn’t slow you down
Who Level 2 is for
For producers with prior experience. You don’t have to have completed Level 1, but you should know what you’re doing. Any DAW works — Ableton Live, FL Studio, Logic, Bitwig — as long as you know it well. Not sure if your level fits? Send us a SoundCloud link, we’ll give you an honest assessment.
