Turn an idea into a melody and a bass
The track starts with a melody. You get inspired, write the main emotional harmony and build a Reese bass, so the beat has a mood before the drums come in.

I didn't expect the course to be great…
I didn't expect the course to be great because I've been buying other producing courses earlier which I was not impressed by. But this one is a different story.
Quick and great customer support
The course is very detailed and the information is chronologically organized. It is easy to follow along and get similar results. I find it much better than binge-watching YouTube tutorials.
Bought the course Last year and in just 4 months
in just a short time I was able to build my confidence with mixing and mastering to the point that I don't guess anymore
