Does this sound familiar?
🎧 "I can't get the sound I hear in my head into my DAW"
You know exactly what you want, but no matter how many samples or presets you flip through, nothing hits the mark. It’s frustrating, and it stalls your creativity.
🎧 "My track never sounds as good as my references"
You’ve got the vision. You’ve got the reference tracks. But your mix still falls short. What’s missing? We’ll show you exactly how to bridge that gap.
🎧 "I’m stuck in the loop—I can’t finish songs"
You’ve got killer ideas, but when it’s time to arrange and finish, you hit a wall. Hours wasted, with nothing to show for it. That ends now.
🎧 "Mixing and mastering feels overwhelming"
All those technical details? EQ, compression, mastering chains? It feels like too much. But it doesn’t have to be. We’ll make it simple and straightforward.

DNB Foundations is for you if...
- You have been watching endless YouTube tutorials searching for the answers that will allow you to create the music that you know and love, but you still can't figure it out.
- You can sense when something doesn't sound right in your mix, but you can't always identify exactly what it is. When you can identify it, you're not sure how to fix it.
- You don't have much of a production process or workflow. You feel overwhelmed, and it holds you back from finishing music because you can't push through the last stages of your tracks.
- You have an idea of what EQ and Reverb do, but you're not entirely sure when and where to use them. When you think you need to use them, you have no idea which settings to use.
- You've shown your music to your friends and peers but they don't react with your music as they do with professional tracks.
- You're struggling to create your own original sounds and are still relying on using samples and presets to create your music.
- You keep creating new ideas and getting stuck in the 16 bar / 32 bar loop without ever developing a full release worthy song.
