How do some producers make pro-level drum and bass in less than a year of producing?
It’s not that they have a musical background.
It’s not that they have fancy production equipment.
And it’s definitely not because they’ve already accumulated 10,000 hours of practice.
Actually, it’s the complete opposite…
As a new producer you think of your progress like this:
But in reality it's something like this:
You get a little bit of progress in the start.
This could be because you’ve seen a bunch of YouTube tutorials…
Or you’re buying new plugins and sample packs…
But shortly after, you plateau.
This is because you’re not translating the information into knowledge that will take you to the next level.
The solution?
Conscious Learning
Start by taking action with producing.
When you hit a roadblock, take the time to learn about that problem and solve it.
Repeat this process over again and your progress will end up looking like this:
Taking the time to learn new concepts and develop a skillset WHILE applying it to your music is what makes the difference.
This way you will position yourself into a positive feedback loop of working smarter not harder.
Now the problem arises...
You’ve tried to browse the web in search of well-structured and comprehensive educational material only to find yourself back on YouTube.
While YouTube can be helpful, there is one big risk you’re taking: Bad education can waste your time and set you back months or even years.
On the other hand, the right education can fast-track the process and get you creating music that you’re proud of.

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.
