Computer Producer FAQ; Music Production School, Learn Audio Recording

When our training program first started over five years ago, we started with ‘in studio’ training in Atlanta. It took students a year and a half to complete.

Then we switched to online and phone training where we would log in directly to the student’s computer and walk them through every step. This process took students eight months to complete the program.

Now, with over 10 years experience in the music business,
we have consolodated all of our training programs and information into this new
Music Production Program that takes only 7 weeks to complete!

This Music Production School Training Program is unlike any "online training" or "video tutorial" or 'audio school' and can be done 100% through the internet.

It is the only school offering all these features in one affordable package:

Basic Music Theory
Piano Lessons
Ear Training
Sound Design
Compression, EQ, Effects
Outboard Gear and Plugins
Mixing and Mastering
Starting your Music Business
Music Marketing and Promotion

The Bottom Line:

This Program is focused on unlocking all aspects of music production and engineering and taking out all the technicalities so you can be more creative. You will also be given valuable learning tools you can apply to any aspect of your life.

This Program is not only about unlocking the technicalities of creating music but also the challenge. Your fears, insecurities, even childhood issues will come up. In order for your music to grow technically and creatively, you’ll need to grow yourself too.

Give yourself space, time and patience to grow. You’ll realize that you can conquer any project in life that seems overwhelming with the steps you’ll learn in this Program. Be easy on yourself and remember that you’re going for your dreams and that is half the journey!

Unlike most educational systems, this Program is customized to your schedule, learning curve and ‘life-factor’ – those things that you just can’t predict.

In other words, you don’t have to worry about missing valuable information because life happens. If you have to go out of town, need more time on homework, your work schedule changes or you just need some time to yourself, you won't miss a single bit of information!

Each week you will receive a lesson via email in the Adobe Acrobat PDF format that includes homework and reading from the program textbook. Each lesson will take approximately a week long. However, some students may need more or less time to complete the week’s lesson. Although it is not recommended, the flexibility is there so you can live your life while comfortably taking the Music Production program.

Will I get hands on training? (Back to Top)
Yes, However, In the new music industry there is no such thing as hands on.
Everything is about knowledge.

Only by having the knowledge of all the tools involved can you then be productive with hands on training.

During this Program, you will be given new information in each week’s lesson and then have homework to get your hands on training with your own equipment. You’ll also have custom email support from us directly to help you through unique troubleshooting, extra questions or any other support needed during the Program.

Why should I take this Program?(Back to Top)
To achieve your music dream RIGHT NOW!

Other school systems are charging $8,000 to $40,000 for less information!
95% of students who learn from these overpriced schools will never use the equipment they were taught on again.

Just think about what this program will do for you in a short amount of time..

You can get a complete music production and recording studio AND
complete your music production and engineering training in only 7 weeks!

Whether you’re a professional or a hobbyist, you’ll have these skills forever.
For the rest of your life, you will have the opportunity to make money from your music productions and engineering skills.

How?

When you go to a college, music institute, studio, or any other place to learn, you lose knowledge in the translation. In other words, after class you have to come home, translate, integrate and then apply everything you learned to your own equipment, circumstance and goals.

Since the Program will address your own personal studio, you will have no questions at the end of the program because you’ll know where to find the answers. In fact, you’ll be able to unlock gear from any studio you work in. We have trained people through the phone and internet on equipment we never physically used by using these same methods!

Wouldn’t you like to complete this training program which took us over 10 years to create in only 7 weeks?

What if I want to re-locate to a better City for my Style of Music?
(Back to Top)

For students living at home or if you have your own spot already, there is no need to relocate to a better music town until you have completed your training and have setup your music business.

If you think about it, you are just delaying your music dreams/goals...
Some people never get to live their dreams after getting out on their own!

That decision alone WILL put your music career behind 1-3 years - minimally.
Right now, you have a place to stay and more time than ever in comparison to changing locations, making a move on your own to a new city and the additional time lost and expenses for relocating.

Once you’ve completed this program, invested in your studio equipment and
music business, you can choose to live where you want because you will take your business with you wherever you go!

Every decision you make NOW ultimately affects how easy or hard the future will be for you in achieving your dreams.

Actually, internet speed is of no matter for this program.

All project files and course material including the Bonus Pack can be mailed to you if you don't have hi-speed internet. In fact, all you need is to have an email account in order to receive the course in Adobe Acrobat PDF format. You’ll also be sending/receiving emails for questions, more information and support.

We have set this program up so you are not required to spend additional monies on traveling expenses and don’t lose information due to translation when working in another location. You’ll get plenty of hands on training in your own studio with your very own personal coach via email support through the entire program.

Depending on what payment plan you choose, you can even get lifetime tech support during and after the program is completed!

Can I get certified for this course? (Back to Top)
Yes, you will receive a certificate for this program. However,
the most important aspect of getting into the music industry
is knowledge.

Knowledge is what will get you the job.

Can I get a job after this Program? (Back to Top)
Instead of getting a job, you’ll be able to start your own music business.
That’s better than getting a job! At the end of this Program we guarantee you will be able to work in any studio, produce your own music, record clients/yourself, mix, master your material and also create an objective marketing plan for your music.

What if I don’t play an instrument or know anything
about music theory? (Back to Top)
No problem. You can learn it along the way! This Program includes free piano lessons, basic music theory and also Computer Producer’s Laymen’s music theory and ear training. No matter what you don’t know, you’ll be able to unlock it.

Do I need a PC or MAC?(Back to Top)
If you grew up with a PC, stay on a PC. If a Mac, stay on a Mac. No matter what anyone says, today, all systems are equally powerful. It’s better to stick with what you are familiar with as you have plenty to learn already. Adding a new platform will just complicate the process. Remember, a new computer means learning new navigation, compatibility, new bugs and new issues.

Do I really need ProTools? (Back to Top)
The story of ProTools popularity comes from the TDM & HD DSP based systems. Meaning the system uses hardware instead of relying solely on the computer’s memory resources. Now that computers are very powerful the extra expense of these systems are no longer needed. ProTools LE is what most people are familiar with these days. It offers only 32 tracks with no unlimited track capability, EQ is not on every track, and midi editing & capabilities are one of the poorest in the market. Most people use ProTools and another sequencer which is just another expense of time and money. The interface and tools are not user friendly to a beginning producer either. ProTools gets our least favorite rating and has for many years because of these shortcomings. Don’t get us wrong though, if you are using it and it works for you that is great. However, if you are getting started, it is not user friendly and is a system that can easily be outgrown.

We highly recommend Steinberg’s Cubase. Steinberg first created the VST (virtual studio technology) that revolutionized software synthesis. Cubase also works flawlessly with Midi and Audio synchronization, unlimited tracks, EQ on every track, 3 mixer interfaces, and is also bundled with Yamaha’s Motif Keyboard sounds in the Halion One VST instrument in Cubase 4. Not to mention, Cubase (Nuendo & Ableton Live) are the only programs that record in 32 bit. 32 bit is not a hardware conversion but a software one that gives double the amount of headroom, no clipping when recording, and also provides an analog tape saturation effect that gives vocals and instruments natural warmth – yes digital warmth! Cubase also offers surround sound mixing capabilities and an advanced ‘control room’ for specific headphone mix routing capabilities when tracking a full band. Cubase is our top recommendation and has been for years. It is the easiest to begin engineering with or continue on a professional level. We have witnessed MANY students transfer from ProTools, Logic, Sonar and were more creative afterwards without any limitations, technicalities or bugs.

Will I learn everything from scratch and Gain the Experience I need to work on my own? (Back to Top)

You’ll be gaining hands on experience and knowledge through every lesson with our custom support through the entire process.

You’ll love the mixing lesson too especially since this program is

be completing 3 mixes for homework and then mastering them in the 7th lesson:
1st Mix: to get experience with working on a client mix
2nd Mix: to get experience with making your own track and remixing/adding vocals

In total, you’ll create 6-7 tracks through the duration of the program. That is almost an album’s worth of material to release through your own music business!

What is the Catch? (Back to Top)
This program is not your typical or conventional education. There is no huge faculty, there is no physical location to attend the program. We run an independent music business that was started from the ground up.

We can’t make you a star but we will show you how to achieve your dreams and goals in the music industry. The rest is up to you.

What about Music Equipment;
Do I need it to get started? Do I buy it from you?(Back to Top)

The goal is to get every component needed to operate a full fledge recording and music production studio AND the education to run it successfully.

If you're just beginning and need to purchase music equipment or are intermediate to advanced and think you need additional gear, we recommend purchasing equipment during the program only.

The first week’s lesson “Developing a Relationship with your Music Equipment” will show you step by step what to purchase and why. There is some gear you can skimp on and other equipment you cannot. From there, you will get direct support from us on getting the best priced gear and choosing exactly what you need without spending a penny more than what’s needed.

If you do not learn on your own equipment, in your own studio environment and at your own pace, how can you permanently retain this life changing information and put it to use when and where you wish?

Let us take the hassle out of everything, answer all of your questions and ensure you get the most professional equipment at the best price. This will ensure you protect your budget and don’t purchase things you will not use in the future. After the program, you'll never need to ask for advice on what to get and when to get it ever again!

What if I already have Equipment and am Intermediate to Advanced at Music Production and Engineering? (Back to Top)
This Program is even more of a bonus! This is a chance for you to finalize your foundation, terminology, workflow and learn tips and tricks from the ground up.

You'll get rid of the technology hassles and bring pure creativity back to your music production and engineering.

With the crucial information this Program has to offer, you'll be able to unlock Compression, EQ, Effects, Outboard Gear, Plugins, Mixing, and Mastering to the industry standard level using your own studio equipment!
