INTRODUCING THE...

Song Finishing Accelerator ๐Ÿš€

The Song Finishing Accelerator is a 4-week live, interactive online program.

AN EDMPROD PROGRAM:

How the Song Finishing Accelerator works ๐Ÿš€

The Song Finishing Accelerator is a 4-week live, interactive online program that runs for 28 days. Cohort 4 will run from August 3rd to September 3rd.
ย 
My goal is to give you the training, resources, and guidance to help you finish 4 original songs in 4 weeks.
ย 
It won’t be easy, but it will be one of the best things you can do for your music career. Here’s why:
ย 
  1. You’ll develop the lifelong habit of finishing. After the course, you’ll have the skills, tactics, and confidence to go ahead and be a prolific producer ๐Ÿ’ช
  2. You’ll be able to transform the unfinished ideas sitting around on your computer into real, finished songs ๐Ÿ’ฟ
  3. You’ll have something tangible to show for all your effort ๐ŸŽง
ย 
The most important thing you can do as part of Song Finishing Accelerator is the assignments: working on a project and finishing itโ€”no matter how “good” it sounds to youโ€”and improving with each one.
ย 
You’ll get feedback from the community as you go, as well as expert feedback at the end of each week’s project –ย showing you how to improve.
ย 
The core content of the course, The Song Finishing Engine, is what we’ll be teaching in the live sessions. This is where you’ll learn my system for finishing music repeatedly and to an ever-increasing standard.

“This program is great because it’s hands-on with your own music. You’ll write 4 songs in 4 weeks, improve your workflow, and get lots of personalized feedback on your own music. The best way to learn is by doing, and this class is a great way to improve, no matter what kind of music you write or what level you’re at. Thanks EDMProd!”

Steve Dill

The 6 key components of SFA ๐Ÿ‘€

#1: The Song Finishing Engine

Upgrade Your Workflow with 90-Minute Interactive Live Sessions (2x Week) ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿ’ป

I will teach the core content of the course in 2 live sessions per week – on Monday 5PM PT/8PM ET & Thursday 5PM PT/8PM ET.ย Each live session is 90 minutes and will be hosted over a private Zoom session.
ย 
And if you can’t make it, don’t worry. Each live session is recorded and can be watched back.
ย 
The structure of each live session is:
  • 60 mins of teaching
  • 30 mins of Q&A

#2: Weekly Projects

Finish 1-4 Projects Over 4 Weeks (Using A Proven System) ๐Ÿ—‚๏ธ

This is the most important part of the course.
ย 
Each week, I’ll set a project assignment so that by the end of the course you’ll have finished up to 4 original songs that you can share with others, and even release to the world.
ย 
These projects will be theme-based, but you are more than welcome to “take the reigns” so to speak, and deviate from the theme.
ย 
The projects are completed using the IDAR System (more on this soon) so you can effectively generate ideas, develop them to a high level, flesh them out into a full arrangement and refine them into a professional, finished track.

#3: Feedback

Get Tailored Expert Feedback on Your Projects (1x Week) ๐Ÿ’ฌ

Each week, you’ll have the opportunity to get personalized feedback on your song from me, Aden.
ย 
This is a 10-min video where I record myself listening to your track,ย analysing it (from theย composition to the mix) and giving specific advice.
ย 
You can ask for this at any time during the week, but we strongly recommend you do it near the end of your project (feedback becomes most valuable when you’re at the 80-90% stage).
ย 
You can send the same song multiple times if you’re finishing less than 4 songs.

#4: Community & Accountability

Join a Thriving Community of Producers (Private Discord Server) ๐Ÿ‘ฅ

Not only do I offer personalized 1-on-1 feedback for each project, but if you want to get feedback as you’re working on your project, the best way to do so is by asking within the community.
ย 
You’ll be able to see how everyone is approaching their songs, get inspiration for new ideas, and fill in those knowledge gaps.

#5: Training Library

Go Deeper with Members-Only Training Videos ๐Ÿ’ป

Inevitably, you’ll encounter specific problems and weaknesses along the journey of the Song Finishing Accelerator.ย 
So you’ll need on-demand resources to help combat these problems.
ย 
This is where you’ll find the recorded live training sessions along with a library of extra tutorials and resources that will help you with finishing songs.
ย 
We will also be developing these as we go, which means they’re adapted to your specific problems.
Plugins in DAW

#6: 1-on-1 Sessions + EMAIL MENTORING (Elite Only)

Dive Deep Into Your Projects via 1-on-1 Sessions with Aden (x4) ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿ’ป

If you choose to sign up for the Elite package, you’ll also get access to 4x 1-on-1 sessions where we can go deeper with feedback, dissect your project and get detailed about how you can make better music.
ย 
On top of this, you can get unlimited email feedback and mentoring for the entire 4 weeks, so you’re never left in the dark.

โ€œI have received tremendous value by enrolling into this cohort. There is a palpable energy that arises when you are working with like minded individuals toward the same goal, and this program helps foster that energy.

Unlike other masterclasses with passive video watching, this program requires you to put in the work and engage in a community. The more you put into it, the more that the EDMProd team can help you succeed. I cannot recommend it enough.โ€

Bonus #6: 7-Day Song Finishing System Course

Want everything you learn in SFA to be wrapped up into one repeatable package? That’s exactly what the 7-Day Song Finishing Plan is.

“I’m a relatively new producer and had never fully finished a track in my life. SFA created the perfect environment for me to push myself and feel motivated to finish music on a deadline which produced such incredible results.

By week 2 I was making the best music I had ever made. SFA forced me to exercise muscles that had never been used before and the results were almost hard to believe.

After finishing SFA Im suddenly making music that I thought was at least 1-2 more years worth of hard work away. I highly recommend this course, I got way better at producing music and it was a lot of fun.”

โ€œTo be honest, SFA was exactly what I was looking for… I’ve signed up for so many online courses and have really struggled to stay consistent and get through the content. But the biggest challenge has always been that most courses don’t teach you how to finish your own music.

At the beginning of Song Finishing Accelerator, I had only ever finished 3 tracks which were all based off of start to finish courses, but by the end of the cohort I had finished 4 original songs. I’ve learned so much along the way, and the awesome part is that now I know which other areas I need to focus on (sound design, arrangement, mixing, etc.) and most importantly, I feel confident I’ll be able to incorporate new skills into the creative process and actually FINISH tracks.

Finishing music is the most important part to getting better, and SFA strips out all the other distractions to help you do just that!โ€

MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR

Taught by Aden Russell

AKA ARTSEA

Hey, I’m Aden. I have over 13 years of music production experience, and head up EDMProd where I’ve been helping producers for over 4 years.

Outside of that, I produce liquid drum & bass under the alias Artsea (1M+ streams), and have also produced many other genres over the years, such as lofi hip-hop, deep house and more.

I’ve been teaching music production for many years, and am excited to help you finish more music inside the Song Finishing Accelerator.

AS FEATURED ON:

10,000+ producers trust our programs ๐Ÿ”’

โ€œI have gone from spending two+ months on a track to taking two weeks to finish. Also, the quality of my tracks hasnโ€™t decreased. Instead, the quality seems to have improved now that Iโ€™m not spending so much time on things that donโ€™t matter and have shifted my focus to having fun writing music again.

I would highly recommend taking this course if you struggle with spending too much time on tracks, especially if you abandon them after all the hard work. Thanks to Aden for putting this course together. I look forward to taking it a second time!โ€

Isaiah Cottengaim

How I finished 52 tracks in one year ๐Ÿ“ˆ

If you’re a music producer, you likely struggle with one of these:

๐Ÿ’ก

Starting

You feel inspired sometimes, and enjoy sitting down and making music when this inspiration hits… but when you’re not inspired, nothing happens. You can’t seem to createย at will.

๐ŸŽ›๏ธ

Progressing

You get stuck in the loop phase and can’t arrange and structure your track. Taking your idea from good to great seems impossible because there are so many options.

โœ…

Finishing

You always abandon the project when it gets to the last 10-20% because it’s not worth finishing. You think ‘I’ll wait until my next idea is better’, but it’s never quite there…

As frustrating as these can be, you’re only human. Every producer ever has struggled with these same things.

In fact, we asked people joining our Facebook group what they struggle with the most. Here’s the data…

So trust me when I say you’re not alone.

And finishing is somethingย everyone will struggle with at one point.

Because once you learn how to start, then you have to learn how to progress.

And once you’ve done that, you have to learn how to finish.

But why are these three things so darn hard to overcome?

Behind all three of these things are one common enemy – resistance.

Resistance leads to the empty DAW…

…instead of this..

So how did these producers overcome this resistance?

I’m going to let you in on a little secret.

There IS a way you can start & finish unique, high-quality music. Rapidly.

You need a system. Something that guarantees you can finish a LOT of music while not sacrificing on creativity or enjoyment.

The good news is that this system DOES exist.

In fact, it addresses all 3 of the above issues – Starting, Progressing & Finishing.

It’s how pro producers like Martin Garrix don’t have to wait for inspiration to finish when there is a deadline to meet:

And I’ve road-tested this system.

Before I could finish music, I had nothing to show the world.

But using this system, I consistently made 52 tracks in 1 year, was able to release way more music…

…and was able to create a pool of finished music that labels wanted to sign…

…which led me to hit over 1M+ streams on Spotify.

So, what is this system?

My Secret: The IDAR System ๐Ÿ”

Idea | Develop | Arrange | Refine

The IDAR System is exactly what we use inside the Song Finishing Accelerator to help students finish one song every week.

You follow the 4 steps at a different point in the week as you work on your track.

And the best part? This system is fully flexible. It allows you to be creative, while still directing you on the path to finished, quality music.

Here’s a quick rundown:

๐Ÿง 

Idea

Coming up with good-quality original ideas that you’re proud of. The chords, melodies and basslines. The sounds you choose. The main hook.

๐Ÿ”

Develop

Improving the quality of your ideas. Changing sounds, layering new things in, doing a rough balance, and fleshing out your full loop.

๐ŸŽถ

Arrange

Going from a loop to full arrangement. Creating sections, building tension and release, creating changes over time, automation and pattern changes.

๐ŸŽ›

Refine

The last 10%, tweaking parameters slightly, the final mixdown and master, EQing, compressing and much more.

Quantity leads to quality

How many melodic anthems has San Holo made?

How many techno bangers has Charlotte de Witte made?

How many trap beats has RL Grime made?

No – not just the 100+ released songs each. I’m also talking about the ones you never heard that are still sitting somewhere on their hard drive.

My bet? Hundreds, if not thousands.

Sounds reasonable?

Then it’s no surprise they’re such ‘talented’ producers.

(Even though it’s all hard work and very little talent).

That’s because finishing a lot will lead to improving your quality a lot:

The good news? There is a package you can sign up forย today that directly implements the IDAR System, and focuses on quantity, so that you can finish high-quality music consistently…

Got questions? ๐Ÿค”

In the past, students who have finished 4 songs have gotten the most out of the program.

However, we know everyone is different. So you can also aim to finish 1 song, or 2 songs (1 per fortnight) if that works with your schedule. Finishing something is the goal here!

A finished song is something that is final. It’s fully arranged, mixed and has some sort of mastering (we’ll be using a basic mastering chain inside the program).

At the start of each week, you’ll generate the idea, and throughout the week you’ll spend time developing it into the final product.

Ultimately, it’s up to you how you define a finished song. The only real constraint is that you finish something every week, and that you feel that it’s done.

The Song Finishing Accelerator is an extremely valuable experience (not a “course”), and for this price, we believe the results you get will exceed your expectations.

You’ll be getting direct input from experienced producers in the form of live sessions, feedback and bespoke training videos.

Nope! The DAW you use is irrelevant. Although I explain the concepts using Ableton Live, you could be using FL Studio, Logic Pro X, Bitwig, Reaper, Cubase, Reason, Pro Tools or any other software!

Not every music creator has hours to spare each day.

That’s why we’ve keptย the Song Finishing Accelerator simple.

One finished song per week. You can spend as long as you need to on a track, but we recommend following the IDAR System outlined inside.

Yes, it will require consistent effort and maybe some adjustments in your schedule, but the benefits gained from this habit are powerful.

Outside of the weekly projects and live sessions, there is the community and training library that you can use for as long as needed.

If you know absolutely nothing about music production, we recommend starting with a course like EDM Foundations first.

You’ll also create 4 pre-made tracks, but we’ll step you through the entire process so you’re not left in the dark.

However, if you’ve been producing for a few weeks or months and understand the basics, then making 4 originals in 4 weeks is an extremely powerful way to learn and improve rapidly.

We recommend this to artists and producers of any skill level.

While we try our best to accommodate for multiple timezones, we know it doesn’t work for everyone.

That said, we record each and every live video session so you can watch back later.

If you need a question answered, you can always ask one of us in the community platform, or send one in advance of the video call so we can answer on there (for you to watch during the recording).

We run these cohorts every 2-3 months, but can’t guarantee exactly when the next one will be.

If you’re sitting on the fence, join!

We truly believe in this program. The same principles have worked for me and 100’s of other producers. Plus, we’re investing heaps of time into your personal development.

For this program, we offer a 100% 7-day money back guarantee. That way you have a week to see if it’s the right fit or not. If not, we’ll refund you completely.

Of course, if you wish to get your money back before the cohort starts, we’ll refund you 100% too, or give you access to the next cohort.
