It’s not that they’re more talented.
It’s not that they have more money.
And it’s not even necessarily that they have more time…
The answer? It’s how they learn and practice.
But most importantly, they get a good start.
They get the right education and advice from the get-go.
This saves them hundreds of hours of time over the course of their journey.
It helps them forge good habits (and avoid bad ones). And it’s a lot less frustrating than the path most new producers take.
If you’re a new producer, you’re likely thinking about all of this. Anxiously.
You love electronic music, and you want to produce music that you enjoy. Music that you’re proud to show others.
But you just can’t seem to gain traction.
You’ve read a few articles… watched a few videos…
But instead of giving you answers, they left you with more questions.
Or maybe you’ve already tried. You’ve taken an online course or program, but it was too confusing (and if you’re honest, a bit boring).
All YOU want to do is skip the nonsense and start off on the right foot.
You do not become a good producer by being fed endless amounts of information.
You become a good producer when you put concepts into practice, over and over again.
Anyone can read a book about writing melodies and come away with more knowledge. But the producers who consistently write great melodies? They’ve done it over and over again. They’ve developed the skill of melody writing.
The best course of action for learning production should focus on exactly this: skill development, intuitive learning, finishing songs, and having fun.
In other words, a course that actually helps.
That’s what EDM Foundations is.
It’s an in-depth, self-paced online course that teaches you the basics of everything you need to know about electronic music production.
You’ll start with the fundamentals and progressively learn more complex and advanced techniques and concepts as you progress through the course.
You won’t get overwhelmed, and you won’t get bored. We’ll walk you through everything.
Once you’ve gone through the course, you’ll have 4 finished songs that you can share with others.
You get full, lifetime access to the course that has helped over 5,000 producers master the fundamentals of electronic music production.
4 professional project walkthroughs that teach you production techniques and concepts step-by-step, without the frustration. All project files & resources are included.
Note: We have three versions of the course. One for Ableton Live, one for FL Studio, and one for Logic Pro X.
Quickly reference techniques and concepts with the included 100+ page guidebook (so you don’t always have to go back into and re-watch videos)
We’re not here to enroll you in the course and then forget about you. We’re committed to getting you results as a producer.
That’s why you get personalized feedback, mentorship and guidance from us course instructors during our live feedback group calls every month.
You get lifetime access to these calls, along with all the recordings. That’s thousands of dollars of value.
When you enroll in the Complete Package, you also get access to the two previous versions of EDM Foundations.
Why would you want these? Because it’s 6 extra walkthroughs. The old versions aren’t obsolete, and they’re great practice to go through after taking the new version of the course.
Want to master sound design with Serum? This 2+ hour masterclass takes you from newbie to pro. Learn the basics, then move on to advanced functions like the wavetable editor. You’ll gain a bunch of Serum workflow tips too.
If you can’t write good melodies and chord progressions, your music will sound stale. Our Songwriting Bootcamp takes you through the theory and framework behind writing great chords, progressions, and catchy melodies.
Get hours of mixing and mastering advice from world-class producer Hyperbits. This bonus includes start-to-finish walkthroughs for mixing, mastering, and stem mastering.
This program will help you develop a rock-solid creative mindset and framework for rapidly developing music production skills. If you find it hard to finish music, be creative, or you just face resistance every time you sit down to make something—this is for you.

Remixing has traditionally been seen as “easier” than producing originals. This isn’t always true. There’s an art to producing a great remix that few producers talk about, until now. This 6-module masterclass will run you through all you need to know.
Can’t finish anything? Work too slowly? The 10-Day Song Finishing Plan is a proven framework that helps you come up with an idea, then take it to completion within 10 days. If you need a blueprint, this is it.
EDM Foundations is a practical course. You’ll spend 90% of your time in your DAW following along step-by-step with what we’re doing, learning as you go.
By the end of the course, you’ll have developed four core production skills:
You’ll be able to write catchy melodies, craft solid chord progressions, program detailed drum sequences, and more.
You’ll know how to turn an idea into a full song, create build-ups, use tension & energy, and keep the listener interested.
You’ll understand the tools & techniques used to make unique sounds, as well as audio manipulation and sample tweaking/refinement.
You’ll know how to use faders and effects to balance the instruments and sounds in your song, making it sound clear and polished.
You’ll develop these skills through copying, repetition, and experimentation.
Here’s how: we’ll work on four full songs together throughout the course. Essentially, we’ll walk you through the song creation process, step-by-step, from start to finish, three times.
Each song should take roughly one week to complete (though, you’re welcome to go at your own pace. There’s no deadline). After the course, we’ll give you guidance on how to produce your own original.
If you’re completely new to production, or even music as a whole, these first two modules will quickly help you understand how a D.A.W (Digital Audio Workstation) works and also how music fundamentally works.
Whether you’re an FL Studio or Ableton Live user, we’ll help you master the fundamentals of your DAW and quickly build a professional workflow.
You’ll learn:
Most new producers skip learning music theory. Bad idea. This module will run you through what you need to know about music theory in less than one hour.
You’ll learn:
After learning the basics, you’ll dive in to the four walkthrough projects. You’ll download the resource files, be given a quick overview, and then I’ll walk you through each step.
(full syllabus available below this section)
In the first project, you’ll learn the fundamentals of chord writing, vocal arrangement, and track arrangement. Specifically, we’ll focus on building a powerful drop by layering multiple instruments.
You’ll learn:
Having learned the basics during project one, we’ll step things up in the second walkthrough and focus heavily on building a powerful house groove. In this project, we’ll spend most of our time programming a solid drum loop and layering bass instruments.
You’ll learn:
The third project is an instrumental one, which means we have to compensate with our composition and percussive programming to keep the song interesting. We’ll do this again through layering, careful placement of sounds, and an impactful drum sequence.
You’ll learn:
Our final project is by far the most complex track to produce, but it’s also the most rewarding. You’ll be using a professionally recorded vocal to start with, arranging elements and instruments around it. We’ll focus heavily on instrumentation and layering to build the hit.
You’ll learn:
All you need is a copy of Ableton Live, FL Studio or Logic Pro X and XFER Records Serum.
We’ll help you master the fundamentals of production and take your music to the next level. Here’s how…

Here’s how…
Here’s a taste of what you’re getting inside the course:
I’m the founder of EDMProd and co-author of EDM Foundations, our flagship course that’s helped over 5,800 people master the fundamentals of electronic music production. I split my time between EDMProd, reading, drinking coffee, and making music.
My original productions have gained over 3 million streams on Spotify and YouTube, with features by Billboard and Earmilk. I’m also the author of Songwriting For Producers and co-author of EDM Foundations.
With 12+ years of music production experience, I’m the current head of EDMProd and creator of the Serum Masterclass. I’m also the creator of Breakthrough Sound Design & Drums By Design. I produce D&B under Artsea and my pastimes include reading, drinking coffee, and taking photos.
All you need is a computer, a copy of a DAW, and headphones (or monitors). We also strongly recommend Xfer Serum.
Throughout the course, we predominately use stock (built-in) plugins and devices for each DAW, meaning you don’t need to spend hundreds on third-party plugins.
Yes, all videos from both the Ableton Live and FL Studio versions of the EDM Foundations course have accurate English captions. The bonus courses do not have captions. All videos and courses are presented in the English language.
The course itself consists of online videos, split up by walkthroughs and modules.
You’ll also get access to the project files, samples and presets you need.
Since this course is focussed on teaching you the fundamentals, the principles learned can be applied to ALL genres of electronic music.
For the 4 walkthroughs, we cover a wide variety of genres: future bass, future house, trap, and electronic pop. However, these genres are just examples and are designed to teach you universal skills.
There are further genre walkthroughs at the end for other genres, which will help you when creating your own original.
A common concern people have when signing up to a course of this size is that they’ll run out of time and fall behind.
That can’t happen with this program as it’s self-paced. You can go through it in a matter of weeks if you’re extremely diligent and have a lot of time, or you can go through it at a slower pace and take it all in. Whether it takes weeks, months, or even years—it doesn’t matter. You’ll always have access to the course material.
Nope! Although EDM Foundations is taught in Ableton Live, FL Studio & Logic Pro X, you can use practically any other DAW and still follow along just fine.
You may just need to Google something here and there to figure out how it works in your DAW.
Yes! It’s precisely the program for you. It’s designed in a way to help complete beginners master the fundamentals and get going quickly. If you’re brand new, you’ll get value out of this.
It depends.
Are you consistently finishing music that you’re proud of? Do you feel like you have a solid grasp of the fundamentals?
If so, then it’s probably not for you. But if you’ve been producing for a while but feel like you never really got a good start—I recommend it.
Our students love our courses because they are not designed just like any course out there. We create them with three principles in mind:
Action-based. Not boring. Comprehensive.
Our courses aren’t just videos to be watched – each step encourages you to follow along in your own DAW.
We aren’t just regurgitating a bunch of information – we’re keeping it interesting by helping you develop skills.
And lastly, this isn’t just a few tips thrown together – this course was deliberately designed to give you the full picture when it comes to music production. We don’t miss any detail, and if you think we did, let us know.
The EDM Foundations course is completely online-based.
As soon as you make your payment, you’ll be instantly enrolled in the course platform and you can start the course straight away.
While we recommend you go through the course in 4 weeks, EDM Foundations is a self-paced course.
You can go through it as quickly or as slowly as you like. If you have a busy schedule, no worries. Take your time. You have lifetime access to this material. It’s not going anywhere.
This is a fully comprehensive course that teaches you electronic music production from the foundations up – step-by-step.
You won’t find anything this comprehensive just lying around on YouTube – and while you might find a few tips or tricks that we use throughout this course in a tutorials, it won’t provide you with the full picture.
Yep! Our money-back guarantee ensures that if you don’t like the course, we’ll give you 100% of your money back within the first 30 days. No questions asked.
Great! Feel free to use the chatbox to the bottom right of the page, or email us ([email protected])
We’re not just interested in teaching you the basics. We want to help you take things to the next level.
This program will help you develop a rock-solid creative mindset and framework for rapidly developing music production skills. If you find it hard to finish music, be creative, or you just face resistance every time you sit down to make something—this is for you.
