Producer Program Modules+

Core Modules

  • →Digital Audio Workstation Fundamentals (Ableton Live or Logic Pro) — Beginner-to-intermediate DAW training covering session setup, recording, editing, warping/Flex tools, MIDI instruments, sampling, basic effects, signal flow, automation, and production of an original track.
  • →Hit Songwriting — Foundational songwriting and toplining focused on melody, lyrics, structure, creative devices, concepts, and essential music business (copyright, publishing, splits). Includes one dedicated lesson on rap/rhythmic toplines.
  • →Synthesis and Sound Design — Practical subtractive synthesis and sound design using Serum or native DAW synths. Students create drums, basses, leads, FX, pads, and textures while learning oscillators, filters, envelopes, LFOs, and effects.
  • →Vocal Production — Professional vocal recording, comping, tuning, alignment, background vocals, creative effects, industry tools (Auto-Tune, Melodyne, Vocalign, etc.), and final vocal mixing for client-ready results.
  • →Mixing — Complete mixing workflow: session organization, gain staging, panning, EQ (including drums, bass, vocals), dynamics (compression, parallel/bus), saturation, reverb, delay, referencing, and final polish.

Optional Modules

  • →DJ Performance — Hands-on DJ training covering equipment, beatmatching, phrasing, harmonic mixing, BPM transitions, effects, scratching, open-format sets, troubleshooting, branding, and live performance, ending with a 20–30 minute headlining set. For students who want a performance and club/live pathway after they can produce and mix their own records.
  • →Composition and Media Scoring — Practical writing for picture across commercial media: corporate video, TV themes and library music, trailers and games, commercials (jingles), and film/TV drama. Students learn briefs, spotting notes, cue sheets and PROs, picture-locked DAW workflow, hit points, revision and delivery standards, and build a scored-to-picture demo plus portfolio entry.

Our Students Say. . .

Paris Hilton

"Everything went really well in Ibiza this time and I had so much fun! I am so glad you taught me, you're the best xoxo" Paris Hilton (Garnish DJ Program)

“My songs that were already finished were improved significantly, when I didn't think there was much room to improve. My writing ability and originality also increased. Casey is patient, but also honest, and it's exactly what I needed to get my music to another level. She was always open to hear original songs and give feedback, and was very good with answering questions even if they were asked more than once. If I could take the course myself again I totally would.”

Which DAW is better – Logic, Pro Tools, FL, Ableton or Cubase?

When I very first started in the early-nineties, we all used Atari STs with a whole 512k of Ram for sequencing MIDI and not much else. All the audio was dealt with using 24 track 2" tape, with up to 3 slaved together synchronised using lynx synchronisers. Back then for sampling, we had the classic A
