LEARN TO
FINISH TRACKS.
Spring Cohort opens April 7, 2026 · New York City · 4 seats remaining
Sound Design Foundations
You build a synthesizer patch from scratch. You understand why it sounds the way it does.
Three weeks inside the synthesis lab. You learn subtractive, FM, and wavetable synthesis on hardware that forces you to hear every decision. No presets. No shortcuts. By the end of week three you have a sound library that is entirely yours — and the ears to know why each sound works.
Weekly Deliverables
of students complete their first original sound library by week 3
Marcus Webb
Synthesis Lead
Ableton Certified Trainer · 12 years hardware synthesis
Produced under four label imprints across Berlin and Detroit. Teaches synthesis the way he learned it — by breaking things on purpose.
Arrangement Architecture
You stop making loops. You make tracks with a beginning, a tension, and a release.
The hardest thing for bedroom producers is finishing. Week four you break the loop. Using Ableton's arrangement view on our certified hardware setup, you learn how professional tracks use negative space, tension arcs, and structural contrast. You will finish a complete track in six days.
Weekly Deliverables
of students finish a complete 4-minute arrangement in this phase
Sasha Okonkwo
Arrangement Lead
Releases on Kompakt, Innervisions · 200+ tracks released
Her arrangements have been licensed across three continents. She teaches by dissecting tracks bar-by-bar until students stop hearing music as a monolith and start hearing it as architecture.
Mixdown & Mastering
You hear the difference between a bedroom mix and a club mix. Then you close that gap.
Our treated rooms don't flatter your mix. 0.3-second decay means you hear everything. Weeks seven through nine are spent learning to trust your ears in an environment that tells the truth — and by week nine, your track is mastered, leveled to streaming standards, and ready to release.

room decay — our treated studio tells your mix the truth, every time
Daniel Ferreira
Mix & Mastering Lead
Mastered 400+ commercial releases · LUFS certified
Worked out of São Paulo and Amsterdam for fifteen years. He can diagnose a mix in thirty seconds and explain exactly why it sounds the way it does.
Release Strategy
You don't graduate with a portfolio. You graduate with a release.
The final three weeks exist for one purpose: your track leaves the studio and enters the world. You learn the infrastructure of independent release — distribution, metadata, playlist pitching, and press. Every student who finishes the program has a release credit. That's not a goal. That's the contract.
Weekly Deliverables
of graduates have at least one track live on streaming platforms
Yuki Tanaka
A&R & Release Strategy
Former A&R at Ninja Tune · Label founder
Signed 40+ artists over a decade at Ninja Tune before founding an independent imprint. She knows exactly what labels listen for — and how to make sure your track gets heard.
