DRUM & BASS PRODUCTION MASTERCLASS

Transform your drum & bass production with Australia's leading producers

Four hours that will evolve your approach to music production and leave you inspired. For producers who are serious about getting better.

The Difference Between Good and Great

It's not the plugins or the DAW—it's the creative process and decision-making. Drawing from our 12+ years producing music and touring globally, we'll share the insights that elevated our craft.

What You'll Experience

Using Ableton Live 11/12 we will explore the following :

  • Bootleg Breakdown - Our approach to transforming tracks into infamous dancefloor weapons
  • Live Production Session - Watch our real-time workflow as we take you behind the scenes on an unfinished tune
  • Track Anatomy - Deep dive into one of our latest releases, revealing the crucial details that make tracks stand out
  • Creative Problem-Solving - Unconventional methods for overcoming creative blocks and finishing tracks

Who Should Attend

Producers who understand the fundamentals and are ready to develop their signature sound and professional approach. If you arent an ableton user, dont worry, all DAWs are fundementally the same so anything we cover will be applicable.

We also wont spend time on basics but also wont overwhelm you with jargon. Music is fun. If you are a beginner you might just get a bit of an information overload and get overwhelmed but if you want to stretch yourself - sign up!

What to Bring

  • A notebook or a laptop to record notes
  • Good questions 
  • An open mind
  • A bottle of water
  • Snacks if you get hungry

We also want to give you the chance to participate - Submit a tune that you would like feedback on and it will go into the running to get live feedback on the day.

Upon completing your purchase you will recieve an email with the details.
