How to Write Better Music
A Reference Course for Anyone Who Makes Music In a DAW
If You Want to Produce Music That Sounds Like What You Hear In Your Head...
Ignore the Mix and Focus 100% on Songwriting, Sounds & Performance

🎹 SONGWRITING
Your notes and rhythms.
This is the song.
🔉 SOUNDS
Your instruments, presets & samples.
This is who plays the song.
💥 PERFORMANCE
Note length, vibrato, portamento...
This makes it music.
⚙️ MIX
EQ, compression, spacial effects, etc.
This makes it sound better.
They're all important.
But the lower, foundational skills have much more of an impact.
After all, no mix engineer can fix bad songwriting.
But if you get good at those foundational skills, you can craft impressive music using unmixed stock sounds.
Then when you do go to mix - it will enhance what you made, instead of trying to fix it.
Consider this course your reference guide to improving your music crafting skills.
It’s not about how to finish one song - it’s about learning how to think, so you can finish a lifetime of songs.
Join today and hear the difference after a few lessons.
Love it or your money back.
