Enrollment is open. Five courses launch the week of May 11, one per day, Monday through Friday. Each one runs for twelve weeks.

I’m going to walk you through all five. Pick the one that fits where you’re at, or grab the annual membership and take all of them.

Every course is $499, comes with lifetime access, and has a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you want all five plus the entire legacy library, the annual membership gets you everything at a substantial discount. I’ll get into that at the end.

The Producer's Path

Twelve weeks. Each week I release a class covering a core production skill, and each week comes with a production challenge. You build something real, submit it, and I write you specific feedback on what’s working, what to change, and why. Production notes on your music, from me, every week for twelve weeks.

That feedback loop is what makes the difference between learning and finishing. You can watch tutorials forever and buy every plugin on the market, but until someone who knows what they’re listening to sits down with your music and tells you what to do next, you’re guessing. This course removes the guessing.

The curriculum is cumulative: workflow, sound selection, composition, arrangement, mixing, mastering. Each week builds on the last. By week twelve you’ve built a body of work and you know exactly where your production stands.

Jason Katz, one of our students, had paid serious money for one-on-one coaching before joining. His take on the Dojo: “It was nothing like what I get with this community. It’s so far ahead of what I ever expected to get.” Another student went from releasing zero songs in an entire year to releasing ten through the Dojo in the year that followed. Structure and feedback made the difference.

The Crucible

I named it The Crucible for a reason. This is the advanced course: ninety days, thirteen weeks, the heaviest workload in the Dojo. You come in with your skills and whatever you’ve built so far. If you make it to the end, you leave with an album.

Shadowstar’s story is worth telling. He started as a Dojo student, worked through the curriculum, came out the other side, won Deadmau5’s new artist competition, and signed to Mau5trap. Now he’s one of the Dojo senseis, helping other producers do what he did. That’s the path the Dojo is built to create.

If you’re not sure you’re ready for this one, you’re probably not. Start with The Producer’s Path and work your way here.

Mastering Composition & Arrangement

This is the one I saved for last when I was building the curriculum. Composition and arrangement is what I’ve been known for teaching my entire career. Twenty years of it, distilled into twelve gamified levels across three acts: Foundations, Movements, Synthesis.

How does an eight-bar loop become a track that goes somewhere? The answer is in the history of how music got built. Monophonic roots, drum circles, polyrhythmic composition from African and Afro-Caribbean traditions, polyphonic theory, baroque structure, minimalism, postmodern sampling. I teach it the way a producer needs it. No memorizing Italian terms. My hacks get you writing arrangements that sound like conservatory training without the conservatory.

Mastering Sound Design

Mastering Sound Design teaches you to sound like yourself. The whole course is wrapped in Akira aesthetics, because why wouldn’t it be.

You’ll learn recording workflows for sound design, library and project skills, and then build systems that produce endless variations on your style and vibe. Week 1 is called ASKING WHY. Before you learn what any knob does, you learn why the sound you’re reaching for works the way it does. Once you understand the why, the technique follows.

Mastering the Mix

I’m going to make a specific promise on this one. Pass all the assignments and you can charge clients money for mixing their music. That’s the standard we hold, semester after semester.

I see students new to mixing beat their reference tracks by week five. The course gets at the problem that kills most home studio mixes: your mix sounds right in your room and wrong everywhere else. Twelve weeks to understand why and close the gap for good.

The artwork throughout is Hieronymus Bosch, the proto-surrealist Renaissance painter who did all those insane depictions of musical hell with demons playing instruments. It’s gorgeous. And the content matches the intensity.

Annual Membership

If you’re looking at more than one course, the annual is the move. All five courses, plus the entire legacy library: twenty years of templates, performance packs, samples, presets, Ableton racks, and bonus courses like Elevating Your Style. That library is massive, and the annual is a substantial discount over buying everything separately. The 30-day guarantee still applies.

Where to Start?

The Producer’s Path is the starting point, whether you’re brand new or you’ve been producing for years without finishing. The Crucible is for producers who already have the fundamentals and want the heaviest push. The three intermediate courses each go deep on one discipline: composition and arrangement in MCA, sound design in MSD, and mixing in MTM. Pick wherever you feel the gap.

BassickMath, one of our students, said something I think about a lot: “I’d spent so much money on software, hardware, plugins, but the best decision I ever made as a producer was to invest in production education.”

Enrollment is open now. Once a course launches, the window to join is short. After that, the next semester is months away.
