What's that supposed to mean? Are you saying that production can't be taught? You can't show someone how to use kontakt, or explain what filters do, or teach common mixdown techniques, or explain the difference between leads and pads etc.

Or are you actually going to say that making electro house is easy? Just like when people think dubstep is easy, just a beat and bassline, right? :roll:

First of all I just wanted to say that it's good to see a healthy amount of discussion on the topic of production education, it's always an subject that throws up a lot of different views brings about some good debate. It's also always good for us to hear form you guys and your thoughts on what we, and dubspot, do.

I still find it slightly odd when people are against paying for music production training; the fact is that in order to get to high standard why wouldn't you want to be taught by a professional with years of industry experience? For any other skill you'd be happy to pay for the education; people take art classes, cooking classes, graphic design classes, people pay to learn all sorts of skills that you can find a wealth of free information and tutorials for all over the net.

We provide professional training in music production and sound engineering to students from all over the world via our studios here in London and the online classes. The benefit of learning from professionals is that you can get training to take you right from the ground up and will have dedicated tutors to bounce ideas of and to give in-depth feedback on your work every step of the way.

I'm keen to hear more from you guys and your thoughts, also if you have any questions then please feel free to ask.

Thanks!

Luke
This is exactly what I meant by being in a room with a professional telling you things step by step. I've also checked out Point Blank's courses too and in fact, found them before I found Dubspot, but stopped lookin after I found out your studios were in London :? So I looked for an american point blank pretty much and came across Dubspot and thought it was perfect!
Hey man,

You're definitely right about learning from a Pro...having someone with real industry experience explaining things and, more improtantly imo, working through your tracks with you and offering their advice creatively and technically to improve and inspire your work is just so valuable. We offer this kind of 1-on-1 video feedback/analysis via our online courses and we have found the results to be very impressive. I don't want what I'm saying to be an ad, I want to be informative.

Let me know if you have any questions on what we do, I'm happy to help.

Thanks,

Luke
