Music production skills can be monetized in several ways. Developing skills at different stages of the production timeline can yield an “a la carte” approach to session work, while simultaneously developing enough experience to oversee a record from start to finish.

Steps among the stages of production are operating a DAW during recording sessions, arranging, orchestrating, vocal production, vocal comping and tuning, sound & synth design, mixing and mastering. Producers with exceptional skills in any of these stages can be contracted to perform their services during the production process.

After experience and skills have been gained throughout each stage of production, an ascending producer will be trusted with a retainer (budget) to oversee the delivery of a master recording… from scratch. At this stage in a producer’s career arc, this will often be what is referred to as an “all-in” budget. An all-in budget is an agreement between the producer and the financier (independent artist, independent record label or major record label), which states that the producer is in charge of overseeing the song or project from start to finish after being provided a lump sum by the financier. The producer is allowed to keep whatever they do not spend, but is expected to deliver a high-quality master recording.

Our courses are designed to prepare aspiring producers to accept an all-in budget with confidence. Each course focuses on a different area of the production timeline, while building fundamental skills, foundational knowledge and professional habits. Student-producers are able to identify their areas of strength and weakness during their course(s). After graduation, they may begin monetizing their strengths immediately, while practicing their areas of weakness so they are prepared to capitalize on any opportunity.
