Comprehensive Academy
In our students' words.

Instructors
Before you enrol.
Your own completed project, a curated portfolio of your work, and a certificate - the year is built around what you are making, not around a syllabus you sit through.

A year, at 360 hours of instruction. The schedule skips the major holidays, so the year is designed to be finishable alongside a life.
Ready when you are.

Read →Recording Audio
One thing you're probably going to have to get familiar with in Logic is recording audio. This is obvious if you're a singer or instrumentalist, but not…
Read →Drift: Subtractive, Done Properly
The subtractive synth that sounds analogue without pretending to be a vintage model. Two oscillators, one filter, and the modulation section that makes it worth the CPU.
