Advanced Music Production Course – Quantic Academy 

Are you ready to produce your first professional techno track? If so, we welcome you to our brand-new advanced electronic music course by Quantaloop! 


Both of us have university training in electronic music and nearly 20 years of experience in computer-assisted composition. We decided it was time to share the secrets and techniques that make our music what it is. This course is designed for intermediate to advanced techno music composers looking to refine their craft and reach a professional production level. It is an intensive course consisting of six 2-hour sessions, including practical exercises for each module. By the end of the course, you will have a final 1 minute lenght track that incorporates all the skills and knowledge you’ve gained 


Participants who complete the entire course will receive constructive feedback on their final work. We look forward to sharing this learning experience with you!
