What Producertech Actually Teaches
Organized around two axes: Tools and Genres
Browse Producertech's complete library of Online Music Software Courses, designed to help you learn a variety of DAWs (Including Ableton Live, Logic Pro and Reason), software synths (Massive, Serum, Omnisphere), digital DJing and other music production software.
DAWs
Ableton Live is the flagship — most courses built in Live — with complete Logic Pro and Reason tracks as well.
"From first steps right through to" finished tracks.
Synths & Plugins
Dedicated courses on Serum, Massive, Omnisphere, plus compression, synthesis fundamentals, mixing and mastering.
Foundations
Compression Fundamentals and Beginner's Guide to Synthesis as entry-level staples, alongside music theory, arrangement, and sound design.
Courses designed with different levels in mind — from beginner tutorials to advanced masterclasses from professional music producers.
Unlike generalist platforms, Producertech goes deep into electronic genres. This genre-first approach is rare — most schools teach you the knobs. Producertech teaches you how working artists would actually use those knobs to finish a track that would work in a club.

How to make the bass, pad, or lead in Serum or Massive — not just preset browsing.
Arrangement & Automation
Turning an 8-bar loop into a full track.

Teaching Philosophy & Reviews
What Students Actually Say
"I'm giving Producertech 5 stars for sure! Their instructional videos are in-depth and easy to follow with the latest instructional tutorials for Recording, DJs and producers for prices that are a steal."
— Trustpilot Review
Depth Over Hype
They don't sell "become famous in 30 days." They sell signal flow.
College-Quality, No Debt
Rob Jones' background delivering actual college courses comes through in structured learning outcomes.
Project-Based
You finish with a track, not just notes.
UK / EU Sensibility
Less LA influencer, more Bristol studio — detailed, slightly nerdy, sound-first. MusicTech treats courses like proper products.
Producertech vs. Other Platforms
2026 Landscape
| Vs. | Producertech Advantage |
|---|---|
| YouTube | Linear, curated, includes downloadable resources. YouTube is free but fragmented, algorithm-driven, inconsistent in quality. |
| Splice Skills / ADSR / Sonic Academy | Heavier on full track deconstruction by name artists and Ableton certification. Underground credibility in the middle ground. |
| MasterClass / Point Blank | Point Blank is degree-granting at $1000s/term. MasterClass is inspirational talks. Producertech is ~$30/month, hands-on, DAW-screen-share. |
| Loopmasters Connection | Loopmasters acquired Producertech — synergy where Loopmasters provides samples, Producertech teaches how to use them. All-Access cross-bundles with Loopcloud. |
Who Is It Best For?
Perfect For
Bedroom producers who learned basics on YouTube and hit a plateau
DJs who want to start making edits, bootlegs, and originals
Ableton Live users wanting certified training without Ableton's steep pricing
Producers switching genres — e.g., house DJ learning D&B bass design
International learners — online, self-paced, downloadable files work even with limited internet
Not Ideal For
Those wanting one-on-one mentorship or degree certificates
Complete technophobes who need in-person hand-holding
People who only want presets/samples without learning

Getting Started
Practical Roadmap
Month 1 — Foundations
Beginner's Guide to Synthesis, Compression Fundamentals, Ableton Beginners Complete.
Month 2 — Genre Track
Pick one course that matches your taste — e.g., Lofi Hip Hop or Melodic Deep Tech House — and rebuild it alongside the tutor.
Month 3 — Remix & Feedback
Enter a remix comp, post your assignment in the forum, attend a livestream Q&A.
Ongoing — Bonus Racks
Build a template from their racks, samples, and presets so your next track starts faster.
By month 4, most students have 2–3 releasable demos and a workflow that doesn't rely on random presets.
Final Thought
Producertech's pitch is not glamorous. It doesn't promise a record deal. It promises that if you sit down with Rob Jones and a roster of working producers, watch real sessions, and do the assignments, you will understand why your mix is muddy, why your drop doesn't hit, and how to fix it.
In an era where AI can generate a loop in 5 seconds, that craft-focused, college-quality music training approach matters more, not less.
Learn to finish music, not just start it — with real-time insights from industry professionals, hands-on practice, and a dynamic and supportive forum behind you.
