"I had been wanting to learn more about music production for a while but have always felt put off by the kind of guys promoting courses. This course has been the antidote to all that aggressive noise in the production world."

ABOUT ME
Learn from 30 Years of Experience
With over 30 years of immersing in jazz, electronic music, production, and composition, I've learned invaluable lessons from my mentors Funk d'Void, Red Rack'em and Jordan GCZ, shaping my unique sound that led to my releases on labels like Metamorphic (Dan Curtin's label), Winthorpe Electronics, and D1, alongside running my own label, Zoitrax. I’ve also taught thousands of hours of music classes over a decade, including running my own guitar school in Dublin for 10 years, working with many inspiring learners along the way. This course brings together my knowledge and teaching experience to focus on what truly matters: creating music that sounds good and, most importantly, uniquely you — because standing out is far better than blending in with every other polished, predictable and been-done track out there!
THIS IS WHAT YOU GET ON THE FOUNDATIONS COURSE:
Module 1 - Composition
To get your ideas and concepts flowing
Module 2 - Sound Design
To create unique and interesting sounds that are only yours
Module 3 - Getting Bass and Bass Drum Right
To get the heart and foundation of your track right!
Module 4 - Compression
To avoid over-production but still get a properly glued together track
Module 5 - EQ + FX
To tidy up unwanted sounds and also make the track come alive!
Module 6 - Mixing
To make your track sound finished and great on all systems!
Module 7 - Arrangment
To make sure the musical content of your track does not become bogged down with wasted trips down blind alleys or confusing twists and turns - maximise the musical impact of your ideas with a great arrangement!
PLUS BONUS MASTERING MODULE!
And THIS is what you get on the Music Theory Course:
Module 1 - Intervals
Explanation of what they are and exercises to get you to use them in useful and practical ways. Also ZOiD's 5 Properties of Intervals - unique insights into the nature of intervals!
Module 2 - Harmony - Scales
Understand scales, what they are, how to use them
Module 3 - Harmony - Chords
What are chords? How do you make them? Master the art of chordal thinking!
Module 4 - Harmony - Keys
What is a key? What does a key have to do with scales and chords?
Module 5 - Melody
What makes a great melody? Let's learn... with melody writing exercises to get your melodies more memorable, lyrical and catchy!
Module 6 - Rhythm
The most important of all... what is rhythm and how to use it to great effect.
Module 7 - Timbre
Timbre is the most mysterious of all the parts of music... what can we learn from timbre and how can we use it to make our music better?
Course Requirements
The course is delivered with video content that you can watch at your own pace. There are assignments to do each month. One month per module is my recommended pace but you can go faster or slower if you prefer!
There are also monthly group Zoom calls where you can ask questions and get inspired, and a Discord server where you can post your own assignments for feedback and interact with other students.
Course Requirements:
1. You have a DAW (like Ableton, Logic, Reaper, FL Studio or similar)
2. You are able to load a plug in (like a free VST)
3. You are able to make a simple sequence
If you need help with achieving these basic requirements, email me for other options (zoid@zoid.ie) otherwise you'll be good to go!
If you are an advanced producer with years of experience but no formal training, the course will still be good for you, I've had some people with many records released do the course and learn lots of new stuff! Contact me if you're wondering whether you are too advanced.
What You'll Gain:
1. Master the fundamentals of composition and production
2. Develop your own unique sound
3. Stay motivated and inspired
This course is about more than making tracks—it’s about helping you create music that feels authentically you.
Is This You?
Start many tracks, no problem! But don't finish.
Lose interest in your tracks quickly
Struggle to get your tracks to sound the way they do in your head
Lose momentum with tracks after having a great start
Find your tracks get overloaded with parts, to complex, become overwhelming to work with
Struggle to find great musical ideas to put into your tracks
Find your tracks have too many changes in them, and lose the flow of the musical ideas
Find your tracks don't have enough changes in them, and become boring!
"ZOiD's 7 month electronic music makers course is fantastic. This course is about finding your own musical voice. It's about finding inspiration from your own life and using it to create electronic music. The course covers the basics of electronic music production but encourages you to develope your own sound in each module. Module 1 will be something I will return to many many times."
Robbie H
"ZOiD is a fantastic tutor and I'd recommend this course to anyone needing guidance or inspiration in terms of generating and developing song ideas or those seeking to improve their production, arrangement and sound design skills.
Although the emphasis is on electronic music, the principles taught here are applicable across all genres. I picked up some skills that have opened up new ways of working and this was just from Module 1!
What I really appreciate is ZOiD's concise presentation style. His experience is immediately apparent. There is no waffle - just direct, no nonsense tutorials and relevant assignments that help recap each module.
ZOiD is helpful, enthusiastic, positive, approachable and encouraging. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this course to everyone from first timers to more experienced artists - even chancer hobbyist DIYers like myself! Honestly, if you are even vaguely thinking about doing this course, just go for it - you won't regret it.💃🕺🏻🎹🎧"
