About Course
Production Basics is a free, hands-on workshop designed for anyone wanting to learn how to create their own music. Hosted in Sound Collective’s New York City studios, you’ll learn how producers lay down beats, structure a loop, and start turning an idea into something that actually sounds like a track. Whether you’ve never opened a DAW or have been curious about music production for years, the Production Basics workshop gives you a real first experience making music from scratch.
