YOU GOT QUESTIONS? 
WE HAVE ANSWERS.

 Do I need any prior sync experience?

Not at all. This program is designed for complete beginners and intermediates in order to give them the fundamental education they need to start their journey.

 What equipment / software do I need to take full advantage of this program?

We built this program with the assumption that our students would have no prior equipment or software. 

This means we'll walk you through you through exactly what's necessary to get started, as well as advise you on what you may need as you continue learning production.

 What if I work full-time?

Most of our students have full-time jobs, so we designed everything to be go-at-your-own-pace.

This means you can fit your education around your schedule, not the other way around. 

 Can't I just figure this out on my own?

Short answer is... you might. But stitching together dozens of "tips + tricks" videos on YouTube to try and create a solid foundation is extremely confusing and often takes years to do properly.

Plus, there's a lot of information about the sync licensing industry that you can only get from speaking to somebody with decades of experience.

That's why our programs combine curriculum and 1-to-1 mentorship to streamline your education and fill in any gaps along the way. 

 Is this for a specific genre or type of music?

No, what you're going to learn is totally agnostic to the genre of music.

Remember, it's mastery over the SCIENTIFIC aspect of music production that comes first. Once you do that, you have the building blocks for any genre or type of music.
