Producer? Go pro!
Raise your sound design and mixdown game to put you into another league. Start competing with the pros.
Do you want to be a good producer, or an amazing producer?
This course is for those already making music at a confident level, who don’t want to learn to produce, but to produce better. To do that, you need to get serious about sound design and mixdown.
We’ll explore the finer details of sound design with Native Instruments Komplete. We’ll dig into Reaktor, Battery, FM8, Absynth, and Massive. Don’t reach for the sample packs, start to create your own trademark sound. Start at the sine wave.
We’ll also go into the dark art of mixdown. Make your kicks kick and your vocals punch. Put an end to flat mixes with this course.
If you achieve the learning outcomes of this course, you’ll finish delivering a 4 track EP that is of an excellent standard both musically and sonically, ready to send to record labels.
You’ve already learnt to produce music. You’ve put a lot of time and effort into getting there.
But are your tracks sounding exactly how you want? Sound design and mixdown are the two areas that will enhance your production.
Learn how to create unique sounds, emulate sounds and production tricks from classic tracks, then mix and master to a professional level. Throughout your training get tailored feedback from our experienced, industry-active tutors.

When should I enrol?
In short: enrol as soon as you are ready. All live course dates are available for you to enrol on.
Unlike most training centres SEM has a limit on lecturer to student ratio and keeps its class sizes small. We therefore have limited availability and courses fill up in advance. We would recommend enrolling as soon as you are ready, to avoid disappointment. If you are looking at a start date that is more than 3 months away, we would strongly recommend contacting a course advisor so that we can primarily secure your place before the window opens for you to apply for finance/PCDL.

Options 1 – 4: Get instant Student Finance with Omni Capital (you will need to be in employment)
Prospective students are able to get an instant online decision to fund training though our partner Omni Capital. To apply, you must be 18 or over, and have been living in the UK for at least 3 years before your course starts. You can apply by clicking ‘enrol’ on the course page to begin the finance application. Please note student finance can only be applied for within 3 months or less of the course start date.
You can apply for the full amount of course fees, and choose an affordable monthly repayment that suits your budget. Other benefits of student finance are that the baseline course price is based on our ‘advanced’ cheaper price. You will need to pay a minimum 5% downpayment on the course fees at the point of successful application, although you have the option to make anything up to a 50% downpayment on course fees (please contact SEM for this).
Options 5 – 6: Fund the course yourself
You can choose ‘advanced’ and ‘termly’ payment plans. An advanced payment would be required before starting the course to secure your place. A termly payment plan requires the first instalment to be paid no later than 1 calendar month before the course start date, with termly instalments at 10 week intervals. At the school’s discretion, a monthly payment plan can be arranged if there is a guarantor, if other finance routes such as student finance are not a viable option. Please contact us about this if you need more advice.
Please note:
If you are European, a British citizen but have not lived in the UK for the past three years, or have low or no credit score, then payment options 5 and 6 are the relevant options for you. We would also be happy to discuss a flexible monthly payment plan between yourself and SEM, as an alternative to loan funding. Please contact us promptly to arrange this.
