What do I need to start DTM?
You will need a computer, DAW software (digital audio workstation), an audio interface, a MIDI keyboard, and headphones or speakers.
Which is better for DTM: Mac or Windows?
Both work well for DTM. It depends on your preferred DAW software, ease of use, and budget. We’ll help you choose what suits you best.
Do I need a MIDI keyboard?
It’s not required, but highly recommended! It makes composing faster and more intuitive. You can still work using only a mouse if needed.

Yes! We teach everything from how to use the software and create MIDI, to making chord progressions. We also offer other courses that focus on each topic, so feel free to ask us what’s best for you.

Yes. We regularly share information about BGM opportunities for stores and offices, as well as song submission events.
