I enjoyed the course immensely. Ben, was fantastic in explaining techniques and tips in a very practical and useful way. Video material was specifically focussed to important and relevent areas so very useful. Overall a course that i gained a lot of learning and experience from and one i would certainly recommend to others. Im sure ill return for another very soon.

This course was what I expected and more! There's just some things that you need to be shown. I have never used logic so much in plugins alone, and never knew there was so much work ,and effort into creating a track. Definitely worth the money if your serious about what you love, which for me is music. So it's money well spent. Ben is a great tutor!! Looking forward to learn more in the future when I enroll for more courses. Thanks Point Blank!

The course was brilliant. I found that over the 4 weeks, the amount of time required became more and more. As I was travelling around the world, changing locations every few day, I often fell behind and had to rush to catch up. Weeks 3 and 4 are very full-on and need plenty of free time and dedication to get heaps out of the course. Ben is a great instructor, I enjoyed observing him and how he produces. The big thing I wanted from this course was to see how a real producer builds & completes a track. Am going to do at least one more genre course and the mixing dance music course.

This was a challenging course. I would totally pay to do it all over again to continue to get better at writing electro house. Ben was a great teacher, I learned a ton. Can't wait for the feedback from my last lesson, and to bring what I learned future compositions..
