Actually amazing. So much good content and although it starts with the basics it moves very quickly into more advanced arranging techniques that I agree does not get talked about in any other videos online. Loads of 'ah ha' moment and very happy I invested :)
Darren V
Born To Produce have done it again. Another excellent tutorial. Easy to follow, informative and pitched perfectly for Cubase beginners or those of us who haven't used Cubase for a number of years. Jon and Jay know how to support, engage and inspire. I am incredibly grateful for their guidance. I'm hooked!
Alex T
Since I completed the course I actually released my first track. Now it sounds like I wanted it to, this has been a total game changer so thank you, and I have found fun again making music.

This course was exactly what I was looking for in an AI music course! It focused on enhancing your own creativity and helping you create your own tracks - instead of just letting AI do all the work. A+++
Yashank
Wow, This song is awesome!! Jay is so super talented, and gives us yet another awesome track to make. Thank you!
Paul
I’ve been trying to get to grips with Ableton Live for close to two years, then I came across this course and I couldn’t leave it alone, it’s great much better than all the others I have tried and have not finished because they are boring and dull. This course is in a different league and is very interesting and enjoyable.
Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ
All you need to know to get started.
What is 'Level 3 teaching' and why are Born To Produce tutorials better than others?
When Jay and I started Born To Produce over 15 years ago, we were frustrated by the dry, button-by-button tutorials that dominated the market — leaving beginners overwhelmed without practical context or real-world application. Here’s why our teaching approach is superior:
Level 1: Teaching explains controls individually (next to useless).
Level 2: Shows them in isolated examples (like most YouTube videos).
Level 3 (how we teach): Embeds everything in the full song-making process — from blank project to mastered track — building contextual awareness through hands-on, step-by-step frameworks which transfer the skills you are learning to your own projects.

What is music production and why should I learn it?
Music production is the process of creating, recording, arranging, and refining music using software like a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation). It’s an incredibly rewarding creative outlet, whether you want to make beats for fun, produce your own songs, or even become a professional music producer. Producing music lets you express yourself, build skills, and make tracks that others can enjoy — and maybe even make a living doing it!
How do I start learning music production as a complete beginner?
To get started with music production, all you need is a computer and headphones or speakers. The best way to learn is by following structured tutorials that guide you step-by-step inside your DAW of choice, like Cubase, Ableton, FL Studio, or Logic. Our beginner music production courses are perfect for learning fast, making real tracks, and getting confident with music software from day one.
What equipment do I need to produce music at home?
You only need 3 essentials to start producing music at home:
Computer – Any PC or Mac from the last 8 years works fine.
DAW (music software) – Choose from Cubase, Ableton, FL Studio, etc.
Headphones or speakers – Any decent pair will do to start.
Optional gear like a USB microphone or MIDI keyboard can enhance your setup, but aren’t required to begin making music.

What's the best DAW for beginners?
The best DAW depends on your needs:
Cubase – Great all-rounder for any genre.
Ableton Live – Best for electronic music and live performance.
FL Studio – Super user-friendly for EDM and beat making.
Logic Pro X – Versatile, Mac-only, ideal for modern production.
We recommend trying a few free demos and seeing which DAW fits your workflow best.

Is music production hard to learn?
Like any creative skill, music production has a learning curve, but with the right guidance, it’s much easier than it seems. You’ll need to learn your DAW, basic music theory, how to mix tracks, and more. Our tutorials simplify every step so you can make full tracks while learning. With consistent practice, anyone can learn music production.
Can I teach myself music production?
Yes, many successful producers are self-taught! But instead of wasting years trial-and-erroring, you can dramatically speed up your learning with online tutorials, structured lessons, and genre-specific courses. Learn from pros, avoid beginner mistakes, and start finishing tracks faster.
How long does it take to become good at music production?
If you practice regularly, you can start making decent tracks in 6–12 months. To reach a pro level takes longer, often 2–5 years, but that depends on how much time you invest. With our hands-on tutorials, you’ll shortcut the learning curve and get results faster.
What's the fastest way to learn music production?
The fastest way is to follow a step-by-step tutorial where a professional producer builds a track with you from start to finish. You’ll learn real skills in context, avoid overwhelm, and create something you’re proud of. Check out our DAW-specific beginner courses to get started today.
Do I need expensive plugins to produce music?
No! You can create pro-level music using only free plugins and stock instruments that come with your DAW. Our tutorials focus on using Cubase stock tools or completely free VSTs, so everyone can follow along, no matter which version of Cubase (Elements, Artist, or Pro) you’re using.
What will I learn from a music production tutorial?
A great tutorial teaches you the full music production workflow: composing, arranging, mixing, mastering, and even sound design. You’ll also learn music theory, vocal editing, drum programming, and how to finish a track that sounds radio-ready. Our tutorials walk you through every step with real-world projects in popular genres.
