We totally get it—there are some great courses out there, and we respect that. Plus, every institution brings something different to the table. 

In case you’re wondering, Hyperbits (yes, that’s me—I know, third-person is weird) took a mixing and mastering class at Dubspot many moons ago and learned a ton along the way. But here’s what sets the Hyperbits Masterclass apart: we’re artists first, educators second. That means you’re learning from people actively working in the industry, not just teaching from a textbook.

And our approach? Unconventional, insightful, and packed with secrets that other institutions might simply not have. Oh, and lifetime access to our live classes? You can move at your own pace, so there’s no rush. And for the value? Trust me, you won’t find a better price. While some schools charge 5, 10, or even 15 times as much, we keep it affordable without cutting corners.

Most importantly, our students see real results. They've racked up over 1.2 billion streams on Spotify alone (not too shabby, right?). So if you're serious about leveling up, this course fills a gap in the music production world that simply doesn’t exist anywhere else.

If you’re completely new to production, or you’ve never opened a DAW (and if you’re wondering, What’s a DAW?), this probably isn’t the course for you just yet. But if you’ve spent 3-12 months getting familiar with Ableton, Logic, FL Studio, or any other digital audio workstation, you’re likely in a good spot to dive into the Hyperbits Masterclass.

Everyone progresses at their own pace, so don’t stress if you’re not a pro yet. As long as you’ve been experimenting, making tracks, and are eager to improve, this course will give you the tools and strategies to push your skills beyond what you thought was possible.

At a minimum, you should have completed a few track ideas or sketches, know how to manipulate audio, use basic automation, and comfortably navigate a piano roll. If that sounds like you, you’re ready—and we’re here to help you level up fast.

Don’t stress—you don’t need to rush out and buy every plugin and synth on this list. Plus, you’ll get up to 50% off almost every single tool we use. That said, here’s the gear we love working with and can’t get enough of:

Synths, Samplers & Romplers: We dive into Serum, Vital, Diva, Kontakt, Arcade, Nexus, Omnisphere, Trilian, and some gems from Output Sounds. But honestly, if you have Serum or Vital, you’re already set up for success—those two alone can take you pretty far.

Mixing & Effects Plugins: We’re all about the best in sound design and mixing, so we use heavy-hitters like the SoundToys Bundle, Fabfilter Bundle, Waves Bundle, Izotope Ozone, Valhalla Reverbs, Mastering The Mix Bundle, WavesFactory, and a handful of free or ridiculously affordable plugins that pack a punch.

Once class starts, we’ll hook you up with a complete guide to our favorite tools—including budget-friendly alternatives and free options that still deliver top-tier results. We’re big believers that it’s not about having every plugin—it’s about knowing how to squeeze the best out of what you have, and that’s exactly what we teach.

The main goal? To help you create commercially viable, professional-sounding music that stands out. Expect to:

• Craft cleaner, more dynamic mixes—mixes that breathe, and retain their transparency, power, and impact.
• Achieve loud masters without sacrificing dynamics—we’ll show you how to get that perfect balance between loudness and punch.
• Connect with a passionate community of like-minded producers—you’ll be joining a family of music creators who are just as driven as you are.
• Boost your output—so you can make more music, more often, without burning out (in fact, you’ll learn how to make a new track or remix every 2 weeks, consistently.
• Push creative boundaries—we’re not about cookie-cutter sounds or imitating the latest trends; we’re about innovation and helping you craft your own, unique sound.

By the end, you won’t just have tracks you’re proud of—you’ll have an industry-ready skillset that sets you apart from the crowd. This is more than just making music; it's about transforming your passion into something powerful, something that resonates and moves people on a deeper level.

Not at all! The Hyperbits Masterclass is designed to be DAW-agnostic, which means the principles, strategies, and techniques we teach are easily transferrable across any digital audio workstation—whether you're using Ableton, Logic, FL Studio, Pro Tools, Cubase, or something else entirely.

We focus on concepts that are universal to music production, like sound design, mixing, mastering, arrangement, and creative workflows. These are skills that transcend any specific software and get to the heart of producing professional-quality music. We don’t get bogged down with the basics of how to operate your DAW—because let’s be honest, those are the kinds of things you can easily Google or find on YouTube. Instead, we focus on the techniques that will take your music from good to great, no matter which DAW you prefer.

We get this question all the time, and while we'd love to listen to every track that comes our way, if we did that, we'd literally be doing only that. And as much as we’d enjoy hearing the music you're working on, we need to reserve our time, energy, and focus for our enrolled students in the Hyperbits Masterclass.

But hey, once you’re part of the Masterclass, we’ll dive deep into your tracks and help you fine-tune your sound with direct feedback and strategies. That’s when the real magic happens—when we can give you personalized advice that helps take your production to the next level. So, if track feedback is what you're after, we’ve got you covered once you’re inside the course!

Absolutely! We’re incredibly proud of our alumni, and the proof is in the playlists (not the pudding). We regularly update our Alumni Spotify Playlist with our student’s latest releases—so you can see and hear firsthand what our students are creating. And trust us, these tracks will show you just how far they've come.

No worries! Every single live group session and office hour is recorded and becomes available to watch within 24 hours on the member site. So, whether life gets busy or you just need to revisit a lesson, you'll always have access to the content.

You can also catch up by asking additional questions during office hours or on our lively Discord server, where both students and instructors are always ready to help out. And if you know ahead of time that you’ll miss a live session, feel free to submit your questions via Discord. We’ll make sure they get covered during class, so you can hear the answers when you catch the recording.

Our Live Group Sessions happen every week on Wednesdays, rotating between 12 PM and 6 PM Pacific Time to accommodate different schedules. Office Hours happen twice a month: the first Thursday of every month at 12 PM Pacific and the third Thursday at 6 PM Pacific. It's your chance to get personalized feedback, ask questions, and dig deeper into any part of your journey.

And hey, life happens. If you can’t make it live, no sweat. Every session is recorded and uploaded to the member site within 24 hours. So you can catch up at your own pace—whether it's the next morning with a coffee or late-night studio session.

Let’s break that down:

• Lifetime Access means you’ll have forever access to all recorded lessons, live sessions, and office hour recordings. Anytime you need a refresher, it’s right there waiting for you.
• Lifetime Updates means you’ll automatically get access to new content and updated lessons in our core curriculum. As music production technology evolves, so will your resources. Whether it’s new techniques, updated plugins, or changes in the industry, we make sure you’re always on top of the latest developments.

This is crucial because the world of music production moves fast. With lifetime access and updates, you’re not just signing up for a course—you’re joining a program that grows with you, ensuring that your skills stay sharp and relevant, long after you finish the initial modules.

The bottom line: once you’re in, you’re in for life.

Here’s the thing: if you're serious about leveling up your production skills, you shouldn't have to wait for some arbitrary date on our schedule. A few years ago, we used to run the Masterclass with set start and stop dates, but we quickly realized that the landscape—and our students' needs—were changing. So, we adapted. Now, classes start the moment you enroll.

There are no waiting periods, and no delays—just instant access to over 100+ hours of material, live group sessions, and office hours—for life.

In other words, you’re in control of your journey, and we’re here for you from day one.

I’ll be the first to admit—life can get hectic. That’s why, while we ask a lot from our students, we’ve designed the class to be manageable but transformative, so it is flexible and adaptable to different schedules.

Here’s a breakdown of the suggested time commitment to get the most out of the Masterclass:

• Recorded Lessons: 2-3 hours per week
• Live Sessions: 1 hour per week
• Office Hours: 2 hours per month
• Homework + Action Items: 1-2 hours per week (depending on your level of dedication)

In total, you’re looking at about 3-5 hours per week for Recorded Lessons, Homework, and Action Items, plus another 1-2 hours per week for Live Sessions and Office Hours. 

But don’t worry—everything is designed to be flexible. If life gets in the way, you have lifetime access to all the materials so you can go at your own pace. No penalties, no pressure—we’re not going to fail you if real life comes first and you need to catch up later.

This class is meant to keep you motivated, inspired, and supported. It’s comprehensive but crafted to be manageable, and most importantly, fun.

The entire Hyperbits Masterclass is meant for intermediate to advanced producers, but the Coaching Tier is meant for extremely focused, career-driven producers looking for additional one-on-one attention and accountability.

This Coaching Tier is NOT specifically meant for the most technically proficient or advanced producers but for passionate artists looking for next-level guidance, accountability, networking, and intense, peer/instructor feedback.

This is what sets apart the Coaching Tier from the Complete tier, additional one-on-one time, additional accountability, more intensive feedback, and additional Coaching Tier group sessions every month with a smaller, more intimate group. 

And to keep those standards, The Coaching Tier is strictly available to just 5 students per month.

One-on-one sessions throughout the Masterclass for the Coaching Tier students will be scheduled based on student and instructor availability. We will accommodate time slots based on your schedule and offer an array of morning and afternoon time slots.

Coaching Tier group sessions will run the last Thursday of every month, rotating between 12 PM & 6 PM Pacific time.

As we mentioned, the Coaching Tier is all about additional guidance, accountability, networking, and peer/instructor feedback. We dive deep into your personal application of sound design, arrangement, processing chains, mixing, and mastering.

The goal? To help you achieve professional-quality mixes that sound as good (or better) than your favorite artists—and we’ll do this faster than if you were working solo. Through customized feedback, you’ll not only identify what’s working and what’s not, but also learn how to optimize your production techniques, getting you to that next level quicker.

You’ll receive a combination of private one-on-one instruction (6 total sessions), plus access to extremely small, private group classes for life. This means you're getting personalized attention that zeroes in on your specific challenges, helping you master the skills that really matter in a professional context.

Honestly, the Coaching Tier is best suited for those who are serious about turning their passion into a career. If you're mostly just dabbling or producing as a hobby, the Complete Tier might be a better fit for you. 

That said, if you're ready to put in the work and take your music to the next level, even as a hobbyist, the Coaching Tier will give you the tools, accountability, and personalized guidance to push you further. Just keep in mind that this tier is designed for producers looking for the most accountability and 1on1 attention.
