My best work! Thanks Adam.
I have been on Adams course for two years and recently signed up for my third year. I always found Adam to be genuine and honest. When giving feedback on your tracks and mixes, Adam always gives a precise no bullshit response. My tracks have gone from strength to strength and I have definitely done my best work since joining Adams course.

Since I'm writing this review at the beginning of my course, my review won't be complete, but I have to say that in the short time I've been using the course and implementing these steps into my projects, it's clear that this methodological path works. And Adam is a very nice and helpful guy.
Amazing Experience and Talent!
Adam is an exceptionally talented, experienced, friendly and outgoing producer and tutor. He was honest and gave amazing feedback and insight that was extremely valuable and constructive. I learned a lot through Adam and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to learn, grow and to hone their skills as a producer.

Ive only been on the course with Adam a short time, so far things have been great. Im really looking forward to developing my skills further with Adam. He is so knowledgeable and the support he offers is top notch.
Worth it if your serious about improving
Helped my production significantly and now had tracks signed to major labels
Adam is brilliant
Adam is brilliant. A whole heartedly genuine guy that pushes you to your best. I spent a year with him being mentored, along with 4 studio days at his house and I loved every second of it, highly recommended

I undertook 1-2-1 tutorial sessions with Adam in 2021 to improve my music production abilities. Adam was always insightful, helpful, and professional. Since then I have signed music to various labels including JOOF, Pure Trance, Forescape, Pattern, and more.

Adam's tutorials changed my life
When I made the decision to work with Adam, in my mind it was my last chance to make something out of my passion for music and music production. After reaching out to him, I sent him a demo of my most recent track and within 12 hours I received an audio message with detailed feedback. He was brutally honest, but it wasn't all negative. He praised my melody writing and the fact that I had all of the elements that I needed there. He was critical of the song's structure and the engineering was very amateur (my words, not his). I thought about the offer for a bit and decided that it was time to invest in myself. This was truly the best decision I have ever made. My first track was a remix of one of my all time favorite trance songs and it was frankly embarrassing how long it took me to complete it. I would get stuck on steps because I kept choosing the wrong sounds. Adam's ear for detail helped me select great sounds and I ended up with a remix that I felt did the original track justice. After I completed the remix, I began working on my own music and I got noticeably better with every completed track. My transitions, sound selection and production technique grew by leaps and bounds. I could always rely on Adam to be honest with his feedback and even when I didn't immediately agree, after making his suggested changes I was thrilled with the result. Lets be honest here, his tutorials are not cheap, and there are plenty of other producers out there who offer one on one tutoring for trance music. With that in mind, I'm not sure that there is anyone else out there with the pedigree and resume quite like Adam. He is known for a highly technical trance production technique and is able to provide very detailed feedback. He hears things that I obviously didn't thanks to his very well developed ears for detail. He also offers mixdown and mastering services that I took advantage of. My only real complaints with Adam is that at times I felt like he had too many students and would completely forget what track I was working on and feedback was at times delayed. I also wish that he didn't work on a strict year contract basis (but I also understand why he does). All in all, spending 18 months under Adam's careful guidance turned me from someone who loved music and had been "producing" it since 2000 into what I consider a music producer. I have not had a track signed yet but I am sure that I will have one soon. I met some amazing people in the group, many of which I consider a friend (including Adam). I also gained a best friend in the group who is also a trance producer from the US with whom I share a birthday! I have ZERO regrets when reflecting on the time and money I spent working with Adam. He is a great guy, a great teacher and a very talented producer. I could not recommend Adam's tutorials more if you produce uplifting trance. Just be aware that you only get out of it what you put into it. Communication is key and honestly and maturity are expected as part of the contractual agreement. If you're willing to put in the work, I highly recommend joining his group.
I should have signed up sooner!
Working with Adam is one of the smartest decisions I ever made in regards to my trance production education. My only regret is not signing up years ago before I wasted a lot of time and money on plugins and tutorials with no one on one communication. I now have the confidence to produce and mix my music and not be embarrassed to play it in my sets or send to labels for consideration. I would highly recommend Adam to anyone new to producing or wants to take it to the next level.
This course has changed my life..
It goes without saying Adams course has genuinely changed my life as a producer. The techniques and workflow Adam teaches has completely elevated me as a producer and led me in to now being signed to some of my dream labels including Tidy Two which got me into the top 100 main trance chart on Beatport peaking at number 17. The level I am now out has also got my tracks being played by top DJs in venues like Ministry Of Sound in London which also led me to be booked as a Dj at these venues. From this course I’ve also gained confidence in writing music and have developed my ears to understand better and more precise mixdowns. The course works well and fits around my busy day to day life and have now had a few one to one full studio days at Adams studio where you can really take in how the Pros approach a track. I’ve now been on the course for 2 years and have just signed up for a third. With Adam you don’t just get a tutor but a highly professional engineer in your corner at all times who pushes you to do well. If you’re looking at starting a course to learn or further develop your skills then I highly recommend this.

Made it so much more easy to learn music production!
Adam’s knowledge and friendly approach…
Adam’s knowledge and friendly approach to producing has helped me on my journey, I’m a feedback only client which enables me to get detailed weekly feedback on my latest music which is a god send when you need someone’s else’s professional ears to go over what you’ve been creating, it’s always good to get a second opinion and it’s been a game changer for me. Highly recommend Adam as a tutor and mentor.
useful feedback
useful feedback, straight to the point.
Adam gets right to the point, no nonsense. He knows what he's talking about.
Great course, great mentor
I started this course about 3 years ago, and it's been nothing short of amazing.
I spent over a decade prior to joining this course trying to get a half decent sounding track, there was always something missing! And it's that something that you can never ever find in a youtube tutorial. Adam strips you right back to basics and gets rid of all the noise, over-thinking and bad habbits that come with struggling to learn production.
My first track that I made after starting this course was cleaner than any other track I'd ever made before because of the consistant and honest feedback all the way through from Adam, he doesn't let it get over the line if it doesn't sound good enough for the stage you are at.
If you want brutally honest feedback in order to level up then this is the course to take! If you don't want honest feedback, have a word with yourself and then take the course anyway cos it's well worth it!
A fantastic course.
Adam is an awesome teacher. He has proven to me that with his guidance and methodology I am capable of making and finishing tracks. The course is well worth investing in if you seriously want to learn what it takes to produce trance.
Not a good teacher, but a great one
I have been with Adam for the better part of two and a half years and my current production skills wouldn't be anywhere near where they are without his excellent tutoring. If you take your trance production seriously and if you're willing to pour your heart into it, Adam will most likely prove to be the teacher you need to take it to the next level.
Fantastic content and easy to follow
Fantastic content and easy to follow. I would highly recommend anybody learning to watch these tutorials and see for yourself.
Highly Recommended!
Adam’s course completely changed the way I approach production. Unlearning old habits was tough, but once his methods clicked, everything started to make sense. His regular, detailed feedback has been invaluable.
It definitely requires time and patience, and that’s something Adam brings in a big way. He motivates you, pushes you, and helps you reach your potential, even in the moments when you don’t fully believe in yourself.
My confidence has grown, my mixes sound far more professional, and I’m genuinely excited for what the future holds.
Great for improving Trance production skills
I've been working with Adam for almost a year and his structure and methods have really helped improve my output and efficiency. Adam is approachable and always happy to share expertise and feedback in an honest and constructive way. I have learned a lot and my production has definitely improved under his guidance. Look foraward to continuing the journey.
