FL Studio Course

Build Beats. Shape Sound. Finish Tracks.

FL Studio has become a go-to DAW for electronic music producers and beat-makers around the world—but whatever your genre, if FL is your weapon of choice, and you want your name on this list of notable users, this course will give you the tools and confidence to have the best chance.

Taught at our San Francisco studio, the FL Class keeps groups small enough that every student gets real time at the controls. Bay Area producers lead the sessions, and the identical course can be taken live online if that suits you better, using our specialist music collaboration software, Muse.

Whether you're a complete beginner or already making tracks in FL, this 36-hour course delivers deep, structured training in music production, beat-making, and engineering. We cover every major element in detail, packed with real-world tips and techniques that even experienced users find game-changing. You’ll leave with a solid workflow, polished production skills, and a competitive edge over anyone stuck in YouTube rabbit holes.

Classes are live and interactive—in-person or live online—so you can ask questions and get feedback in the momentwhen you're inspired... or confused. It’s this kind of immediate, practical support that makes in-person learning so effective. Discover qualities that distinguish us, here.
