Learn Sound Design on Synthesizers for Music Production
Hello Music Composers & Producers!
My name is Mike, and in this course I will teach you exactly how synthesizers work and how you can design your own sounds from scratch for any style of music. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced producer looking to level up your sound-design skills, this guide will give you the knowledge and confidence to create truly unique and expressive synth sounds.
You will discover:
A complete breakdown of all the main synthesizer features, including oscillators, filters, envelopes, LFOs, modulation, effects, and more.
Live, practical demonstrations showing you how these features shape the tone, movement, and character of a sound.
Pro tips & tricks based on my 25+ years of experience in music production and sound design.
You will also learn how to create the most common and useful types of synth sounds used in modern music:
Pluck Synths for arpeggios, sequences, and EDM-style rhythms
Pad Synths for lush atmospheres and cinematic textures
Lead Synths for melodies and solos
Bass Synths for deep, powerful low-end
Riff Synths for rhythmic hooks and energetic motifs
…and essentially any sound you want, once you understand the core principles of synthesis and how to combine them creatively.
My name is Mike, music composer and sound designer since 1998. I truly love inspiring, motivating, and educating creative people like you to reach the next level in your music journey.
Now it’s time for you to take action, unlock your creativity, and dive deep into the world of synthesizers for music production.
Let’s begin your learning journey!

Went from not understanding the knobs on my digital synths (in Ableton) to having a much better level of comprehension. Tried free Youtube videos but they felt lacking. Of course there is much more to synths but I can now navigate them with confidence. Anthony

Very clear course. You learn how a synthesizer works but (also and above all) the logic for building the sound you want; that's beacause Mike explain the choices he makes at each step of the synthesis process.

Extremely well structured, not too long or too short classes, very efficient and clear explanations, excellent starting point for those who start with confused ideas about producing music with (digital) synthesizers. Course highly recommended.
