Sound familiar?

The kick sounds massive. Then you turn everything else on.

On its own? Beautiful. Add the screech, vocals and effects, and the whole thing falls apart. So you add another EQ. More distortion. Maybe a clipper will fix it? Now it’s louder, your ears are tired, and you’re not sure whether it sounds better.

How it works

Hard music. Explained in normal English.

Watch one lesson. Open the FL Studio project. Try it in your own track. Step by step, learn how to build the sounds, make them work together and finish the thing.

  1. 01

    Learn one thing at a time.

    Follow the lesson, hear the difference and understand what each step does.

  2. 02

    Open the FL Studio files.

    See the settings, routing and processing, including how the sounds work together in the complete track build.

  3. 03

    Try it in your own music.

    Pause the lesson. Open your project. Have a go. Learn what to change and why, then build on it.

I’m Steven. I’ve ruined plenty of kicks too.

I’ve spent more than 20 years making Hardstyle, Hardcore and Uptempo as Neroz: over 50 releases, two albums and more than 200 shows in over 20 countries, including Defqon.1. I know how frustrating it is when you can hear the sound you want but can’t get it out of your speakers. Here, I explain what I’m listening for, why I make each change and what you can try yourself.

This is a recent beginner stream. Producers send me their tracks and I go through them live: what works, what I would change, and how to fix it. Full includes 12 months of these streams.

Is this for you?

You don’t need to be good already. That’s why you’re here.

You’ll feel at home here if…

  • You want to make Uptempo, Hardcore or Frenchcore in FL Studio.
  • You’re new, or can make a kick but struggle to build a track around it.
  • You want to understand your choices and finish your own music.

Another option may fit better if…

  • You use a different DAW.
  • You mainly want to make Hardstyle or Rawstyle.
  • You already finish tracks and mainly want ongoing support, or only want more presets.

What you’ll need

A computer, headphones and FL Studio Producer Edition or higher, purchased separately. Fruity Edition is missing tools used in the lessons. Beginner lessons use what comes with FL Studio. Later lessons use Serum or Serum 2, and some use Sylenth1 and FabFilter Pro-Q. Paid third-party plugins are not included; check the curriculum before buying.

Same course. A little more help if you want it.

Before you join

A few clear answers.

Email Steven · Ask on WhatsApp

I’ve never made a track. Can I start here?

Yes. Start with the 20 FL Studio foundation lessons, then follow the program in order. You don’t need to have finished a track already.

I know the basics. Will I still learn something?

Yes. Skip the foundations you already know and work on kick design, sound design, mixing or the complete 9+ hour track build.

Do I need FL Studio?

Yes. The lessons and project files use FL Studio Producer Edition or higher. Fruity Edition is missing tools used in the lessons.

Do I need paid plugins?

Not for the beginner lessons. Later lessons use Serum or Serum 2, and some use Sylenth1 and FabFilter Pro-Q. Those plugins are purchased separately. The Serum 2 Kick Pack needs Serum 2; check the curriculum before buying.

How much time should I set aside?

Go at your own pace. Pick a lesson, then give yourself time to try it in your own project. There’s no deadline for finishing the course.

What do I keep for life?

Both editions include lifetime access to all program lessons and their FL Studio project files. The extra theory course and preset packs in Full are yours to keep. The membership period is shown in the Full card above.

What’s the refund policy?

If the program is different from what this page describes, email within 14 days. I refund the payment and remove course access. Read the full terms.

Can’t I learn this on YouTube?

You can. This program gives you one complete learning path, FL Studio files and a 9+ hour track build, so you can see how the parts work together.
