FOUNDATION X — AUDIO ENGINEERING & MUSIC PRODUCTION COURSE

Learn how to record, mix, and master professional-quality music using real-world studio techniques. This program walks students step-by-step from beginner fundamentals to full-scale professional projects. Students complete hands-on lessons in Pro Tools, Logic Pro X, and FL Studio while building a release-ready song portfolio.

Curriculum & Programs

Foundation X gives students real-world audio engineering and creative tech skills in a studio-style learning environment. Every program is hands-on: students don’t just learn about music production — they record, produce, mix, and complete real projects.

  • Beginners with zero experience
  • Young creatives already making beats or recording

Programs offered:

  • After-School Audio Engineering & Music Production Program (two cohorts)
  • Summer Creative Tech Lab Intensive
