Sam Matla – EDM Foundations (Legacy)
You get full, lifetime access to the course that has helped over 5,000 producers master the fundamentals of electronic music production.
4 professional project walkthroughs that teach you production techniques and concepts step-by-step, without the frustration. All project files & resources are included.
Note: We have three versions of the course. One for Ableton Live, one for FL Studio, and one for Logic Pro X.
The Foundations Guidebook
Quickly reference techniques and concepts with the included 100+ page guidebook (so you don’t always have to go back into and re-watch videos)
You also get access to the following bonuses to take your production game to the next level
Serum Sound Design Masterclass
Want to master sound design with Serum? This 2+ hour masterclass takes you from newbie to pro. Learn the basics, then move on to advanced functions like the wavetable editor. You’ll gain a bunch of Serum workflow tips too.
Songwriting Bootcamp
If you can’t write good melodies and chord progressions, your music will sound stale. Our Songwriting Bootcamp takes you through the theory and framework behind writing great chords, progressions, and catchy melodies.
EDM Foundations Legacy & Classic
When you enroll in the Complete Package, you also get access to the two previous versions of EDM Foundations.
Why would you want these? Because it’s 6 extra walkthroughs. The old versions aren’t obsolete, and they’re great practice to go through after taking the new version of the course.
bEDM Foundations is a practical course. You’ll spend 90% of your time in your DAW following along step-by-step with what we’re doing, learning as you go.
By the end of the course, you’ll have developed four core production skills:
Here’s How it Works
EDM Foundations is a practical course. You’ll spend 90% of your time in your DAW following along step-by-step with what we’re doing, learning as you go.
By the end of the course, you’ll have developed four core production skills:
1. Idea Generation
You’ll be able to write catchy melodies, craft solid chord progressions, program detailed drum sequences, and more.
2. Arrangement
You’ll know how to turn an idea into a full song, create build-ups, use tension & energy, and keep the listener interested.
3. Sound Design
You’ll understand the tools & techniques used to make unique sounds, as well as audio manipulation and sample tweaking/refinement.
4. Mixing
You’ll know how to use faders and effects to balance the instruments and sounds in your song, making it sound clear and polished.
You’ll develop these skills through copying, repetition, and experimentation.
Here’s how: we’ll work on four full songs together throughout the course. Essentially, we’ll walk you through the song creation process, step-by-step, from start to finish, three times.
Each song should take roughly one week to complete (though, you’re welcome to go at your own pace. There’s no deadline). After the course, we’ll give you guidance on how to produce your own original.

What You’ll Learn in Each Module & Project
Introductory Modules
If you’re completely new to production, or even music as a whole, these first two modules will quickly help you understand how a D.A.W (Digital Audio Workstation) works and also how music fundamentally works.
MODULE 1 Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) Basics For Ableton Live & FL Studio
Whether you’re an FL Studio or Ableton Live user, we’ll help you master the fundamentals of your DAW and quickly build a professional workflow.
You’ll learn:
How DAWs work (it’s less complicated than you think)
The best way to set up FL Studio or Ableton Live
How to best navigate the interface and build a workflow
MODULE 2 Music Theory Basics
Most new producers skip learning music theory. Bad idea. This module will run you through what you need to know about music theory in less than one hour.
You’ll learn:
How the major and minor scales work
The importance of intervals and how to use them
How to build chords and chord progressions
Step-by-Step Project Walkthrough Modules After learning the basics, you’ll dive in to the four walkthrough projects. You’ll download the resource files, be given a quick overview, and then I’ll walk you through each step.
(full syllabus available below this section)
MODULE 3 Project 1: Future Bass
In the first project, you’ll learn the fundamentals of chord writing, vocal arrangement, and track arrangement. Specifically, we’ll focus on building a powerful drop by layering multiple instruments.
You’ll learn:
How to arrange and layer multiple instruments
The secrets behind an energetic and engaging arrangement
The foundational approach to getting a clean mixdown
MODULE 4 Project 2: House
Having learned the basics during project one, we’ll step things up in the second walkthrough and focus heavily on building a powerful house groove. In this project, we’ll spend most of our time programming a solid drum loop and layering bass instruments.
You’ll learn:
How to create a powerful groove with just drums and bass
Layering techniques to create a “wall of sound”
How to build tension and energy into a drop
MODULE 5 Project 3: Melodic Bass
The third project is an instrumental one, which means we have to compensate with our composition and percussive programming to keep the song interesting. We’ll do this again through layering, careful placement of sounds, and an impactful drum sequence.
You’ll learn:
How to layer drums for maximum impact
Creating a unique second drop (using existing elements)
Techniques and tactics for keeping your arrangement interesting
MODULE 6 Project 4: Future Pop
Our final project is by far the most complex track to produce, but it’s also the most rewarding. You’ll be using a professionally recorded vocal to start with, arranging elements and instruments around it. We’ll focus heavily on instrumentation and layering to build the hit.
You’ll learn:
How to build a song around a vocal
Group processing and mixing for clarity and punch
How to take a project from average to great

Here’s what our students are saying We’re not just interested in teaching you the basics. We want to help you take things to the next level.
“Before taking this course I felt lost and overwhelmed by the wealth of resources available. This course provided me with an actual plan of action. Thank you Sam!” Kurt Shuster
“The flow from basics to more advanced topics was really useful and I learnt a lot more going through things in a structured way.” Darren Goddard
“As a business analyst by day, I take a value and ROI frame of mind with everything I do. I think this course is a perfect course for beginners because it is a relatively low price point, but the value of the output for the price point is immense.” Steve Pecora
“The hands-on approach has really helped me to actually learn to make and finish multiple songs. While most courses focus on teaching people about making music, EDM Foundations teaches you how to make music. I recommend this course for any new or aspiring producer, or anyone who needs to revisit the fundamentals.” Rutger Doornbros
Frequently Asked Questions:
Innovative Business Model:
Embrace the reality of a genuine business! Our approach involves forming a group buy, where we collectively share the costs among members. Using these funds, we purchase sought-after courses from sale pages and make them accessible to individuals facing financial constraints. Despite potential reservations from the authors, our customers appreciate the affordability and accessibility we provide.
The Legal Landscape: Yes and No:
The legality of our operations falls into a gray area. While we lack explicit approval from the course authors for resale, there’s a technicality at play. When procuring the course, the author didn’t specify any restrictions on resale. This legal nuance presents both an opportunity for us and a boon for those seeking budget-friendly access.
Quality Assurance: Unveiling the Real Deal:
Delving into the heart of the matter – quality. Acquiring the course directly from the sale page ensures that all documents and materials are identical to those obtained through conventional means. However, our differentiator lies in going beyond personal study; we take an extra step by reselling. It’s important to note that we are not the official course providers, meaning certain premium services aren’t included in our package:
No coaching calls or scheduled sessions with the author.
No access to the author’s private Facebook group or web portal.
No entry to the author’s exclusive membership forum.
No direct email support from the author or their team.
We operate independently, aiming to bridge the affordability gap without the additional services offered by official course channels. Your understanding of our unique approach is greatly appreciated.
Refund is acceptable:
Firstly, item is not as explained
Secondly, Item do not work the way it should.
Thirdly, and most importantly, support extension can not be used.
Thank you for choosing us! We’re so happy that you feel comfortable enough with us to forward your business here.
