About
Our courses were born from decades of real world experience across all aspects of the creative process and an obsessive pursuit of the highest quality audio.
In a time of so much misinformation, our courses are the tried and tested distillation of many years of success in the music industry across a number of projects from the founders of Cirrus.
Our team have delivered releases for labels such as: International Chrome, Craigie Knowes, Bromance Records, Exploited, Boys Noize Records, Central Processing Unit, Exit Records UK, Pleasure District and Space Factory + many more.
The systems, workflows and concepts we teach are used on a daily basis by leading producers and engineers to produce consistently great results.
Learn with Cirrus
Our aim has always been to help artists reach their full potential. Our team draws from decades of real world experience across all aspects of the creative process.
Most producers naturally reach a ceiling when working on their own and or being self taught. To enable continued growth, we need to tap into the wealth of specialised information so we can focus on our role; creativity and innovation.
Our education program allows us to engage in the production process to elevate the quality and integrity of your music from the very start of the process all the way to finished tracks.
Whether you are at the start of your production journey or have many years experience, we have a range of courses to support you and help provide the specialised information and techniques you need.

One on One
If you look at any top performing figure, they have one thing in common; a coach or mentor.
It can be very difficult to spot areas of improvement from our own perspective and this is where an external and highly skilled perspective is invaluable. For those looking to get specific guidance on their production journey, we offer one on one sessions in person at our Newcastle studio or online.
Sessions are planned ahead of time so that you walk away with the relevant information and training you need to move forward with your productions and maximise your potential as a producer.
Course Fee
$200 AUD per hour
