Next Level Production – Reviews

Don't Just Take
Our Word For It

★★★★★

"Max has the ability to break down complex subjects into terms I can understand. I have learnings I can take away and apply to my music each time — Max even makes an effort outside of lesson times to provide useful resources."

Ethan Probert

"Elliot's techniques have completely changed the way I approach my mixing, and helped me identify blind spots in my production process. He's able to explain complex ideas concisely. Couldn't recommend him more."

"I've been producing for about a year, but after a month working with the team at Next Level my progress has skyrocketed. Max genuinely understands the kind of music I want to make. Elliot and George are both absolute experts."

"I completed a $2,500 intensive mixing course from a different company and honestly, the first few hours with Elliot at Next Level delivered far more noticeable improvements in a fraction of the time and cost."

"I've learnt more about audio production in a month than in my entire 8 years of self-study. The team is respectful and genuinely love to help. I'm so confident in their teaching abilities!"

"This course genuinely feels like it saved me years of trial and error. I not only learned a huge amount but thoroughly enjoyed the experience and felt treated like a peer rather than a beginner."

FAQ

Got questions?

No. We have mentors suited to every stage, from complete beginners who haven't finished their first track to intermediate producers ready to take their sound to a professional level. During the application process we'll assess where you're at and match you to the right mentor.
Our mentors are experienced across Ableton Live, Logic Pro and Bitwig. However, 99% of the techniques we teach are transferable across all DAW's.
Sessions can be conducted online or in-person, depending on your preference. We're based in Auckland, NZ but work with producers globally.
Yes, absolutely. There are no lock-in contracts. You can cancel anytime. We'd rather you stay because the value is undeniable — not because you're trapped.
Our core focus is Drum & Bass and Dubstep, including all sub-genres: liquid, neurofunk, jump-up, half-time, minimal, etc. The principles of mixing, sound design and arrangement we teach translate broadly across electronic music.
A good rule of thumb: if you have 2–4 hours a week for music, Starter gives you the right cadence. If you're more serious and have time to action feedback fortnightly, Pro is our most popular choice. Elite is for producers who are fully committed and want the fastest possible progress. If you're unsure, apply and we'll advise you.
