I took the in person Ableton Immersive class and it was amazing! My teacher (Dane) was so knowledgable and inspirational. I feel really comfortable using Ableton now and have two tracks from the class. Also going in person was nice because it kept me accountable. It’s cool that 343 even has that offering since so many people are doing remote only classes. I definitely hesitated at first, but I thought. If I was going to take do a masters program, I would stop working and pay wayyy more money, and I want to learn it so why not do it? That was one of the best decisions of my life. If you are hesitating, just do it! It’s totally worth it.

I love taking classes with 343 Labs. I started in 2019, completely fresh. I knew nothing about production or music! If you’re serious about pursuing music production and want to make an investment in yourself, 343 labs was a great place for me to start my journey and figure out what I want to do. It really feels like a community here. The teachers know thier stuff; John Selway and Abe Duque teach here. I took the 2 Ableton Live classes along with Synthesizers for producers. These classes gave me a pretty good grounding in these tools. It’s also helped me navigate the technical depth in this industry. Solid investment for me!

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about my experience at 343 labs. Instructors are incredibly talented and knowledgeable. Class sizes are small enough that you get a ton of personalized attention and you can learn from the other student’s work as well. No matter what kind of music you want to make, instructors and classmates offer super valuable feedback. If you’ve ever thought about learning how to make electronic music or getting a more intimate understanding of Ableton, Logic, mixing/mastering, etc (they have tons of different courses) I can’t think of a better place.

I cannot say enough good things about our experiences with 343 Labs! My teenage son has spent two summers in the 343 Labs summer program (in person last year and online this year) and absolutely loved it. The instructors are all experienced professionals who are equally gifted teachers. My son loves music production (he’s a very advanced student and practitioner for his age) and he’s learned so much in the program. We’ve found 343 Labs to be a nurturing, educational and fun environment that has had extremely positive influence on his development and joy of making music. Everyone at 343 Labs has been incredibly supportive of my son and gone out of their way to stay connected, continually encouraging his development in the most generous and sincere fashion. I should also mention that the facilities are fantastic if you plan to attend in person, but they also do a magnificent job teaching their courses online. Music production is well suited to teaching remotely and with so many activities cancelled now due to COVID its wonderful to have an activity that my son can participate in remotely. We are so happy to be part of the 343 community and I wholeheartedly encourage anyone considering taking classes at 343 Labs to do so. They are the real deal.

I moved from France just to take the classes and don’t regret my decision. The teachers are high level, we were only 3/4 students on each class, and it really pushed me to learn hards things that i would never have bothered self teaching. I really saw the value of going to a physical location for discipline purpose. Also Berlin is the place to be for networking. And networking is 50% of the job!
Thanks Max, keep it up!!
