301 Academy Alumni

  • Being a part of the 301 Academy really inspired me to take my career to the next level and it helped me learn a lot of aspects about production, vocal production and mixing that you can’t just learn on the Internet. The team are all so good at what they do and they really do care about each and every student that comes through the doors. Every question I had was answered in depth and that new level of understanding has really helped me come out of the experience a better musician.

  • The 301 Academy opened my eyes to aspects of being a producer that you simply can’t learn unless you’re actually in the room. The opportunity to go through a record's creation to release taught me so many important aspects of working in the industry aside from writing a great record. It would be an understatement to say the 301 Academy made me a better producer, engineer & artist.

  • “The Studios 301 Academy was a real industry experience I recommend anyone looking to grasp or get a feel for how the music recording industry works, regardless of their background. The Academy has validated, and further improved the recording practices and techniques I've used up to this point in my career.  I must say that Stefan and Jack were "open books" when sharing their knowledge and experience as well as being supportive as a collective knowledge within the engineers.”

  • “The Academy Project opened my eyes to industry level production. To learn from engineers who have worked with some of my musical heroes was a great honour. I now have access to first class recording, mixing and mastering techniques. Because of the academy, my clientele in Melbourne and overseas has grown and there’s a confidence in my voice when I go to events and network with musicians, artists and other producers. The fire in me burns brighter and stronger. A massive thank you to Ron and the whole team at Studios 301.”
