Learn to Produce Professional Music
AND Build a Business From It
11 modules. 150+ video lessons. Two complete production cycles. Plus the branding, marketing, and business training that no other audio course includes. From song idea to paying clients.
Most Courses Teach You How to Make Music.
Nobody Teaches You How to Make a Living From It.
Here’s what happened to me. I learned to produce. I learned to mix. I learned to master. I could take a song from idea to finished product. But nobody ever showed me what to do next.
So I did what most producers do. I posted in forums. I offered my services in Facebook groups. I got clients who wanted professional-quality work for $20 and unlimited revisions. Meanwhile, producers I knew personally were building real businesses, attracting good clients, and never seemed to struggle for income.
I couldn’t figure out what they were doing differently. I knew my work was good. I had the skills. But skills alone weren’t paying the bills.
The problem wasn’t my audio production. It was everything around it.
I didn’t know how to position myself. I didn’t know how to find the right clients instead of chasing anyone who’d pay. I didn’t know how to build a brand, create an offer, or market my services in a way that attracted people who actually valued quality work.
So I spent years figuring it out. I studied branding. I studied marketing. I tested Facebook Ads. I built websites. I learned copywriting. I failed a lot. I wasted money. And eventually, I built a system that worked.
The production system got my tracks released on Armada Music and featured in DJ Mag. The business system turned those skills into actual income.
If You’re Thinking Any of This, You’re Not Alone
“I already know how to produce. I just need clients.”
Then you’re exactly who the business modules are built for. Modules 8 through 11 cover market research, copywriting, website building, and Facebook advertising. These aren’t generic business tips. They’re specific strategies for audio producers who want to turn their skills into a real service business. But if your production skills could also use sharpening, the first 7 modules will level those up too.
“I’m still learning production. Isn’t it too early to think about business?”
It’s actually the perfect time. Most producers wait until they’re “good enough” and then realize they have zero idea how to find clients or market themselves. Learning both at the same time means you’ll be ready to start earning the moment your skills are there. Plus, understanding the business side changes how you approach your craft. You start thinking about deliverables, not just creative projects.
“$19.99/month adds up over time.”
It does. And if you go through the program with focus, you can complete it in 2 to 3 months. That’s $40 to $60 total for 150+ video lessons, two complete production cycles, two downloadable Pro Tools sessions, 20+ cheat sheets, and an entire marketing system. Compare that to buying separate courses on production, mixing, mastering, and business for $500+. Or spending years figuring it out alone.
“I’ve bought courses before and never finished them.”
The Academy is designed as a day-by-day system. Each module has homework. There are built-in production days and rest days. It’s structured like a real program, not a library of random videos you’ll forget about. And because it’s a monthly subscription, you have a natural reason to stay focused and finish.
What Makes This Different From Other Programs
There are plenty of production courses. There are plenty of business courses. The Audio Business Academy is the only program built specifically for audio producers that combines both into one system.
- Teach production OR mixing OR mastering (one skill)
- No business or marketing training
- One production cycle
- $250–$500+ one-time
- No downloadable sessions
- Generic community forum
- Complete pipeline from song idea to finished master
- Business modules: branding, marketing, Facebook Ads
- Two full production cycles with different approaches
- $19.99/month — cancel anytime
- 2 real Pro Tools sessions to download and study
- Private VIP Facebook Group with direct access to Adrian
Two Complete Production Cycles — Not Just One
The first cycle (Music Production Masterclass) takes you from song idea to mastered track with vocals, instruments, and full arrangement. The second cycle (Masterclass 2.0) teaches a completely different production approach with advanced mixing techniques like gain staging, console emulation, stereo imaging, and saturation. Two songs. Two methods. Double the experience.
Real Business Training — Not Just “Start a SoundCloud”
Modules 8 through 11 teach you how to research your market, write compelling copy, build a professional website, and run Facebook Ads that actually convert. This is the stuff that turns skills into income. No other audio production program includes this.
A Membership You Can Complete — Not Collect
The Academy is structured as a 30-day program with daily lessons, homework, and built-in practice days. It’s designed to be completed, not accumulated. Most focused students finish in 1 to 3 months.
Hey, I’m Adrian Milea.
Mixing & Mastering Engineer, Music Producer, and Educator with 25+ years in audio production. I’ve been where you are. I started with an 8-channel mixer and a keyboard, learned through years of mistakes, and eventually built a system that works.
My work has been released on Armada Music. DJ Mag featured one of my self-produced and self-mastered tracks in 2013. I was a finalist at the Academy of Electronic Music, organized by Google, Armada Music, and Point Blank Music School.
But here’s what really changed my life: learning the business side. The production skills got me recognition. The business skills turned those into a career. The Audio Business Academy teaches you both.
I’m not going to promise you’ll get rich. I’m going to teach you the exact production system and business framework I built over 25 years. What you do with it is up to you.
Two Tracks. One Complete System.
The Academy is built in two tracks that work together. You can focus on production first, business second, or work through both simultaneously.
From Song Idea to Finished Master (Twice)
7 modules covering every step of audio production. Two complete songs built from scratch with different approaches. Composition, lyrics, production, recording, vocal tuning, mixing, and mastering. And more songs are being added regularly, so the library keeps growing.
Includes: Music Production Masterclass + Masterclass 2.0 · 100+ video lessons · 2 downloadable Pro Tools sessions · Daily homework · Built-in practice days
From Skills to Paying Clients
4 modules covering everything you need to turn your audio skills into a real business. Market research, copywriting, professional website creation, and a complete Facebook Ads marketing system from zero to running campaigns.
Includes: Market Research · Copywriting · Website Building · Facebook Marketing (full course with audiences, pixels, campaigns, and scaling) · 50+ video lessons · Key points & assignments for every lesson
Here’s Exactly What’s Inside
11 modules. 150+ video lessons. A complete system from song idea to paying clients.
Your First Complete Song: Idea to Master
Find a song idea, write lyrics, compose, produce, record vocals and instruments, edit audio, tune vocals, mix the entire track, and master it for release. Step by step. Day by day. You’ll finish with a professionally produced and mastered song.
Your Second Song: Advanced Techniques
Build a second song from scratch using a completely different production approach. Advanced gain staging, console emulation, subtractive EQ, stereo width and depth, saturation, automation, multiband compression, and a deeper mastering workflow including mix touch-ups and final printing. This is where intermediate producers become advanced.
Master Market Research
Learn how to identify your target audience, research what they actually need, and position your services so the right people find you. This is the foundation of everything that comes next.
Master Copywriting
Learn how to write compelling copy that sells your audio services. Headlines, descriptions, ad text, website content. The words you use to describe your work are just as important as the work itself.
How to Create a Professional Website
Build a professional website for your audio production business from scratch. Essential homepage elements, hero sections, benefits, pricing, testimonials, contact, and more. No coding required.
Master Facebook Marketing
The most in-depth module in the Academy. Learn Facebook Ads from zero: how they work, Business Manager setup, pixel installation, custom audiences, lookalike audiences, market research through Facebook, ad copywriting, campaign design and creation, scaling strategies, and advertising policies. This alone would cost $500+ as a standalone course.
Plus, You Get These Bonuses
🎛️ Bonus 1: 2 Real Pro Tools Sessions (Value: $2,000)
Both finished sessions from the two production cycles. All MIDI tracks, audio tracks, and every plugin setting. Open them, study them, use them as templates for your own projects.
📋 Bonus 2: 20+ Cheat Sheets, Templates & Key Points (Value: $497)
Reference sheets for every stage of production and every business module. Print them and keep them next to your screen. Step-by-step guides so you always know exactly what to do next.
👥 Bonus 3: Private VIP Facebook Group

♾️ Bonus 4: All Future Songs, Lessons & Sessions
I’m actively adding more fully produced, mixed, and mastered songs to the Academy. Each new song means a new production cycle you can study and learn from. New lessons, sessions, and bonuses are yours for free as long as your membership is active.
Real Feedback From Real Students
This was an awesome Mastering course! I’ve seen others from Streaky, Justin Colletti, Ian Shepherd… but this one teaches in a better, clearer way.
Gigi M. — Audio Producer
It was really helpful to see the plug-ins you use and most importantly how you apply them in your work. Being able to review each video as I worked on my own music was extremely helpful. I feel like this course has given me a great start in this journey!

The Audio Business Academy Is For You If…
You want more than just audio skills. You want a clear path from learning production to actually building something from it.
- Home studio producers who want to create professional-sounding music and eventually get paid for it
- Beatmakers and artists who want to learn the full production pipeline and start selling their services
- Audio graduates who learned theory in school but need hands-on production skills and a business plan
- Producers who already have skills but don’t know how to find good clients or market themselves
- Anyone who wants to build an audio production business offering composing, producing, mixing, or mastering services
- Producers stuck in a day job who want a realistic plan to build income from audio production on the side
This Is NOT For You If…
- You’re looking for a get-rich-quick scheme. Building a real audio business takes work and dedication.
- You’re not willing to practice and apply what you learn. Watching videos without doing the homework won’t change anything.
- You don’t own a DAW or know how to open one. You need basic DAW skills to follow the production modules.

Your Investment
A single production course costs $200 to $500. A Facebook Ads course costs $300 to $1,000. Business mentorship programs charge $500+ for a few weeks. Buying all of this separately would easily cost $1,500 or more.
Or you can get everything in one place, for less than the cost of a single plugin rental.

Got Questions? I’ve Got Answers.
Is this a monthly subscription?
+
Yes. You get full access to everything for $19.99/month + tax where applicable. You can cancel anytime directly from your account settings.
How long will it take to complete the program?
+
The production track is structured as a 30-day program. The business modules add another few weeks depending on your pace. Most focused students complete everything in 2 to 3 months. That’s $40 to $60 total for the entire program.
What’s the difference between the Music Production Masterclass and the Audio Business Academy?
+
The standalone Music Production Masterclass is the first production cycle (Modules 1 through 4) with lifetime access, no subscription, and includes personal track feedback from me on your finished production. The Audio Business Academy includes that same production training plus Masterclass 2.0 (Modules 5 through 7) with advanced techniques, plus the full Business and Marketing training (Modules 8 through 11). The Academy uses the VIP group for feedback instead of 1-on-1 review. If personal feedback matters most to you, go standalone. If you want the full system including business training, go Academy.
Is the Pro Audio Mastering course included?
+
No. Pro Audio Mastering is a separate, specialized course that goes much deeper into mastering techniques including hybrid hardware workflows. You can purchase it separately if you want to take your mastering skills to the next level.
What DAW do I need?
+
Any DAW works. I use Pro Tools in the course, but the techniques apply to Logic, Ableton, FL Studio, Cubase, Reaper, or anything else. The principles are universal.
Do I need expensive plugins or gear?
+
No. You can start with stock DAW plugins and affordable tools. I show you what matters and what’s a waste of money. Knowing what you’re doing matters infinitely more than expensive gear.
Do I need to know music theory?
+
No. The course teaches practical methods, not academic theory. If you can hear a melody and feel a rhythm, you have enough.
What if I only want the business modules?
+
You get access to everything when you join. You can skip straight to the business track (Modules 8 through 11) if your production skills are already solid. The beauty of the membership is you have full access to use what you need.
How do I cancel?
+
You can cancel directly from your account settings at any time. No emails, no questions, no hassle. Your access continues until the end of your billing period.
What if I don’t like the program?
+
You have a full 30-day money-back guarantee. If it’s not for you, email me within 30 days and I’ll refund your first payment. No hoops.
Does my location matter?
+
No. If you have internet access, you can take this program. Students from all over the world have enrolled.
Two Paths. Your Choice.
Path 1: Keep learning in isolation
Watch more tutorials. Buy more plugins. Get better at production but have no idea how to turn it into income. Stay stuck in a day job wondering “what if.” Keep telling yourself you’ll figure out the business part later. Later never comes.
Path 2: Follow a complete system
Join the Academy. Learn production and business together. In 2 to 3 months, you’ll have two complete songs, a professional website, a marketing system, and a clear plan for building real income from your audio skills. For less than $60 total.
I spent years as a skilled producer who couldn’t pay bills with audio production.
Not because I lacked talent. Because nobody taught me the business side.
That’s why I built this program. So you don’t have to learn it the hard way.
