England, U.K.
July 13th - 19th 2019
The Airbit Academy Music Producer Retreat is an exclusive 5 day collaborative experience set in a mansion in the heart of the English countryside. It's a unique opportunity for you to take time out from your normal life to focus on developing yourself as a producer and entrepreneur. We take care of everything so that you can completely focus on your craft and your business. It's a chance to be around, work with, and learn from focused and talented music producers who take their music, and making a living from music, seriously. You'll receive masterclasses, mentoring and feedback from music producers who make six figures a year from selling beats online, as well as have the opportunity to meet and spend time with the Airbit Founder and CEO, Wasim Khamlichi.
Each day starts with a 1 to 2 hour masterclass on topics such as: Craft and Musicianship; Mixing and Mastering; Marketing and Branding; Online Beat Selling; Building Relationships and Networking; Behind the Beats and more. You will then be teamed up with the mentors and other producers to make a new beat. At the end of the day, we will hold feedback sessions where you can receive constructive feedback to help take your production to the next level.
Collaboration is one of the best ways to develop your skills as a music producer and spark new creativity. It takes you out of your comfort zone and enables you to learn new techniques and ways of creating.
Mentoring is one of the best ways to fast track your business to success. Learning from those who are currently hugely successful at making a living from music, means you can avoid the pitfalls of simply striking out on your own.
Peer feedback can offer another perspective and offer suggestions to improve your production - taking your music to the next level.
The experience will be intensive, fun and a massive learning journey no matter what stage of your career you are in.
In their own words...
Tone Jonez: 'With almost 30 years of musicianship experience and over 20 years of music production experience, I've learned how to turn my seasoned knowledge of music into a thriving business! I'm able to create the kind of music that I authentically love and support my family 100% with my passion. My goal is to pass my personal methods on and help other producers unlock the potential that's already inside of them! I look forward to being 100% transparent with my knowledge and answering all questions possible. My goal is for all participating producers to leave inspired, armed with tools, and ready to fall in love with music all over again. See you there!' https://tonejonez.com/

Tommaso Pinto | DopeBoyz: 'After being in the business of selling beats online for 10+ years, my brother and I were able to turn our hobby to a six-figure business. During the process we've used a variety of marketing tactics to build up our business to what it is today. It took us years of trial and error and a lot of wasted money to figure out what actually works and what not and I'm looking forward to share what I find the most efficient tools and a step by step guide on how we use them to market our business with all participants. My goal is to give every attendee the tools to combine a quality product with efficient marketing, so they can turn their hobby into their full time job like we did.' https://dopeboyzmuzic.com/
On his masterclass...
Alessandro Pinto | Dopeboyz: 'Mixing is a philosophy of its own and there's really no right or wrong way to do it as long as you achieve your desired sound, but when it comes to urban music, there are patterns that most records follow and stylistic features that can be found in almost every song. Mixing is the process of taking all raw audio material and recordings and shaping them into a finished sounding song by technically making the audio sound as good as possible and once released, a song will technically compete with every music that's out there, therefor it's important that a mix lives up to certain standards. After years of mixing, training my ears and analyzing the sound of legendary producers, engineers and musicians, I found out how to achieve the sound I always wanted, a sound that is crisp, clean and big. I will share my mixing and mastering process, explaining what I do, how I do it, which tools I use and I'll answer all questions possible, so I can hopefully enable all participants to get a step closer to achieving the sound they've always wanted.' https://dopeboyzmuzic.com/
