"Excellent job with the course. It far exceeded my expectations both in terms of the quality of instruction and the progress I was able to achieve. I look forward to taking your Sound Design course in the future."

"Some people hesitate when thinking about spending money on something they usually don't spend money on, but I say it's a no-brainer. The course I took was worth every cent!"

“Before I was only learning from the internet and magazines… the kind of information I was after was quite specific though and this course has really hit the nail on the head in that respect”

"What would have taken me a year to learn on my own I learned in only 12 weeks with Point Blank. The online chat and video reviews with the  tutor assigned to the course are by far the best thing about the course.  You won't find another school out there with tutors who are established electronic music producers with years of experience in this genre.  This class has been the best thing I have done in my music career to date."

"I can say without a doubt that this is the best class I have ever taken in music production! The direct video feedback from a professional producer is priceless. For anyone debating whether or not to take these courses I say that the amount of knowledge and instruction given plus the downloadable files and professional feedback given are priceless. These classes are PERFECT for the aspiring music producer!"

"Thanks for providing such amazing & helpful courses.  Without pointblank online there is no way i would be able to write music the way i am now, in fact i could barely write a beat before i started. Working full time its hard to go to school but your courses are just what i need! I've completed the Ableton Producer Course & The Minimal Tech course. My teacher for both courses provided exceptional 1-2-1 feedback and tips on how to improve my sound. I plan to do the Sound Design & Mixing course some time next year! I recommend this course to anyone serious about producing music."

"The online courses are amazing and I cannot recommend them enough. You simply cannot get this level of industry relevant teaching anywhere else. I learned so much from both online courses in terms of the correct choice of sounds, MIDI programming, genre relevant production tips & inside industry knowledge and advice. Within the space of just over a year I have now improved my productions to the level that I was extremely grateful and humbled to be chosen in this year’s LOT49 competition."

“The second week of material just opened up and I wanted to take the time to thank you for putting together the course and for the videos on sound design and the Arp template!  Already the class is well worth the money.  I have been looking for the information covered here for what feels like years.  Mike has been great and his videos are extremely helpful as well!  Just wanted to share the love…”

"I just want to say this whole experience was AMAZING!!!!! It is one of the best music courses I've ever taken. Everything is presented and explained well. I've been using compression for years and after your tutorial I FINALLY got it on a whole new level. Great job! I was so sad when I finished my homework and I realized there wouldn't be another lesson waiting for me!"

"You have no idea how much I love Electronic Music, I have been wishing to produce my own tracks since I started DJ'ing at age 15. You, your classes and your team have made one of my dreams come true and for me that is priceless."

“I’m taking the Ableton course and its awesome. I really think I have got better producing skills even after a few weeks. The video review i get back every week has loads of good advice and tips. Kinda dont want it to end! It's really cool having a professional going over your work”

"This has been the biggest learning experience of my life to date. The Minimal course got me on track and this has just blown me away. Massive massive thanks for all your time and effort spent running through messy projects of mine. Watching all the feedback videos has been fascinating. It's nice to have a tutor who actually gives a sh** and gives you that one to one time as well"

Danny (the tutor) clearly shows his experience. It was amazing to see and learn so much from him. Being able to upload my music was brilliant too. One of the best bits on the video side of things was being able to download everyone else projects and then watch Danny's review on it, you learned a lot more that way too. Its just been a brilliant course.

"Can't believe 12 weeks have flown by already! I'd like to say a big thanks to my tutor for his consistency, professionalism and damn good tips and feedback. I have learned a lot in this course and will definitely recommend Point Blank to anybody who is serious about pursuing a career in music production."

"Having been a professional musician for many years, I figured I’d be able to manage digital recording. But I found myself deciphering manuals and struggling with software, rather than actually recording music. I discovered Point Blank Online and now I am recording, editing and mixing audio like a pro!"

"I am finding this course to be invaluable and very informative and I am enjoying it greatly. The online format enables me to work through a course, when a regular in-person course would not be possible. :)"

"What a great way to teach about the mystery that was compression to me for the longest time. You solved it in 5 minutes for me! Thanks a million. Peace"

"Thanks heaps - you have improved my music production by leaps and bounds. I could go so far as saying this is the best course I have ever done and it's all thanks to you. Hopefully I can enrol on another course pretty soon."

"Thanks for a great course. I really appreciate your whole vibe and the fact that you are so generous with sharing your vast knowledge"

"I really enjoyed the course because it got me writing again after a long period of lack of enthusiasm. The tutor was happy to teach topics outside the course scope, which was great. I have learned many new techniques which have greatly improved the quality of my music. One happy customer! Thanks!"

"Thanks very much for the feedback - really appreciate it. I have just started a label and the course has been an enormous help for me to do that ..Thanks again."

"I wasn't sure how much you could learn online but thankfully I've been proven wrong. Just from doing lesson three on the minimal course I learned loads…I would recommend this course to anybody."

"I cannot believe the stuff I have learned in such a short space of time. Anyone who is serious about developing their production skills, needs to take this course."

"I was delighted that from day one, I was studying alongside a record producer; someone with production credits on an array of commercial recordings. The tutor provides tailored feedback for each week during the course. Thanks again!"

"It was really great for me to share my passion for music and to grow with someone who is passionate as well. Someone bringing me his technical expertise advice and creativity."

"These vids are unique , I've learned a lot here and this is one of the best courses I've seen, based on one specific genre. Thnx a lot Danny and Point Blank! Respect man"

"It feels great to be a student at your School!"

"Very helpful course: Thanks a lot to (my tutor) Dave for your help and support, understanding... and of course constructive criticism :)"

"Thanks for the course it's been brilliant. Not only has it improved my minimal sound, but also my general logic skills. I'm much more comfortable with the application now. Cheers!"

"This was the best college course I've done. From week one I was making beats and I didn't even know where to start before I began this course. I 100% recommend this to anyone"
