Shuriken Challenge

The DAW war

You open Ableton and it looks like a spaceship

Buttons, tracks, instruments, effects, windows everywhere.

And since you don't know yet what you need for your first song and what you can ignore, you reach a pretty logical conclusion:

"Before I make anything, I have to learn all of this."

Ableton. Theory. Chords. Mixing. Plugins.

None of that is useless. You just don't need all of it yet.

So weeks go by, sometimes months, learning things about production… without finishing a single song.

I learned it the hard way

Twelve years installing and deleting the software

I wanted to learn to produce when I was 15. I'd open the software, it looked like a spaceship to me, and since I wanted to do it on my own, I'd end up giving up.

Until I asked for help and finished my first song. It wasn't amazing. But it was mine, and I remember jumping around with joy.

And that's when I thought: what did I really need to make this? Every button in Ableton? No. Playing the piano? No. Mastering music theory? Not that either.

The path

One piece at a time

You're not going to learn "music production". You're going to build a song, piece by piece, learning only what each step asks for.

And then you do it again. Because the goal of your first song isn't to be perfect: it's to walk the whole path once.

They've already done it

315 students. Record: 2 days.

These are real messages from students of the Spanish edition (translated in each card).

Amaia

She came from music school and had done "a thousand courses" without finishing a track. Following this process, she finished one in 10 days.

"I switched my mindset overnight."

María

She joined thinking she wouldn't have time to finish the challenge. Two days later, what she had started was well on its way to becoming a full song.

Alfonso

He started with the Ableton free trial, finished his first song with Shuriken and ended up releasing it on Beatport, Spotify, YouTube and Apple Music.

Héctor

He wanted to make remixes for his DJ sets. He sent me his project when he was finishing the first one, with the chords and bass made by him.

Some go faster. Others need all ten days. You've got ten.

What you get

10 days, 10 steps, one song

Guarantee

If you do the work and don't get there, I'll refund 100%

Every day has a specific goal. Watching the video isn't enough: you have to do what's asked and submit it.

If you get stuck, try to solve it yourself first. If you can't move forward, message us and we'll help.

If you meet the goals of all 10 days, submit what we ask for, use the support when you really need it and still don't manage to create and export your first song, I'll refund 100% of what you paid.

Questions

Why so cheap?

Shuriken is the first step

It's not where I want to make the most money with you. I want you to finish your first song, see how I work and let me see how you work.

After that I have more advanced programs, like Beatmaker Method, where I work for months much closer to each student. And before you consider something like that, I'd rather we've actually worked together.
