• Jimmy A - Tuesday, July 26, 2022
  Just completed the Ableton Live: Producer course over a weekend. It was fantastic and exceeded my expectations. Simon is a great tutor, knows Ableton inside out and I was blown away by the stuff he taught us that I knew little about about. I came away inspired, with a lot of ideas and a great set of notes from the course. I couldn't recommend it highly enough!
• Liam Smith - Tuesday, June 22, 2021
  Just finished the producer course with Simon and was no surprise after having done the creator course already that it was brilliant.
  
  Learned loads every week and had fun in the process, a lot of things he’s perfected himself through years of experience, you can’t go and find that stuff out. Well worth it!
  
  Will be returning as soon as possible and am looking forward to it. Go and see him you’ll not look back.
• Steven Jones - Tuesday, June 22, 2021
  My first experience of subSine | Academy was at the beginning of first lockdown after purchasing an online creators course with in-depth training on how to write and structure a track from scratch, start to finish.
  
  Each Module was broke down into easy to follow short video tutorials and taught by Simon effortlessly to help me understand Ableton and how to use it properly.
  
  From then I have just completed the producers course and will be joining the artists course later this year to progress further. If anyone is thinking of joining a music academy then don't hesitate. This is the one!
  
  Best decision I made.

  The main man Simon’s outlook and genuine interest in your learning will make you feel instantly at ease and enable you to flourish with Ableton Live. Simon’s encyclopaedic knowledge is on tap as soon as you step into the subSine Academy journey and musical family.
  
  From my very personal experience – Taking these courses has not only shown me how to make music with Ableton Live starting as a complete beginner, but it has also allowed me to take my life in a whole other and exciting direction.

  If you're looking for somewhere to start out or continue learning music then this is the place to go!!
  
  From as soon as you walk into subSine academy you can see how dedicated to music the place is. It can seem daunting starting a course doing something you've never done before but you'll realise straight away that this place is very welcoming and has a very relaxed but professional atmosphere.
  
  The courses themselves are top class, Simon the tutor is very friendly and you can see his passion for music straight away.
  
  I've personally done the creator and producers course and have seen a massive difference in my music from when I first started using Ableton.
  
  Worth every penny spent and you will definitely get your money's worth when booking a course here.

  Had an amazing experience undertaking the Creator and Producer courses. Simon Stokes is a fantastic tutor and his knowledge, enthusiasm and experience are second to none!
  
  Classes are extremely relaxed where you learn and practice new techniques in a friendly and encouraging environment alongside like minded people. If you are interested in turning your musical desires into reality then Simon Stokes is the man to see and this is the place to go! Cannot recommend highly enough! An extraordinary experience!!! 😀

  I attended the Weekend Producer Course. Simon Stokes is both an incredibly adept musician and a fantastic tutor, making this course absolutely essential for anyone interested in taking their knowledge of Ableton and music production to the next level. Simon has a particular talent for taking quite complex topics and presenting them with an ease of understanding to the group, and has really helped me improve my understanding of Live’s inner workings.
  
  Over the two-day course a huge volume of material was covered, but it always felt like there was time to explore tangents, questions and ideas from the group. Simon was able to give really useful advice on pretty much everything; complex sound design, field recording in sound design, live set-ups, correct microphone choice, working with and processing audio, click tracks for live bands – the list goes on. For me it’s his insider knowledge and wealth of musical experience that makes the course so valuable. I simply cannot recommend this highly enough!
• Stuart - Thursday, August 15, 2019
  Simon is a fantastic tutor who knows Ableton and music production inside out. Would thoroughly recommend the courses here - well designed and delivered.
• Nick Perman - Wednesday, August 14, 2019
  Fantastic experience learning with Simon at subSine | Academy. The course provides an extensive, personalised look into how to improve your production skills. The coursework was challenging, yet attainable, and has personally helped me on my journey as a producer.
  
  For anyone looking for a personalised, comprehensive production course run by some of the best in the business, i highly recommend giving Simon and the team a shout!
• Lewis Bates - Monday, July 8, 2019
  Excellent course and facilities! Simon the instructor was incredibly informative and knew the answers to any further questions I had of the back of his hand! Would definitely recommend
• Alan - Tuesday, June 18, 2019
  Simon's 2-day Producer (Weekender) course is very well structured and provides invaluable information on methods and tools to use in Ableton that I believe can truly make a HUGE difference in any (aspiring or professional) electronic music producers ability and productions in their preferred genre. If, like me, you feel as if you've scrolled through every tutorial on youtube ever uploaded and you can't seem to fill in the gaps - get yourself down and Simon will fill them in for you. 5/5
• Gerry McGhee - Friday, May 31, 2019
  This was my 3rd time at the studio and it certainly won’t be my last. From start to finish it was an absolute pleasure being there. Simon's knowledge in Ableton is second to none, as well as his knowledge and expertise in electronic music production in general.
  
  The classes are taught in a friendly and engaging manner and nothing is too much hassle for him. I honestly can’t recommend it highly enough. With detailed and structured course notes and access to online tuition,every base is thoroughly covered.
  
  I started out with no knowledge of Ableton at all and now I’m aiming to get tracks finished and sent out to labels. Anyone looking to further themselves in electronic music production needs to get signed up for a course asap.
• Jim Lamb - Saturday, May 4, 2019
  I've just completed the Ableton Producer Weekender course at Shoogle with Simon Stokes providing expert tuition in a fun, relaxed and informal manner.
  
  The course content is vast and with the course spread over 16 hours in two days, there is plenty to keep you on your toes.
  
  Simons' ability as a teacher is second to none. His style is easy to follow, even for a novice like me.
  
  I feel on the back of the Introducer course, my level has gone up significantly whereby I'm equipped with knowledge to produce decent material.
  
  Of course, included with the course are detailed notes which you can use at home to really supplement and reinforce the in-class training.There is also an super active Facebook group where past attendees share a multitude of information, networking, and generally support each other, which in itself is a great help.
  
  All that's left for me to say is.... What are you waiting for? Get yourself booked up and enjoy learning an excellentt program with an expert tutor guiding you through.
• Myles Brady - Monday, April 1, 2019
  I’ve done all the weekend courses and it’s the best thing I’ve done for progressing as a producer. I would have given up music production before I even started if I hadn’t of stumbled across these courses.
  
  All the tutors are really helpful and knowledgeable so your learning from the best!
  
  The course is really well structured and some really in depth course notes that are priceless for when you are at home and find you might have forgotten something.
  
  If your thinking of doing a music production course don’t think about this one, just do it... take my word for it you won’t be disappointed:)
• Graham Murdoch - Saturday, September 22, 2018

• Duncan - Thursday, January 18, 2018
  5 Stars without a doubt, excellent courses with continued support.
• Michael McGlinchey - Wednesday, September 28, 2016
  I've done the Introducer and Producer courses, and the knowledge and insights these courses have provided have been first rate. I've been converted to Ableton and have learnt a huge amount about music production in general. I thought I knew quite a lot about synthesis and sound engineering but Simon has opened my eyes, and ears, to a vast range of new possibilities and techniques. Course notes are excellent and teaching is done in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
• Craig Penman - Thursday, September 24, 2015
  Worth every penny! Simon is a top guy and knows Ableton inside out. He manages to put even the most complex of topics across in a way that makes it easy to understand.
  
  Would recommend it to anyone using Ableton, the course is 100% worth doing.
• Paul Hood - Tuesday, May 26, 2015
  Having done both the Creator & Producer courses, I have to say they were both excellent. Simon Stokes is an excellent teacher and the course formats are great, building up knowledge in a way that makes sense.
  
  Highly recommend these courses if you're looking to learn ableton and/or improve your production techniques.
• Ricky Simpson - Friday, February 6, 2015
  For anyone with a passion for electronic music looking to make the step into production, you should check out the Soma Skool courses @ SUBSINE. The Introducer course covers all aspects of production using Ableton Live and teaches you how to create your own tracks from scratch, followed by the Producer course which covers more advanced production techniques and how to sync up hardware synths and drum machines as well as recording vocals and other instruments.
  
  The classes have a great laid back atmosphere and are taught by doing theory and practical sessions, which I found great as you could get ideas down and ask questions while everything was fresh in mind. You also get excellent set's of comprehensive course notes which are very easy to follow and allow you to work away at home.
  
  The courses are taught by Soma artist Simon Stokes. Simon has a great way of explaining things and breaking down the technical terminology and always takes the time to answer any questions you have, as well as sharing his knowledge and experiences as a producer. The class demo of his Petrichor live set was a personal highlight!
