The ill.Methodology Complete Collection
This truly is the complete collection of my work as a music educator
I’ve extended my methodologies to help producers at every level of production and built an entire collection of my workshops, samples and products. I’ve founded a record label and a music community. I’m still doing work for big names and all of that work is in this complete collection.

BASS SOUND DESIGN
Go beyond the presets you start with - feel the difference in your low end! This is the most detailed course we’ve ever made on emphasizing the deepest (and arguably one of the most important) areas of production. The best way to build your own unique sound is by diving into the course, and using the knowledge to craft something that is undeniably you!

(Just Added!)
This course covers DJing as only ill.Gates can, drawing on two decades of experience playing 2-5 nights a week as well as designing the first commercial Ableton DJ Templates and building performance interfaces for a laundry list of top acts on the side. Learn how an audience thinks and feels, programming and prep tricks galore, DJing with CDJs, DJing with Rekordbox, DJing with video, making your setup redundant and foolproof, handling fan interactions, booking tours, getting an agent... it's all in there and it's STILL growing. With free updates for life this is quickly shaping up to be the best DJ course around!
Music History AND Appreciation
with ill.Gates
(Just Added!)
This course may be a work in progress but it doesn't feel like work to me! This series is a deep dive into the music that has inspired over the years, stopping to smell the roses at every turn. Improving your listening is 80% of producing. All the technique and ability in the world can't help you hit the targets you're not aiming for.There are classes on history, modern genres, individual musicians, and timeless techniques that will give you both knowledge and entertainment for years to come. This is one of the best things in the entire Dojo. If I could get away with it I'd just make these all day.
Making Melodies:
How to compose melodic music
(Just Added!)
This course contains everything you need to know to go from a total beginner to a melodic expert. It covers basic music theory, composition, phrasing, arrangement, leads, counterpoint, progression, and most importantly: creating tension and release that takes your listeners on a satisfying journey.
Vocals and Vocalists:
How To Write And Record Songs With Vocals
(Just Added!)
This comprehensive course covers everything you need to know to work with vocalists, write and record your own original vocals, incorporate vocal glitch techniques, and finally: how to mix your vocals to sound loud, clear, and competitive with the records you love.
Transcending The Template:
Digging, Prep, and Organization with ill.Gates
(Just Added!)
This stuff is not only the most effective thing to focus on, it's my specialty! I love teaching this stuff because it makes a massive difference and requires zero practice or skill. It's like building a machine; if you follow these steps you will make much more interesting music right away. Learning what to dig for and why, exactly which tools are the most effective, and what NOT to worry about will save you hundreds of hours for every hour you invest. This is the high grade and I got LOADS of it.
