Turn any loop into a full track in 60-90 minutes. This is the step-by-step training program I built to finish 31 tracks in one year while working full-time.
You can make a decent loop. But turning it into a full track? That’s where it falls apart.
You end up making 49 versions of the same idea. You get stuck with tracks that are nearly there… but never actually done. Or maybe some are 'finished', but don't flow like your favourite records.
So what’s the fix? Reps. 💪
To get fit, you don’t watch fitness videos. You train. Finishing music is the same. You need a system that trains those decisions.
It's a repeatable training program for finishing electronic music. Not a bloated course you watch once. Not a template you copy. A focused system you run through every time you make a track, plugging in your own sounds and style.
The first time you run through the Workout, you'll make a complete track structure in 60 to 90 minutes. Then you'll refine and finish the track with short follow-up sessions.
Here’s what that means in practice:
Make YOUR music, not someone else's template.
Finish your tracks while you follow the workout – train through reps, not theory.
Complete tracks you can send to labels, play in sets, and feel proud of.
Because this doesn't train you to finish one track. You'll become the kind of prolific producer who finishes every track as second nature – and actually feel good about the process :)
• You've got dozens of unfinished projects and no clear path to completing any of them.
• You can make loops but you struggle to turn them into full tracks.
• You can arrange, but the process is painful and the results are hit-or-miss.
• You want a repeatable system for YOUR sound, not a template to copy.

Help your tracks arrange themselves by starting with the two elements that give your track instant direction and potential.
Learn a method for fleshing out your track that makes every next move an obvious choice.
Build a complete structure from YOUR sounds, without copying someone else's arrangement.
Learn the refinement process that lets you evaluate your track honestly, without getting lost or losing perspective.
Decide what's essential and what's just perfectionism disguised as productivity. You'll learn how to call a track done and actually mean it.
This is a workout program, not a one-off tutorial. The more reps you do, the faster you improve – the same way a gym program builds strength.

I finished 31 tracks in one year while working full-time at Cableguys. I've released many of them in the past few months.
Before that? I could arrange. I could finish tracks. But the process was slow, inconsistent, and I never trusted the results. Despite 20 years of music production experience, being former Editor of Computer Music magazine, a track with over 10 million streams, and plenty of BBC Radio 1 plays.
I knew my tools. I knew synthesis. I knew sound design. None of that knowledge made finishing tracks more reliable.
The breakthrough came when I stopped trying to learn more. I decided to build a system for making arrangement decisions quickly. A repeatable process I could follow every time I sat down to produce – whether the session was flowing or whether I was completely stuck.
The Loop-To-Track Workout is that system. The same one I now use to finish tracks on autopilot.

No. The system is deliberately simple, but simple doesn’t mean beginner-level.
I built it after 20 years of producing, when I already knew how to finish tracks. I just wasn’t doing it consistently or efficiently enough. I had the knowledge and the skills. The real problems were overthinking, overcomplicating everything and not having a repeatable process I could rely on.
And don’t just take my word for it. Read the feedback from members on this page. Many had already been producing for years before the Workout transformed how they approach finishing tracks.
You probably already know most of the individual techniques. The value is in how they fit together, and in repeating the process until finishing tracks becomes second nature.
The Workout was created specifically for producers of electronic and dance genres. Members have used it successfully across techno, house, drum & bass, garage, hip-hop, dubstep and other electronic styles.
You plug your own genre and taste into the system. The specifics will change, but the Workout gives you a repeatable way to make decisions without forcing every track into the same fixed template.
Members working in non-electronic genres have used it successfully too, although you’ll need to adjust some of the steps to fit the structure of your music.
If you can make a basic loop with drums, bass, synth presets and samples, you’re ready.
You don’t need advanced production knowledge, but you should know your way around your DAW. From there, the Workout gives you a process to follow and helps you build your finishing skills through repetition.
Some of the concepts will be familiar, especially if you’ve consumed everything I’ve made. But the Workout isn’t a collection of more tips. It’s the complete system those ideas fit into, laid out in order from your very first sound to a finished track, and designed to be followed inside your DAW.
Knowing individual exercises doesn’t get you fit. Following and repeating a structured training program does. That’s why this is a Workout: you follow the process, finish a track, then repeat it with your next one. With every rep, you adapt it to your own music and train the skill of finishing until it becomes more automatic.
If you’re looking to collect more information or discover another clever 'trick', the Workout probably isn’t for you. But if you’ve watched countless production videos and still have a folder full of unfinished tracks, that’s exactly the gap it was built to close.
Any approach can work. The Workout is designed to fit the music you make.
You can start with a sample or preset, build a simple sound from scratch as the track develops, or design more complex sounds in advance and bring them into the Workout ready to go.
The bonus videos show you where each approach fits, so sound design doesn’t kill your momentum.
Advanced, genre-specific sound design is outside the scope of the Workout. The focus is on fitting your sounds into a simple finishing workflow.
On your first run, you'll aim to build a complete track structure in 60 to 90 minutes. That’s a target, not a deadline. If you’d rather take longer, simply follow the same steps at your own pace.
The bigger shift comes through repetition. Each run helps you become faster and more confident. I recommend giving it at least 5 to 10 full reps so the process has time to become more natural and automatic.
You get 137 minutes of video in total: 13 focused teaching videos walking you through the full process, plus two 40-minute track builds from scratch.
It’s focused on purpose. The value is in using what you learn in your own tracks, not watching endless tutorials.
You also get the 46-page Track-Finishing Bible and tracker worksheets to guide every session.
The principles and framework work in any DAW. The demonstrations use Ableton Live, but the system is about decision-making, not software-specific techniques.
