You’ve finally found it! The reason you struggle to make
the quality music you KNOW you have within you...
Beat frustration for good when you discover this BRAND NEW BREAKTHROUGH...
a "brain-based" approach to make much better music in a lot less time:
Have you noticed how you end up making some of the BEST music you’ve ever made - without even trying?
Or maybe a lot of your best music felt like it happened almost accidentally?
Have you found that the more fun you have, the better the music gets?
These experiences are universal for anyone who finishes the best music they could.
(If you finish good music but haven't had these experiences, you're likely making a fraction of the quality and quantity you could.)
So, what’s the reason we often gravitate towards these approaches?
For some reason we have it in our heads that the creative process is like a school maths exam.
(If you’re North American - that would be “math exam”.)
As if a "furrowed brow" will unlock your inner genius. This is more likely to make that flighty mofo of yours run a mile.
Sure, it might work if you’re a brain surgeon. Or pilot. Or lawyer.
But here’s what I’ve discovered from 25 years making music and 10 years coaching musicians, composers and music producers...
The “school maths exam” approach signals the long, slow death of any creative process.
(Sometimes a short quick death too!)
Yes, we have to work hard...But when it’s fun - you don’t have to use discipline - because you’re excited to PLAY HARD!
You don’t “learn” from books or videos (you find out what to learn from them...)
Because in music production you learn by DOING!
So if you’re approaching your music production process with anything like “dour seriousness”...
If you have to discipline yourself to do the hard work…
If you’re trawling through masses of information like you’re at school…It’s time to try something different.
Because I guarantee you’ll get much further, much faster by HAVING SOME FUN!
(Yes, that is most definitely allowed. In fact, round these parts IT’S REQUIRED.)
Why not instead of all this heavy, tortuous, boring nonsense - you PLAY A GAME instead?
This might surprise you, but from helping 10s of 1000s musicians and producers over the last decade, here's what I know FOR A FACT:
But most musicians and producers don’t follow through.
When they're on their own with their machines and instruments, they can't help getting in their own way. Falling into their old bad habits...
The music production process is so chock full of rabbit holes, pitfalls and dead ends that most default to making music the "hard and painful" way.
Now, in "high touch" coaching situations (my flagship program Make an Album With Mike, my mastermind groups and in my work with one-to-one clients) I can make sure everyone gets results.
But now I've developed a way to deliver similar results at a way lower cost - so more people can start to take advantage of this revolutionary creative methodology.
But I'll bet you're thinking, "Exactly who is this weird bald bloke, and why on earth world would I listen to you?"
In my musical journey so far...
As you can see, I've been around the block and back again. But that's more than enough about me :)
What matters is YOU.
If you get stuck on finishing….
Don’t have enough time to get in the studio…
Suffer from rollercoaster motivation to make music…
(Just like I used to…)
IT’S NOT YOUR FAULT!
Because you’ve been taught to make music using methods that put you into a battle with yourself....
And here’s the cure:
In under 3 hours, you'll make a piece of music all the way from ZERO to a playable demo WITH ME, as we'll be doing all the exercises together in timed rounds.
I'll lead you through a specific process to make a track, answering common questions along the way.
So, in 3 hours or less, you'll have a playable demo of a track, and what you learn will help you make much better music in a lot less time in the future.
Plus - you have lifetime access, so you can run the process as many times as you need to master it.
You'll be fine as long as you can use your gear or software reasonably fast (i.e., you're not a complete beginner still figuring it out).
I'll teach you a specific process and answer common questions along the way (which you can skip or come back to later) in under 3 hours. And what you learn will help you make better music even faster than you do now.
You see, there are 3 essential stages to any music production process:
Where you create the initial hooks, grooves, themes, melodies, vibe…
Where you develop the unformed initial ideas into a piece of music that fulfils a purpose. Whether that be to get people to dance, tell a story, create an emotion or take people on a journey…
Where you remove, improve, fine tune and refine the piece of music so it’s ready for release.
The thing is - each stage requires an entirely different mindset. At each stage, you need to be focused on different elements within the music at a different level of focus (from big picture to tiny details). So, each stage requires a very different approach.
So, if you've ever struggled to finish quality music fast, it'll be because you're not clear on these stages and what you must do (and crucially NOT do).
The Turbo Track Attack will show you how to think, what to do, what to focus on and what to ignore at each stage of the music production process.
How you'll do this is by ACTUALLY MAKING A PIECE OF MUSIC!
This program is split into 3 parts, which reflect the 3 stages of the creative process.
At each stage, I will give you creative games to play - so I'll show you the rules and limitations so you'll know exactly what to do.
And if you have questions, there's a private space with the Make Music Your Life coaches and other Track Attackers who can help you if you get stuck or feel unsure about anything.
I've designed these games using my 25 years of experience making music and 10 years of coaching 1000s of musicians to automatically avoid the pitfalls most people fall into at each stage.
So by the end of Turbo Track Attack, not only will you have completed a playable demo of a piece of music in under 3 hours, you'll be able to make much better music in a lot less time!
And then you can practice this process as often as you want! The Turbo Track Attack workshop has been edited and split into short, consumable videos, and you'll have lifetime access to them immediately when you join.
What's more, you'll gain access to the Make Music Your Life Tribe community, where the Make Music Your Life coaches, and I can answer any questions you have about the Turbo Track Attack.
Turbo Track Attack is not focused on a particular genre and isn't specific to DAW, gear or software. So this will work for you, no matter what kind of music you make or what equipment or software you use.
This particular Turbo Track Attack is focused on instrumental music - but if you are a songwriter - doing the Turbo Track Attack with instrumental music alone will still help you write songs (because you can apply the same principles to songs, too!)
I want as many artists as possible to experience this revolutionary music-making method.
So the Turbo Track Attack is affordable - just US$50.
But as we’re just getting to know each other I’d like to offer you a introductory discount of 50% off...
That’s just $25!
Look, I KNOW what it’s like to get stuck making music. It can feel like nothing is EVER going to work. Especially if your music making has been painfully slow for years.
But having struggled myself for years, I can promise you that the solution is way simpler and easier than you think. It’s simply about replacing old bad habits with new positive ones.
You could start immediately after you join, or you can wait until you're ready...
…and all you need to do is to set aside 3 hours to make some music.
So, if you want to be able to create a playable demo of a track in under 3 hours?
You'll get a series of short and fun creative games which you'll play...to create an entire track!
Each game has been carefully designed for a specific part of the creative process to give you the best chance of making the best possible music in the shortest time…
You'll get these games clearly delivered to you by me in a series of videos - just like a course (but way more fun!)
You'll also gain access to the Make Music Your Life community to ask questions and get help from Mike and the Make Music Your Life coaches for as long as you need it…
This isn't focused on a particular genre and isn't DAW, gear or software specific. So this is for you no matter what music you make or equipment or software you use.
Let me show you how to go from zero to playable demo in under 3 hours.

If you want to be a great music producer, you must produce music.
A LOT of music.
So why don't more producers focus on the QUANTITY they produce?
Why aren't they more PRODUCTIVE?
They believe the myth that you EITHER produce quantity OR quality.
But this is a lie.
You have to make a lot of music to make great music!
Quantity is a process, and quality is the result.
For undeniable evidence, at any great artists' catalogues...
It's an open secret:
The best A-list artists make HEAPS of music.
What you've not been told is this isn't BECAUSE they're the best, it's HOW they became the best. If you're not making loads of music, you can't build the skillset. In other words, top artists don't have a special gift you can't have. They've simply grown their talent through a consistent music-making practice.
This isn't common knowledge because those who don't want to put in the time - can't help but believe in a gift that is given, not GROWN.
So don't listen to anyone who says you can't. The more music you make, the more you practice making music, and the better your music gets. Quality comes through quantity - it's NOT an either/or!
This is why the first step for any serious producer is to be prolific.
To become a PRODUCTIVE PRODUCER!
We'll do this together by training your fast music-making muscle.
The Productive Producer Bundle is for you if your process is slow and you want to improve your music rapidly...
Get the Productive Producer Bundle, and within days, you'll make more music in hours than you usually do on days.

A real game changer! As a music producer and DJ, signing up to Mike Mondays programs has by far been the best move I could have made for my career. His programs are inspirational, motivational and help you to see things in ways you probably haven't previously. The main point is you GET RESULTS! Thanks to Make Music Your Life, I have now started making music that sounds great and releasing it.

In last couple of years I have significantly improved my music production skils and number of quality releases just by following few steps that Mike is talking about. Thanks Mike <3

A Great Ride well worth it! Be prepared for a lot, and I mean a lot of great information to kickstart your music, songwriting, focus, and income streams. Mike’s systems and analysis reignited my malignant music career and a 10 year dryspell from songwriting. He has improved my general life enjoyment within my family and in my full time career too.
James Lanbro
Mike thinks differently. Unlike most (if not all) of the other music 'production' training out there, Mike and the team actually care about seeing you improve and make more music. This isn't a download of information or some miracle quick fix; you need to do the work - but you get out what you put in multiplied. No exaggeration to say this will probably change your life, even in areas completely unrelated to making music.

Before joining, creating music happened sporadically, and I didn't have a solid process. Mike's tools provide different ways to achieve creative flow and beat resistance. Not only were we shown ways to get the process rolling, but there is also a whole system in place to keep tabs on everything and get to the finish line with one's songs. In such a short period, I am filling up my creative well of ideas and on my way to completing songs consistently.
N'Deye
My experience with Mike has been transformative and exciting on so many levels. The team at Make Music Your Life are the most capable, experienced, supportive and encouraging people in this space and considering how cutthroat the music industry can be, that is saying something.
