Honestly, if you’re serious about leveling up your psytrance production, this is where you need to be. Working with Joe instantly changed how I approach my tracks. Even after the first session, things just made more sense. The clarity he gave me was unreal. I’ve already noticed a big jump in my sound. Worth every penny for me.

Working with Sonic Species was a total game changer for us. Joe helped us finally understand what actually makes a track connect on a real dancefloor, not just sound good in the studio. The feedback he gave took our ideas from “almost there” to properly release-ready. Because of his direction, we’ve already had two tracks picked up by labels. Can’t recommend him enough.

Joe completely changed the way I think about psytrance production. His one-on-one feedback showed me things I’d been missing for years. In a few months, I went from making bedroom sketches to really understanding flow, energy, and how tracks work at festivals. His insight into arrangement and audience psychology honestly changed everything. After about 6 months, I finally cracked the sound I’d been chasing forever. Highly recommended.

Sonic Starter Pack — FAQ

What exactly do I get for $9.99?

You get the complete Sonic Starter Pack:

– The full “Secrets of a Producer” feedback call
– The Sonic Samples & Preset Collection
– The Dancefloor Energy Blueprint (3-page mini guide)
– The Creating a Dancefloor Journey studio walkthrough
– Access to the Sonic Species Community

Everything is unlocked instantly with a one-time payment.
No subscriptions. No upsells. No hidden fees.

Is this a full course?

No — and that’s intentional.

I didn’t want to dump 20+ hours of content on you and slow you down.
The Starter Pack is designed to deliver fast, practical breakthroughs you can actually use right away.

If you ever want deeper mentorship later, this naturally leads into the Get Unstuck calls or 1-to-1 coaching — but nothing is required or forced.

Do I need advanced production skills to understand this?

Not at all.

If you can open your DAW and sketch basic ideas, you’ll be able to follow everything inside. This focuses on creative principles, energy design, arrangement, and mindset — not confusing technical jargon or button-by-button tutorials.

Will this help me get signed to a psytrance label?

It will significantly improve your chances.

Most psytrance labels look for things like:
– A clear artistic identity
– Strong energy flow
– Well-shaped drops
– Emotional progression
– Tracks that actually work on a dancefloor

Those are exactly the principles I focus on here.
When your music connects better, getting noticed becomes much easier.

What if my style isn’t full-on psytrance like Sonic Species?

That’s totally fine.

These principles apply across:
– Full-On
– Progressive
– Psychedelic Techno
– Twilight / Forest
– Melodic Psy

The focus is on energy, movement, flow, and storytelling — fundamentals that shape every psychedelic genre.

Is any of this DAW-specific?

No.

Everything I teach is DAW-agnostic.
It works in Ableton, FL Studio, Logic, Bitwig, Cubase, and others.

This isn’t about buttons or plugins — it’s about creative decisions that translate to a real dancefloor.

Do I get personal feedback from Joe?

Inside the Starter Pack, you’ll see how I break down a real track in the Secrets of a Producer feedback call and explain how I find solutions.

If you want direct feedback on your track, that’s available through:
– The Get Unstuck group calls, or
– Optional 1-to-1 mentorship

Both are separate and completely optional.

How long do I get access for?

Forever.

Once you’re in, it’s yours.
All future updates and additions are included at no extra cost.

Do I need expensive gear or a treated studio?

No.

You can apply everything here with:
– A laptop
– Headphones
– Your DAW

A lot of my early releases were made in simple setups.
It’s not about the gear — it’s about how you think.

Can total beginners join?

Yes — as long as you’re motivated.

You don’t need years of experience.
In fact, learning the right fundamentals early helps you avoid bad habits picked up from endless random tutorials.

Why is it only $9.99?

Because this is a front-end offer built on trust.

I want serious producers to experience how I teach and how I think — without asking you to spend hundreds upfront.
The goal is to help you get real breakthroughs quickly and affordably.

What happens after I buy?

You’ll get instant access to everything:

✔ Samples & Preset download
✔ All videos unlocked
✔ The Dancefloor Energy Blueprint
✔ Your invite to the community

No waiting. No approvals. You can start right away.
