About This Course

Level 1: Gear Up & Calibrate
Every adventure starts with the right tools.
You’ll discover the minimum gear needed to start making music, from beginner-friendly setups to more advanced studio configurations. Learn which headphones, computers, microphones, MIDI keyboards, speakers, and DAWs are commonly used by music producers, helping you make informed decisions without spending weeks researching gear online.
Whether you’re working with a laptop and headphones or planning a future studio setup, this level will help you build a solid foundation and get ready to create music with confidence.

Level 2: Navigate Your DAW
The DAW is where your music comes to life. In this level, you’ll learn how to navigate your recording software and understand the core tools found inside every modern DAW. While this course uses Logic Pro for demonstrations, the concepts and workflow apply to virtually any music production software, including Ableton Live, FL Studio, Cubase, Studio One, Reaper, and others.
Through simple hands-on missions, you’ll learn how to create projects, organise tracks, colour-code your sessions, manage files, and build a workflow that keeps your ideas organised instead of overwhelming.
By the end of this level, you’ll feel comfortable opening your DAW and knowing where everything lives, removing one of the biggest obstacles new producers face.

Level 3: Build Your First Song
It’s time to create music! In Level 3, you’ll turn your first idea into a complete song, even if you’ve never written music before.
Learn the basics of MIDI, create chords, melodies, drum patterns, and synth parts, record your first instruments or vocals, and discover how songs are structured using intros, verses, choruses, and outros.
You’ll also learn how to develop an idea from a simple loop into a finished arrangement that feels complete and satisfying to listen to.
By the end of this level, you’ll have created and finished your very first song.
Ready For The Next Level?
The 3-Level Song Quest™ helps you create and finish your first complete song.
If you’re ready to go further, the 14-Level Mix Quest™ will teach you the art of mixing and production, including EQ, compression, reverb, delay, vocal processing, gain staging, and other essential skills used to transform rough ideas into polished songs.
You’ll learn how to prepare your music for release on Spotify, Apple Music, Bandcamp, and other streaming platforms.
Your adventure started with making a song. The next quest is sharing your music with the world!

I signed up to the course on a whim as a creative person having a bit of an extended block/crisis, and the fun, neon, 8-bit point-and-click adventure vibe of the course caught me at a good moment and appealed to my sense of fun 😃
It's totally reinvigorated my creativity through playing around with loops, FX, and mixing in the module exercises. I got so into one of the exercises I ended up in a total flow state and created a five minute track that I'm actually pretty pleased with 🤣 I really love the whole vibe! 🤩
The material is nicely paced, clear and well-thought out, and easy to pick up even for beginners (I'm an experienced "intermediate" 🤓) Laura is a fun, super friendly and helpful mentor/coach with music and mixing chops for days 💪 Already looking forward to the next module! I'M GONNA BE A MIXING BAD ASS!! I CAN FEEL IT ALREADY!🤘

The onboarding, navigation and getting started are very clear. Even the explanations for DB in real life vs digital, as well as gain staging are super valuable. There's no guess work.
The Logic modules offer the right amount of information without overwhelming. The other programs I have been a part of don't cover this amount of content I have used GarageBand, and this is my first time using plugins and creating electronic music. It's so much fun! Very different from a live band format, which is mostly my background.

This course has really helped me push past mental barriers I've had for a long time and I am finally seeing results after wanting to make dance music for over 25 years :) Excited to see where things go from here.

I'm loving the course. I've learned more in Section 1 and 2 then I did in a udemy course I tried a couple years ago and lost interest.

I've found the course really easy to follow and the simple step by step format as well as the playful tone has helped me get past perfectionism and mental blocks that have stopped me from getting any further with producing a song in the past.

I'm still at the very beginning, but I'm already thrilled. One lesson in particular really opened my ears: Laura goes through a whole song from her career and explains the mix in great detail.
It's crazy how many nuances there are in a good mix that I would never have noticed before. You can feel Laura's passion, perfectionism and closeness to her students. This, combined with the helpful community, makes this course very special to me.

THE AUDIO ARCADE - MY EXPERIENCE: I’ve followed Laura Dre for years, she’s one of the most creative, versatile, and inspiring artists I know. As a beginner without fancy gear, I thought this would be difficult…
But the course is so accessible, fun, and easy to follow.
Levels, missions, creative energy - it feels like a little music adventure. And the best part? Laura is incredibly friendly, social, and approachable. On her Discord, you can talk to her directly, ask questions, and get feedback. You truly feel welcome.
The Audio Arcade gives me the confidence to create music from scratch and the feeling of being part of a creative community. If you dream of making music, this is the perfect place to start.

Laura's course was a turning point in my music, not only in my mixing but also in my composition. For the first time, I paid attention to details I'd never noticed before, improved my melodies and rhythmic patterns, and had fun!
Developer
Hi! I’m Laura - founder and creator of The Audio Arcade! :)
Some of you may know me already, but if you’re new here, you can look me up under “Laura Dre”.
I’m a real artist with several independent music releases and have run successful crowdfunding campaigns for my albums, manufacturing everything from vinyl records and CDs to cassettes myself.
I pretty much operate like my own record label and do everything myself. Basically, I’m a solo creator wearing many hats, and I’m sure I can teach a thing or two if you’re keen on learning more. :)
Whether it’s getting started with music or exploring the business side of things, I’ve poured my entire life experience into this damn platform! 😂
Anyway, I built The Audio Arcade because I’ve come across so many people over the years who are itching to make music. Whether it’s to express their creativity, explore a new hobby, do something fun on the side, or eventually turn their passion into a business, I’ve seen it all and I’m totally here to support you! :)
My only request is that you’re keen on learning too.
I’m running a private community where you’re more than welcome to share your progress in a safe space before sharing it with the world.
And since I’m totally into video games and 80s / 90s nostalgia, the learning portal reflects that too. There’s no room for LinkedIn or boring white-wall energy here! 😂
All that matters is that you create music the way you want to, so let’s goooo!!!!
Frequently Asked Questions
This is for beginners and anyone who’s started but never finished a track.
You don’t need music theory, expensive gear, or experience. If you’ve got a DAW and want to make something real, you’re good to go!
You get instant access to all 3 levels.
You can jump in right away and start building your first track at your own pace.
You get lifetime access.
Jump in whenever you’re ready and work through the levels at your own pace.
You can, but you’ll probably waste months or even years piecing together random tips that don’t connect, still wondering why your track isn’t finished. YouTube teaches moments. It doesn’t teach direction. The 3-Level Song Quest™ gives you direction. You follow a path that builds your skills in the right order, so your mixes improve because you understand what you’re doing, not because you copied a trick.
Most courses on those platforms are cheap for a reason. They usually offer short, disconnected modules that cover tiny parts of the bigger picture, often taught by different instructors with conflicting approaches. It’s like trying to solve a puzzle with pieces from different boxes.
The 3-Level Song Quest™ gives you a clear path so you actually finish something instead of jumping between tutorials.
No worries - you’ll have access to the private student community where you can ask questions anytime. You’re not doing this alone.
Nope. All you need is a basic DAW (like Logic, Ableton, FL Studio, etc.), a pair of headphones or speakers, and the willingness to learn.
Yes! The 3-Level Song Quest™ teaches fundamentals that apply to all genres - from synthpop to singer-songwriter, indie, rock to lo-fi, hip hop etc.
No. The 3-Level Song Quest™ is a foundational course designed to help you build and finish a track.
