LABEL SLAYER: Become Your Own Label
For years artists were told they needed a record label to fund an album or press vinyl. That simply isn’t true anymore.
In this course I’m showing you how I funded my own releases, designed my own vinyl, and started running my career the way a label was supposed to. Except this time the artist owns everything. The music, the masters, and the records in their hands.
Stop Chasing Playlists.
Start Pressing Vinyl.
The Artist’s Guide to Funding, Launching, and Owning Your Own Record.
Imagine holding the 180g weight of your own pressed vinyl. Seeing your name on an Obi strip. Knowing every copy sold is yours. No gatekeepers, no predatory contracts, just your art, your fans, and your business.
The industry isn’t coming to save you. So let’s build something better!
For a long time, the dream was to get signed. But the reality is usually signing away your masters for a fraction of the profit and a spot on a mood playlist that could drop you tomorrow.
I’m an artist, not a business coach. I have a First-Class Honours degree in Music Production, but my real education came from the trenches: raising over €75,000 through a combination of crowdfunding and direct Bandcamp sales to turn my music into high-end physical art.
I’m showing you how I fund my records, press vinyl, and keep the music, and the money, where it belongs: in the artist’s hands. You’re paying to skip the years of trial and error it took me to figure out how to stay independent.
Inside Label Slayer™, you’ll learn how to move from idea to finished release without relying on a traditional record label.
The Quest Log: The Full Release Journey
Level 1: The Takeover
Stop waiting for a “yes” from a label. Shift from amateur musician to independent artist and label owner. Learn how to manage your time so the business side fuels the music instead of draining it.
Level 2: Building Your Universe
Fans don’t just buy songs, they buy worlds. Define the visual identity and story that makes people want to back your Kickstarter before they’ve even heard the B-side.
Level 3: Your Storefront
Set up your WordPress website and mailing list so your fans always have somewhere to buy your music directly after your campaign ends.
Level 4: The Physical Artifact
Learn how to design professional-looking vinyl, CDs and cassettes without needing a major label budget.
Level 5: The Hype Phase
Build momentum before launch. Discover how singles, teasers and strategic planning help attract your first loyal supporters.
Level 6: The Math of a Launch
Calculate realistic funding goals that cover manufacturing, taxes, shipping and the hidden costs that catch many artists off guard.
Level 7: The Kickstarter Battle
Go behind the scenes of my own Kickstarter campaigns and learn how to manage backers, updates and the famous mid-campaign slump.
Level 8: The Logistics of Vinyl
Navigate pressing plants, test pressings, packaging and international shipping so your records arrive safely anywhere in the world.
Level 9: Finding the Next Wave
Learn practical Meta advertising strategies that help independent artists reach new fans after a successful release.
Level 10: Beyond the First Press
Turn one successful campaign into a long-term business by selling remaining stock and building a loyal community that comes back for every release.
Level 11: Running the Label
Structure your own independent record label, manage your catalogue and keep 100% ownership of your masters. This is where you stop being a passenger and start running your own label properly.
Why is this €699?
One wrong manufacturing, shipping, or fulfilment decision can wipe out thousands in profit.
This course exists so you understand those moving parts before you launch.
This isn’t designed to simply teach theory. It’s designed to help you launch your own release, build a sustainable music business, and own everything you create.
Pre-Sale Access - €499
Label Slayer™ is currently in development. Production is planned for Q2 2027. New lessons will be added to the course as they are completed.

This course reignited my creativity
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!🤘

Beginner-friendly without overwhelm
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.

25 Years of ‘Someday’ Ends Here
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.

More Learned in 2 Sections Than a Whole Udemy Course
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.

It helped me get past perfectionism
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 hearing music in a whole new way
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.

Made me brave enough to create music
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.

A Turning Point In My Music
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!

Laura Dre
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!!!!
