YOU'RE READY FOR THIS IF...

You have ideas you can't finish, and you're tired of starting tracks that never see the light of day.

You can produce, but you need advice from someone who has been in the place you want to be.

You're serious enough to commit 8 to 12 hours per week for 12 weeks and ready to invest in your career.

You're ready to stop learning random things on YouTube and start a structured process that will help you reach your goals faster. Shorten your path by years.

FAQ

How does the application work?

Pick a 15-minute call time that works for you, then answer a few quick questions on the booking screen (about 2 minutes total). The call is where you and Max decide together if the program is right for you. No high-pressure pitch.

What does it cost?

Pricing is discussed on the application call. Artist Accelerator is a serious investment in your career, with introductory pricing that won't return for future cohorts. Payment plans are available.

What genres does Max work with?

Max's artist project Protohype is rooted in bass music, but his teaching covers the full electronic spectrum. He has mentored producers across dubstep, house, tech house, drum and bass, and broader dance music.

How much time will it take?

Plan on 8 to 12 hours per week for 12 weeks. That includes session time, your own production work, and engagement with the cohort. If you can't commit that, this isn't the right time for you.

When are the live sessions?

Group sessions run Monday evenings Pacific Time, with an optional 30-minute Q&A with Max every Wednesday. All sessions are recorded. If you're outside North America and can't make the live times at all, this program isn't the right fit right now.
