WHERE
THE LEGENDARY STUDIOS

MillFactory NuVenue Studios in Copenhagen is a 400m2 recording facility in the northwestern part of Copenhagen. It features state-of-the-art recording equipment and rooms acoustically designed by legend Andy Monroe for a second-to-none recording and listening experience.

The studio was founded in 1985 under the name of Werner Studios. Then, as well as now, it is one of the largest studios in Denmark. The name was changed in 2000 to MillFactory when acquired by the current owner, Boe Larsen. Furthermore, the studio features a unique and integrated system for video capture and livestreaming. This 'virtual' stage is called NuVenue.

HOW
LIKE A PRO

Courses are based on individual and group experience levels.

There's a distinction between knowledge and experience. While knowledge is important, experience is what enables students to apply it in live environments. This is critical in shaping the producer-client relationship.

Sessions provide solid core competencies in recording, mixing, and mastering, as well as supplementary skills like client management and delivery processes, offering a 360-degree foundation.

Students also work in smaller groups and evaluate the recording experience from both sides of the glass.

Q&A

Who is it for?

Courses are designed for those with ambitions for a sustainable career in the music industry. They are also for those already in the field seeking inspiration and skill improvement.

Do I have to bring my own computer?

No, it's not mandatory to bring your own computer. We primarily work on the studio's Pro Tools HDX system, but the concepts are applicable to any DAW. Bringing a laptop with your preferred DAW installed is recommended to enhance your experience, but it's entirely optional.

What is the price?

BASIC 2-Days :
DKK 2.850,-

ADVANCED 5-Days :
DKK 4.900,-

ADVANCED PRO 16-Weeks :
DKK 25.000,-

The is a 10% Early Bird rebate until 30 days before the courses start plus an option to pay the ADVANCED PRO Course in installmens (without Early Bird rebate).

What are the pre requisites?

Being proficient with a DAW of your choice is recommended but not mandatory.

How is it different from similar courses?

First, the course is not only packed with knowledge. We realise that unless knowledge is turned into experience it won’t help you in a live situation. So, we will do a lot of scenario group exercises where your acquired knowledge will be applied. Second, in addition to typically solid core skills we add an important selection of supplementary skills needed to drive a sustainable business.

What’s in it for me?

Competency and confidence in a professional music production setting and a roadmap to a career in the business.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY

Don't just take our word for it...

Incredible Experience

I’ve been assisting in the studio since January 2022 and I must say that I had an incredible experience. The hands-on approach and the personalized guidance from a skilled professional like Boe elevated my understanding of audio (and video) production together with the bounded business side-skills.

Andrea Alunni, Producer

Highly Recommended

I’ve sharpened my engineering mindset, the efficiency of client handling, and how to deliver a professional product within a short deadline. The studio attracts all kinds of musicians, which gave me an opportunity to widen my methods of approach. I learned a LOT from my time in the studio, and I cannot recommend this course more.

Simon Sana Hald, Producer

Most important part of my education

As a Sonic College graduate, my internship at MillFactory was one of the most important part of my education. Boe is an excellent teacher, and can teach you much more than recording and mixing. I developed much more confidence in myself as an audio engineer as a result, both in terms of technical abilities, social abilities and entrepreneurial ones.

Poul Høi, Producer

Nothing but phenomenal

My experience at Copenhagen Music Academy has been a game changer to me. Boe who is not only an expert in his fields but also passionate mentor, providing constructive feedback and knowledge that significantly accelerated my learning. CMA has equipped me with invaluable skills and confidence that I highly recommend to anyone seeking a transformative learning experience in the dynamic world of music.

Michele Devito, DJ & Artist

You can't acquire it elsewhere

Boe understands how to handle people and how to get the absolute best performance out of them while still keeping a smile on their face. You feel seen with Boe, both as an aspiring producer and as an artist. And he truly knows how to pass on his knowledge. He's not just razor-sharp on all the technical aspects but also on the person behind it, and you leave MillFactory with a toolkit that I doubt you can acquire in the same form elsewhere.

Alexander Mechlenburg Hansen, Producer

Sharpened my skills

I did an internship with Boe at MillFactory in 2020 and it gave me some great hands on experience working in a professional studio. He also helped me sharpen my skills with not only recording and working with audio, but giving a good experience for the recording artist as well.
