Your studio's teaching deserves a home
DAW shortcuts get demonstrated in sessions but rarely written down. Sound design choices live in the producer's head. Mixing principles get reintroduced for each new student. C3NTR is a quiet place to write it all down once, in your studio's voice.
Who this is for
Studios with multiple teachers
Two or more teachers sharing students or rotating cover. C3NTR holds the shared standard so every lesson draws from the same library.
Studios mentoring professional producers
You're mentoring producers toward releases. Content locked by level keeps beginners on workflow while pros see the deeper craft.
Built for teachers, not for IT
Your teacher opens the app, taps Edit, and writes the next workflow tip in plain prose. The next session, the producer knows the shortcut before they sit down.
Write directly in the app
Like a notepad. New articles are drafts until you publish, so nothing goes live by mistake.
Mobile-first authoring
Edit on the phone between classes or on the way home. The same library, the same edit screen.
A working library in under an hour
Import the starter template in a few taps. Edit anything that doesn't fit. Publish when ready.
Beginner, intermediate, advanced, professional
Content locked by grade, in your studio's progression
Tag any article with a minimum grade. Beginners see workflow and DAW basics. Intermediate see sound design. Pros see mixing and mastering. The same library, the right view per student.
A glossary in English and English
Music production carries its own vocabulary. C3NTR's glossary holds the terms in one place: the English names, your studio's translation, and the article each term appears in.
- DAW
- A DAW, Digital Audio Workstation, is the software where modern music is made..
- Track
- A track is a single horizontal lane in your DAW that usually holds one part of the music, a vocal..
- MIDI

- Audio interface
- An audio interface is the small box that connects microphones and instruments to your computer and gets their sound in cleanly..
- Signal flow
- Signal flow is the path sound takes through your setup..
- Sample
- A sample is a short..
Listening sessions, release showcases, masterclasses
C3NTR isn't only the library. Schedule the next listening session, post when a masterclass is on, and let producers see what's ahead. Announcements land on their Today tab and events sit on the calendar.

Common questions
Can students only see their grade's material?
Yes. Tag any article with a minimum grade. Beginners see only basics. Teachers and senior students always see everything.
Does it cover Ableton Live, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Pro Tools?
Yes. The starter is exam-board neutral. Ableton Live, Logic Pro, FL Studio or your own progression can adapt the syllabus without rewriting.
Can my studio customise the music production template?
Yes. Every article, exercise and term is editable. Add your studio's repertoire, your favoured method books and your house standards.
How long does it take to set up?
Most schools have a working library in under an hour. Import the starter template in a few taps, then edit anything that doesn't fit. Starting blank takes a little longer. Allow an hour or two to write your first ten articles. Students can use the app the day you publish.
Do I have to stop using my booking system?
No. C3NTR is a knowledge library for your curriculum, terminology and progressions. Booking, billing and scheduling stay with the tools you already use.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Seed is free forever for up to 30 students, with no credit card required. Move up to School (£39/mo) or Academy (£69/mo) when you outgrow it.
