What others say

Eddie has that rare combination of creative thinking and technical understanding, that allows him to sculpt sounds at will, while the rest of us hunt through stacks of samples and presets. He’s a true genius and his products have enhanced my work beyond measure.

Eddie Bazil’s knowledge of all aspects of modern production is full of real world insight and depth earned from a lifetime in the industry. From beat construction to sound design, his tutorials are easy to grasp yet incisive and always, always relevant to today’s producers. He’s a mine of information and the advice and training products found on his Samplecraze.com site totally reflect his no-bullshit approach! Highly recommended.

As a former professional musician who now works privately in my own studio, I am so glad to have had tuition from Eddie Bazil. The engineering techniques Eddie taught me have upped the production quality of my music to another level. I can thoroughly recommend Eddie to anybody looking for tuition; not only does he have an enormous amount of knowledge and experience, he’s also a friendly and fun person to spend time with. Highly recommended.

Eddy DeeganSongwriter, producer

Finding Eddie’s one 2 one service was a game changer for me, I couldn’t finish a song and had no hope of getting anything signed. Eddie took me back to basics and covered everything from sound design to mixing to arrangement, in a clear and concise way that I understood. I now have numerous releases under my belt and have just been signed to my number 1 choice label, Steve Lawlers Viva music, thanks for everything Ed, couldn’t have done it without you.

Samplecraze: a fantastic source of information, has helped me out tremendously and given me that edge in my tracks from creating beats, getting a solid low end, and some special JEDI techniques for mixing down and mastering.

Thank you Eddie for the knowledge you provided for me in my training. It really made me see some of the things I was doing wrong in a different light. My productions have really improved & it was a pleasure being taught by you, cheers.

Eddie clearly loves teaching and sharing his vast music industry knowledge and technical experience with his tutees. His easy-going yet structured and methodical approach has allowed me to grasp some complex production fundamentals that I have spent years struggling with. This has brought the joy back into music making for me. I highly recommend this legend in the game!
