Life-Changing Results That Audio Colleges Fail to Deliver:

My mix from 6 weeks ago sounds so weak compared to what I am now churning out!

My mix actually translated very well!

For a mix to translate out of my bedroom studio, I'd have to make about 5-6 revisions to get something short of dcent. I scrapped all my processing and applied your methods and approach to one of my songs and WITHOUT EVEN A REVISION, my mix ACTUALLY TRANSLATED VERY WELL AND SOUNDED GOOD IN MY CAR.

Wrecked the internet...

Jordan Valeriote basically wrecked the internet for me...others kinda suck by comparison, I don't even bother with any others now.

Learned more in 5 months than I did in 2 years of school!

I paid a TON of money for the Art Institute of Vancouver's Recording Arts Program and to be honest, I 've learned more in 5 months of Jordan's courses than I did in 2 years of school. If I were to do it again, I wouldn't pay all that money to go to school. In the last year and a half, I have been able to take my studio full time, launch a second company and land a dream job. None of this would have been possible without your courses. I am forever grateful.

"I'm a full-time college student studying Audio Production… Even though I felt like I had some innate talent in a good ear, I wasn't able to get anything to sound how I wanted and this is because I didn't know the tools and how to get where I wanted.

I went for it, signed up, And suddenly, something clicked. You gave me the keys, and it happened. I went from complete amateur, and now I feel I could dare to call myself semi-pro. For the first time I can COMPARE my mix TO A PRO and say, "yeah I could mix for those labels and bands.”

I can already feel a drastic change in the way I approach music.

It was a big decision because I usually don't invest much in myself, but I did it and really don't regret it. As a matter of fact, I enjoyed it so much that I decided to set up my own website and work on my portfolio to try and see if I could attract customers. It was eye, ear, and mind opening. I can already feel a drastic change in the way I approach music.

Gave me courage to open my own humble studio. All the second-guessing just disappeared once I finished the course. Now I know how to make my gear sound ten times better!

"What I can do now is seriously shocking..."

Going back from what I was doing a couple of months ago to what I can do now is seriously shocking to me and very exciting at the same time. The passion that I felt for mixing back in 2011 is all coming back now and I really want to go forward with this as a career. I have so much more confidence now than I did even a few months ago.

I feel like I should be giving you more money for the course than what I paid! You've not only allowed me to dramatically improve my mixing but you've also given me the tools to become motivated again, something I desperately needed.

Thanks a lot for this great journey.

I can't mention enough how this course changed my skills, focus and most of all my approach and whole mindset (even on a personal, private level). I am now closer to the quality I always wanted to deliver - gold standard. The biggest takeaway is that I now only need one day for a mix instead of struggling for weeks and still not getting to a satisfying result.

I cannot express how thankful I am

I cannot express how thankful I am. Suddenly more and more bands want to work with me to the point that I think I could make a decent income from this! I wanted to emphasize that apart from all the technical stuff I'm learning in the courses, what I think really made the difference to me is the motivation you gave me. Just sharing your experience in this field and all the passion you have about it really gets through the screen. Again, thank you!
