Life-Changing Results That Audio Colleges Fail to Deliver:

I have had almost 14 years of experience, and have never made progress quite like this.

I listen back to my mixes now, whether it's in the studio or on headphones or even in the car and I am completely blown away by the results. It puts a huge smile on my face and has rekindled my desire and passion for mixing. I cannot stress how much becoming a part of your courses has helped to transform my mixes and my entire mindset towards mixing.

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.

Honestly comparable to the Berklee Masters program in music production...

If I could have taken it 5 years ago, it would have saved me $40,000 in tuition.

I started using your methods and things sounded immediately better. Word spread, and now I have triple the clients and people coming from all over, from all backgrounds (yesterday i was confidently tracking a live folk session). Your courses have given me the confidence to trust my instincts, but also know my worth. I get good results quickly, and people love it.

Have learned more in 1 week than I've learned over 2 years of college courses

Thank you for making such an awesome course available for aspiring professional producers and engineers! Already learned so many things that will improve my work on a big scale! Similar to other aspiring producers around the world, I turned to college training instead of mentor training first, and have since been through 3 audio engineering courses that did an alright job at teaching the basics, but barely taught how to use simple compression or EQ techniques in any context...worst part is, I spent 1/3 of the cost of those courses on your online course and have learned more in 1 week than I've learned in over 2 years of those college courses. So it's safe to say, YOU are a real pro and teach far more in far less time! Thank you for providing the amount of learning value that you do. I among many other members and producers are forever grateful!

It's a dream I never knew I had, come true!

I can't begin to describe the relief I felt as I devoured these courses. So much confusion and frustration was swept away as I watched a professional show me exactly how to approach an entire production from start to finish, step-by-step, in detail. The feeling of excitement as I learned and applied these techniques to the multitracks provided was fantastic! For the first time ever, I not only felt equipped to make better music myself, but I had the confidence to take on other people's music too! I had never even contemplated that before. I should point out that I studied music performance and production in college for 3 years, and the production side of it only ever confused and bored me. Now I'm working on my first paid EP project for another band! It's a dream I never knew I had, come true!

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!

"Wish I knew about this sooner."

I purchased a [big-name mixer] mixing course prior to your course and felt like I completely wasted my money.

The material in your course is PRICELESS! It is applicable in every mixing situation. I always wondered why my mixes sounded so dull or lifeless prior to your course. Now I finally get my mixes to hit as hard as I've always wanted.

It's a cheat code.

As for the content of the course, you get way more than you pay for. It's a cheat code. If you are like me, you have watched hundreds of YouTube videos. There is just too much noise out there. I'm a DIY guy and this saved me a ton of time...and time is money. The catalog of information this course provides is invaluable.

"Bands across the UK are now booking me"

The courses are spot on, I have learnt so much and my mixes have gone from amateur to pretty damn good i would like to think. Bands from across the UK are now booking me and i'm preparing to make the jump between part freelance/part time employment to full time freelance and get rid of my job! I couldn't have done it without you!
