IF THIS IS YOU...
YOU'RE IN THE "INTERMEDIATE PLATEAU"
WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN?
We're going to make a bold claim:
Everyone has been teaching music production totally wrong — and that's why you're stuck.
Until now, music production has been taught as a singular thing.
But to truly understand the production process, you actually need to break it down into its OBJECTIVE and SUBJECTIVE components...
OBJECTIVE
SUBJECTIVE
- Right-brain
- Creative
- Artistic
- Sound design
- Arrangement
- Creative mixing
Here's what most people do...
Trying to write a poem in a language you don't understand. Why? Because words are the objective building blocks of poetry.
Attempting to paint like Picasso when you don't know how to hold a paintbrush, mix colors, or chose the right materials.
Here's what you should do instead...
It’s tempting to jump in your DAW and just start creating...
But you need to master the objective component of music production FIRST if you want to unlock your creative capabilities.
Once you master the objective, you can move into the subjective. But now you're actually capable of creating the sounds you hear in your head.
This is what we call a state of total creative flow — and it means you’re able to seamlessly execute on your creative vision without it getting lost in translation.
Breaking through the plateau
Does this affect you?
You know you’re suffering from this problem if you can’t quite achieve the sound you have in your head — despite the fact you’ve been doing this for a while.
The missing piece
You’ve probably watched a ton of YouTube videos and maybe even taken some courses… but you STILL don’t know what’s preventing your mixes from sounding professional.
The solution?
Addressing this problem isn’t easy — and it isn’t always exciting. There’s no tips or tricks that will fix this overnight.
You need to commit time to mastering the objective.
This idea is at the core of our flagship program, The Reverse Engineer™...
And it’s also the key concept behind our brand new Fix the Mix™ Challenge.
Introducing...
Fix-The-Mix™ Challenge
WHAT IS IT?
This is a 3-day, live challenge that’s going to help you fix your mix.
How? By leveraging objective knowledge and techniques to identify exactly what’s wrong with your mix - and then fixing those problems at the source.

You got questions? We have answers.
My room isn't acoustically treated, does that matter?
Having a good room will certainly help you identify what's wrong with your mix. That's why room tuning is a major part of our flagship program, The Reverse Engineer™.
But just like training your ears, there are stages to this process. You don't need a perfect room to significantly improve your mixes. You should continue to improve the quality of your work while gaining new knowledge IN TANDEM with improving on your room over the long-term. Otherwise, you'll get stuck on your room and won't make any progress until you have the "perfect" setup... which we both know doesn't really exist.
Can't I just figure this out on my own?
How has that worked for you so far? Sure, you could learn eventually this stuff through repetition and practice... but it's going to take you decades to get to the same point as everyone else. Instead of reinventing the wheel, it's much quicker to learn from somebody else's experience and mistakes.
I don't have time to do ear training before the challenge - will I still benefit?
We'll show you techniques that don't rely on your having great hearing.
Yes, ear training is incredibly important. But you can still drastically improve your mixes while you're working on your hearing over the long-term.
Is this for a specific genre or type of music?
No, what you're going to learn is totally agnostic to the genre of music.
Remember, it's mastering the SCIENTIFIC aspect of music production that's important. Once you do that, you have the building blocks for any genre or type of music.
What DAW are you going to use?
It doesn't matter - the techniques you use are the exact same in all DAWs. You'll be able to follow along regardless of which DAW you use.
Am I going to need a bunch of expensive software/plugins to see results?
No. Better gear will certainly help BUT the first step is developing your knowledge and skills.
Only after that should you think about upgrading your gear. That way, you're using it to it's full potential, instead of having a bunch of expensive gear you don't actually know how to use.
