Beyond the Demo

(No more chasing endless tutorials or drowning in plugin FOMO.)

Beyond the Demo is a custom, hands-on and personalized program where you’ll go from scattered DIY demos to confident, pro-level releases.

Your music deserves to be heard how you imagined it—powerful, emotional, and professional.

Don’t let another demo gather digital dust.

Eric L'Esperance

When Eric first joined us in 2019, I was struck by the quality of songwriting and songcraft that he and his wife Ash display through their duo, Ash & Eric. He has shown a true commitment to his craft and has exhibited a great deal of growth in his developing career as a producer and recording engineer.

When Eric joined, he wasn't sure about his skills but he didn't want to keep paying for expensive studio time because he wanted total control over his music.

Since building his home studio, he has recorded and released songs for The Promise is Hope, Ash & Eric, as well as for other local musicians in the Worcester area, making a name for himself as Eric "The Harvester" L'Esperance over at Harvest Root Recording.

John Owings

John was a touring musician before his band was dropped by their label.

Wanting to pursue audio production, he then went to Fullsail University where his professors used my materials from Audio Issues to complement their teaching.

He shared with me how the personal attention and coaching he got from us has helped level up his skills and enabled him to create a side income from his studio skills and now he offers high-quality recording and mixing for independent bands over at 3003 Sound.

Gina LaMonte

Gina came to us when the world shut down during COVID and she had to learn how to record, mix, and release her music on her own.

She didn't think she had the ear to do it herself but through our programs, she discovered how to take her music to the next level.

Take a listen to her interview to hear why she thought investing in our materials was "without a doubt the best investment she made."

Chris McConville

I first met Chris when I mixed and mastered his heart-felt single, "Fire" which later went on to get international recognition and was even playlisted on the in-flight entertainment systems of British Airways.

Here's what he had to say about my work and the materials he has learned from

"Wow! It’s done and dusted! What can I say, it's an absolutely fantastic mix/master. It's a dream come true to get this song sounding so good. It's perfect! It has a great balance and you can hear everything. I think you have done a fantastic job. I can hear that you have implemented all the aspects that you talk about and teach thru Audio Issues. It sounds amazing and really consistent on a number of different speakers. The mix is a nice celebration of the guitars and the song and vocals come to the fore which is the main objective and it is a joy to hear with your mix."

Student Success

My materials have helped countless musicians, engineers and producers gain the confidence and skills to make professional music they can be proud of.

But more importantly, they’ve used my techniques to actually finish their mixes and release their songs.

Whether they’re working in rock, pop, folk, country, EDM or hip-hop, they’ve all gained the confidence to proudly to release their records.

So many of my students have achieved this that I created a Spotify playlist for some of the favorite records I've helped my students release after getting feedback and support from the community. It makes for quite the eclectic playlist, and I'd love to feature you on there too!
