Struggling to make pro quality mixes in your home music studio? |
How to record, mix, and master your own high quality recordings (even on a limited budget)...
Does any of the following describe you?
You're very passionate about your music but have discovered that this same passion is not enough to create high quality recordings...
You've searched YouTube and Google for recording techniques making limited progress but your projects still don't sound as professional as you'd like them too...
You know the gear you currently have is capable of producing much higher quality audio but you're left frustrated because you're just not sure how to get there...
You're not alone and it's not your fault...
Advancements in today's technology has made very high quality gear extremely affordable to the average musician, singer/songwriter or recording engineer.
However, just having the right gear and software does not guarantee a professional quality mix.
If you can relate to this problem than I have the solution for you...
That's why I created the Backstage Coaching Club.
As a 20 year veteran recording enginner, I simply got fed up with the lack of support for the "working man: home studio owner.
I saw a void that often leaves the project studio enginner stuck and frustrated in their passionate pursuit to build industry quality projects.
I become so tired of the elitist pro studio enginner mindset that says "you can't build a great mix without decades of experience and half a million in gear".
Now YOU, can begin making professional quality mixes...
The BACKSTAGE COACHING CLUB is an A-Z, step-by-step, checklist guide to producing your own HIGH QUALITY RECORDINGS.
Being part of the Backstage Coaching Club allows you to:
- Build home music studio projects that you're proud to present to your fans, friends, and family members.
- Have a greater, longer lasting impact on those who are inspired by the music you make.
- Finally begin to understand the modern gear and software that's been standing in the way of your creativity for years.
- Benefit from the collective knowledge and experience of a community of like minded, home and project studio owners and experts.
and much, much more...
"I am always interested in what others who are trying to educate the masses have to say about the process of recording audio. I do agree with your 5 pillars article (which is what prompted me to subscribe). Keep up the good work..."
- Francis Buckley
Musicians Institute College of Contemporary Music

"I could say I have some experience prior to Dave´s training...but it was only when I started to take his lessons that I realized how much I did not know! Some parts completely blew my mind away because I never understood that some things he has shown are possible, and especially in home environment!"
- Pavao Akrap
Musician/Engineer
"As a result of being a member of the Backstage Coaching Club I have been able to record the BEST sounds ever into my latest project. Even without post-production, this project already sounds way ahead of my previous finished mixes! Amazing. I have learnt how to arrange a project, how to record with the best input signals and how to organize my workflow. I know I will learn so much more in the coming modules, it’s exciting to think just where David is going to help me take my skills to"
