TRACK IN A MONTH BOOTCAMP

A painter paints, a writer writes, a producer produces music. It is critical that you’re always building your body of work as a synthwave producer not only to develop your skills, but to positively impact the world with your gifts.

It is very common for synthwave producers to enjoy very much experimenting with plugins, their DAW and their synths but really struggle when it comes to finishing tracks. I see it all the time on YouTube, on Reddit and inside my Discord community.

Finishing tracks is the most important public activity a music producer can do.

These days making and finishing tracks is nothing but joy to me. Sure, there are always challenges and obstacles that I have to overcome but I have the skill and confidence to finish each and every track I start. Typically in two weeks or less. Yes, you read that right, not two years, not two months. Two weeks or less!

My results aren’t due to my being a genius producer, because I’m definitely not it. I have simply found a repeatable process that gives me a clear focus, keeps me motivated, while allowing magical mistakes and creative discovery to happen.

I want to share and guide you through this process so you can experience how truly magical and satisfying producing music can become.

"This program took away my fear of mixing and mastering music. It showed me that they aren’t mysterious dark arts, but just small deliberate adjustments that can be learned with a little bit of practice. And that a little goes a long way."

"In the past I abandoned a lot of productions simply because I was getting stuck on details and ended getting bored of the track before finishing it"

“I'll be forever grateful for this program. I'm really happy with the end result of my track. It's a very simple track but I like it a lot. Can't wait to create another one!”
