Your Mix Plugins Don't Pay Rent

I coach mix engineers at all levels to establish real business systems that work.

No funnels. No Facebook ads. No "10X YOUR INCOME!" No DMing strangers on the internet.

147+ mix engineers transformed from feast-or-famine to fully booked.

Jon Castelli,
Grammy-Nominated Mix Engineer

Michael helped me see my business completely differently. The line between personal and business growth began to blur as we aligned on values both should be built upon. He has a unique way of focusing conversations to tease out what makes you and your brand the most concise version of themselves.

Recognize this cycle?

✓ You get busy, stop marketing, then panic when it slows down

✓ You quote low because you're afraid they'll go elsewhere

✓ You take every project, even the ones that drain you

✓ You see engineers at your level charging twice your rate

✓ You've been "about to raise rates" for two years

✓ Your "system" is scattered across texts, emails, and voice memos

✓ You check Instagram and feel like everyone's doing better

✓ You're one bad month away from panic mode

✓ You say yes to midnight revisions because "that's the job"

✓ You have no idea if you're actually profitable

If you checked more than 3, I can help.

Your mentors taught you compression.

I teach you profit margins.

I've lived in both worlds. I've toured with bands, produced records, conducted research for OEK Sound (bloom, soothe, spiff), designed for PMC Speakers, taught at multiple universities, and spent nearly two decades working alongside the top 1% of this industry.

But here's what actually matters: I've watched brilliant engineers destroy their careers because nobody taught them business.

The engineers making $10k+ per month aren't better mixers. They're not more talented. They just learned what no studio will ever teach – how to run an actual business when your clients are broke artists, chaotic labels, and producers who text at 3am.

You need someone who understands why this industry requires completely different rules.

That's exactly what I've built a system designed specifically for mix engineers, tested on 147+ careers, proven in the real world where your clients are artists, not corporations.

  • "His ability to help structure your strategy, streamline your systems, and simplify all the boring sh*t that usually gets in the way of landing work, is next level."

    Mike Avenaim (Los Angeles)
    Zac Brown Band, Sara James, Maisy Kay

  • "Not only has my workflow improved, but I've also noticed a significant decrease in stress and overwhelm."

    Julia Borelli (Berlin)
    Mixed for RÜFÜS Du Sol, Anyma, Solomun

  • "Michael helped me realize I don't need to chase every opportunity. I always had this scarcity fear that if I didn't say yes to everything, the phone would never ring again."

    Matt Keller (Arizona)
    Mixed for Taking Back Sunday, The Maine, Demi Lovato

Not Sure Where To Start?

Common questions

  • Here's what's actually happening: Every producer who can't get placements is suddenly a "coach." They're selling you the dream from their bedroom, teaching Facebook funnels to "audio professionals" because they've never actually specialized in anything.

    The truth:

    • They're teaching Meta ads. I'm teaching you how to work with actual artists.

    • They coach "everyone in audio." I only work with mix engineers. That's it.

    • They've been "coaching" for 6 months. I've been doing this for years.

    • They promise "10X growth!" I promise real systems that actually work in studios.

    • They've never been in a real session. I have the top 1% of the industry on speed dial.

    Most importantly: They're teaching you to become them - a content creator desperately DMing strangers. I'm teaching you to become a sustainable mix engineer who never has to slide into anyone's DMs.

  • Payment plans available through Affirm (~$297/month). Plus, one proper rate increase pays for the entire program. Most clients see ROI within 60 days. The real question: Can you afford another year of undercharging?

  • Perfect. I have clients in Berlin, Amsterdam, Toronto, and beyond. The principles work everywhere. Sessions scheduled for your timezone.

  • You need to be good at mixing and have mixed at least 20 songs. This isn't for beginners learning Pro Tools. It's for capable engineers who are bad at business.

  • No. We rebuild actual business systems - pricing structures, client pipelines, project management, financial tracking. Plus you get a complete custom website. Mindset is maybe 20% of it. The rest is pure business mechanics.

  • The system works whether you mix death metal or Disney soundtracks. Business mechanics are universal. I've helped engineers in hip-hop, metal, pop, jazz, electronic, and even podcast mixing.

Find out why you're broke in 3 minutes

  • The Career-Ending Math Most Engineers Never Do:

  • Calculate your REAL monthly need (survival + goals + taxes)

  • Discover your ACTUAL hourly rate (including all those free revisions)

  • See the exact dollar gap between where you are and where you need to be

  • Most engineers discover they're undercharging by $4,000-8,000 per month.

  • You're not bad at mixing. You're bad at math.

This is for you if:

✓ You have solid mixing skills but shaky business skills

✓ You want to grow without becoming "that marketing guy"

✓ You're ready to treat this like a real business

✓ You can handle direct feedback and implement fast

✓ You want systems that support creativity, not stifle it

This isn’t for you if:

✗ You think one big placement will solve everything

✗ You want to stay in feast-or-famine mode

✗ You believe "real artists don't need systems"

✗ You're not willing to change what isn't working

✗ You need someone to sugarcoat the truth
