Inside, we work with you one-on-one and connect you with a super positive community of artists and producers worldwide, so you don't have do go it alone. We help you record and finish songs you’ll be proud of forever.

👉 If you already have songs written and want to get them release-ready, you can apply now. We’ll show you how to produce, mix, and master your songs. Right in your own home studio. At the best quality possible.

If we accept your application, we’ll first have a free call with you. On this call, we’ll make a custom plan just for you. If you don’t love this plan, you don’t have to pay anything and you can walk away.

But if you do love the plan and want to work with us, here’s our promise:

You’ll have at least one finished, pro-sounding song within 6 months. That’s the minimum, you can do way more! And if it doesn’t happen, we’ll keep working with you for free until it does.

Sounds fair?

Episode show notes:

On this episode, you'll learn what it takes to turn a voice memo on a phone, or a very rough song idea, into a finished song that can then be recorded and mixed without compromise.


If you want to work with us and apply for our coaching, you need to have songs written and ready to be recorded.

You need material that is pretty much ready to go, so that we can walk you through the production process and make sure you get exceptional results recording and mixing those songs yourself.

Manel is exceptionally great at this part of the process, the writing and pre-production. So we're letting him walk us through his approach step-by-step.


This is great for you in many ways:

If you want to self-produce your songs and plan on working with us through our coaching, you can prepare and get your songs ready for that.

If you don't want to do that yourself, you can contact us and bring Manel on to your team, so he can work with you on getting your songs ready at the highest quality.

If your plan is to go to a studio, you can prepare for that session properly to make the most out of it. Your engineer/producer will love you for it. ;)


Either way, you'll walk away prepared and ready to kill it on your next project without cutting corners.

So, walk us through your process Manel! What are the steps you go through with every artists to get them the results they want?

Let’s go!
