New year, new additional feature.

You want to get better and improve your skills in audio production, recording and mixing?

You've watched hours of YouTube tutorials and masterclasses, you own the hottest plugins but it doesn't sound right and there is no help for your specific needs?

Then this is for you.

I offer one on one coaching sessions over the internet where you stream your master bus in CD quality from your DAW live into my reference speakers with an easy to use and free software.

I will listen in real-time to your files on my system and together we'll bring it to the next level.
