Make your music sound finished.

I give private lessons in music production to film and game composers, songwriters and artists. We work on the music you’re writing now, online or at Boom Studios in Porto.

MIX REVIEW

Send a mix or a mockup you're stuck on. I'll write down what's holding it back and what I'd try first, then we go through the notes on a call.

FOR SCHOOLS AND GROUPS

Rates depend on the format and how often we meet. Tell me what you have in mind and I'll quote it.

What we can work on

I studied composition and I've spent 13 years recording and mixing. Pick one area or combine them: most problems in a mix start earlier, in the writing or the recording.

PRODUCTION

  1. Virtual instruments and sample libraries
  2. Mockups that sound like reals
  3. Arranging and sound design: synths, layers, textures
  4. Writing to picture and to a brief
  5. Templates, routing and exporting stems

MIXING

  1. Balance before processing
  2. EQ and compression with a reason behind every move
  3. Depth and width
  4. Automation, so the mix moves with the song
  5. Working from references

RECORDING

  1. Choosing and placing microphones
  2. Tracking drums and full bands
  3. Getting the take out of the player
  4. Setting up a recording session
