Why you CAN’T AFFORD to rely on others to record your music for you:

Studio time is NOT going to get more affordable any time soon. In fact, if studios continue to close, the ones still open are going to get more and more expensive.

The cost of this program is about equal to a day’s recording session in a professional studio. With the knowledge you will obtain, you will never need to pay for studio time again.

Let’s do some maths. Say you want to record your new 10-song album at the local recording studio. Let’s say you need one day to record each song.

That’s 10 days in the studio at a daily rate of anywhere between $300-$500.

For 10 songs, that comes to a total of $3000 to $5000 for recording alone. That’s not including mixing, mastering and marketing – all of which YOU NEED to get your album finished, polished and out in front of fans.

Project that out 5 years from now and consider the costs of recording 5 albums. That’s $15,000 to $25,000 you are shelling out!

With this course, you will learn everything you need to know about recording music and take the recording studio out of the equation.

You will become a LIFETIME MEMBER, with all updates, new modules and bonuses becoming available for you FOREVER.

I don’t want to promise too much right now, but future modules I am considering adding will include Mixing, Mastering AND Music Marketing. And you’re in this for life!

The methods, processes and techniques in this program will empower you to produce high-quality recordings over and over again for the rest of your life!

“I don’t have enough mics to record my band”

You mean to tell me you play in a band and don’t know anyone with mics, interfaces and gear you could borrow for a weekend? Or you could hire some for a fraction of the purchase price.

This program is designed to get the most out of your gear. Maximum results with minimum equipment.

You see, most beginners think the more mics you have, the better your recording. In fact, it’s the other way round! The more mics you have, the more phase cancellation you get, which produces a muddy tone, a far cry from clarity and punch.

I will show you methods great producers use to record killer drum sounds using only FOUR mics – not just one technique but FIVE!

You will also learn why it is imperative that you start with ONE mic on each instrument first, and why adding more can actually detract from the sound.

“What if I can’t afford the best mics and the pristine, musical preamps that will get me that high-end sound?”

Whoever told you you need a $2000 mic to get a decent sound is lying to you. Thousands of records have been made using affordable mics, interfaces and gear and gone on to climb the charts, win awards, sell to fans around the world.

• The drums on inter:alia by At The Drive In were recorded with SM57s only. A $100 mic.
• Bon Iver’s For Emma, Forever Ago was recorded with an SM57 and an Laptop.
• Beck’s Odelay was recorded in a tiny home studio on a Pro Tools rig that took half an hour to render each take.
• Jack White recorded The White Stripes’ 2nd album De Stijl himself on an 8-track recorder in their living room.
• Iron & Wine‘s first album and Sufjan Stevens‘ third were self-recorded on 4-track recorders.

Don you think anyone asked these guys which preamps they used to record their albums?

Well, maybe At The Drive In at Clouds Hill, but other than that, NO!

By the way, we kick off the whole recording module with a video that shows which 5 mics you can use to record a whole band for under $800!

But chances are, you’ve already got some.

What if I’m not very technical?

If you know how to used a laptop or phone, you will be able to make your way around a DAW in no time.

If you can operate a computer, you can use Garageband. If you can use Garageband, it’s only a small step up to a fully fledged DAW.

You don’t need to learn 90% of the functions to record music. All you need is to know how to add a new track, arm it and press record, stop and play.

The Complete Creative Control course was designed to make the recording process AS SIMPLE AS POSSIBLE. I will guide you through every step and answer any questions you have on one of our 8 group calls.

Furthermore, in our online community of program members there will be constant support from myself and like-minded musicians on the same journey as you.

What if I don’t have a very good ear for recording?

I don’t believe you. You’re selling yourself short. You are a songwriter, a creative. You don’t just listen to music, you immerse yourself in it. You know exactly what you like and dislike and what sounds you want to hear on your record.

I will teach you what to listen for so you know exactly how to get the sounds you’re after.

It’s all about training your ears to focus on the timbres, frequencies and nuances on your favourite records and recreate them with the techniques I reveal to you.

This is the very first step to mastering audio production and is covered in Week 1!

“I think you need to be an audio engineer to record music professionally”

Everyone started somewhere. Inside Complete Creative Control I will show you the exact framework that audio engineers around the world use to record hit albums every day.

In fact, sometimes I wish I was back in the day when I was starting out with audio. I was so creative and free because I didn’t know all the traditional methods of mixing and so I just tried out things and did what I intuitively wanted to do. I played with panning, huge reverb swells and over-the-top

Combine that beginner’s creativity with the expert skills in this course and you will be set for life to create high quality, unique and innovative music!
