I’ve been a fan of Zach’s mixes and productions for many years and first had the opportunity to work with him when he produced/mixed me and my fiancee’s EP. I’ve always been interested in production and mixing and was thrilled to sign up for Zach’s coaching program to level up my skills. Going into the program, I had plenty of musical knowledge, but limited technical knowledge. Each week Zach and I explored different mixing and engineering topics including micing techniques, processing different instruments, EQ/compression, spatial processing, and so much more. As skilled of a mixer Zach is, he is an equally skilled instructor and is able to effectively break down sometimes quite advanced technical concepts into easy to understand and practical ones. Throughout this learning experience, if I ever had any music technology questions while in the middle of a project, Zach was always available to answer my questions and provide his insight based on his many years of experience. Zach is extremely patient, kind, and supportive which makes learning from him a true pleasure. Another thing I really enjoyed about our coaching sessions was having the opportunity to practice mixing with multitracks he would send to me and then receive his feedback. Through the process of receiving notes from Zach and discussing them at our coaching sessions, I became increasingly confident as a mixer. Now, a little over a year later I feel confident in pursuing a career in audio engineering, mixing, and producing. I have accumulated a number of mixing/production clients and have discovered one of my greatest passions in life. I couldn’t be more thankful for Zach’s expertise, guidance, and friendship. I highly recommend this coaching program to anyone looking to level up their skills!

Hi I'm Zach Hughes - Music Producer, Recording & Mix Engineer, and Music Production Coach

 

 

I have spent the past 12 years of my life learning how to produce the best sounding records I possibly can.

 

I went to audio school. I got the degree. I built a recording studio from the ground up. I watched a million Youtube videos, took the online courses, met with mentors, read the books, listened to the podcasts, sourced and distilled information from all the disparate parts of the internet.

AND STILL I never felt like I found the one great resource that I could tap into to learn more about the elements of music production that I needed to know NOW. That met me exactly where I was at NOW.

I wanted to make records that sounded like my heroes. I wanted to understand how other artists and producers could create such incredible sounds. I wanted to know how to get great sounding vocals, guitars, keys, bass, and drums. I wanted to know how I could get my recordings to give people goosebumps.

There's an endless ocean of contradictory information out there when it comes to audio and recording. It seems the loudest voices in the room have the least amount of experience or don't even practice making music anymore.

For a while it was fine. Wasting endless hours of my life searching for the one little nugget of information I needed to get me 0.0026% closer to the result I needed.

 

Until I realized that most people don't know what they're talking about or are just flat out wrong. One person in one forum or thread would say one wrong thing that would somehow get regurgitated over and over again in the endless echo-chamber of social media talking heads.

I got tired of it. So I picked up the manual. I tested the gear. I experimented, I tested. I experimented and I tested. Until finally I got to a place of understanding and I felt confident in my own taste and abilities with zero insecurity. Now making records is intuitive, it comes naturally, and is honestly such a joy.

Tens of millions of streams and counting...

And one of the best parts?

I get to use my music production skills to create and publish assets that generate consistent monthly income for me. And once that snowball get's rolling I don't have to lift a finger.

Sure it took me years to get to the point that I'm at now, but that was time I spent pursuing my own dreams, NOT trading hours for barely enough dollars to scrape by and helping to achieve someone else's dream.

I took myself seriously and I made the investment in myself. That I believe is the best investment you can make.

Music Production Coaching is for you if:

  • You are passionate about music production and learning the skills required to make great sounding records
  • You are tired of investing your valuable time and energy into everyone else's business but your own
  • You are tired of searching endlessly for the answers you need NOW
  • You are wiling to put in the work and consistently make the time to improve yourself
  • You care about creating and releasing the best possible art into the world

This is NOT for you if:

  • You expect results without putting in the time, money, or effort to get there. You have to make it your business to care and invest in your education and skills. No one else will do it for you.

You are not going to learn the skills you need in time on Instagram, Tiktok, or Youtube...

Look at the catalogues of even the most prolific artists. It'd be rare to find any who have released more than one or two dozen albums.

You only get the chance to make so many records in your life. Rather than sputtering along and consuming whatever breadcrumbs you can find online to learn music production, why not consider really diving in and going deep?

Don't squander the few opportunities you have to bring your art into this world. Do what's best by the songs you so carefully crafted.

You could buy that $2k microphone, but I guarantee it's not going to solve your problems.

You could spend $20k per semester at some fancy audio school, take out loans, and go into debt.

You could try to get a super competitive internship at a commercial studio only to go on lunch runs and take out the trash for a year of your life.

Trust me I've been there.

I built this program because I want to empower as many artists as I can by making accessible the knowledge and understanding of music production so that more and better art will be brought into this world.

And that is why you can get access to the Music Production Coaching program, including Mixing For Artists, starting at $600.
