You Know Audio.
What You’re Missing Is Direction.

LPR: The Business of Audio Community is a working community for engineers, producers, and studio owners who want to stop guessing, get real guidance, and figure out how audio actually becomes income.

Step Inside the Community

Free entry available. No pressure. You’ll know quickly if this is right for you.

✅ WHO THIS COMMUNITY IS FOR (AND WHO IT’S NOT)

This is for you if:

  • You already know your way around audio, but you’re unclear on what actually moves the needle

  • You’re tired of chasing gear, plugins, and tutorials with no real progress

  • You want honest direction on clients, workflow, and making this sustainable

  • You don’t need motivation — you need clarity

  • You’re open to treating audio like a business, not just a passion

 

This is NOT for you if:

  • You’re looking for shortcuts, hacks, or overnight success

  • You want to stay purely theoretical and avoid real decisions

  • You need constant hand-holding or validation

  • You expect someone else to “make it work” for you

  • You’re just collecting content instead of applying it

 

This community exists to help you decide what’s worth your time — and what isn’t.

Step Inside and Look Around

"You don’t need more to do. You need to know what to do next."

If you’re nodding your head… it’s time to get moving.

You’ve tried doing this alone.
You’ve watched the videos, bought the gear, and waited for your “big break.”
Stop waiting — start building.

WHY MOST ENGINEERS NEVER MAKE IT

Look — most engineers don’t fail because they’re not talented.

They fail because nobody teaches them the business side.

They know how to EQ a snare…
but they don’t know how to get clients.

They can run Pro Tools…
but they can’t price their work without guessing.

They finish school and ask,
“Now what? How do I actually start making money?”

That’s the gap.
That’s what keeps talented engineers broke.
And that’s exactly what this community fixes.

Because I don’t teach theory —
I teach the Systems that built a real studio business for 20+ years.

Everything You Need to Build Your Audio Career

When you join the community, you’re not buying “courses.”
You’re getting systems.
You’re getting workflow.
You’re getting the business side nobody teaches.

Here’s what you unlock:

Weekly Live Coaching/Q&A Calls

Real answers. Real direction. No YouTube guessing.

Mix Feedback & Workflow Fixes

Post your mixes, your sessions, your templates — get professional feedback so you stop spinning your wheels.

Pro Tools Templates + Engineering Shortcuts

I give you my templates, session setups, routing strategies, and actual working engineer workflows so you're not rebuilding your session from scratch every time.

How to Find Clients & Build Your Business

Pricing, pitching, closing, automations, client systems — everything real engineers wish they learned when they started.

Resource Library (Growing Monthly)

Short cut guides, checklists, cheat sheets, I/O setups, tracking tips, vocal recording guides, and new material added often.

Private Community Support

No trolls, no noise, no bullshit — just people serious about getting better and getting paid.

A Straight Line to Your First (or next) Paid Work

No hype. No shortcuts.
Just a clear path to becoming someone clients actually hire.

The Truth: You Don’t Need More Tutorials — You Need Direction

Most new engineers aren’t failing because of talent.
They’re failing because they’re stuck in “Hobby Mode”:

Before joining LPR:

  • You’re learning alone and second-guessing everything

  • You’re watching YouTube hoping the next video “fixes” you

  • You feel behind, unsure, overwhelmed

  • You have no real workflow, no mentor, no momentum

  • You know how to record — but you have ZERO business strategy

After joining LPR: The Business of Audio Community:

  • You finally get a real workflow that actually improves your sound

  • You start getting consistent feedback so you stop guessing

  • You get clients the way working engineers do — not by hoping

  • You gain a business foundation most engineers never get

  • You feel supported, guided, and pushed — not stuck, alone, or lost

This isn’t school. This isn’t gear talk.
This is the coaching you wish you got on day one.
