Learn the Skills That Make Professional Producers

What You'll Master

Recording & Editing Fundamentals

You’ll learn how to properly capture instruments and vocals at the source so that mixing becomes easier. From microphone choice to editing performances for tightness and clarity, you’ll build a rock-solid foundation for every production.

Drum Production That Hits Hard

You’ll master the process of recording, editing, and mixing drums that sound massive, consistent, and professional without relying on fake-sounding samples. Learn to control bleed, fix phase issues, and use processing to make your drums punch.

Vocal Production Secrets

For the first time, Spencer reveals his exact vocal chain and the techniques he uses to sit vocals perfectly in a mix. You’ll learn how to coach vocalists, handle pitch correction transparently, and process vocals so they’re clear, powerful, and upfront.

Guitar & Bass Tone Mastery

You’ll discover how to record guitars and bass that sound huge without mud or brittleness. From DI tracking and reamping to EQ and phase alignment, you’ll gain the skills to craft tones that cut through a mix with body and aggression.

Mixing with Confidence

Instead of second-guessing every move, you’ll learn how to mix instinctively. Spencer shows you how to organize sessions, make fast decisions, and maintain perspective so you can achieve pro results. Whether it’s a 7-track demo or a 120-track production.

Depth, Width & Loudness

You’ll master the art of creating three-dimensional mixes that feel wide, powerful, and alive. Learn how to balance loudness with dynamics, glue tracks together, and deliver polished productions that stand up against commercial releases.

What’s Really Holding Your Music Back?

This isn’t just about making better mixes. It’s about finally creating music you’re proud to release.

Most musicians fail in the studio because they never learn proper production. They drown in endless plugins, tutoraials, and guesswork but never getting consistent results.

Spencer built this course to cut through the noise. With 15 hours of structured lessons, multitracks to practice on, and step-by-step instruction, you’ll finally learn how to take a song from demo to finished master.

Meet Spencer Sotelo

While best known for his soaring vocal work with prog-metal titans Periphery, Spencer’s seat at the recording desk has become as home to him as center stage on the biggest tours in metal.

Under the early tutelage of recording guru and MixWave Studios founder Taylor Larson; Spencer equipped himself with all the studio insight and production knowledge an already grammy-nominated vocalist could ever yearn for.

While continuing to push the envelope of what’s even possible in metal vocals with his band Periphery, Spencer has also pushed his production and arrangement chops fronting avant-garde rock opera trio King Mothership and with his extensive production work and nostalgic pop-sensibility in synthwave supergroup Nik Mystery.

Sotelo continues to elevate the production value of his expanding client base with a thirst for knowledge, a true tastemaker’s ear and a genuine passion for educating colleagues and clients alike.
