Your Sound?
Let's discuss how this service can bring your vision to life with world-class production.
Remote Production Coaching is the fastest way to level up your songs, workflows, and deliverables without leaving your home studio. You get practical guidance from a producer and mixer who specialises in heavy metal, hardcore, pop punk, rock, pop, and electro, with a clear step by step plan that turns rough ideas into release ready recordings. We work to your goals and constraints, align your process with proven standards, and lock repeatable methods you can use on every release that follows.
Remote Production Coaching
This coaching is part producer, part project manager, and part quality control. We translate your taste into a concrete production plan, then move through pre production, sound design, tracking, editing, and mix prep with simple checklists. You will learn how to build sessions that stay organised, how to record performances that comp and edit cleanly, and how to deliver stems that mix fast and master well. Every decision is grounded in the realities of today’s listening environment, from phone speakers to club PAs and festival stages.
We operate from The Clubhouse in Bournemouth and support artists worldwide. Some clients join for a single sprint to rescue a project that is behind schedule. Others work with us through a whole campaign across singles, EPs, live drops, and deluxe editions. Either way, you will see your songs move from uncertainty to clarity, with fewer revisions and more confident releases. When you want us to take work off your plate, we can plug in complementary services like pre production demos, song structure refinement, melody writing, lyric writing and editing, vocal production, mixing, and mastering.
Coaching for producers and artists working from anywhere
Remote coaching lets you make better records from your space and with your gear. We meet you where you are, optimise your room and signal chain, and build a repeatable production workflow that suits your style and schedule. The goal is independence and consistency. You finish stronger and faster, and you know exactly what to do on the next project without guessing.
Who this is for
- Bands and solo artists who want a producer’s guidance while retaining control of recording at home or in a rehearsal space.
- Producers and beat makers who want feedback loops, mix prep discipline, and deliverable standards that shorten revisions.
- Labels and managers who need predictable timelines and platform ready assets across multiple singles or EPs.
- DIY creators who want honest, genre aware advice that upgrades their workflow without buying unnecessary gear.
- Live focused teams who need studio to stage continuity for live backing tracks and custom click tracks.
What you get with Remote Production Coaching
- Clear production roadmap from pre production through tracking, edits, mix prep, and delivery. No vague advice. Just steps that work.
- Arrangement and structure calls that sharpen your songs before you hit record. When needed we plug in breakdowns and riff arrangement or structure refinement.
- Tonality and sound design reviews with specific notes for guitars, bass, drums, synths, and vocals so tones translate across devices.
- Session discipline including naming, colour coding, routing, and version control so your sessions remain fast and safe.
- Recording checklists for takes, comping, gain staging, and capture that keeps editing clean and musical later.
- Editing standards for drum editing, guitar editing, bass editing, vocal editing, and vocal tuning so timing and tuning support the emotion rather than flatten it.
- Mix and stem prep geared for mixing, stem mixing, and mastering without reprints or guesswork.
- Platform aware delivery aligned with common practices used by major platforms and broadcast. See resources below for context.
- Release support across promo assets like social media audio teasers, track previews, and EPK audio services.
How our Remote Production Coaching workflow runs
1. Discovery and goals
We start with a simple intake. You share your songs or sketches, your DAW, your interface and mics, and the timeline you are working to. We define the target outcome for each track and the constraints that matter, such as vocalist range, rehearsal logistics, and live show requirements. If you are planning a larger rollout, our release strategy consulting aligns creative goals with realistic schedules and platform needs.
2. Pre production map
Before any serious recording, we shape the songs using pre production demos. We test A and B structures, decide on chorus lift, and build tempo and click maps that feel human. If your music relies on intricate riffs and transitions, we integrate breakdowns and riff arrangement so drum and guitar decisions support the hook rather than fight it.
3. Signal chain and room
Great recordings start with repeatable capture. We review your gain staging, tracking levels, noise floor, and basic room setup. You will get a simple checklist for mic placement, DI strategies, and headphone mixes that help the performance. If you want flexible tone decisions later, we can include re-amping or bass DI re-amping and tone shaping in your plan.
4. Recording and comping
We build a capture sequence for drums, bass, guitars, keys, and vocals that respects energy and fatigue. You will learn how to comp quickly without losing feel, how to label takes clearly, and how to avoid the common traps that make later editing slow. If your songs need additional hooks, we can support with melody writing and lyric writing and editing.
5. Editing standards
Tight edits are a feature, not a crutch. We set rules for transient protection, crossfades, and quantize depth so drums still punch, guitars still breathe, and vocals keep personality. Where you want us to handle the heavy lifting, we can take on drum editing, instrument editing, vocal editing, and vocal tuning.
6. Mix prep that saves hours
We standardise file delivery. That means consolidated audio from bar 1, logical groups, and headroom that masters well. If the project is heading to another engineer, you will send a pack that wins respect. If we are mixing, your session drops straight into full mixing or stem mixing without reprints. For live campaigns, we also prepare stems for live backing tracks and custom click tracks so studio and stage match.
7. Translation checks
We reference on small speakers, headphones, and monitors to confirm arrangements and tones work at real world playback levels. We confirm vocal intelligibility at low volume, low end integrity on small drivers, and center stability in mono. This early discipline stops mix stage surprises, especially for heavy and modern music where low end and top end can get aggressive fast.
8. Mastering targets and delivery
We work toward clean masters that behave well under platform normalisation. If you master with us, we move into mastering with options like Mastering for Spotify, Mastering for Apple Music, Streaming Optimised Mastering, and Vinyl Mastering. If you master elsewhere, we explain headroom and export standards so your mixer and mastering engineer can do their best work.
9. Campaign assets
We help you shape teasers, shorts, and pre saves using assets created along the way. Our social media audio teasers and track previews keep your message consistent across platforms. If you are launching a tour or live session, we can also create live intros and coordinate tour backing track programming.
10. Booking and terms
Coaching blocks are scheduled on deposit. Our standard terms include a 50 percent non refundable deposit due within seven days of booking, with the remaining balance on delivery approval. We confirm milestones, review points, and deliverables in writing so there are no surprises. If the scope expands, we agree a change and keep the project predictable.
Workflow pillars we teach and reinforce
- Arrangement first so every section earns its place. Problems solved here save hours later.
- Gain staging and headroom so tracking feels good and mixes breathe at any level.
- Phase and polarity awareness so drum imaging and guitar doubles stack without smear.
- Low end architecture so kick, bass, and guitars cooperate instead of compete.
- Midrange intelligibility to protect vocals and hooks at the center of the record.
- Session organisation so anyone on your team can open the project and work immediately.
- Deliverable discipline so files meet expectations for mixers, mastering engineers, distributors, and live techs.
Integration with our wider services
As your project evolves, you can add services strategically instead of switching teams. Use Pre Production Demos to lock foundations. Add Melody Writing or Lyric Writing and Editing to sharpen the topline. Bring in Vocal Production for confident capture, or let us handle Mixing, Stem Mixing, Metal Mixing and Mastering, Metalcore Mixing and Mastering, Punk Rock Mixing and Mastering, Post Hardcore Mixing and Mastering, and cross genre projects. Finish with Mastering, options for hi res audiophile mastering, and platform aware choices like Spotify and Apple Music. For physical formats and special editions, explore Vinyl Mastering and Cassette Tape Mastering.

Room and monitoring guidance
Great decisions depend on what you hear. We help you get more reliable monitoring from what you already own using positioning, calibration, and cross referencing. You will learn when to trust headphones, when to trust monitors, and how to avoid chasing the room. We build habits that survive any environment, so you can keep producing on the road or in a new space without losing your bearings.

Remote Production Coaching FAQ
Do I need expensive gear to benefit from coaching
No. We focus on technique, decision making, and session discipline first. Most improvements come from arrangement, capture method, and editing standards. If a small gear upgrade would remove a bottleneck, we will say so, but the goal is results with what you have.
Can you help me set up consistent click tracks and markers
Yes. We design tempo and click maps that breathe with the song. We also prepare files for live use through custom click tracks so studio and stage feel the same.
Will you be honest if a section needs rewriting
Absolutely. We will tell you when a chorus does not land or when a bridge drains energy, and we will propose solutions. We can also execute fixes via song structure refinement, melody writing, and lyric writing and editing if you want hands on help.
Can you prepare my project for a mixer or mastering engineer
Yes. We provide a mix prep spec with consolidation, naming, and headroom rules. If we are mixing or mastering, we continue in house. Otherwise you will deliver a professional pack that saves time and builds trust with your team.
Do you offer one off sessions or only longer coaching blocks
Both are available. Many clients start with a one off assessment, then schedule a short block to push an EP or single over the line. We will tailor the format to your deadline and budget.
I collaborate remotely with bandmates. Can you streamline that workflow
Yes. We set file naming rules, folder structures, and version control habits so sessions remain stable across systems. We also define rough mix expectations so feedback is about the song, not confusing levels or limiter wars.
Can you help me hit platform targets without killing dynamics
We aim for impact first and then confirm behaviour under common normalisation practices. We plan headroom and tonal balance during production so mastering does not fight avoidable problems. For deeper control, consider streaming optimised mastering.
