What I Don’t Do (During Your Session)

  • I won’t produce or mix your track for you during the session
  • I won’t perform or record instrument parts for your project
  • I don’t provide hands-on engineering or full-service production inside the call
  • I won’t finish or deliver files for commercial release

Note: If you're interested in working together on a full production or mix outside of MusicPros, you’re welcome to bring it up during the session—or reach out through my other channels.

What To Expect

20-Minute Session

  • Ask three or more questions about your track, goals, and reference sound
  • Explain how I evaluate a mix for translation, impact, and release readiness
  • Give advice on tightening your production workflow and revision process
  • Outline how to reach best-in-class quality with the gear and plugins you already have

Make the Most of Your Session

A call flies by. The clearer you are about what you want, the deeper we can go. Remember—this is your time, so come ready to focus on what matters most to you.

Come Prepared → Get More Done

  • Define your goal: “I want my chorus to hit harder,” “I need to tame low-end mud,” “I’m pricing my first tour.”
  • Bring relevant materials: Mixes, demos, session screenshots, gear photos—anything that helps clarify the issue.
  • List your top questions: Prioritize 2–3 must-haves so we can dive right in.
  • Share context: A quick note on genre, timeline, or budget helps tailor the advice to your needs.

  • Most sessions are 30 or 60 minutes. Each mentor sets their own options, which you'll see when booking.

  • Absolutely. You can book as many sessions as you like, with the same mentor or different ones.

    However, please note:

    • If you cancel or reschedule more than 48 hours before your session, you’ll receive a full refund or be able to choose a new time.

    • If you try to cancel or reschedule within 48 hours of your session, your booking is considered locked in and no refunds will be issued.

    We do this to respect the mentor’s time and prep.
