Make the Music You Were Born to Make

If you've tried to record songs on your own, I bet you can relate to these:

• "I don’t know where to start."
• "I can’t ever get a good mix."
• "My tracks sound boring and repetitive."
• "My recordings don’t sound like what I hear on the radio."
• "I don’t know how to get good recordings, or even how to KNOW if I've gotten a good recording."
• "I can record, but I don’t know how to produce."
• "I'm intimidated by the idea of recording things like drums or cello."
• "I never finished projects."
• "I say, 'I can fix it in the mix' a lot."

With so many potential areas of frustration, it’s easy to start believing the lies. Lies like:

• "I can’t make great music in a home studio."
• "I need expensive gear to make good recordings."
• "I can fix it in the mix."
• "I can’t expect pro-quality results as a hobbyist."
• "I’ll never be able to record like my favorite artists and producers."
• "I can’t get better."

Here's the TRUTH: You absolutely CAN make great-sounding music in a home studio.

How do I know? Because I’ve done it. Many times. And I have hundreds of friends and students who have done it as well.

If you are dissatisfied with your current recordings, you need to make some changes, but not the changes you think. You don't need to go out and buy a bunch of "nice" equipment. You already own everything you need to make incredible recording. You just need a better process, a simple, repeatable music production system.

That system is what I teach inside of Home Studio Recording.

In case we haven't met…

My name is Joe Gilder. I'm a music producer from Nashville. I've been making music in my home studio for more than 20 years. I launched a YouTube channel called Home Studio Corner in 2009 with the goal to help people discover how to make great-sounding, pro-level music out of their home studios. I've helped absolute beginners release their very first album. I've helped experienced musicians take their music to the next level.

Helping thousands of people over the years puts me in a unique position to help you, because I've seen it all. Whatever problems you have, whatever obstacles you're facing, I can help.

What is Home Studio Recording?

Home Studio Recording is a fun, in-depth, work-at-your-own pace online course that will teach you:

• Engineering - How to think like a recording engineer. You’ll learn how to get great-sounding recordings, every time. Get rid of the guesswork and instead be CONFIDENT in your ability to consistently capture great recordings.
• Producing - To make great music, being an audio engineer isn't enough. You also need to be a PRODUCER. The Producer determines the creative direction of the song, what instrumennts/parts to reecord, while the engineer's job is to figure out how to record them.
• How to GIRATS - Ah, the oft-quoted acronym, Get It Right At The Source. If your mixes never sound as good as you want them, chances are you have a recording problem, NOT a mixing problem. Home Studio Recording is a GIRATS Masterclass. Your mixes will automatically improve as a direct result of embracing the GIRATS philosophy.

Home Studio Recording takes you step-by-step through my production process, not once but THREE times. That’s right, for this course I produced one song three different ways. And I take you along for the entire journey.

Small Production - First, we record a simple guitar/vocal version of the song. This is one of the best ways to hone your skills. Getting a quality guitar/vocal is a challenging but rewarding skill to master. It helps lay a solid foundation for your future work. AND it requires nothing more than a single microphone to get started.

Medium Production - Next, we take the song and create a bigger production, with guitars, keyboards, synths, lots of vocals, and even a cello. You’ll also learn more in-depth concepts for how to approach production in a way that virtually guarantees your songs will stay interesting from the first downbeat to the final chord.

Large Production - Finally, we take the song and do a full rock band version, complete with drums, bass, and some rockin’ guitars and vocals.

Home Studio Recording takes a balanced approach between teaching recording and production princinples and applying those principles to a song.

It also gives you a real-world fly-on-the-wall experience. This is not a vanity project, a recording documentary edited in such a way that makes me look like a genius. No, instead you get the REAL experience. You see my successes as well as my failures. You see when I botch the recording and when I nail the take. It’s the closest equivalent you can get to spending a week in the studio with me.

As soon as you place your order, you’ll have instant access to the following:

• Home Studio Recording members area, where you can track your progress
• Over 80 video lessons, divided up into 6 major sections
• Over 30 hours of in-depth content.
• Full access to the course from your web browser OR from our mobile app.
• The ability to ask me questions directly in the comments section for each video.

Bonus: 10-Day EP Course

10-Day EP is a really fun crash course in taking all the principles I talk about in my recording and mixing courses, and showing it in action as I give myself 10 days to record and mix a 5-song album (also known as an EP). 10-Day EP is the perfect companion to Home Studio Recording, giving you even more real-world insight into the recording and production techniques I use. It sold for $97, but it's included here for FREE. Here's what one 10-Day EP customer had to say about it:

"The 10 Day EP course is a major-league game changer. It provides both the discipline and the know-how to take your musical ideas to a fully produced, mastered EP ready for release. Whether you are a pro, or an amateur like me, you'll be amazed at what you'll create with Joe's amazing guidance. He's the best in the business - no exaggeration." - Hershey Bell

Personalized Feedback on One of Your Mixes (4-Course Bundle Only)

If you choose the 4-Course Bundle, you can submit one of your mixes for private, recorded, personalized feedback from me, redeemable any time. My normal rate for this $200. This is one of the BEST ways to jump-start your creative process, having someone give you specific, actionable feedback on exactly what your song needs.

A Question For You…

How much money have you spent on your studio? With computer, software, instruments, and other equipment, studies show that the average home studio owner will spend anywhere from $10,000 to $40,000+ on their home studios in their lifetime. If you were to enroll in an audio school, you could easily pay $80,000 or more for an audio degree.

For the price of a microphone, you can completely transform your music with this course. It's one of the only investments in your studio that is guaranteed to completely transform everything you do.

It's All GUARANTEED (no really)

If you follow this course and apply the system to your music, you will see transformational results. You won't believe how great your music sounds. If not, you can request a FULL REFUND. I call it The Most Ridiculous Guarantee on the Internet. You have ONE YEAR to decide if this was worth the money. (Try returning a microphone after a year.) I want to take the risk out of the equation for you. You've got nothing to lose, and everything to gain.
