MixCoach Experience Weekend 2026

Who This Weekend Is For

• You mix music but have never worked in top-tier Nashville studios.
• You want real session experience, not theory.
• You want to learn how to communicate with musicians, artists, and clients.
• You want confidence that this level of work is possible for you.
• You love studios, gear, musicians, and the creative process.

What You Walk Away With

• Confidence that you can run a real recording session.
• Hands-on experience tracking and mixing in Nashville studios.
• Relationships with musicians, producers, and mixers.
• Studio contacts you can use again.
• A shared experience with people who understand how you think.

The Experience

This is not a conference. This is real work, in real studios, with real people.

• Hands-on recording sessions with Nashville musicians.
• Live mixing sessions using the tracks we record.
• Direct access to experienced mixers and producers.
• One-on-one coaching and group feedback.
• Conversations you never get to hear online.

Event Schedule

Thursday morning (Experience PLUS only)

See the session planning come together. We'll take songs we've selected, go to the studio and work with the assistant to setup for the tracking session on Friday. You'll help pick mictrophones, setup headphones, plan the whole day. We will do some Pre-production, final song selection and review the number charts we wrote together earlier. 

Thursday evening (Everyone)

Afternoon meet-up for all attendees. Evening meet-and-greet at Arrington Vineyards with food, conversation, and surprises.

Friday

Full studio tracking day. Record songs with Nashville's best musicians. Ask questions, observe workflow, build relationships with studios, engineers, peers and musicians. We will start at around 10 and go until around 5 with catered lunch so we don't have to break-a-my stride.

Saturday

We will finish vocals if needed. Then we will start the mix the songs we created together and talk through every decision.
