The Struggles of a Busy Home Studio Musician
You love making music. But between work, family, and life, finding time to actually finish a track feels impossible.
You’ve spent hours watching YouTube tutorials, tweaking plugins, and trying different mixing chains—only to end up with muddy vocals, weak drums, and that nagging feeling that it just doesn’t sound “pro.”
You want to share your songs with the world…
But deep down, you're not sure they’re ready.
Maybe you’re tired of asking friends for feedback that never comes.
Maybe you're done relying on expensive engineers who don’t get your sound.
Or maybe you’ve got a hard drive full of half-finished tracks collecting dust.
You’re not a beginner. You just need a system that works for you—one that fits your life, not the other way around.
How To Sound Pro—Without Burning Out
I help home studio musicians over 30 mix and master their own songs—without endless guesswork, tech overwhelm, or sacrificing family time.
With almost 30 years of music experience and a background in the professional education space, I break things down simply and practically. No fluff. No filler. Just proven techniques tailored for real-world, non-acoustic-treated rooms and real-life schedules.
Whether you work in Logic Pro or you're just building your setup, I’ve got tools and templates designed to help you move faster and sound better—without needing expensive gear or years of trial and error.
You’ll walk away with the confidence to finally finish and release your music—and be proud of how it sounds.
Let’s get your songs ready for the world.

About Subphotic
I've spent almost 30 years making music, and been part of a ton of releases, mostly in Norway but also internationally, both as a beat maker and scratch DJ, and I've mixed and mastered tons of songs.Â
In my experience, the greatest road block to finishing and releasing music is mixing and mastering. It's frustrating to have an awesome production done only to leave it on your hard drive because it just doesn't sound good. A lot can be done in production, but the final, polished result demands some knowhow and practice.Â
Having struggled massively with this for years, I'm passionate about showing you how to make your songs sound as good as possible, using the equipment you already have.Â
Therefore, I started this Youtube channel and this blog, gifting away free resources and doing one on one consulting with people from all around the world on how to finish more music, mix and master it so they can release it with confidence and pride without having to book a producer or an engineer every time a new song idea pops into their heads.Â
So I profoundly encourage you: Pick up the resources, dive into my library of content and don't be a stranger: Hit me up if you have any questions or face any roadblocks. I'm rooting for you!Â
Here's to your music,
-SubphoticÂ
