You Want Good Recordings, But There's So Much To Learn!

It's A Lot, I Can Help

I'm Keith Livingston, and I'm a musician and songwriter, too. I'm also a producer, recording engineer, and I've even taught audio engineering and production at the college level. Now, I spend most of my time making music or doing something related.


I started out recording on a cassette 4-track and worked my way up into 24-track studios. Now, of course, I have as many tracks as I want to have, right on my computer.


But having lots of tracks and loads of plug-ins does not a good recording make. It's knowledge. Let me show you what I've learned over the years.

  • What gear to buy
  • Arranging songs
  • Mic techniques
  • Recording software
  • Overdubbing
  • EQing
  • Mixing
  • Mastering
  • Normalizing 
  • Editing audio
  • Setting levels
  • And lots more . . .

Save Time & Money, Lose The Frustration

My goal is to keep you from having to reinvent the wheel, or spend hours searching for how to get a good guitar sound, record a vocal, or EQ a snare drum. Our time is valuable, and we can't waste it. We need to spend that time writing, recording, practicing, and perfecting our craft, not to mention putting the kids to bed and working for a living.

So, whenever I run into a new guitar recording technique, struggle with a vocal and find a technique that works, see a vocal FX chain with promise, or find an arrangement hack that adds zest to a tune, I make a tutorial on it and share it with you.

So, although the workload is heavy, we're going to focus on the essentials, and make some real headway in making great sounding recordings.
