Finally have the CONFIDENCE and repeatable SYSTEM to consistently FINISH MORE MUSIC!
Dear Home Studio Owner:
If you’re struggling to get your mixes to sound professional and polished…
It isn’t because you don’t have the newest, fanciest recording gear.
It isn’t because you don’t have the latest, flashy plugins that’s the new flavor of the month.
The reason why you’re struggling with mixing is because of something much simpler and easier to solve.
IF you’re willing to listen.
Here’s the big question…
Do you want to waste years, thousands of dollars, and your valuable time and energy chasing the next mixing gimmick, hoping for a silver bullet…
… Or are you ready to finally start mixing Radio-Ready Songs?
If so, let’s get started on changing your music forever…
Just in case you don’t know me, I’m Reagan Ramm, the founder of Orpheus Audio Academy, professional recording & mixing engineer for over a decade, and champion of the home studio musician…
But I wasn’t always like this.
I remember when I first started learning how to mix music in my parents' basement during high school.
I’d write and record songs, desperately trying to piece together a nice mix from it… without much success at all.
I couldn't even figure out how to get all of my tracks to align with the beat/tempo of the song for a good year (hello, quantization!).
Sorry to bust the myth, but it wasn't a silver bullet...
My mixing skills took years to build up.
While I started to improve in high school, it took me going to audio school and learning in a multi-million-dollar recording studio in Florida to solidify my mixing skills.
And over the years, I’ve studied all sorts of people inside the recording & mixing world.
As I spent more time learning from them, I realized something that separated them from the average home studio musician...
Nope, it wasn’t a fancy studio.
It wasn’t a big audio school education either.
It wasn't being mentored by a professional audio engineer either.
All these mixing pros had a system approaching their mixes!
Sure, their system would differ from individual to individual. Some of them would start off by mixing the vocals first. Others would swear by starting with the drums and bass.
But no matter what genre of music they made, no matter how many Grammys they had to their name… they approached every mix systematically, just like baking a cake.
Their recipes were different, but they had principles and similarities throughout their process.
They weren't focused on cramming in as many plugins as possible.
In fact, they seemed to rely on just a handful of plugins.
However, they also had an arsenal of mixing tricks that they constantly relied on.
If they needed a vocal to pop, there were just a couple tactics they’d use.
If they needed their drums to have a presence in the mix without being overpowering, it was just a few simple tweaks and they had it.
And through these top audio engineers example, I started to realize something:
I had developed my own mixing process and small arsenal of techniques that worked great for the home studio owner.
After I finished my education at the recording studio in Fort Myers, Florida, I started working on my own music career and songs.
I didn't have the money for a professionally treated or soundproofed room or fancy microphones, so I always had to work with recordings that weren't exactly the best in the world.
For example, I have three young children who can be quite boisterous, so I often found my recordings had their shouts, laughter, or crying in the background!
I still deal with this today, as I don't have any acoustic panels on my the walls of a converted bedroom that I use for my studio. (I've just thrown up some unused mattresses.)
But I was able to consistently get great mixes despite suboptimal recordings and listening environment.
Turns out, by mixing in these less-than-ideal conditions, I was able to refine a system that can take a home studio recording that wasn't great, and turn it into a radio-ready song!
This was in 2019.
Before & After Examples
Here are some examples of songs I mixed.
Metal
Here is a song by Hesher Cats that I mixed.
Electronic
Here is a song by Virtual QSO called "Lumen" that I mastered.

(This is an unmixed track.)
Fast forward to today, and Orpheus Audio Academy now has over 60,000 monthly readers/viewers, and over 10,000 subscribers across email & YouTube.
But my approach hasn't changed.
It's what you DO with your gear and software, not how much your gear and software cost.
I want other home studio musicians to be able to produce pro-quality music from home... without having to go through all the pain or having to spends tens of thousands of dollars like I did.
So I went to work, dissecting the mixing system that I had refined over years of study and practice...
Stripping away the unnecessary parts and breaking down the system into the bare essentials.
I worked tirelessly to put it together, to put together a comprehensive, definitive system for professional-quality mixing.
One that home studio owners could refer to for years, even decades after it was released, and still get great results with it.
Remember, unless you’ve got a clear understanding and process to mixing your music, it doesn’t matter what gear you have - you’ll always struggle to make the music you want to.
And that’s why today, I’d like to present to you the culmination of my years spent mixing music…
Introducing... Radio Ready Record
My all-comprehensive songwriting & mixing course that shows you the simple steps to radio-ready songs from your home studio with just free & stock plugins
Radio Ready Record gives you my songwriting system so that you can write catchy, amazing songs from scratch, even if you don't know how to play an instrument, or music theory.
Radio Ready Record also gives you my mixing system to produce great songs from your home studio, no matter what mixing software you’re using, no matter what gear you currently have.
In fact - with what you’ll discover inside this course, you could mix a great song even with your iPhone!
Radio Ready Record is an online course that comprises of 6 in-depth video modules.
Here's an overview of what you'll learn inside Radio Ready Record:
Module 1 - Foundations
In this module, you'll learn the fundamentals of the song creation process, and the mindset it takes to become a professional.
- What mindset to have when you start songwriting or mixing. If you've got improper thinking, then you can actually sabotage your own results.
- The essential gear that you need. And none of the fluff. You'll discover the bare minimum gear you need to produce pro-quality music from home.
- The secret weapon to radio-ready records. I know I said there is no silver bullet, which is true, but the technique you learn in this module is as close to one as you'll find.
- How to set up your listening environment so your ears aren't tricking you. Believe it or not, your ears are most likely tricking you, which is why your mixes don't sound good when you take them out of your studio to listen to them. This module will rectify this issue once and for all.
- Learn the fundamentals that most people skip when it comes to teaching music production and mixing, including 7 characteristics of sound, and how loud you should be listening to your music while mixing.
Here Is A Sample Lesson From Module 1:
Module 2 - Song Creation
In this module, you'll learn how to write a song from scratch, even if you can't play an instrument, or don't know music theory.

- Quick & easy lyric writing technique. Learn how to write great lyrics quickly that deliver a powerful message and create an emotional connection with your listeners.

Here is what people are saying about Orpheus Audio Academy:
Joachim D - France
“Reagan is awesome! very professional, simple and efficient... with his work he answers the questions we ask ourselves. Even if we have experience in music production, we learn a lot with Reagan! So thank you and good luck to you."
Decent Views Music
“Thank you for putting these videos up. I don't know music theory that well, but I've been playing and making music for over 20 years. I'm still finding great value in these videos, especially as I am really trying to learn more about the music production and synth wave aspects. Even just showing how the bus worked in this video was helpful for me, and something I'm going to try adding in to my music. I'm surprised you don't have more subscribers as your content is very professional! Thanks!”
To learn what's taught inside of Radio Ready Record, there's only a few options out there:
Option 1: Going to audio or music school and taking a program on recording & mixing
This option could work really well for you, but it will also likely cost you tens of thousands of dollars, and you might have to move cities or countries to do so.
For example, one of the more popular school for learning music production is Full Sail University, which is only about 3hrs away from me.
I even considered Full Sail for a time, but then I saw tuition is $86,000! Yikes!
Instead, I found a small local school which was thankfully a fraction of the cost (only about $10,000), although still way more expensive than Radio Ready Record.
Having to relocate and spend this kind of money means time away from friends and family, as well as possible stopping your current university program, or not working for a period of time.
Plus, what you'll be taught will be geared towards working in a professional recording studio, and you'll have to spend time adapting the lessons to your own home studio environment.
Not ideal.
Option 2: Finding Professional Audio Engineers in your area and asking them to take you under their wing and teach you the art of mixing.
But to do this, you'd have to knock on numerous studio doors, send emails that never get opened, and face rejection until someone yes, if they ever do.
Don't get me wrong--if you're mentored by a professional audio engineer, you can learn a ton.
This was essentially what my college education was, as I learned from a professional engineer in his professional studio where his main job was recording artists.
So I got a college degree on top of personal mentorship...but in my experience, this is a very rare arrangement, and one I haven't seen anywhere else.
Option 3: Trying to learn everything online on mixing yourself, and test it all out until you figure out something that works.
The issue with these various options is that they all cost either a significant amount of money, time and effort to make them work.
And even if you’re a full-time musician, while mixing is a crucial part of the music making process, it could mean you’d end up spending the majority of your time learning mixing as a skill, instead of actually making music!
As a musician myself, I know how it feels like to not be making the music you want to.
I know the angst of not being able to create the picture you have in your head.
It tears you down and impacts your daily life when you know you’ve got music inside you that you haven’t made yet.
But don't worry: Radio Ready Record isn't going to break the bank.
While the content inside this course is worth thousands of dollars spent on audio gear or mixing software, and while what’s taught inside Radio Ready Record is taught inside audio school programs that cost even more…
I want this course to be within the budget of any home studio owner.
And it’s going to cost much less than learning mixing by trial and error, where you can spend endless amounts of money, and still end up frustrated and not make the music you want.
I started Orpheus Audio Academy because I wanted to help people get better mixes and make better music with budget gear so that they can realize their dreams.
My first video on YouTube was on 9 different ways to start writing a song.
(That's me from my very first video to the left)
So how much does Radio Ready Record cost?
Well, the Radio Ready Record course itself is valued at $500…
… Which is already a bargain compared to what audio school might cost, or what even some people’s home studios cost!
And it’s priceless in terms of the time, energy and emotion it’ll save you from trying to figure out mixing by yourself.
And $500 honestly isn’t that much when you think about the potential of what you could do with your newfound songwriting and mixing skills with Radio Ready Record.
If you really like mixing, you could even turn your mixing skills into a viable side income of $500-$1000/month as a mixing engineer.
But most importantly - you’ll be able to mix your music to sound professional, polished, while still sounding unique and individual to you.
So today, because I’ve just launched Radio Ready Record, you can get lifetime access to the course, alongside $200 worth of free bonuses that’s going to accelerate your recording and mixing skills….
