The real problem

Your ear is fine. The gap is between the record in your head and the bounce on your desktop.

You can hear it. The chords that melt, the drums that lean back, the vocal that sits right on top. Then you open your DAW and it comes out flat, stiff and a little bit "demo".

Generic tutorials teach you someone else's idea of a beat. What actually moves you forward is learning how the records you love are built, and the concepts behind them, so you can make that music yourself.

  • 01Your chords sound like a beginner's piano lesson, not a Sunday-service run.
  • 02Your drums are on the grid but there's no pocket.
  • 03You've got 40 loops in a folder and nothing released.
  • 04You keep overthinking every decision, so nothing gets finished.
Basic vs. career-ready

Same idea. Five changes. A completely different record.

Flip the session below. These are the kinds of concepts we pull out of the records you love and teach you to use.

Producer Mastery has helped me develop my skills and better familiarize myself with the steps necessary to work in the music industry. The modules on sound design, RnB production, and mixing have given enough ROI alone, but the community of supportive, collaborative individuals makes it especially worth it.

For me, the one on one calls are where I find the most value. You can get truly personalized feedback on your music and business as Rya helps you make actionable steps to achieve your goals.

DylanUK producer
★★★★★

Yo! I'm Dylan, a UK based producer branching out of my normal style and starting to make solo alt-rnb music. Rya has been incredibly helpful so far along this journey and has helped to provide real insight into areas for me to start developing on (as well as sharing some secret sauce along the way hahah).

The community here is fantastic too and there's a real sense of accountability between us to keep making better music. My growth as a producer has already been catapulted more in these few weeks than it has in the last few months.

★★★★★

My name is Jordan, I'm an R&B producer working on learning how to make Alt R&B and Alt Hiphop. Coming into this course I knew almost absolutely nothing about R&B production but after a month I can confidently listen to my beats and apply the skills learned. The best thing about Producer Mastery is how engaging and kind everyone is with each other, and the community is like a big family.

★★★★★

Rya and his course have been extremely helpful in starting my journey as a producer/mixing engineer. What would have likely taken me multiple months, or likely more, to accomplish. The process has been cut down significantly and done to a much higher level than what I would have been capable of myself.

Definitely worth the investment!

Producer Mastery has been a gem for me to connect with other knowledgeable musicians, and to also learn from the videos Rya posts. Learning to improve my vocal mixing was a game changer. I think the best part is definitely the community that comes with it, so many different opinions that help make your music better.

It doesn't have to take years

10 years ago, I was exactly where you are.

Rya in the studio
Rya · Producer & coach

I know what it's like to feel like something is missing, the thing that makes your tracks just click.

As an entirely self-taught musician, I struggled for years to get past the basics. I couldn't bridge the gap between my ideas and the sound I was chasing. It took me over 10 years of trial and error to find the keys to making top-level music.

It doesn't have to take you the same amount of time. I want to show you everything I've learnt.

How it works

Learn the music you actually want to make.

Generic courses teach everyone the same things and leave you barely better. Here we start with the artists you love, take their records apart, and learn the concepts behind them, so every lesson moves you towards your sound.

STEP 01

Map your influences

We pin down the artists and records you want to sound like, and exactly what you love about them.

STEP 02

Break them down

Rya teaches you how to pull a record apart: the chords, the drum pocket, the bass movement, the arrangement.

STEP 03

Learn the concepts

You learn the theory and techniques that make those records work, so you know why it sounds good, not only what was played.

STEP 04

Make your records

Apply it to your own tracks and get personal video feedback from Rya on each one.

Then go deeper

Each influence you break down adds to your toolkit, until the sound in your head is the sound you make.
