The Sonic Ranch Experience

An Immersive Recording & Mixing Workshop

This is More Than a Workshop—It’s a Creative Retreat That Lasts a Lifetime

In a world where creativity often happens in isolation, it’s rare to be in a room full of passionate musicians and producers, creating something real—together.

That’s what my retreats are all about. We’re not just working in some of the most inspiring studios in the world—we’re living the experience. Sharing meals, collaborating, and pushing creative boundaries in a fully immersive setting.

Over three transformative days, we’ll record, produce, experiment, and collaborate as a group.

It’s not just about techniques or gear—it’s about rediscovering your creative spark and deepening your connection to music.

 

👉🏼 Join the Next One

The next retreat takes place at Sonic Ranch Studios in El Paso, Texas, from January 23–25, 2026.

Tickets officially go on sale in June 2025, but there are 4 super early bird tickets available now—grab yours below.

Or, join the waitlist to secure early access when the remaining tickets drop in June. 

What You’ll Experience

🎚️ Day 1: The Sonic Experimentation Lab

Before we hit record, we explore sound itself. This will be a fun deep dive into gear and creative techniques:

  • A/B test microphones, preamps, and gear to hear real differences.
  • Try out various recording setups—ribbon vs. condenser, analog vs. digital, close vs. ambient.
  • Learn how to shape sound at the source instead of relying on mixing later.
  • Dive into recording philosophy and creative decision-making.

 

🎸 Day 2: Recording  – Bringing the Song to Life

  • Now it’s time to capture a real song, working hands-on in the studio:
  • We'll apply techniques from Day 1 to make deliberate sound choices.
  • Collaborate with musicians, producers, and engineers in real-time.
  • By the end of the day, we’ll have a fully recorded track ready for mixing.

 

🎛️ Day 3: The Interactive Mix Lab – Shaping the Final Sound

  • Group listening session to break down the raw recording.
  • Explore different mix strategies—subtle vs. bold, dry vs. ambient, warm vs. bright.
  • Hands-on workflow exploration and problem-solving.
  • Q&A deep dive into real-world mixing challenges.

 

 🚀 Bonus: After the retreat, I’ll finalize the mix in my studio and send you a behind-the-scenes breakdown of the final result.

  

🛏️ Stay, Eat & Create Together

✔️ Stay on-site at a beautiful pecan nut farm, surrounded by nature and gear.
