My offer to you

One song, mixed and mastered — completely free.

I'm offering a special opportunity for artists and bands to have one song mixed and mastered completely free of charge. Whether it’s a solo artist or a full band, all that’s needed are the individual track files — also known as stems — for each instrument and vocal.

Using the professional studios at The Recording Conservatory of Austin (TRCoA), I will mix and master the song into a polished, ready-to-publish file at no cost. The first song is 100% free with no obligations or hidden fees, and all artists retain full rights and royalties to their music. This initiative is part of Gus’s commitment to expanding his experience, connecting with new artists, and exploring diverse genres. Every project is peer-reviewed and overseen by seasoned audio professionals with decades of industry experience, ensuring a professional-grade result.

Recorded and mixed using top-tier studio equipment, this is an excellent opportunity for emerging musicians to collaborate with a dedicated engineer in one of Austin’s most respected learning and recording environments.

The studio

The Recording Conservatory of Austin

When a student decides to enroll at The Recording Conservatory of Austin (TRCoA), they’re choosing a school built around real-world, hands-on studio experience. TRCoA is known for its one-on-one instruction from professional audio engineers and producers who work directly in the industry.

From the first few weeks, students begin working with real artists and clients, gaining practical experience that mirrors professional studio life. The school’s facilities are described as world-class, featuring high-end recording and mixing equipment, sound-treated rooms, and an environment designed to foster creativity and professionalism.

Students have open access to the studio, allowing them to book time freely to practice, record, and collaborate. Networking is emphasized as a key part of success — students learn not just technical skills like recording, mixing, and mastering, but also how to build and sustain the business relationships essential in the music industry.

For anyone serious about turning passion into a career, TRCoA offers both the tools and the connections to make that possible.

Who is Gus

A dedicated engineer, building his craft.

Before attending TRCoA in Austin, Texas, I pursued a music degree in Bozeman, Montana, at MSU. Having recorded, mixed, and mastered my own works, I decided to pursue a career in studio engineering and now offer free mixing and mastering services for individual artists or bands (which can include recording at My Studio in Austin, TX).

Get 1 free song per artist/band, no strings attached — you maintain all rights to the mixed, mastered song. I just need to bring new mixes to my classes, and this is your opportunity to get it for FREE!
