You have the ideas. The software is slowing you down.

You may recognize this:

  • You open FL Studio and don't know what to do first
  • Your beats sound unfinished
  • You can record vocals but cannot mix them
  • You keep starting songs without completing them
  • Tutorials answer one question but create five more
  • You don't understand signal flow, routing or plugins

You do not need more disconnected information. You need a clear process and personal feedback.

Choose your package

Every package includes private, personal instruction — no group cohorts, no generic curriculum. Pay securely online and your session gets booked.

Starter Session
One 60-minute private session
$99

Stuck on one specific thing? Get it solved in a single focused session — not a full course, just unstuck.

  • One-on-one with Roy — no group class, no recorded course
  • You choose the focus: workflow, finishing a beat, session setup, routing, a technique, or feedback on a track
  • Walk away with a clear next step and a session you can revisit

Choose one focus per session. Free Splice access is only included when you book 6+ sessions upfront (Studio Ready Package or above), so it's not part of this single session.

Our Splice Partnership

A professional sound library, built into your training

What Splice actually is

Splice is a royalty-free sample library with over 100,000 sounds — drum loops, one-shots, vocal chops, synth presets and full stems from working producers. Everything is cleared for release, so what you build with it is yours to put out with no sampling clearance headaches.

Book the Studio Ready Package (6 sessions) or higher and you get a free 4-month Splice account as part of your training — plenty of time to build a real sound library while you're learning.

Why it's this simple

Splice drops straight into FL Studio and Pro Tools — drag a loop or one-shot from the browser into your session and it's already in the project, in key and on tempo if you use their matching tools. No hunting for sounds on YouTube, no clearing samples after the fact, no guessing whether a kick will sit right in the mix.

In session, that means less time searching for sounds and more time actually finishing the track — which is the whole point of the training.

Why a sample library matters

Most unfinished beats die in the sound-selection stage, not the arrangement stage. A strong sample library means you're always starting from a professional-quality sound instead of a stock plugin preset or a phone-recorded one-shot — which changes how a beat feels from the very first bar.

It also means your production sounds current. Genres like hip-hop, R&B and pop move fast, and a library that's constantly updated keeps your sound from feeling dated the moment you finish a track.

Who it's for

These lessons are designed for beginners, developing artists, aspiring producers, church musicians and creators who want personal instruction instead of another generic tutorial.
