"Platinum Mixes" music production mixing and mastering

04/12/2026

I built something for myself… and it turned into something much bigger.
👉 https://BookMeBee.com
After decades of owning and managing recording studios in the Hollywood area, I’ve used just about every tool out there — and none of them quite did everything I needed in one place.
So I built the app I always wanted.
BookMeBee combines the best parts of tools like Trello, Toggl, and booking apps — all in one system.
It handles:
• Clients
• Scheduling
• Client self-booking
• Projects
• Invoices
• Notes & checklists
• Time tracking → billing
And every page that needs it includes a “Learn This Page” tutorial with voice guidance, so you’re never stuck.
💡 No downloads. No installs. No sign-up required.
It’s a full web app — just open it in your browser and go.
💰 Pricing:
👉 The free version is fully functional with just a few limitations
👉 $20 lifetime for Pro
👉 Unlimited everything
👉 Free updates
I made this primarily for myself — but if it helps you, use it.
Please feel free to share it with anyone who could benefit.
If you want to support the project, grab the Pro version.
If you can’t afford it, message me — I’ll take care of you.
This is just the beginning. Would love your feedback.

🎼 I just launched a new Music Trivia & Ear Training App — and it’s 100% FREE.

After years of teaching at UCLA and working as a recording engineer, I wanted to create something that makes learning music fun, interactive, and actually stick.

This app combines:

✔️ Composer & music trivia

✔️ Ear training (guess by listening)

✔️ Real music examples from YouTube

✔️ Beginner to advanced levels

✔️ Educational breakdowns after every answer

It’s designed for:

🎹 Musicians

🎧 Producers

🎤 Vocalists

🎼 Students & teachers

One of my favorite features is “Play First → Guess” — you hear the music first, then try to identify it. It turns learning into a game.

🚀 Coming soon:

Pop / R&B and Rap / Hip-Hop sections

This is just Version 1, and I’d love your feedback as I keep building it out.

If you’d like to try it or want me to send you the link, drop a comment or message me.

🚀 Just released a new app — and it pairs perfectly with my Ear Training Essentials.

If Ear Training helps you hear music…

👉 Music Notation Essentials helps you read it.

I built this as a sister app so musicians can train both sides:
👂 Ear
👀 Notation

New features:
• 🔥 Streaks + leveling system
• ⏱️ 60-Second Challenge
• 🎯 Daily Challenge
• 📊 Score tracking (with high scores saved)

It’s designed to feel more like a game—but you’ll notice real improvement fast.

If you’ve ever struggled with reading music, this makes it way more approachable.

Curious how fast you can recognize notes and rhythms now 🎼👇

🚀 Big update to my Ear Training app!

I’ve been working on making this both fun and actually useful—and this update really pushes it there.

New features:
• Harmonic Minor + Lydian scales
• Minor 3rd & Minor 6th intervals
• Maj6 & Min6 chords
• 🔥 60-Second Challenge mode
• 🎯 Daily Challenge + streak tracking
• 📊 Score tracking (highest scores saved)

It’s starting to feel like a game—but you can literally hear your ear improving as you use it.

Try the 60-second challenge and see how you do 👂🎶

I’m now offering private Mixing Lessons — in person (North Hollywood) or online.

If you’re serious about learning how records are actually mixed — not just presets and plugins, but decision-making, balance, tone, space, impact — I can show you how it’s done in real-world sessions.

I’ve mixed for artists including Robbie Williams, Take That, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony and others, and I spent 10 years teaching recording engineering at UCLA. I’ve worked in major Hollywood studios, on analog consoles, tape, and today’s hybrid workflows.

In these lessons, we can cover:

• Vocal mixing that sits and sells
• Low-end control (kick/bass relationship)
• Compression that adds energy, not mud
• EQ that creates space instead of clutter
• Automation for emotional impact
• Analog vs. digital workflow
• Stem extraction and audio-to-MIDI tools
• Mixing your actual songs together, step by step

This is not theory.
This is hands-on, practical, professional mixing.

Whether you're a producer, artist, engineer, or advanced hobbyist — I’ll meet you where you are and move you forward fast.

Serious inquiries only.
Message me to schedule a session or a free consultation.

I’m expanding deeper into professional music transcription, custom charts, arrangements, and engraving.
If you have original songs, I can turn them into clean, performance-ready sheet music you can:
• Hand to session players or touring musicians
• Use for rehearsals, live shows, church or theater productions
• Sell online as a new revenue stream

Over the past several years, I’ve created piano/vocal and performance arrangements for major artists including Lady Gaga, Adele, Sarah McLachlan, The Weeknd, Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber and more.
If you're an independent artist, I can also help you set up your own online sheet music sales account — or, if it makes more sense, I can distribute your arrangements through my catalog, which reaches over 5,000 brick-and-mortar music stores in the U.S. alone, plus several thousand internationally.

Professional engraving. Accurate transcription. Artist-style authenticity.
Starting at $49 per song.

You can view some of my published arrangements here:

If you’re sitting on great songs that deserve to live beyond a recording, let’s talk.
