I'm looking to work with a handful of musicians to become world-class playback engineers in only 12 weeks (September 29th-December 22nd 2025).

Here's what we're doing...

Our goal is simple: To help you become a world-class playback engineer, so you can get your dream playback gig, or become your own playback engineer and create the show of your dreams.

Program efficient, flexible, stable Ableton sets quickly
Build a Future Rig™ Playback Server, and On-Stage Performance Network™ to control instruments on-stage, and production off-stage
Learn to program, control, and sync lights, lyrics, charts, and video to Playback
Control instruments on-stage using iConnectivity devices, RTP MIDI, and Ableton

New Skills.

Bigger and Better Gigs.

And more freedom, and fun on-stage.

I've been teaching and training musicians to use playback as their “on-stage, un-fair advantage” for over 20 years as an Ableton Live Certified Trainer, and as a Playback Engineer. I work with Grammy nominated and winning bands and artists to create the perfect performance, with playback as their "weapon" without sacrificing their freedom and flexibility.

Over the past 7+ years I've built From Studio to Stage (an Ableton Live Certified Trainer Center) into a global training and community with over 30,000 minutes worth of content. My YouTube channel has over 5 million views, and has launched the Playback careers of thousands of musicians.

We've directly helped 1,000+ musicians master playback and transform their performances through From Studio to Stage.

Top-tier clients performing in stadiums and arenas...

...as well as hundreds of independent artists, solo artists, and bands who've elevated their shows regardless of venue size.

Over the last 20 years, I've helped them improve their performances with playback, with my guidance and systems.

And in 2025, it could be your turn.

Our Perfect Performance bootcamp is a proven program that helps you finally master the skills you've been longing for.

It's a small group of just 12, so I'm looking for the best fit here.

This won't work for you if you...

Think information is what you're missing, and you think endlessly scrolling tutorials on Youtube is "learning"
Think playback is an "easy gig" for people that couldn't cut it on-stage
Aren't willing to commit 2-4 hours per week to mastering these skills
Don't want accountability, and support that will make you finally achieve the results you've been looking for

But if you...

Want to finally APPLY knowledge, not just collect more information
Think a playback engineer's job is to serve, and view playback as an instrument
Have the time and desire to commit 2-4 hours per week, and believe you can learn this
Want to actually become a playback engineer, and you're willing to engage in the community, and lean-in to the accountability
Want to go beyond simply pressing spacebar, and learn the skills that will make you a world-class, in-demand, playback engineer

...This could be the program that changes everything!

We'll do it with a custom designed 12-week curriculum. Weekly Assessments. Coaching calls. Direct feedback and personal guidance from me, and a proven weekly rhythm that fits into your busy schedule.

The process is simple:

Monday 10AM ET: Content releases for the week (watch anytime). No need to show up at a certain time to learn. This is why we have so many students from across the globe join bootcamp.
Wednesday: Weekly coaching call (Held mid-day EST and recorded if you can't attend live)
Friday by 5PM ET: Personalized feedback from me delivered directly on your weekly assessment.

Just 2-4 hours of focused effort per week is all it takes to transform your skills.

The plan is simple:

Everything included in the standard bootcamp experience, plus…
My personal, one on one guidance via 4 one-hour Zoom calls with me (booked at your convenience during the bootcamp)
I’ll personally program your first 10 songs and build your first Ableton Set for you!

I no longer offer One-on-One Coaching calls. If you hired me to help consult, program, or be your Playback Engineer, you'd be paying me $1,000 a day, and I only work with Grammy nominated or winning artists/bands, so this is the ONLY opportunity to work directly with me.

My hope with this offering is to help you master this content faster, and give you extra confidence you're heading in the right direction and focusing on the right things.

By the end of the bootcamp, you'll have skills that can earn you $500-1000 per day as a professional playback engineer. You'll go beyond "just pressing spacebar" to develop a reputation as an engineer worth every penny, whether you're adding these skills to your existing skillset or pursuing brand new gigs.

"It put me from somebody that is learning Ableton to somebody that can help people with Ableton or actually teach certain aspects of it." - Mike Russo

With playback at the center of your performance, you'll create professional, synchronized shows with automated lights, video, and patch changes - all without hiring additional help. Your performances will be more consistent, more impressive, and you'll have the freedom to focus on the music while your rock-solid system handles the technical details.

"Through the program, there are assessments that I would recommend that you jump in and do every single one of and that's where you get the feedback from Will on putting to practice what you learned and he'll give you feedback on how you did and recommendations on how to tweak that again." - Matt Harvey

"I can't believe how far I've come. So thank you, Will." - Sean O'Donnell, former member of Yellowcard

This is your chance to stop collecting tutorials and start building a career.

Like I said, it's a small group, and I'm looking for the right people.

So if you...

Are tired of endless YouTube tutorials and ready to APPLY knowledge
Can commit just 2-4 hours per week to transform your skills
Are ready to move beyond "just pressing spacebar", and learn career advancing skills
Are friendly and coachable
Want to develop skills that can lead to professional opportunities

Then this program is for you.

"It was awesome. Will's great, crew's great. Made some great friends, really encouraged me to achieve so much more than I would have on my own. Do the boot camp. It's awesome. And apply yourself. It's up to you. You can do it." - Jordan Loder, independent musician

"I can say it was a blessing. It was very, very helpful... So my recommendations, try it. You will have a lot of information. You will get a lot of content and a lot of help. So I hope I see you in the community and we can chat!" - John Rojas, Netherlands

"I haven't regretted it for a single day since I signed up. I would do it again in a heartbeat. And I hope you will, too. I don't think you'll regret it either. It's been great for me. So take the time, make the investment. It'll be awesome." - Reese
