What is Edible Music all about?

I’m Scott Herder.
I Help Home Studio Musicians & Engineers
Learn How to Mix So That They Can Make Their
Next Best Songs.

I’ve been an educator for many years now. On my way to receiving a PhD, my passion for teaching and devotion to music led me to found Edible Music, which lets me help more music producers & engineers advance their skills and take huge leaps in their artistic journey.

Today, I show you how to make music sound to your taste. By combining the technical with the art, Edible Music helps you apply the mechanics of mix engineering to the art of music production.

My focus is on helping you now with knowledge and techniques that will last you through every mixing project you do in the future. In one-on-one workshops and in-depth mentorship programs, I help you solve the problems you have now and give you clear and useful guidance that will put a shine on every mix you make.
