This Is Where the Deeper Work Lives

This Is Not a Blog

It’s an intellectual membership for people who work behind the glass, in a commercial or home studio.

Most audio content today is built for speed.

Quick tips. Hot takes. Gear hype. Endless scrolling. This is the opposite of that.

This membership exists for engineers, producers, studio owners, and serious students who want to think better, not just consume more.

Behind The Glass is a living body of work — part essay series, part journal, part professional reference, designed to challenge assumptions, expose industry myths, and document how real decisions are made in real rooms.

No filler, no trends, no algorithms to please. Just ideas that hold up under scrutiny.

Members have communicated to a shift in how they evaluate gear.

“After 3 months I stopped caring about specs and gear reviews”. Now I focus more on my workflow instead”

 A Structured 4 Step Process. Not Random Content

 Step 1: “Behind The Glass” — The Book

The foundational 12-chapter essay exploring:

• How studios really work.

• Why certain gear myths persist.

• The psychology of sessions, signal flow, and decision-making.

• What separates functional studios from legendary ones.

This is not a tutorial. It’s a framework you’ll return to as your career evolves, delivered as a reference, not disposable content.

 Step 2: The Core Essays

Behind The Glass establishes the framework.
These twelve essays do the work of pressure testing it.

Each essay in this collection expands on a core principle introduced in the book. Not by repeating it, but by examining how it holds up in real-world conditions. Together, they form a structured progression: from how decisions are shaped, to why certain tools endure, to how experienced engineers reduce complexity rather than add to it.

This is not a series meant to be skimmed. Taken as a whole, these essays function as a reference point you’ll return to, not because the information changes, but because you will.

Read them in order, or revisit them as needed. Their value compounds with experience. Over time, they help replace guesswork with clarity, and habit with intention.

Step 3: The Decision First Engineering System

Research on professional judgment, workflow design, and decision-making in audio engineering.

Decision-First Engineering rejects the idea that better gear leads to better work.

Here, engineering is treated as a decision discipline—one rooted in commitment, restraint, and accountability. The emphasis is not on what tools are used, but when choices are made and why they’re owned.

Step 4: The FX Studio 2 Research Library

A peer-informed, practice-driven research archive dedicated to the study of professional decision making in audio engineering, hybrid studio systems, and AI-augmented creative work.

The FX Studio 2 Research Library exists to address a gap in modern audio education: the absence of formal study around professional judgment.

This membership gives you permanent access to a curated research library that would cost thousands to commission independently.

Who This Membership Is For

This membership is for you if:

•      You care why things work, not just how

•      Studio owners who’ve purchased enough gear and want better results

•      You want to build a studio — or career — on understanding, not hype

•      You value depth over immediacy

It may not be for you if:

•      You want quick tips and shortcuts

•      You prefer constant content over considered ideas

•      You’re looking for trends instead of principles

That’s intentional.

Issued Price: 299 USD · Domestic shipping included

That’s less than the cost of:

• A collection of plugins

• One 3 hour studio session

• One mistake made from bad assumptions

But the thinking lasts much longer. This is a long-term membership.

Content is not updated to chase attention. It’s updated when there’s something worth saying.

Members aren’t paying for frequency. They’re investing in clarity, context, and perspective — the things that quietly separate professionals from hobbyists over time.

If that resonates, welcome.

If not, no hard feelings, there’s plenty of content elsewhere.

Because this isn’t content, it’s a way of thinking.

To say “Thank you” for subscribing, members receive a small gift from G Sharp Jamz. Nothing flashy, but practical items every studio owner needs on a daily basis. A Decision Journal, and a glide surface, to enhance your workflow. Sorry. I DO NOT ship outside of the continental United States. (For now) You may still subscribe, but you won’t receive the journal or glide surface.
