Record Production | Engineering
Do you have songs and have always dreamed of releasing your own single, e.p., or album? If so, I can help! I help artists and bands realize their budgets, book studios, schedule world-class musicians (if required), engineer their project, assist with song arrangement (if required), complete the post-production process, get cd's manufactured (if required), and assist in digital distribution. Need a more specialized approach? I can help you with that as well! In addition to record production and engineering, I also offer voice-over services in national and local broadcast markets for corporations and labels.

Welcome!
My name is Rob Coates. I am a mix engineer, mastering engineer and record producer. In addition, I am an adjunct professor at Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee. I have had the unique opportunity to work in the music industry within a full-time capacity for over 23 years. My goal is to help clients succeed with their goals, aspirations, and dreams. Regardless if its an album or single that you need mixed, an album mastered, or a fully produced record, I am here to help you! This is your opportunity to succeed on your latest project and it is my job to help you arrive there.
Why choose me for your project? I take the time to listen and care for what you have to say. There is no place for ego, pride, or dictatorship in the studio. I am here for YOU and am a "Team" player.

My job is to help you be the very best you can be at any given time and moment. I encourage you to do it the right way. If you don't believe in yourself enough to do your project the right way, and stand out among the crowd, then why should others believe in you and your project?

In addition to working in the music industry, I am a husband, father, and baseball coach. In my spare time I take great joy in hobbies such as coaching little league baseball, playing various musical instruments, reading, learning and teaching.
