Exciting update: New paid tier launch + free '30-Minute Mining' guide for all subscribers!
Gift for All Subscribers: 30-Minute Mining Guide. Thanks for Your Support!
To bring in the new year, I’ve given this Substack a massive revamp, rebranding it to “The Music Factory with Dave Johnston” to reflect the project's new scope and upcoming plans. At the same time, I’ve created a brand-new resource that I’m offering free to all my subscribers ($47 value), based on a concept I’ve touched on in a couple of previous articles called ‘30-Minute Mining’. It’s all about building creative habits to generate lots of new ideas quickly, hone your technical skills, and beat creative block.
Free gift for all subscribers
This is the first Music Factory guide I’ve put together - shout out if you enjoy it, and let me know how you get on!

NEW - Paid subscriber tier
I’ve also added a brand-new paid tier (get it now at the lowest price it’ll ever be) for subscribers who want to support what I’m doing with this project and pick up some extra perks:
🎛️ Mix/production feedback via email (2 credits per month, rollover up to 6 credits). Email me at dave@davejohnston.nz with a stereo file of the track you want feedback on.
👥 One-on-one creative consultation (Zoom) - I’ll meet with you in a 30-minute online session to discuss your creative goals and provide tips or advice depending on what you’re seeking. Email me at dave@davejohnston.nz to arrange a meeting and let me know what you’d like to discuss during our session!
Thanks for being a subscriber - whether you remain a free subscriber or upgrade, it’s great to have you on board!
