Is your SONG ready, or just close?
The Demo Audit is an honest, professional review of your song, with a clear plan for turning it into a record you’re proud to release.
For independent artists in pop, rock and alternative. Reviewed personally by Mike Sorrentino.
FROM DEMO TO MASTER
Hear the transformation. Switch between the original demo and the final master to compare the difference after arrangement, recording, production, mixing and mastering. Got a demo of your own? Send it over and let’s talk about what it could become.
THE PROBLEM
You’ve written the song. You’ve recorded something. It’s got a spark, and you know it.
But it doesn’t sound like the records you love, and you can’t tell why. Is it the arrangement? The vocal? The mix? The song itself? Every producer gives a different answer, and most of them are selling you something.
Before you spend money on production, you need someone to tell you the truth about where your song stands and what it needs.

What is the Demo Audit?
The Demo Audit is a focused review of one of your songs by a producer with 20+ years in music. I listen closely, assess what’s working and what isn’t, and give you a written roadmap you can act on, whether you work with me or not.
No pitch dressed up as feedback. Just a clear picture of your song and the next steps.
What you get
Song and structure. Melody, lyrics, hook and form. Where the song lands and where it loses people.
Arrangement. What’s missing, what’s crowding the mix, and what each section needs to carry the song.
Performance and recording quality. Vocal and instrument takes, and what’s worth keeping, redoing or replacing.
Sound and mix readiness. How the demo translates, and what stands between it and a professional release.
Your roadmap. A prioritised plan with the steps in the right order, so you spend time and budget where it counts.
All of this packaged in a 5-minute video you can watch on your mobile.
How it works
1. Send your demo. Book your audit and upload your song, along with a few lines about your goals and the artists who inspire you.
2. I listen and assess. I go through your track in detail, with your goals in mind and the standards of the genre you’re aiming at.
3. You get your roadmap. Within 2 working days you receive your audit and your next steps, with a call to talk it through.
Who it’s for
This is for you if:
You’re an independent artist with a song you believe in
You want honest feedback, not flattery
You’re deciding how to invest in your next release
You’d rather know exactly what to fix than guess
It’s probably not for you if you’re looking for quick praise, or you aren’t open to hearing what needs to change.
Why Mike
I’ve spent over twenty years in music, including a decade performing in a band before moving into production. Today I work as a producer, audio engineer and artist development coach, helping independent artists turn a creative vision into a release that’s ready for the world.
I know what a song needs because I’ve been on both sides of the glass. I have clients worldwide rating that experience five stars on Google, and landing sync and airplay opportunities after working with me.
