The workshops are just the beginning. Amplify 2026 includes three connected phases:

01

Workshop Daycamps

Experience high-intensity, 4-hour technical masterclasses led by industry professionals to break past learning barriers and unlock your mandatory "Homework Song" audition materials. This high-energy daycamp serves as the essential, wide-entry gateway to the rest of our 2026 creative pipeline.

02

Amplify Residency

Open strictly to audition finalists, this intensive 5-day camp guides collaborative student ensembles through turning personal life stories into arranged, recorded rough tracks. The schedule is uniquely split across two blocks with a built-in, one-week independent practice buffer to maximize lyric memorization and protect your creative energy.

03

Amplify Academy

Our 30-week flagship track pairs advanced creators with dedicated peer-mentors to master technical skills, individual mapping, and multi-disciplinary group production. The entire year culminates in an elite studio residency at world-class 25th Street Recording Studios in Oakland, a commercial album production, and a public community showcase.

Working with Corbin is an absolute privilege at every stage. His understanding and dedication to his craft are second to none, and I always look forward to receiving his mixes.

 

What really stands out, beyond the incredible quality of the audio, is his artist care and management—he is fast and efficient, yet every detail is considered. There is always a productive dialogue, resulting in excellent mixes to master from with a clear direction of sound.

 

If you are looking to receive great mixes and for an engineer who genuinely cares about your music, Corbin York is who you are looking for.

I came in with rough drafts and didn't always know how to express what I was aiming for, but Corbin helped clarify the process and made the project even better than I imagined.

 

Working with him was more than just a recording experience; it was a hugely impactful educational opportunity. Corbin acted as an incredible vocal coach, adding depth and dimension whenever I asked for input.

 

From the raw mixes to the final masters, the improvement in quality was obvious—everything sounded so professional, it truly felt like something I could hear on the radio. He brings a genuine excitement to every project that makes him fun to work with because you can tell he enjoys what he does.

I didn’t initially design my project to work with Corbin, but when the mixing and mastering fell short elsewhere, he jumped in and saved the day. With thoughtful articulation, he created a vision for what the song could be through the mix.

 

As an artist, I tended to have many notes, and Corbin made the revision process super easy and helpful; he happily and effectively took care of every change I requested. Hearing the final master was a massive relief—I was stoked, and so was everyone around me. Corbin is a tried-and-true professional who is intentional with his time, and that translates directly into his performance.

Before working with Corbin, I wasn't sure how to convey my intentions or how I wanted my songs to sound. Corbin has an exceptional gift for envisioning what a song can become and pulling from various inspirations to craft a complete sound.

 

Throughout the process, I loved receiving the Samply updates and voice memos—it made the back-and-forth fun and exciting. Having worked with other producers, Corbin is by far my favorite.

 

He has an incredible ear but still allowed me to have a direct say in the vibe and instrumentation. It was a true 'mission accomplished' feeling to see it across the finish line.

Before I started working with Corbin, my biggest challenge was getting the sounds in my head to actually come out in the real tracks. Corbin took my ideas and turned them into awesome interpretations.

 

The clarity within the different iterations and the back-and-forth communication were excellent. When I heard the final result, it was like night and day compared to the initial tracks. His mixing and editing are absolutely ON POINT—it’s been a delight to work with him and build quick rapport. You truly get beyond your money's worth.

Before working with Corbin, my biggest hesitation was finances, but the value he provided was first-class. We had worked with others for years who said nothing could be done to help with specific timing issues—Corbin proved them wrong in just 10 minutes.

 

He is incredibly detailed and organized, setting us up for success by tailoring the session workflow to our specific needs. Corbin is extremely musically gifted and very spirit-led; you can truly feel the Holy Spirit in what he does. We were incredibly happy with the final song and his patient, professional approach.
