Have you ever wondered what a pro really does while mixing a song?

Hey this is Jon and I welcome you to my first training course that gives you an over the shoulder look at one of my mixing sessions. Over the course of a few hours I take you through the process of importing and organizing files, creating a rough mix, processing, automation and finally quick mastering.

Sitting in on a mixing session is not something every home studio musician has the opportunity to do. I aimed to give the experience of sitting with me through a mix, sharing tips as I go and all for less cost than an hour of studio time.

Check out the introduction to the course in this video

There’s something I need to stress about this video series. It is not a step by step, how-to-mix tutorial for beginners. Because that’s not how I approach mixing… if you want the experience of having a mixing engineer explain his thought process to you as he’s mixing, this might be something you’d like.

Before you get into this course you should already have a good understanding of using EQ, single and multiband compressors, delay, reverb and other effect processors.

Here’s what you’ll learn from this course:

• Equalizer techniques that get results fast
• Compression starting points to get the mix under control
• Gain staging strategies to avoid overloading the master
• How to organize a complex project with over 60 tracks
• Mix bus processing for control and enhancing
• Using saturation plugins to add excitement
• Technical and creative automation ideas that make every part of the mix special
• How to quickly master a mix and make it sound finished

Fredrik KällbergI just watched part 4 for the second time and you have completely changed how I will approach the automation of a mix, this is going to be such a big improvement in my workflow […] I’m so glad I bought this.
