The longer you've been around, the more likely you are to stick around.

 

I've been teaching audio production skills to 50,000+ students for the last ten years, and the reason why I'm still around is simple:

 

My methods work. My students get results. They learn to mix professional music and they release their records.

 

That's what's most important here.

 

Knowing that my students get results makes me bullet-proof against internet trolls and asshole audio engineers who think they're better than everyone else, even though they get no gigs and their studio is consistently empty.

 

If I was just selling snake oil and trying to make a buck off some unsuspecting musician, the free market would've gotten rid of me a long time.

 

I've received a lot of thank you emails from satisfied students sharing their music with me and telling me how much my training has helped them become more confident with their mixes.

 

And my favorite part is when my students pay it forward and tell others about my training. That's high praise right there.

 

If other people speak fondly of you to other people, you know you're doing something right.

 

Here's what David had to say about the Birthday Bundle:

 

So today, before I take away the Audio Issues Ultimate Birthday Bundle tomorrow, I wanted to share some testimonials from happy students that have taken the courses you get as a part of the bundle.

Mix Finisher Formula

John Owings is a Mix Finisher Formula student and a private 1-on-1 coaching client of mine, and here's what he had to say about going through the Mix Finisher Formula:

 

"I felt like I had a basic knowledge of recording and mixing. The issue I had was putting it all together and figuring out a way to get a song finished (or knowing when a song is finished) and ready to be mastered and released. I learned a lot about EQ and compression but the biggest takeaway was learning a rock-solid workflow that keeps me mixing and creating instead of losing valuable time sifting through hours of articles and videos. Now when I start a new project, I have more confidence and feel better about my mixes. This course was great and the support was outstanding. I have purchased similar courses before and I have never received this kind of one on one attention from the others. The course worked well for me and it was presented in a way that never felt like information overload. If you are looking for a straight forward mixing course that teaches you advanced techniques that you can actually understand and use to improve your mixes, then this is for you."

Master Your Mixes

Chris McConville is a great musician from the U.K. who enrolled in Master Your Mixes.

 

Here's what he had to say.

 

"Hey Bjorgvin, I have really enjoyed the mastering course! It has given me a grounding in this field and a great guide to help build confidence at mastering my music. I still have a few bonus videos to watch and will go through it all again a few times. It was fun to see the walk through of Fire! I hope to share my mastering progress soon. Many thanks! Chris."

 

Fun fact: I mixed and mastered his song "Fire" a while back and this is what he had to say about my approach to his track there:

 

"Wow! It’s done and dusted! What can I say, it's an absolutely fantastic mix/master. It's a dream come true to get this song sounding so good. It's perfect! It has a great balance and you can hear everything. I think you have done a fantastic job. I can hear that you have implemented all the aspects that you talk about and teach thru Audio Issues. It sounds amazing and really consistent on a number of different speakers. The mix is a nice celebration of the guitars and the song and vocals come to the fore which is the main objective and it is a joy to hear with your mix."

 

You can find the multi-tracks, mastered reference mix and in-depth mix walkthrough of "Fire" inside the Mix Walkthrough Vault that's also included in the Ultimate Birthday Bundle.

EQ Strategies - Your Ultimate Guide to EQ

There are too many testimonials from EQ Strategies so I'm just going to pick a couple to share with you here, otherwise you'd be stuck in your inbox all day!

 

"An immediate and hugely practical understanding of the frequency spectrum and fantastic examples of positive and negative aspects of the key audio frequency bands as related to achieving better mixes. A superbly comprehensive and humorously written book by someone with lots of practical experience, that beats many video tutorials on this subject. Plus you can have a comprehensively indexed pdf to hand for quick referencing while mixing without needing to fire up a video tutorial and scrub through the timeline hoping to find what you're looking for! I was a beta reader for the eBook and I liked the content so much I bought the full course!" -Alan Doyle, Recording Engineer, Sound Designer, and Score Developer

 

"The EQ Course was eye-opening in many ways. Having had basically no previous information on mixing, the course really gave me a sense of how essential EQ'ing is to the process. It helped me take my mixes from muddy and boomy to fairly clear, and definitely helped me get some punch into kicks and basses. Some really basic things that I hadn't even considered, which really changed the way I approach music: like EQ'ing the reverb and delay effects themselves to avoid conflicts on different frequencies...it does an effective job of squeezing much information into little time, and the formulations are clear and pedagogical. The amount of useful information I gained from the course was impressive and I am extremely grateful for having been given these gems!" - Maximillian, Home Studio Producer

Drum Mix Toolkit and Expert Home Vocals

Louis, Jonathan and Pat picked up some great knowledge to improve their productions inside the Drum Mix Toolkit and Expert Home Vocals Production Bundle:

 

"found a lot of tricks and tips for mixing drums. I also realised that I had totally misunderstood what compression ratio is. Now everything is clear. You did a serious and really good work...it helped me understand the way of thinking when mixing drums. And I think that was the most important. Every detail was helpful because I had previous knowledge for mixing drums but I was missing some important information on EQ and Compression which is now clearer. Transient Designers rock!!! I honestly can’t find something that I did not like. From the book and the way the content is presented in clear chapters to the incredible videos. Everything was great. Really good value for money.”

 

"Drum Mix Toolkit is a fantastic resource. Not only is it a well-written book full of tips, tricks, and workflow methods that you can implement today, but to me, the best part is that it also contains video examples by Bjorgvin himself so you can actually hear the techniques in action! It's one thing to read about audio, but it's another to see exactly how to use these techniques in a real session, and more importantly, to hear the differences made through the process. To top it off, Bjorgvin has provided the practice tracks he used in the videos for free as well! Absolutely fantastic and highly recommended! What I've learned in this package will be used on my bands/brothers' drum tracks for years to come!" 

 

"A great, well-rounded source of information of dealing with vocals from start to finish. I’m mainly schooled in the “analog years” and still working through the digital age. In everyone’s case, there is always something else to learn or grasp. [Expert Home Vocals] added clearer information on gain staging, especially when using plug-ins, added more information on signal processing and in general added more explanations of possibilities to use plug-ins in different situations, such as recording group vocals, harmonies, and micing...What surprised me most was the amount of precise information included, as well as very helpful examples of using what is explained. Björgvin does an excellent job of explaining concepts and uses “real world” situations to convey concepts. A well-thought-out and planned resource!"

Step By Step Mixing System

With over 500+ 5-star ratings on Amazon, there's no doubt that my Step By Step Mixing book has exceeded all of my expectations. I never realized how much value people would get out of it, but I am happy nonetheless to share some of these happy testimonials with you, from both amateur and pros alike.

The Ultimate Birthday Bundle Goes Away Tomorrow

I could keep going but I think you've got the point that if you are looking for premium, in-depth training to help you take your music from amateur to pro, the Ultimate Birthday Bundle is your best bet to get there.

 

You gotta hurry though as this discounted bundle will go away TOMORROW and you'll have to wait at least a year to see it again, and even then I can't promise you that it will have all the same training or be offered at the same price.
