As far as gender equality and feminism goes, Iceland is pretty much #1.

First female president, Vigdís Finnbogadóttir (who I'm supposedly related to but can't remember how).

Here she is with Reagan

First lesbian Prime Minister, Jóhanna Sigurðardóttir.

Here she is being a bad-ass, probably listening to somebody translate something from French.

And of course, from this explosion of gender equality, out glides our elven queen, Madame Björk of Iceland.

With a swan.​​​​​​​

"Hello. I am Björk. This is my swan, Svanur. It's Icelandic for Swan. He's sleeping now."

Thinking about gender equality made me, unsurprisingly, think of EQ.

Gender equality (and diversity for that matter) brings a broader, more complete perspective on every issue, just like a mix needs a balance of all frequencies.

If you want your mix to sound complete, full in the low-end, powerful in the mids, and brilliant in the highs, you need the right frequency balance across all the instruments in your mix.

And there's no better way to learn how to do that, than with EQ Strategies - Your Ultimate Guide to EQ.

Igor, one of my students, had bought my Step By Step Mixing book and was looking for something even more in-depth on EQ so he purchased EQ Strategies.

As he says himself:

"I’ve purchased your book about step by step mixing with only five plugins. This book helped me a lot! My mixes became much better since I read it. And I’ve found out that this step-by-step method makes mixing more easy and productive - the last song I’ve mixed in 5 hours! So, now I feel like I found right source of information about mixing and I want to go up to the next level of my mixing skills. And I’ve decided to start with the main tool of mixing - EQ. I can use this processor but I want to understand them much deeper."

If you can relate to Igor's story and want to level up your mixing skills by becoming a master of EQ, grab EQ Strategies - Your Ultimate Guide to EQ right here:
