Quick Mixing
If you want to learn how to quickly take your home studio recordings from amateur demos to quality productions fast and efficiently, then you're going to love my package of Quick Mixing, Mastering, and Editing.
In Quick Mixing I take a song from a raw recording to a finished mix in two hours, stopping every five minutes to tell you what I'm doing so you can follow along.
You'll learn techniques such as:
- How to subtly gate kick drums to get rid of bleed
- How to use EQ to compensate for any frequency loss from compression
- How to use a sub-bass plug-in to add warmth, thickness, and tightness to your low-end
- Adding a woody snap to your snare that thickens up your drum sound
- How to get rid of unnecessary high-end that makes your snare sound "brittle"
- Knowing when to take it easy on the compression when the song needs to breathe
- How to use amp simulators and parallel processing to breathe life into your bass and guitars (while also making your mixes sound wider)
- How to use tape delay and EQ to create a 3-dimensional sound that doesn't add too much space to the up-front instruments
- How and when to have fun with compression to level out a guitar-solo and using a side-chain to get the guitar out of the way of the vocal
- How to use my absolute favorite reverb trick, the "3-Verb" blend to create natural space and depth in all your instruments where they all have a separate spot in the mix but they all sound like they're playing together in the same room
- Why you make most of your hard-thinking mixing choices with only EQ and compression. The rest is just a bunch of fun
- How to use parallel kick processing to add punch to the low-end
- How to quickly decide which compression model is best for your mix
- Using parallel distortion to add that tiny edge to your guitar solos
Quick Mastering
In Quick Mastering, I take the finished mix from the Quick Mixing video and master it to make it loud, punchy, and radio-ready.
You'll learn:
- The Quick Mastering 4 plug-in chain that works on any great sounding mix
- How to use a reference to get your master sounding like a professional record
- Using multi-band compression to glue the mix together without squashing it
- Using subtle linear phase EQ to make slight tweaks that make all the difference to your overall frequency balance
- What you should look for in your stock metering plug-ins when you're mastering
Quick Editing and Comping
In the editing and comping video, you'll learn the importance of making your tracks ready for mixing by tweaking and editing the multi-tracks to enhance the performance of the song.
- How to really focus on hearing the changes in the emotion of the singer
- This one decision you make in the recording process to make your comping faster
- How to quickly edit your drums and bass together to both conserve the groove while keeping the time
- Why focusing on the most consistent instrument to edit to is your best bet instead of pulling everything to the click
- How to speed up the editing process by NOT listening to the whole take?
- The simple Logic grouping trick to make sure all the correct tracks get comped and edited together
- Why being an OCD vocal comping maniac is best for the song
- How to make sure you don't comp away the best part of each instrument
- And why you should let your drummer drum around the click to keep the music human
Also, I just cut the price of the Mixing With 5 Plug-ins video course and now you can get it at 50% of the previous price.
I'm not sure how long I'll keep the price that low, and I'll definitely take the Quick Mixing package away after the weekend is over, so now's your chance to get a whole lot of training for a steal.

P.S.
If you've ever thought your songs sound two-dimensional but you need them to sound more polished and professional; if you want to learn from somebody else’s fast mixing techniques while they explain their methods or if you just need a complete look at somebody’s session from A to Z to help you understand how you can improve your productions, then Quick Mixing is for you.
Get it for free this weekend!
Have a great rest of your day,
