However, it's one thing to follow the occasional tip you get from my emails. They might help you in a pinch. But the real breakthrough comes from following a fool-proof, step by step mixing system that helps you transform your rough recordings into finished records.
That's what the students of the Mixing With 5 Plug-ins course have done, with the following results:
"Mix is up - and this one was really a lot of fun. After rewatching parts of the video, I decided to take a simpler approach to avoid automation - just to see how it worked. I think the results sound huge. Overall, I mostly used the EMT Plate by UA; however, I did add a TAL Smooth Plate on the lead vox, and a beat-synced delay (Metric Halo Dirty Delay) timed to 1/64 on the left, and 1/8 on
the right, with some added drive for more gain. Seemed to thicken up. Hope you like it." -Howard Rabach
"I learned to simplify; up until now, when I would organize and setup a session in my DAW, I would create FX busses for every individual track, and separate sub-mixes for each group on top of the busses. With this, I kept it simple, and followed the pattern from the video - combining more instruments to fewer busses in total. I think I still ended up with one or two more than the video, but that's a vast
difference for me!" -Robert Rubino
"Impressed by your fluent equalizations and how you tackle those jumping out loud frequencies. I've often read about setting levels in context rather than in solo but never really got it. In this respect, I found this quite ear-opening." -Laurent K
"Having fun with this! I tend to make things complicated quickly, so I appreciate being forced to keep it simple. Thanks!" -Mike Lingle
"Thank you for all of your tips and techniques you share in giving the bass drum and bass guitar their own space in the audio spectrum. Thank you for sharing your experience to improve my work :)" -Pedro Guzman
"Overall, I really enjoyed the course. I think for me the most valuable thing was seeing your screen and watching your thought process visually. I have read mixing textbooks in the past and the information is simply too dense to be all that useful. In particular, the "Mixing with no plug-ins" video was extremely helpful. I realized that many of my major mixing
woes were caused by poor organization and skipping over fundamentals. I've been mixing for a while as a hobby and in that time have picked up many bad habits, and this course definitely helped me re-learn the habits that make for better mixes. I really enjoyed the course. I personally didn't really want to use the song that you were mixing and instead opted for applying the techniques I learned from the videos to my own mix. I would certainly
recommend this course to anyone who is starting out on their mixing journey as well as folks like me who have been mixing for a while but haven't learned good fundamentals. Thanks so much for doing what you do, Björgvin!" -Wyn Evans
My favorite part of this last testimonial is the fact that he used the techniques I taught him for his own mixes, bypassing the song I used in the course entirely.
That's how powerful these techniques are.
Once you know how to use these five processors you'll be able to transform any of your songs, not just the ones I'm showing you on the screen.
When I ask new subscribers what they struggle with they always mention EQ, compression, reverb, delay and saturation as the thing they struggle with the most.
Those are the most important plug-ins to master to get excellent sounding mixes, so I thought: what better way to teach mixing than using the most commonly used plug-ins available to anyone.

Here's what another student had to say about the course:
"I learned a lot from [the] mixing without plug-ins part. Making groups and dealing only with the volume knobs was nice preparation before the mix. The EQ part was very good because I learned some techniques on how to deal with "bad" frequencies." -Piotr Kaminski
