Good morning ,

Today is our 5th wedding anniversary and our first day out of quarantine so we'll be spending the day in a different style of social isolation: driving the old Saab convertible through the Catalina mountains outside of Tucson.

We've actually been married for seven years, but that's a badly kept secret for another day...

Anyhoo, before we jump in the car Ferris Bueller-style, I wanted to remind you about our Drum Mix Toolkit and Expert Home Vocals promotion that ends at noon.

(I was tired of ending every promotion at midnight because it was past my bedtime...so you get some extra time to take action).

If you get Drum Mix Toolkit and Expert Home Vocals before noon today, you can take advantage of the payment plan, as well as these two exclusive bonuses:

Bonus #1 - Get Custom Drum and Vocal Mixing Tips on YOUR Tracks!

Send me your drum stems or vocal tracks for me to personally show you how I would mix them, using EQ, compression, effects, and parallel processing.

If you've ever wanted to get a specific sound from your drums or vocals but haven't been able to figure it out yourself, this is your chance to learn the exact techniques you need to mix two of the most important parts of your song.

We will have a live class during the week of April 13th - 17th and if you send in your stems before that I will give you custom mix advice tailored to how you want your drum mix and vocal productions to sound.

Even if you can't make the class, you can still submit your tracks ahead of time so that I can tackle them during the class.

Bonus #2 - Drum Recording in Small Spaces with Jeffrey Anthony

Jeffrey Anthony is an international recording and touring drummer who has performed and recorded with Sheryl Crow, The Portland Cello Project, Eric McFadden, Chuck Prophet, Casey Neil, and dozens more.

It's almost guaranteed that you've heard Jeffrey's drumming without knowing it. Jeffrey has recorded drums on hundreds of records, and since opening his remote drum recording studio in August of 2018 has recorded more than 140 remote sessions for artists on 6 continents.

Here's what the interview covers:

• His journey as a session drummer
• The walkthrough of his drum recording setup and how he records drums in his home
• How he makes his drums sound less "home-recorded"
• How his process is like working with an artist, both remotely and in the studio
• Tips on getting gigs through Soundbetter and Airgigs
• His story of how he got the gig of recording "Soak Up the Sun" with Sheryl Crow 

That's on TOP of the other six bonuses, valued at $166 that you'll get with the course bundle.

If you're still on the fence and don't know what my course bundle will give you, I made a special walkthrough of the members area so you can see exactly what you get

Just scroll down half the page here to watch the walkthrough.

Plus, there's also a before and after video from a student mix you can listen to, Peter Thompson of The Magic Es, remixed one of his songs, "Headrush," after learning the techniques inside the Drum Mix Toolkit. He made the entire kit sound punchier, more present and powerful after the remix.

That example is also available to watch on the course page here.

And finally, if you're not sure what other people have gotten out of Drum Mix Toolkit and Expert Home Vocals, here are a few testimonials from satisfied students:

"...this is an excellent course in one of the most important aspect of recording, getting the vocals right. I like how in this course Björgvin goes through the whole process of recording vocals without skipping a beat, so to speak. He does not just talk about mic technique and mixing, although he has plenty of excellent tips on these subjects. He also talks about the importance of pre-production and making sure that the vocalist is comfortable in the studio, and how things that some engineers might not think about, like the lights, or the quality of the headphone mix can affect the mood and therefore the vocal performance. Overall this is an excellent course in one of the most important aspect of recording, getting the vocals right." -Haukur Pálmason, Recording Engineer (Credits include symphony recordings for the TV show Vikings), Iceland

 

"I just realized that especially considering you have focused SO much time on recording/mixing/producing, that there's GOT to be some golden nuggets I'm gonna get from this class to really make my vocals more amazing. My only doubt was whether I would really learn something new. Well, in the email you sent out where you showed an example of your vocal bus, using the Stereo Spread plugin as a side-chain had never occurred to me! So that convinced me that, as usual, I don't know what I don't know, and for $100 I'm gonna get better. Actually, I already used that Stereo Spread on the side chain last night and I like the results better than having it on the main channel's bus (like I've always done before).” -Rebecca De La Torre, Musician/Engineer/Studio Owner, Phoenix, Arizona

 

"I've just finished reading the book and I 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. I think that the book is easy to read. 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.” -Louis Georgiou, Musician/Engineer

 

"Reading this guide from the perspective of wanting to learn some new things, a couple of ideas that you raised were new learning for me - the sections on gating I liked and learned something, and particularly the section on creating a gated reverb; also, the section on ducking the bass to the kick drum was a good read. I already know about ducking, but I got a lot out of your simple 6 steps - the process of setting up the bass to duck with the kick - was very clearly defined and well laid out." -Justin Leary

All of those students learned how to make powerful drums and professional vocals from my materials...training that I've distilled down to just the essential techniques you need to know that I've learned in the last fifteen years.

If you can relate to any of these satisfied students and want to get the same results as they got, get the Drum Mix Toolkit and Expert Home Vocals Production bundle right here before the payment plan and bonuses go away in four hours.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend,

Björgvin
