Got a question about mixing? Because I give a FAQ!

Published: Thu, 02/04/21

One day I sat down to write about what I was learning in audio school.

That day was 11 years ago.

Since then I've helped thousands of students who were in my shoes back in the day learn how to understand the technical parts of music production.

I've written 8 books and created countless music production training for hundreds of thousands of home studio musicians and bedroom producers since 2009.

The most comprehensive training, which includes everything I know about mixing, is what you'll find inside Mix Finisher Formula.

Some people are looking to learn the audio arts themselves because they don't want to pay for an expensive engineer.

And some people want to learn how to make great music because they want to be that engineer or producer that helps other musicians make great music.

And since 2009, I've been around, helping everyone out by sharing my knowledge and paying forward everything I've learned.

From my start as a live sound engineer.

My regular gigs as a broadcast recording engineer.

And my work in the home studio, working with both local bands and international artists all over the world.

That's the beauty of having an online platform. You get to work with all sorts of different people from all walks of life.

So it comes as no surprise that I care about helping you succeed with your mixes.

I didn't keep Audio Issues running for over ten years because I didn't care about my students' results.

In fact, your success is one of the main things I pride myself on.

I recently talked about how you don't need to fall down the rabbit hole of "one more plug-in" to make better mixes.

You already got everything you need in your DAW.

This got the attention of Scott, who asked about my credentials on Facebook.

Here's what I said:

Scott liked my answer so much that he later enrolled as a Mix Finisher Formula student!

And because I REALLY GIVE A FAQ about your mixes, you may be asking yourself similar questions about Mix Finisher Formula, like...

Do I Need Specific Plug-ins or a Specific DAW?

Not at all. You can use any plug-ins you have available. I use a combination of a few plug-ins which you probably have similar versions of so you can use whatever you have access to in your DAW to get great results in this course.

I teach the method and the process, not how to use a particular plug-in so you'll get everything you need to know to get great mixes, regardless of what plug-ins you have.

How much time does MFF take?

The Mix Finisher Formula is a 6-module course that takes about six weeks to complete although you get access to everything as soon as you start. If you want to do it on the regular weekly schedule, you'll also get a weekly reminder to check out each module to help you stay on track.

Instead of long, hour-long lessons, I've broken each module down into multiple shorter videos so you can easily consume a little bit at a time, whenever you have time to spare. Whether you have 5 minutes, 50 minutes or 5 hours you'll be able to learn everything you need to know in order to make your mixes radio-ready and professional.

Once you join you will also have lifetime access so you can take the course whenever you have time.

But I don't have a fancy studio...?

Actually, that’s a good thing because I am teaching you everything I’ve learned from mixing music in my home studio so that you can do the same in yours, even if you don’t have fancy acoustic treatment or a professionally tuned room!

And if you're looking to improve your monitoring or start investing in budget acoustic treatment, you'll also get my bonus Masterclass: How to REALLY Hear What Your Monitors are Saying that teaches you how to get started improving your studio and monitoring.

Is this for beginners or advanced engineers?

This is for anyone who wants to learn everything they need to know about mixing music to make it professional and radio-ready. If you're unhappy with how your mixes sound and want to add that final 10% to your skillset to make them sound like professional records, Mix Finisher Formula is for you. If you're a beginner, you'll learn everything you need to know. If you're already familiar with mixing, this will give you even more tips, tricks and techniques to try out to improve your sounds.

"But music is just a hobby to me, why should I care about mixing?"

A hobby is something you’re passionate about. An "amateur" musician is a lover of making music. If you want to be proud of the music you make in your free time as a hobby, you should know how to do it properly. Learning to mix is a crucial part to make your songs sound like the records you hear on the radio. If you want people to actually listen to your music it needs to sound professional.

I only do [insert random music genre here]. Will this help me?

You can use the methods inside Mix Finisher Formula on any genre of music. My students work in every style of music, from rock, country and folk to EDM, hip-hop and pop. Mix Finisher Formula teaches you all the methods you need to apply to make your music sound better, and you'll also get real-world mix walkthroughs of folk, pop, rock, Bossanova, and country blues. In addition, I show you tips and techniques using R'n'B, hard rock and metal throughout the course.

At the end of this course, you'll have all the knowledge you need to create professional mixes, no matter what genre you're working in.

I don't have any songs to mix. How will this help?

Not to worry, in the Mix Walkthrough Vault, you'll get access to five multi-tracks you can use throughout the course to practice. Whether you're looking to become a mixing engineer or just want to learn how to take your mixes to the next level, Mix Finisher Formula will get you there.

What if I put all this effort in and my music still sucks?

This course includes all the information I've learned from 15+ years of mixing music and teaching audio production. I guarantee that it will teach you all the secrets you need to know in order to get professionally produced, powerful mixes.

You also have the ability to ask follow-up questions inside the course area if there's anything that's still unclear after taking the course. I will be updating the course with new content based on your questions and comments.

That said, if you don't think Mix Finisher Formula taught you anything and you just didn't like the course at all for any reason, simply email me and I'll refund your entire order. If you're not happy, I'm not happy.

Can't I just learn this on Youtube?

You can certainly search for videos teaching you tips and tricks, but no video will tie everything together like this to show you how to transform your recordings into great mixes. Instead, you'll end up wading through poorly explained techniques and watching a bunch of ads. In addition to the videos, I also make sure to support my students as much as possible. That's why I'm there for any questions they may have as they work through the course. I listen to their mixes at the beginning so I know where they're coming from, and then I gauge their improvement if they submit a mix at the end. I care about my students' results, and that's not something you can expect from a Youtube video.

I also offer practice multi-tracks if they don't have a song to work on (in multiple genres), and I also have mastered reference mixes they can compare their mixes to make sure they are improving.

So it's a little more than random Youtube videos as they are curated so you know exactly what to learn next, in order, without feeling overwhelmed.

Basically, Mix Finisher Formula is like your own private Youtube with videos that teach you how to mix from A - Z, in order, answering all of your questions...with no ads!

How is the course delivered?

As soon as you sign up you'll get access to Mix Finisher Formula members area that you can access from your computer or your smartphone. You can stream the high-quality videos through our membership software.

Results: You’ll be a master mixing engineer in six weeks, learning from my 15 years of experience in the industry, and you’ll be able to crank out professional quality, radio-ready records from your home studio with ease.
