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

Last but not least, I wanted to share the story of my buddy Karmin if you haven't heard it before.

Karmin P is an Insider and I've been helping him out for a while as a part of that community.

I'm very grateful he thought my previous material and courses were good enough for him to come back and trust me to help him produce better vocals.

As he says himself,

“I have been involved in music making and recording for decades. I self-produced a CD titled "Approaching Zero" in 2011. Then it took me until 2017 to release my 2nd CD called "About Time."

I felt pretty good in general about these recordings, but I noticed that there was some inconsistency in the sound of the vocals. Fine tuning the EQ seems to be a little elusive to me at times. I feel like I understand the concepts mostly, but have been a little out of practice since I don't work with it every day as my regular job.

I've stayed on your mailing list and I appreciate all the little tips and tricks you've thrown out over the years...I've felt a little insecure with my vocals at times and don't consider them my best skill. I have gotten better with some coaching, but it doesn't always feel natural. When I saw your email about this Expert Home Vocals , it piqued my interest.

I see much room for improvement and the idea of keeping it simple really appeals to me. Things like how to get a singer to perform their best in the studio as well as how to make the vocals really sound professional in the mix are some of the things that made me want to join.

Karmin was hoping to get a good grasp on recording vocals (mostly his own), and when I asked about his biggest aha moments while going through Expert Home Vocals, this is what he said:

“Working with lyrics to fit the rhythm. Often I'll try to sing what I've written in different rhythms to complement what's happening in the music, but that is a great idea to choose different words or cut words out that are not necessary to get the point across and hence change the rhythm and perhaps make it easier to fit. Great tip.

Also, the tips about making the singer more comfortable, inspired and or energetic just by the ambiance feel of the room and lighting. Love that! Editing doubles and harmonies to get the rhythm of the words to line up. I've done a little of that but it's encouraging to see someone do it with elastic audio and make it look easy and accessible. Getting a good mixing template together was a good reminder. Just to have everything you might need and often use already loaded - big time saver.

EQing back up vocals to get them less present and competing with the lead by dipping in the 900 to 3k range. Nice! Also using subtle amounts of reverb as well as saturation as a thickener as opposed to a space maker. And using compression, saturation, reverb and even compressing or delaying reverb as a parallel enhancer. Very cool! And I love that idea to spread the lead vocal a bit left and right and put the harmony part in the center. Never thought of that.

And in general the multiple uses of compression like before going into a delay or reverb even if it's already been compressed on the way in and on the vocal channel itself. I know one could easily overdo it, but this encourages smaller amounts more frequently to make it less obvious. These are great tips. I will re-read the material to see what else pops out. Thank you for putting all this together.

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

Enjoy the rest of your week,

Björgvin
