Great course! Helped me understand mixing on a deeper level. Big Z explains things clearly, keeps the lessons engaging, and everything is organized really well.
Invaluable Guidance from the Alchemist of Sound
If you take your music quality seriously, you'll buy this course; if you don't, you'll continue to scratch around trying to get everything for free. 😉 The course organizes the mixing process in a way that couldn't be achieved any...
Highly Recommend!
This course took my mixing to the next level. I am so much happier with my sound and am so grateful for having this course. I especially appreciated how complex mixing concepts were broken down to much more understandable parts,...

From Amateur to Professional Sound
Big Z's mixing and mastering courses transformed how I approach production. His drum-first methodology gave me clarity I'd never achieved. Suddenly I could hear every element distinctly. His compression technique solved a recurring problem I'd had in every previous track:...
Still have questions?
No, this is an on demand course. You’ll be able to log into your account at any time and take the course at your own pace.
It’s over 389 minutes, broken down into 34 lessons.
If you invest just 30 minutes/day, you can finish in less than 2 weeks. If you spend 1 hour/day, you can finish in less than 1 week.
That’s no problem. I’ve designed the course so the overall concepts are the most important part. You’ll be able to take the ideas you learn and apply them to any DAW.
The system I teach to get a balanced, powerful mix applies to any genre.
I’ve spent the last 15 years mixing over 3,000 tracks for artists in all genres of music. My goal is to transfer everything I’ve learned to you, so you don’t have to mix thousands of tracks to get professional results.
I love YouTube, it’s where I first learned to make music. But it’s a bunch of one-off, scattered tutorials. YouTube videos have to please the algorithm by hooking people and fighting for retention. This course is none of that. It’s highly organized and goes into much more detail than I could on YouTube. It also includes hands-on assets (like stems and cheat sheets), along with community discussion areas to help you become a better mixer.
