🤘🏼EXPAND DESCRIPTION for more INFO🤘🏼
Back in the day, the traditional career path to becoming a mixing engineer began first as an intern at a pro studio.
After spending time cleaning toilets and doing food runs you may be allowed to sit in the room during a session.
Eventually, you may be trusted to handle the gear and set up for sessions.
If you could handle setup correctly, you could see yourself moving into an assistant engineering role (don't be fooled, you'd still be cleaning and handling food runs).
After months or even years as an assistant, you could eventually be called upon to run Pro Tools for smaller sessions.
Editing... Recording... Sitting in and learning from those who put the time in and gained experience before you...
If your mentor was cool, they may have even given you time during off hours to pull up old tracks and practice mixing. Maybe.
And then... MAYBE, one day you could find yourself behind the console handling the mixing process.
Fast forward to today and anyone can purchase a DAW online, download some multitracks, and dive into a mix.
This is great on one hand...
But the years of experience and lack of mentorship are plaguing an entire generation of aspiring mixers.
This is why I'm so passionate about my work here at The Mix Academy.
I want to help you make the best music possible but with the lack of quality recordings in today's music industry, us mixers need all the help we can get! Haha
Free Mixing Course (limited time and limited number of seats) 👉🏼 academy.themix...
To assist you on your journey to professional mixes, I've created a BRAND-NEW mixing course where I take on an entire mix from start to finish.
And I won't ask you to clean any toilets in order to watch it. ;)
We'll be covering the ENTIRE mixing process to help you not only see the decision-making process unfold but I'm going to share tons of my best mixing tips and tricks to help you deliver label-worthy radio-ready mixes.
I've packed a TON of value into an entire online course worth of material where you'll learn how to:
Streamline your workflow to mix with purpose and deliver final mixes faster
Learn how to mix the low end to fit the song
Learn to stop overthinking gain staging and create a simple process to replicate on every mix
Deliver a competitive mix regardless of your gear and/or room treatment (or lack thereof)
Confidently bounce mixes that translate and wow listeners
I'm not charging you to attend. The training is 100% free.
But... registration is only open for a limited time!
Again, this entire course is completely free to attend. I look forward to seeing you on the inside!
-David
P.S. Can't make it for the full training? I've created an incredible value-packed offer called the Behind The Glass | Mixing Gospel All Access Bundle. It'll put the multitracks, session templates, custom drum samples, and more into your hands. 👉🏼 academy.themix...

Whats "free" about it? Its making me pay for the course. Thats NOT "free"

[@TheMixAcademy]

@@romodrummer I’m sorry for the confusion. The course is absolutely free. You should’ve received an email with a link so that when it goes live on Thursday you can get right in. The offer is optional and puts the multitracks, the mix breakdown videos, and more into your hands but again… The start to finish course is completely free. 🙏🏻

@@TheMixAcademy you already know, you are you are my mr miyagi

[@cristianibarraOfficial]

@@TheMixAcademy Hi David, I need your help, how can I reach you out? Through the TMA web page?

[@alexandrecapelier]

Great video as always! The backdoor send for the kick you refer to, is it the rearbus technique? I used it but normally it's everything but the drum kit that is send 🤔 So you set the rearbus as usual and send a bit of the kick in it for some extra punch?

[@TheMixAcademy]

Thanks, man! It's actually not the rear bus technique like Scheps uses. It's just a clean copy of the kick that helps bail me out when I let things get out of hand loudness wise.

[@alexandrecapelier]

Thanks! you're really helpful, you way to explain your choices in context is great 👍

Thanks for asking! I include them with most of my courses.

[@67Transalp]

Great!!

[@studio.kaedinger]

Useful

[@lupsulapr]

Muchas veces sucede eso, tienes una mezcla en la que los drums no ayudan a llevar esa energía de la canción, y aveces es bueno buscar opciones diferente al diferentes sonidos.

[@molecola68]

interesting!

[@Alan.Musical.Freak.Show.]

interesting!
