Learning to Mix

[RobRaede]

I've been using mixing engineers to handle those chores for most of my Taxi work, but sometimes they're booked up and there's a tight deadline, so I've been trying to do it myself with sort of ho-hum results. Anyone know of a good online mixing course?

Thanks Joe and Graham. You're right, there are loads of them, thus the inquiry to try to narrow it down some.

Hi Rob

Best way to learn is to do. With nowadays sources YT etc it has never been so easy to learn by doing. Mix as much as you possibly can and if you run into a problem or question look for the solution for that specific problem in YT or forums like this one. Do that for let‘s say 5 to 10 years and you will be delivering awesome mixes, promise! I think that’s the way that works best IMHO.

Good luck

The best resource I ever found is the book " Mixing Secrets For The Small Studio " by Mike Senior - Apart from a very systematic approach, it's also written for folks with studios like ours in our spare room and garages whereas other books I read seemed to assume I'd be working in a pro studio environment.

I recommend the Kindle format because it's easier to follow whilst at your DAW than a paper book. Hope that helps.

I've been a Soundfly subscriber for years, and can't recommend them enough. Great course content, and if you can afford it then you can add a mentor for feedback.
