Copy This Step By Step Mixing System To Quickly Finish Pro Sounding Mixes

(Even if You Don't Have a Pro Studio)

Apply This Proven ‘Release-Ready Mix Shortcut’ and Join Thousands Of Musicians and Producers Making Pro Mixes Using Just 5 Plug-ins: EQ, Compression, Reverb, Delay, and Saturation.

Whether you're a beginner or a frustrated bedroom producer, this system will walk you step-by-step through the only tools you actually need to finish a professional mix—without the overwhelm, second-guessing, or plug-in overload.

You Don’t Need More Plug-ins.

You Need a Path.

You didn’t start making music just to stare at waveforms and wonder why everything sounds like it’s stuck under a wet blanket.

But here you are.

Your mixes feel muddy.
Your tracks sound lifeless.
Your beat doesn't punch. It politely taps.

You chase pro-level polish...but your mixes still sound like demos.

You’ve downloaded a mountain of plug-ins, hoping this one will be the magic bullet. But each new tool just adds another layer of confusion. Instead of making music, you’re spending hours auditioning presets, watching tutorials, and fighting your mix like it’s your nemesis in a video game boss battle.

You follow advice like “trust your ears,” but what if your ears aren’t trained yet?

What if the real problem isn’t your gear or your talent. It’s the fact that nobody’s given you a clear path to follow?

Most home studio musicians hit this wall. They know what they want their mix to sound like—but have no idea how to actually get there. So they jump between plug-ins, copy random settings from YouTube, and end up with a track that’s technically “done” but emotionally unsatisfying.

Even worse, that mix fatigue kills your momentum. You doubt your skills. You stop finishing songs. You wonder if you’re even cut out for this.

But here’s the thing…

You don’t need to be a pro engineer with a million-dollar studio.
You don’t need 100 plug-ins and 10,000 hours of tutorials.
You just need a process that works—one you can trust, repeat, and build on.

Because once you have a system, you stop second-guessing.

You start creating.

What if instead of grabbing random plug-ins and hoping for the best, you had a proven, repeatable framework for getting from rough demo to release-ready mix?

The Step By Step Mixing System IS That Process

Two Paths: One POWERFUL System

Part 1: Your Mixing Roadmap

Your complete, step-by-step guide to mixing a song from beginning to end using just 5 plug-ins: EQ, compression, reverb, delay, and saturation.

What you’ll learn:

How to organize your session for clarity and speed
What to do first, next, and last on every mix
When and why to use each processor (not just how)
How to mix with intention and stop second-guessing

This is your mixing blueprint—perfect for beginners or anyone tired of random tactics.

Part 2: The Plug-in Deep Dive Library

A complete breakdown of how to master EQ, compression, reverb, delay, and saturation, pulled from real-world pro workflows, not just perfect stems from Grammy-winnings songs.

What you’ll learn:

The functions and best uses of each processor
How to dial in the right settings for each instrument
Parallel processing, mix bus techniques, and more
How to mix faster using plugin-specific strategies

Perfect for intermediate users who want deeper skills and faster results.

"It was so helpful to walk through a mix in real time. I learned something new in every session and learnt about specific plugins to put on the mix bus/other buses and their settings, which has really helped the overall sound of all my mixes. The course helped me to see where I need to improve in the decisions I make or choose not to make, trusting my ears and following along with the multit-tracks meant I could start to copy exactly what Björgvin did so I can replicate it in my mixes."

-Naomi Haworth
