AUDIO ISSUES HAS BEEN FEATURED IN:
Release-Worthy Mixes are Only Five Days Away
You Can Finish and Release Your Music
(Without Buying More Gear or Hiring an Expensive Engineer...)
Â
From: Björgvin Benediktsson, Musician, Audio Educator
If you’re anything like my clients and students, you're sitting on songs begging to be released.
But every time you try to mix and master your music, your skills fall flat.
When you compare your mixes to commercially released records, they pale in significance.
Your mixes sound muddy compared to the clean, clear radio releases you listen to, and you just can’t get that pro sound you’re looking for.
You can’t figure out how to make space for everything in the mix. You jump from one thing to another and waste time demoing plug-ins instead of finishing songs.
No matter what plug-ins you use to chase that elusive perfect sound in your head, your mixes sound horrible, and this can make you feel incredibly frustrated.
When you play your mix outside the studio, it feels like a bloated mess that you can’t wait to turn off because you feel embarrassed by your skills.
So, you stop trusting your instincts.
In the end, you waste so much time mixing that it becomes a huge hassle that sucks all the fun out of making music.
 Â
So You Don't Finish...
If you’ve failed at making pro-level music in the past, it’s not your fault.
There’s a lot of information out there, which can be confusing and sometimes just downright wrong.
Some YouTube videos I’ve seen explaining things have sometimes been scarily inaccurate.
And the sad part is that some people stop short of releasing their work because they get sidetracked by the new shiny plug-in.
Or worse, completely crushed by self-doubt and imposter syndrome.Â
I don’t know how often I’ve heard musicians freeze up because they’re too frustrated with their skills to finally finish and release their work.Â
Â
And Your Songs Sit There on Your Hard Drive...Unreleased
It breaks my heart to know how some people stop short of releasing their music just because they get crushed by imposter syndrome.
Where do you turn for advice to help you take that final step?
- Online groups aren't helpful. Too much contradicting advice.
- YouTube videos are entertaining. But they give you too many extra ideas so you never progress with your skills.
So you end up trapped in a downward spiral of self-criticism because you can’t give your songs that final stamp of approval.
- Imagine knowing exactly how to create the music you hear in your head.
- Imagine knowing exactly how to mix and master professional-sounding records.
- Imagine using your audio and music skills to release your music, grow a fanbase, and build a portfolio of work.Â

Here's What Happens When Your Mixes Sound "Pro"
When you start to create pro mixes you're proud to release and share, the world opens up.
When you record the music that’s close to your heart and share that passionate feeling with your loved ones, your confidence in the studio soars to new heights.
When your work sounds as good as possible, you may start to grow a following that listens to your music and eagerly awaits your next release.
You might start shopping your songs around for sync licensing opportunities to get featured in TV shows and films.
You may also start to get noticed by other artists who want to work with you.
Or maybe you'll just be happy to make high-quality demos for your family, making music they love, appreciate, and listen to.
Regardless of your goals, knowing how to mix and master your music professionally will help you achieve them.
Â
My Mission is to Help You Get There
I can help you confidently mix your music so you're proud to release and share it with the world.
In my career, I've worked as a live sound engineer, a broadcast recording engineer, a professional touring musician, a freelance mixing and mastering engineer, and an audio educator.
For 15+ years, I've been helping people like you transform their rough recordings into professional records they can be proud to release. I’ve passed on everything I’ve learned about mixing and mastering so you can avoid my mistakes and get better mixes in less time.Â
Â
What Do Released Songs Mean to You?
In the end, it comes down to this question:
Would you like to share your released music with your friends, family, and fans?
What would that mean to you?
For some, it’s that sense of closure that your work is out there and finished, waiting to be heard.
For others, it’s the start of a bustling music career.
And if you’re already releasing music, maybe you’d like to finish things faster to build a bigger body of work you can be proud of.
- Do you want to finish your mixes and release your music, but you have no idea where to start?
- Do your mixes sound muddy compared to the clean, clear radio releases you listen to, and you just can’t get that pro sound you’re looking for?
- Are you tired of jumping from one trick to another and demoing new plug-ins that don’t help?
- Would you like direct access to a coach and mentor who can help you understand the entire mixing and mastering process?
- Are you trying to share your songs with the world and feel accomplished as a musical creative?

Is Recommended By Dozens Of Students.
"It was so helpful to walk through a mix in real time and then join the Q and A sessions. Björgvin answered all of our questions succinctly and specifically, and I also learnt a lot from the questions others asked. 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 challenge 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
"As a rookie home producer I finally found Audio Issues offering this fantastic guide that gave all the bits and pieces, that I gathered from the internet, a context and an easy-to-understand explanations. Björgvin encourages its readers with practical tips to try and experiment, rather than just reading. His material I recommend for beginner and experienced enthusiasts!"
-Arjan van Wijk
"refreshingly helpful in demystifying a topic that I’ve been trying to figure out for years. I thought I would have to completely change my life to attend audio school. But with Bjorgvin’s help, I have been able to turn a hobby into the beginning of a freelance career. THANK YOU!"

Here’s How the Step By Step Mixing Challenge Works…
The Process
For the next five days, you will receive instructions and an in-depth training session every day to easily follow along with your tracks and make progress on your mix. I will share the steps you need to take and then show you how to apply them to a song I am working on so that you can see it all in action.
These handouts and videos will be your step-by-step strategy to help you transform your recordings into finished mixes.
The How-To
Follow the instructions every day to make progress. You'll go through the mixing process, from balancing the recordings to bouncing out the mastered mix.
Inside these step-by-step mixing sessions, you'll see exactly how each module's instructions relate to real-world recordings so that you can apply the techniques to your own tracks.
Watching the videos and following the instructions with your tracks guarantees that you make progress on your music so that you have a finished mix by the end of the program.
The Q&A
You will have access to all the Q&A coaching call replays from the previous live sessions, where you can hear questions from past attendees relevant to each day's training to get additional tips relevant to your tracks.
Use these sessions to get in-depth answers to your burning mixing questions, clarification on mixing techniques you want to try, and advice on improving your existing tracks.
Step By Step Mixing Bonus Courses
When you sign up, you'll also access two bonus binge-worthy step-by-step mixing courses you can start immediately.
These courses walk you through two different mixes so you can see the step-by-step mixing process before you take the challenge.
- One course tackles a band-based session where we mix acoustic drums, bass, acoustic and electric guitar, organ, and female and male vocals.
- The second course is geared towards people working with software instruments and beats. It covers electronic drum kits, 808s, synths, and rap vocals.
These two courses cover almost any track you need to know how to mix so you can feel confident mixing whatever genre you're working on.
