YES! I Want to Mix a Release-Ready RecordAUDIO ISSUES HAS BEEN FEATURED IN:
If you want to mix your tracks with confidence and feel excited to release your records, this is the challenge you’ve been waiting for.
Imagine: In Only 5 Days, You’ll Have a Finished Mix You Can Be Proud Of
The Step By Step Mixing Challenge Schedule
- Day 1Â - You'll begin with the end in mind so that you know how to get to a finished mix. Beginning with the end in mind is all about critically listening to your tracks, organizing your session and balancing your tracks.
- Day 2 - You'll create a static, two-dimensional mix with EQ, compression, and saturation. EQ, compression and saturation are the “Big Three” processors that move the needle the most in your mix.Â
- Day 3 - You'll create depth and space with reverb and delay. Adding dimension, depth, and space to a mix will help you expand your rough two-dimensional mix into a bigger, three-dimensional image.
- Day 4 - You'll create professional punch and power with parallel processing. Parallel processing will take your final three-dimensional mix and enhance it further, adding power, punch, and width.
- Day 5—You'll make your final mix loud and dynamic so it’s ready for release. "Mixstering" is the method of mastering your song on the mix bus after your mix is finished to make it feel “mastered.” The purist audio community considers this blasphemy, and I could get canceled just for showing you this easy method to make your mixes sound mastered.
If you’ve wanted to finish your mixes and release your records but have gotten sidetracked by tedious online courses, long-winded YouTube videos, or plug-in fatigue, this step-by-step mixing process helps you create pro mixes every time.
And best of all, you'll master this process in only five days!

What Have People Said About the Step By Step Mixing Process?
"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
You will receive instructions and an in-depth training session every day for the next five days 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 each 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 day’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 mix each day.
The Q&A
At the end of each day, you have access to a Q&A coaching call replay 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.

Join the Step By Step Mixing Challenge
My 1-on-1 students pay thousands of dollars for this kind of access, and I hesitated to make all of this training available at such a low price, but I'm committed to helping as many musicians as possible become self-sufficient in the studio so that they can realize their musical vision on their own.

I guarantee that following the workflow, watching the videos, and applying my techniques will help you create more professional mixes from your home studio.
But if at any point you decide that my training didn't skyrocket the quality of your mixes, simply email [email protected] for a full refund, no questions asked nor strings attached!
I take my guarantee very seriously. I am not interested in keeping your money if you don’t learn anything from what I’m creating for you.
So if you’re not happy, I’m not happy. Simple as that.
