"This is the NO BS guide to taking your mixes to the next level! Björgvin has been teaching and writing about recording for a decade, and really understands that stuff that we all struggle with in the home studio. Step By Step Mixing takes you through the full process of making sure your mixes rock from rough to radio ready!"
— Lij Shaw, Award-Winning Engineer, Grammy-Nominated Studio Owner, and Podcaster Behind Recording Studio Rockstars
AUDIO ISSUES HAS BEEN FEATURED IN:
Let Me Ask You...
- Do you fight to make all your instruments and tracks fit together in a busy mix?
- Do you struggle to make your tracks punchy and tight with compression?
- Does your mix sound washed out and cluttered because you're using the wrong reverbs?
- Are you confused by saturation and how to use it to get a warmer-sounding mix?
If you answered yes to any of those questions, don't worry - You're not alone.
Let me tell you, I had no clue when I first started mixing.
I thought mixing was supposed to be fun and cool but I just felt intimidated.
All I did was randomly insert plug-ins and processors on every track, then shrug my shoulders because I couldn't really figure out how anything worked.
No matter what I did I couldn't make it sound better.
The songs changed when I played with the plug-ins, but I didn't know where I was going with the mix.
There was no balance to the instruments and the vocals sounded glued on and fake.
The low-end was boomy, the drums sounded boxy and the balance was always either too harsh or too muddy.
Put Simply, my Mixes Screamed: "Amateur!" because the truth is...
- If you have no plan of action...
- No concrete steps...
- Or an idea of where you're going with your mixes...
You'll mix in circles, never getting to a final, finished record.
I honestly didn't understand what to listen for so I kept randomly putting plug-ins on tracks, tweaking presets that didn't fit, and selecting inappropriate effects that weren't suitable for the song.
15 years later, after countless hours in the studio, I've created a fool-proof process for creating pro mixes.
And once I figured it out, mixing became fun!
I know how to create separation and balance with EQ.
I know what buttons to push on my compressor to make my mixes tight and loud.
I use reverb and delay to create space and depth that makes the mix sound pro.
My vocals sound better than ever because I know how to recognize and eliminate problematic frequencies, add some secret sauce with saturation and blend the vocals into the mix so they don't feel stuck on top.
Throughout my learning process, I realized that the plug-ins I kept coming back to when I needed to make the mix sound open and dynamic were these five processors.
- EQ
- Compression
- Reverb
- Delay
- Saturation
Now that I've learned how to master these five plug-ins, I'm paying it forward to musicians and producers like yourself so that you can use my techniques (and avoid my mistakes) to instantly improve your mixes - without buying more plug-ins, wasting time on Youtube or spending thousands of dollars on audio school.
My mixing techniques have helped thousands of musicians and producers gain the confidence and skills to make professional mixes they can be proud of.
They've used their mixing skills to successfully release their own records and get paying audio gigs from their home studios.
So if you're exhausted with your trial and error mix process that keeps you second-guessing yourself about whether your music sounds any good.
...If you're tired of individual tricks and wished you had a clear set of instructions on how to make your mixes sound like the professional records you love so much.
..If you just want a clear A - Z process to make awesome mixes, then Step By Step Mixing is your clear, concise, and complete reference guide to level up your mixes from your home studio.
"I’d finally call myself a mix engineer as well."
"I’m a singer, songwriter, producer and now I’d finally call myself a mix engineer as well. This is truly a fantastic book for any new, aspiring or even seasoned mix engineers."

The books explains a lot how to move the faders in a way that everything is balanced. Then it goes in depth into EQ, compressor, reverb, delay and saturation."

Real Results from Musicians and Producers Who Have Used the Step-By-Step Mixing Process to Create Amazing Mixes in Any Genre
"No fluff, all good content. I've been mixing for about 2 years now and while I have a good understanding, books and experience from others helps me advance. I bought this book on a whim and I really enjoyed it. It's super easy to understand, gets right to the point without bragging about how good the author is. It's a pretty short read too so easy to reference when mixing. It's well written, simple to understand and easy to follow when trying out the suggestions in your DAW. Recommended for beginners and those who have a few mixes under their belt."
"I had only read one or two chapters of the book and it handled a major flaw in my workflow which was preventing me from finishing mixes. Bjorgvin's book really helps to put order into one's approach to mixing so that they're handling the right thing at the right time, rather than just handling things at random (and subsequently creating chaos for themselves). I highly recommend this book to anyone who is floundering around with unfinished mixes."
"I enjoyed this book because it was a good summary on what I need to make a mix. In today’s world, home studio is the norm. As such one has many options for DAWS, Plug-ins and etc that I can get overwhelming for a novice. Thank you for this book."
