Mixing music is an art form, and therefore, each mixing engineer can render a unique artistic approach to a song. Good mixing engineers can add listening value to music by adding motion, depth, dynamics, and "color" to the instruments initially recorded.
This course teaches solid mixing concepts and the utilization of technology to enable students to develop their own creative approach to mixing. You should never waste time moving knobs randomly without understanding what you are doing. The principles in this class will equip you to use your mixing time efficiently and creatively and deliver good mixes consistently.

As someone who has been practicing mixing independently for approximately five years, I approached the course with the hope of expanding my knowledge and refining my skills. However, I found that the majority of the content—approximately 80%—covered concepts and techniques I was already familiar with, and in some cases, I have encountered more effective solutions through my own experience.
While I understand the value this course may provide to beginners just starting their journey in mixing, it might be helpful to clearly communicate that the course is primarily designed for individuals at an introductory level. This could better manage expectations for participants with more advanced experience.
Thank you for the effort put into creating this course. I hope this feedback is helpful in enhancing its value for a wider range of learners.
