Understand both theory & practice with an accomplished Producer and Mentor
Learn at your own pace, watch as many times as you need to learn the lessons
Please note the song we will be focusing on is the house song called “7up” from the introduction video. We will not be focusing on the hard style of dubstep songs from the intro video. Though they are fun songs, I feel that house music is more universally loved and will be the perfect song to break down and analyze for this tutorial.
Let’s Get Started!
Embark on an insightful journey into the intricate world of music production, where we unravel the mysteries behind crafting a commercially polished record. In this tutorial, I will personally guide you through the meticulous process of breaking down one of my own meticulously produced, mixed, and mastered songs.

Now, I am thrilled to share these invaluable insights with you. By gaining an understanding of these consistencies, you will be empowered to preemptively identify and effectively address any problem areas that may arise in your current track you are working on right now.
The primary focus of this tutorial lies in equipping you with an arsenal of tools all the pro’s use to approach music production. Not only will this knowledge save you invaluable time, but it will also elevate the quality of your productions, but will cut down your mix times so you can mix and master your tracks faster and move on to the fun part… producing your next song!
Unlock the secrets to mixing and mastering like a seasoned professional. Embrace this transformative opportunity to enhance your skills, refine your craft, and set yourself apart in the competitive world of music production!
Course Notes
PLUGINS
We will be using Fab Filter, Ozone Advanced, Shaperbox, Shoothe 2, Trash 2, Shadow Hills Comp but you don’t need these to have follow this tutorial because of DAW standard plugins that do the same thing alongside alternates. It’s the knowledge that makes the mix not the plugins. Never once has a plugin mixed a song it’s the mind behind the tools that make the mix.
Skill Level
This tutorial is designed to benefit producers of all skill levels, ensuring that everyone can enhance their craft through its comprehensive content. While prior intermediate production experience is not a prerequisite, it is essential to have a solid foundation in the basics of EQ and compression. Familiarity with mid-side processing theories, as well as the fundamentals of sidechains and standard DAW workflows, will also prove advantageous.
By equipping yourself with these fundamental concepts, you will be well-prepared to embark on a transformative learning journey, expanding your knowledge and refining your skills in the art of audio production. Whether you are a beginner seeking to establish a strong foundation or an experienced producer aiming to further elevate your craft, this tutorial offers invaluable insights and techniques that will undoubtedly contribute to your growth and success.
