Audio Issues Has Been Proudly Featured On:

Do you want to finally transform your rough demos into professional mixes you can be proud to release?

  • Do you fight to make all your instruments and tracks fit together in a busy mix?
  • Do you struggle to hear compression and how to use it to create tight and punchy mixes?
  • Do you have difficulty using reverb and delay without cluttering up your mix?
  • Are you confused by saturation and how to use it to get a warmer 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 what I was doing 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.

No matter how many YouTube videos I watched or plug-ins I bought, my mixes never sounded good enough.

The instruments had no balance, and the vocals sounded glued on and fake.

If you've randomly added plug-ins to tracks, tweaked presets that didn't fit, and selected inappropriate effects unsuitable for your song, then I know how you feel.

It was all just so intimidating.

Put simply, my mixes screamed "Amateur!" because the truth is...

  • If you have no plan...
  • No system to follow...
  • Or a workflow to make your mixes sound like you hear in your head...

...you'll waste time mixing 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.

Fifteen years later, after countless hours working on audio and helping thousands of musicians and producers confidently make music they could be proud to release, I've created a fool-proof process for 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 the years, I realized that the plug-ins I kept coming back to when I needed my mixes to sound open, dynamic, and professional were these five processors:

  • Equalization
  • Compression
  • Reverb
  • Delay
  • Saturation

And once you follow this step-by-step mixing process, mixing will become easy for you. I guarantee it.

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...

...and would like to:

  • Follow a simple and proven process so you can finish your mixes in less time, with increased confidence
  • Create separation between your instruments and master the frequency spectrum, even if you have a bunch of tracks
  • Hear the subtle nuances of compression and how it can add punch to your tracks and power to your mixes
  • Add spacious reverbs and subtle depth with delays without making things sound too far away or washed out
  • Add warmth to your mix with saturation to make your mixes sound more professional without worrying about overcooking your tracks

...then the Step By Step Mixing System is the clear, concise, and complete A - Z process to level up your mixes from your home studio.

"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!"

“I’m a singer, songwriter, producer and now after reading this, I’d finally call myself a mix engineer as well. Before reading this I felt like I had a pretty ok understanding of mixing and just needed to fill in the gaps, but after reading this I realized that I didn’t know much at all. I got so much out of this. This is truly a fantastic book for any new, aspiring or even seasoned mix engineers. I’ve always wanted to just sit next to some pro MEs to see how they did it and I finally feel like I had that chance. Every page is filled with great info and at no point did it ever feel like Björgvin was trying to fill pages. Literally, every page and word was extremely helpful. Keep em coming Björgvin. Great Stuff!”
