For Musicians, Producers, and Engineers Looking to Mix Release-Ready Records...
How To Confidently Transform Your Rough Recordings Into Pro Mixes, Using the Gear You Already Have
If your mixes sound weak and muddy, this proven mixing formula will help you make professional, release-ready records that explode from your speakers, without buying more plug-ins or investing in a fancy studio
If you are:
- A songwriter recording songs in your home studio wishing they sounded more professional...
- A bedroom producer making beats to collaborate with other artists and topliners but can't get them to sound as powerful as what you hear on Spotify or Soundcloud...
- The "audio person" in your band who wants to "do it all yourself" but doesn't know how to make better mixes…
- Or an audio engineer working to improve your skills...
...Then this message is for you.
Are You Fighting to Fix Your Muddy Mixes?
If you’re like most musicians, you want your music to sound just as good as your favorite records…
And once you've recorded your tracks, you have to make that production sound like the mix you hear in your head.
Instead, all you get is a muddy mix where the drums take over the bass in the low-end, the instruments sound thin and your vocals get buried by your tracks.
I’m sure you don’t want your mixes to sound so boomy your songs sound like somebody threw a blanket over the speakers...
...or so muddy they feel more like a competitor in Tough Mudder slogging through sludge...
And no matter what you try, you can't create a clean mix!
Even worse, once you get a decent sound in your home studio you'll take it to the car to make sure it passes the car-test.
You load up your mix in the car, turn the volume up, and...?
Your Mix Sounds Nothing Like it Did in Your Studio!
No matter what you do, you can't get your mix to translate to other speakers.
Everywhere you play your song it sounds different...
When you listen on earbuds, on your phone, or in the car...you wonder why your mix sounds so much worse than other records...
- The bass is boomy and cluttering up the low-end
- The vocals are masked by the guitars
- The drums are so weak and boxy they sound like a toddler banging on cardboard boxes
- And the entire mix just sounds way too quiet
So you sit in your car frustrated, wondering if you’ll ever be able to finish a mix that feels like a professional record.
You’d like to spend your free time working on music you can be proud of, but when your mixes sound thin and harsh next to your favorite songs, you start to give up hope.
You wonder:
- “Is it my equipment that needs to be upgraded?”
- “Do I really need a professional studio engineer to help me?”
- “Maybe I’m just not cut out for this?”
But before you give up...
You do what everybody else does in the same situation...
You Fall Down the Youtube Rabbit Hole!
Youtube Videos NEVER Give You the Full Picture You Need for Finished Mixes...
- Youtube videos skip steps.
- They assume you know what they know.
- They work on music you don’t like.
- They take 20 minutes to show you a tip that I could teach you in two minutes because they want to show you one more ad to collect ad revenue...
Jumping from one Youtube mix tip to another and expecting them to give you the full formula for fixing your muddy mixes is the definition of insanity…
Although good ol’ Albert probably clapped on 1 and 3 he was still a smart cookie...
And if you’re watching “just one more video,” hoping to finally learn how to mix...you might get closer to having his crazy hairdo than having a released recording.
The Mirage of Too Many Plug-ins
When your songs don’t sound like professional productions, you may think you can just buy some miracle plug-in that’ll automagically make your mix better.
Like you can just buy you some software that instantly makes all of your songs sound amazing.
If that was true, you'd never hear a bad song on the radio!
It's Sold Like Magic...But It's a Myth!
Plug-in companies WILL convince you that they all have the secret solution to solid mixes.
The fact is: buying a brand-new plug-in won’t help you make your mixes better if you still don’t know how to use the plug-ins you already have.
What if I Told You...
...That You Already Have Everything You Need in Your DAW...
If You Want Pro Mixes That Are Good Enough to Charge For, You MUST Know How to Use These Tools:
1. Equalization
EQ makes all your instruments fit together in the frequency spectrum, clears up the low-mid muddiness and gets your mix to sparkle.
2. Compression
Compression tightens up the sound of your mix, add punch to your instruments and keeps your dynamics steady.
3. Reverb
Reverb adds space around your tracks so that it sound three-dimensional and big instead of flat and boring.
4. Delay
Delay adds depth, effects and excitement to your song without cluttering up the track and making it sound washed out.
5. Saturation
Saturation is your secret sweetener to bring out cool harmonic content in your instruments. It'll add warmth and thickness without adding boominess to your mix.
Those are the plug-ins that every professional engineer uses to get those great mixes that you hear on the radio.
"it's a dream come true to get this song sounding so good."
"Wow! It’s done and dusted! What can I say, it's an absolutely fantastic mix/master. It's a dream come true to get this song sounding so good. It's perfect! It has a great balance and you can hear everything. I think you have done a fantastic job. I can hear that you have implemented all the aspects that you talk about and teach thru Audio Issues. It sounds amazing and really consistent on a number of different speakers. The mix is a nice celebration of the guitars and the song and vocals come to the fore which is the main objective and it is a joy to hear with your mix."
-Chris McConville, U.K.

If you're looking for a proven process to take your home studio demos and transform them into professional records you can be proud of, I'm here to help.
Hi, I'm Björgvin Benediktsson. I'm the musician, mixing engineer, and audio educator behind Audio Issues.
I've worked in live sound, broadcast recording, and studio production throughout my career since 2006. I’ve also written over 1,000 articles and tutorials on audio production to share my knowledge with you, both on Audio Issues and for other audio publications such as MusicTech magazine, Audiotuts+, The Pro Audio Files, and Recording Revolution to name a few.
My mixing techniques have helped thousands of musicians, producers, and engineers 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 many use their newfound mixing skills to get paying jobs from their home studios.
My goal is to give you the same game plan so you can confidently crank out release-ready records with ease.
The Simple Truth is This:
Your Mixes NEED to Sound Amazing if You Want People to Listen and You're So Close to Getting There
If your track sounds like a demo instead of like a professional, broadcast-ready recording, here's what will happen:
- Your music won’t be played by radio DJs
- Your music will get rejected by music supervisors for sync
- Your music will get skipped on streaming services
Even if you’re just working on your music as a hobby you still need to know how to make good mixes, even if it's just in your spare time between your family and work obligations.
And if you’re looking to use your music skills to get freelance audio work…
If your mixes don't compare to professional records, nobody will hire you as a professional mixer.
...And if you want to turn on the radio or play a song on Spotify and say, "Hey listen, I mixed that!" then it's time for you to stop chasing the legendary pot of plug-ins at the end of the rainbow and learn a workflow that teaches you to transform your rough recordings into finished records once and for all.
The Secret Behind Great Mixes is This:
Using a proven process and a solid mixing FORMULA is the best way to get quality mixes every time.
- You don't need thousands of dollars of fancy plug-ins.
- You don't need to buy more gear to make your next mix sound fantastic.
- You don’t need to jump from one Youtube video to another wasting more time on watching ads than finishing mixes.
When you use a formula, you not only save money from all those plug-ins you won't need to buy, or the mixing engineer you don't need to hire, but you also save time by knowing exactly how to transform your demos into professional, quality mixes that jump out of your speakers.
The formula is the framework that helps you confidently finish more mixes than you've ever done before.
When you know instinctively how to get rid of muddiness and a flabby low-end you'll crank out mixes much faster than if you were playing with a new plug-in every day.
And with enough songs in your portfolio, bands will like your mixes enough to hire you.
I don't tell you this just to get your hopes up. I tell you this because I know you can achieve this too.
It's How My Students Succeed Time and Time Again And I Know You Can Too!
From Broke Musician to Professional Music Producer
Eric L’Esperance plays acoustic folk with his wife Ash as the duo The Promise is Hope.
They used to make most of their income from touring the East Coast.
Then COVID Came...and Their Income Dried Up Overnight!
But that wasn’t when the music died. That’s when he decided he wanted total control over his music instead of relying on expensive engineers at commercial studios.
I mixed one of his songs for them and then showed him how it was done. From there he was off to the races. They released their first-ever record from their home studio and it was one of their most successful releases EVER.
But the income was drying up and the live venues weren’t opening any time soon. He needed to make money right away but he couldn’t imagine teaching kids how to play guitar.
And to be honest, I don’t blame him...
I love teaching people how to mix, but if I had to teach five-year-olds how to play an F-chord I'd run back to my dead-end cashier gig at the supermarket!
However, his engineering skills had improved considerably and he gained the confidence to believe in his abilities as an audio engineer.
And with that confidence came the confidence to start charging for his skills.
Now he’s working as a freelance producer from his home studio and it’s opened up a whole new world of possibilities for him.
If You're Smart Like Eric, You'll Learn to Do it Yourself
That way you save money because you don't need to hire anybody else. You'll already have the knowledge needed to crank out professional mixes. The knowledge that may even get you paying gigs as you show your mixes to other musicians.
If you want to get to that level, it's clear as day what you need to do to improve your mixes:
Learn the proven formula for finishing your mixes.
Eric L'Esperance, The Promise is Hope, Massachusetts, USA
“Our listeners have been sending us messages about the tune, and are gushing on the song. So many folks are talking about how beautiful it sounds. I know that the work we did recording and arranging played a large part, but your mixing/mastering job was the icing on the cake. Thanks again for selecting the tune. "Simon, Taylor, Denver, Cash" is our best single release ever. That was the first song I ever recorded myself, and along with that came a whole bunch of doubt. I just didn’t know if I was capable of recording quality enough tracks on my own. Hearing your mix come back sounding professional and legit gave me the confidence to continue investing in this journey. This has been a dream of mine for several years, and your role has encouraged me in a deeply meaningful way. Your mentorship has been instrumental and hugely impactful and I know our future albums will have your thumbprint all over them."

-Philip Torrenueva
Module #2: Make Faster Mixes With an Efficient Mix Template
In module two you’ll learn how to set up and create a mix template that works for you and your productions.
I’ll walk you through mine and give you ideas on why and how to use one to get better mixes in less time.
This module not only shows you how to save time with a template, but I also give you a bunch of tips and tricks on what settings I use on my plugins in my template and why they’re there.
Here's What the Mix Template Formula Will Teach You
- How a mix template can shave hours off your mixing time so you can get better mixes in less time
- Exactly what plug-ins you should be using on your mix bus to get a good rough mix immediately
- How to get great drum mixes in no time with just a few plug-ins and a simple process
- The quickest way to get a great rough mix without wasting time browsing your plug-ins folder
- How to set up your instrument and vocal mixing template to easily make your instruments stand out
- What effects busses you should create in your template so you can easily create punch through parallel compression, width through stereo widening, and depth with reverb and delay

- See exactly how to group and buss your instruments for a faster workflow
- Learn the exact EQ filters that are in place for every instrument for instant low-mid cleanup without you needing to waste time EQ'ing the low-end every time
"these lessons really made a huge difference to me... I'm a rookie, and an older one as well, unfortunately, so it took me some effort to get it right, but thanks to this I finally plunged into my DAW, which is Cubase. I set up a template where I routed my kick/snare/toms & overheads into a drum bus and my lead and backing vox into a vocal bus. I love the parallel opto and fet-compressing, which does magic for the vocals, in my particular case. Very happy with this course, thx!"
-Tom Vandegoor
"Great lessons this week! I have been working on mine for a few months now...I definitely realized my buses are a mess and I am trying to come up with a standard where I use the same buses for the same sends".
-John Owings
"Hi Bjorgvin, this took me longer than a half an hour, but I'm glad it did. I went down a rabbit hole of actually acknowledging what plug ins I do own, and actually having an idea of what they are meant to do. But it's great to have a template, and there is no way I would have such a template to experiment with if I was not doing this course. It's making me challenge myself and break on through. It's taking me a little longer, but I know for myself I am making gains."
-George Coutsoudis
Module #3: The Mix Finisher Philosophy
In module three you'll discover everything you need to know about prepping your session, gain-staging your tracks, and approaching your mix with confidence.
Here's What the Mix Finisher Philosophy will Teach You

-George Coutsoudis
“what a great tip, would never have thought of zooming in like that to see how slight the drums out. I need to pay more attention during the initial listen and rough mix before I start throwing on plugins. This was definitely eye-opening.”
-John Owings
“Good lesson! 10 years ago before I began educating myself on mixes, I would immediately start throwing plugins on everything, this stage is so important to begin with volume & panning.”
-Ron Irizarry
Module #4 - How To Mix With Only 5 Plug-ins
Module 4 is the centerpiece of the entire course. The 5 Plug-in Framework is based on my best-selling book Step By Step Mixing: How to Create Great Mixes Using Only 5 Plug-ins and it will teach you how to master the five most important plug-ins every mixing engineer uses to make professional mixes.
If you want to create professional mixes that are good enough to charge for, you MUST know how to use these processors.
- Learn to separate your instruments with EQ
- Discover how to hear compression and use it effectively
- Make it easy to add space and depth with reverb and delay
- Add warmth, thickness, and that special secret sauce with saturation
With a total of 26 videos in this module alone, you'll learn everything you need to know about EQ, compression, reverb, delay, and saturation.
Here's What You'll Discover Inside the 5 Plug-in Framework:
How To Create Separation in Your Mixes With EQ
EQ makes all your instruments fit together in the frequency spectrum, clears up the low-mid muddiness, and gets your mix to sparkle.
- How to use filters to clean up your low-end, fix your muddy mixes, and get rid of harsh high-end.
- The time-saving EQ method that helps you mix faster
- How to use EQ to bring out the best of the drums (whether you're mixing acoustic drums or programmed beats), bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals, and other instruments.
- How to get rid of muddiness, reduce boom and add presence and sparkle to a mix using JUST EQ
- The two-step process to use low-pass filters to tighten up guitars while making them cut through the mix
- The underused frequency area where you can bring out the character of the keyboards without masking other aspects of the mix
- How to EQ a vocal-heavy song so that the backup vocals don't overpower the lead vocals
- The most important, but overlooked aspect of using EQ to rebalance your mix to hear the separation between all the instruments in your song
- How to keep the mid-range in check so you don't get boxy kick drums, honky guitars, muddy bass or nasally vocals. Take the guesswork out of EQ and follow along so you know exactly when and why you should cut and boost each instrument.
"I learned the difference between EQ'ing for balance and cohesion and EQ'ing for color and dimension. "
"I found this course to be detailed, relevant, and very practical - and quite a bit of fun. Specifically, I found each of the tutorial videos engaging and detailed, yet it was not "preachy" as "this is the only way to" I learned the difference between EQ'ing for balance and cohesion and EQ'ing for color and dimension. The visual component of seeing the specific instrument's frequency range really helps nail problem areas more efficiently. Also, this course has changed (and simplified) the way I set up a session. The idea is great. You explain a little bit of why you use the plugin and what the overall goal is. Then you do it" live and then explain what you have done. I realized that all you need is basically only these 5 plug-ins."
-Ken Bauer, Mixing Engineer
How To Create Punch and Tightness With Compression
Compression tightens up the sound of your mix, adds punch to your instruments, and keeps your dynamics steady.

"...the biggest takeaway was learning a rock-solid workflow that keeps me mixing and creating instead of losing valuable time sifting through hours of articles and videos. Now when I start a new project, I have more confidence and feel better about my mixes."
"I felt like I had a basic knowledge of recording and mixing. The issue I had was putting it all together and figuring out a way to get a song finished (or knowing when a song is finished) and ready to be mastered and released. I learned a lot about EQ and compression but the biggest takeaway was learning a rock-solid workflow that keeps me mixing and creating instead of losing valuable time sifting through hours of articles and videos. Now when I start a new project, I have more confidence and feel better about my mixes. This course was great and the support was outstanding. I have purchased similar courses before and I have never received this kind of one on one attention from the others. The course worked well for me and it was presented in a way that never felt like information overload. If you are looking for a straight forward mixing course that teaches you advanced techniques that you can actually understand and use to improve your mixes, then this is for you."
-John Owings

Hear What Other Students Like Yourself Have Said About Mix Finisher Formula:
“Literally, within a short amount of time you will know so much more than what you knew before. I would highly recommend it to anyone. You definitely give people a sense of hope and purpose and the fact that it can be done and you and your knowledge is amazing!”
-George Coutsoudis
“Mix Finisher Formula was my perfect class. Without a doubt the best investment I’ve made this year. It’s helped me understand so very much. I told myself my whole life that I don’t have an ear for this and that was my excuse for never learning how…It finally hit me that my DAW is a musical instrument and that really woke me to make that musical choice. I’m absolutely loving it."
-Gina LaMonte
"There is very little in this world more soul-satisfying than completing this long process with something you can feel proud of"
"My new album Parts and Labor just went up on Spotify, etc. and the courses are what pulled it over the finish line. Rather than attempt to learn everything a professional engineer might know, I purchased the course from Audio Issues. It’s basic, ground-up instruction on going from zero to a quality mix in the fewest number of steps. Since I had the audio tracks recorded already, I substituted my tracks for the audio that is provided in the curriculum. This was very effective, in that I was more vested in the learning process. I turned it from a two-step learning process (take class, apply what you learned) into one, applying the knowledge in real-time. There is very little in this world more soul-satisfying than completing this long process with something you can feel proud of – something that is in the world forever.”
-Bob Gemmell, Singer/Songwriter, California
"My final album would never have been the same without you"
"I was a total rookie a couple of years ago and I found your forum online. I learned a lot from your followers in there, and also by you. I've taken the Mixing With 5 Plug-ins course, read a lot of different stuff you have around, and also did your online 1-on-1 lessons which really made a huge difference.
Talking to you in person and getting pinpointed tips was really helpful. When we first met I had already made one album which was... kinda ok, but I just knew that I needed to learn more.
My final album would never have been the same without you"
-Kjell-Vidar Teig, Home Studio Rock Musician, Sweden
"I have subscribed to other online courses, and watched many, many hours of YouTube content; but nothing has unwrapped the key to the puzzle in the same way you've been able to"
"As a recent student of yours, I also wanted to thank you for the content. You have a knack for getting information across which has allowed me to break down barriers. Seeing some of your 'unconventional' EQ curves has provided me the confidence to start trusting my ears - not the visualizer. I'm now very comfortable employing the strategy that there is no actual convention. Your approach to space and depth has also really helped me understand how to approach this area of the mix...This philosophy has been the most freeing of them all. I have subscribed to other online courses, and watched many, many hours of YouTube content; but nothing has unwrapped the key to the puzzle in the same way you've been able to...my mixes have improved beyond all doubt. Most importantly, my 'bigger picture' perspective towards the process has shifted towards 'feeling' the whole song instead of getting caught up on the micro-details. I always knew this is what was required, but I simply didn't have a clear direction on how to achieve it. You have provided that in abundance. Consider me a very happy customer."
-Mark Rousell, Engineer/Musician
"I would certainly recommend this course to anyone who is starting out on their mixing journey as well as folks like me who have been mixing for a while but haven't learned good fundamentals."
"Overall, I really enjoyed the course. I think for me the most valuable thing was seeing your screen and watching your thought process visually. I have read mixing textbooks in the past and the information is simply too dense to be all that useful. In particular, the "Mixing with no plug-ins" video was extremely helpful. I realized that many of my major mixing woes were caused by poor organization and skipping over fundamentals. I've been mixing for a while as a hobby and in that time have picked up many bad habits, and this course definitely helped me re-learn the habits that make for better mixes. I really enjoyed the course. I personally didn't really want to use the song that you were mixing and instead opted for applying the techniques I learned from the videos to my own mix. I would certainly recommend this course to anyone who is starting out on their mixing journey as well as folks like me who have been mixing for a while but haven't learned good fundamentals. I am very satisfied with my purchase. Thanks so much for doing what you do, Björgvin!"

-Andika Wilson, Producer
"I am so pumped to revisit my first mix! I would say there were many big takeaways from this course. It was great to take the process apart and dive deep into how each piece builds on each other. There were also parts of the mix process I was struggling to control and get the most out of such as delay and saturation. I feel much more confident. I have been doing some mixing work on other things while doing this course and myself and others have noticed improvements. Thanks again for everything!"
-David Lussier, Home Studio Musician
