The most valuable tool we have in a mix is your ability to listen. That skill is something we develop by learning what to listen for. This lesson introduces the main dimensions of a mix and teaches students to focus their attention before grabbing any gear.
During this live seminar session we will examine deeply, the key take aways and techniques as well as explore and share individual use case practice and experience of the material. You are encouraged to have your own live drums and bass session to experiment with.
Before grabbing another plugin, how far can you take a mix using only faders and pan? This lesson challenges students to create clarity, focus, and excitement by balancing the tracks already in front of them.
During this live seminar session we will examine the key take aways and techniques, as well as explore and share individual use case practice and experience of the material. Participants should come away with modern sounding live drums, building the bedrock for any great mix.

Written in a run-down Memphis hotel in 2020, Mick Hayes’ “Feeling Lowdown” was born from frustration and heartbreak. Recorded live at Ocean Way Nashville in 2024 with Joe Bonamassa, Josh Smith, and an all-star band, the track was mixed by Mark Abrams and mastered by Brian Lucey.…
Compression reshapes the dynamics and envelope of a sound over time. In this lesson, you’ll learn to hear how it affects transients, sustain, consistency, and movement, and connect those changes to the controls on compressors.
Get to grips with the differences in each kind of compression, how they work, and try them for yourself. Participants will apply, discuss, and utilize the varying types of compression discussed in Andrew’s video series on the subject.
Reverb can place sounds within a shared space or change how close or distant they feel. In this lesson, we’ll learn how decay time, pre-delay, filtering, and level shape the size and depth of instruments within a mix.
