Puremix Path Program

A real program for learning how to mix.

The Puremix Path Program is not a video playlist. Every week, a Puremix instructor takes you through one topic, live on Zoom: a hand-picked tutorial, prompts and an exercise before the class, 45 minutes live with the group, the replay for a week. Jump in any week, the path comes back around.

How it works

One topic a week. Jump in anytime.

Prep before the class

A week before each class you get the tutorial to watch, the prompts to answer and a hands-on exercise. Do it on your own, and bring your questions to class.

45 minutes, live on Zoom

The class runs like a studio lab, not a lecture: polls, Q&A, and members on mic to share what they found. The replay stays up for a week.

No order to follow

The path is a wheel, not a line. Start any week: every topic comes back around on the next cycle.

Class session feedback

They walked the path.

Sarah M.

Indie producer · on the path since March

I’d watched hundreds of tutorials and my mixes still fell apart. Six months on the path fixed what six years of random tips couldn’t.

Marcus D.

Mixing engineer · completed the full path

Knowing the whole group is working through the same topic changes everything. You show up, you do the assignment, you actually get better.

Léa R.

Home studio artist · week 4 of 12

Joe explains one thing until it’s obvious, live, on a real record, and you apply it the same week. The closest thing to a real studio program.

Two levels, two paths.

Level 1 is included for Lite members. Level 2 is included for Core members. Live classes, replays and assignments included.
