While it’s easy to get distracted by the latest and greatest gear, plugins, and flashy tricks, the real key to a great mix is mastering the fundamentals. In this online class, veteran producer/engineer/mixer Jesse Cannon (The Cure, Animal Collective, Senses Fail) shows you all the essentials of mixing rock and electronic music.

In this 3-day class, you’ll learn how to set up a session the RIGHT way—including routing, gain structure, listening techniques, and other best practices. He’ll show you how to mix vocals, bass, drums, guitars, and synths. You’ll also learn how to use compression, reverb and EQ to make your mix come together, while achieving the punch and separation that takes it from good to great. The class is taught with Pro Tools, but the concepts easily translate to any DAW.

Whether you’re new to mixing, or are a seasoned pro looking for a refresher on the basics, this class will teach you how to seamlessly merge individual sounds into polished, cohesive tracks.

Jesse has been recording records since he was 15, when he started with a passion and recording records for the local punk bands he knew in exchange for Doritos and Snapple. Nearly 20 years later he is still at it and making great records with much nicer equipment.

    Disregard the comments saying that this is not the fundamentals of mixing. They're only be saying this because they didn't watch all of the videos before the actual mixing of the songs. Here's my review. This has been a very refreshing class because Jesse talks real life situations of what it's like to learn how to mix. I love how he talks about his own past struggles with mixing and how he overcame those struggles and he gives us key points to do so that we don't go down bunny trails of trial of and error trying to figure out how to mix. I highly recommend this class to anyone who's a beginner or intermediate mixer or if you feel lost sometimes with certain things when mixing, Jesse covers it ALL here and shows you how to overcome and how to be decisive in how you mix. You really owe it to your mixes and clients to invest in this class and set some time aside to watch, listen and learn and you will have a stable foundation to mix anything rock and edm going forward no matter what your mixing skill level is at. My quick tip to anyone reading this is to watch every video because if you don't you'll be like these other nonsense reviews who never watched the whole class and therefor never grew in their mixing skills. Honestly I can't get enough of this class. I keep going back and re-watching and just can't get enough of this class. You apply this stuff and you'll be a pro mixer! Here's to making some killer rock songs in 2020!!!!!!

    I just want to say I have watched a lot of the tutorials on the creative live site, all dealing with audio. And I was so impressed with the knowledge and professionalism of Jesse. This guy walks the walk and talks the talk. Anyone who is an engineer or who wants to become and engineer this is a treasure chest of knowledge. I went to an audio school and we had seminars all the time. A workshop like this will really advance you. And I mean that from an engineers point of view but also that of a consumer because I watched the course for free and a couple of days later I bought the course. You may be thinking to yourself I just can't afford it. You can't afford not to invest in yourself and education. Creative live is a great site and a wealth of knowledge. Thank you very much to Jesse Cannon. Great workshop. You guys at creative live need to bring him back again.
