What's Inside

30 pages. Every move in the mix.

No fluff, no 300-page textbook. Each page is a fast, visual reference for the decision in front of you. Simply pull it up, find the answer you need, then get back to making music.

The Page Everyone Talks About

Hear a word. Find the frequency.

A mix sounds “boxy,” “nasally,” “harsh” — but where do you reach on the EQ? The Frequency Spectrum page maps the words you hear to the exact Hz to cut or boost. It's the page students reach for most.

Learn The Principles

Principles, not paint-by-numbers.

These aren't “boost this frequency, set your attack to X” instructions. They cover the foundational principles and ways of approaching mixing and mastering.

Each page gives you a starting point whenever you load up your DAW — and teaches you to think the right way about the craft, so you're equipped for success in the long run.

“As someone starting from ground zero, I use it alongside a 10-week mixing class — each week a new concept, and this binder is the perfect reference. So well laid out, and the settings to start from before you tweak to taste have been a lifesaver. Didn't expect it to feel this high-quality.”

“Tons of useful information organized for quick reference. But what impressed me most was the outstanding quality — every page printed on durable card stock. Worth every penny.”

“As a drummer with very little working knowledge of recording and engineering, this binder is a huge asset. Easy to understand how and why to do things in pursuit of your audio goals. Highly recommend it.”

“Excellent, well laid out, easy to understand. Sort of an ‘if you want THIS, do THAT’ approach — with no preaching or long-winded explanations.”

“I purchased the download and the hard copy, which is very well produced — both content and durability. I'll keep the hard copy in my gig bag, as I do live audio. Thank you!”

“A great asset, especially with the accompanying course and walkthrough session. It gives a structured approach to mixing and mastering and clear guidance on how to use each tool — but also the why.”

Questions

FAQs

Who is this for?

This is for artists, musicians and engineers who either record their own music at home and want to improve the quality of their mixes and masters — or want to get better at mixing and mastering in order to offer it as a service to others.

It doesn't matter what level you're at, what DAW you use, or what genre you work with. The cheat sheets are handy for all ability levels, and the information inside isn't genre-specific.

Is this for beginners or intermediates?

It's helpful for all ability levels. We cover fundamentals — like what every parameter on an EQ or compressor does — all the way up to intermediate workflows and concepts.

Plus, the breakdown course included as a free bonus gives you in-depth tutorials for integrating the information, covering advanced concepts that can't be communicated through a cheat sheet alone.

What DAW is this for?

It doesn't matter — the techniques are the exact same in every DAW. You'll be able to follow along regardless of which one you use.

Is this for any specific genres?

No — what you'll learn is totally agnostic to genre. It's understanding the underlying foundational principles of music production that matters. Once you have those, you have the building blocks for any genre or type of music.

How long will it take to get my physical binder?

If this page shows stock is available, your binder is dispatched within 1–3 working days. In the US, shipping then takes 5–8 days. In the UK, binders are sent 2nd class and take 2–3 days. For other countries, shipping can take up to 8–12 working days.

Is there a refund policy or guarantee?

You have 30 days to request a full refund, no questions asked. If you're not happy for any reason, simply email us at [email protected].

30-Day Money-Back Guarantee

reach for every session.
