If you value your time and want to streamline the process of making professional sounding music (something that can take years, maybe decades to do on your own) then misguided, disjointed information from unvetted sources all over the internet is NOT the answer.

If you want results now, this guide can help. But if you don’t value your time, and would prefer to go it alone, that's also completely fine.

If you're new here, some things to keep in mind:

Our music has been streamed over 50 million times

We've licensed our music to mega-brands like Netflix, Equinox, MTV, and Toyota

We've signed originals & remixes with labels like Universal, Sony, Island, Ultra, Armada, and EMI/Virgin

We've done official remixes for artists like Beyonce, Tove Lo, Nick Jonas, The Chainsmokers, Laidback Luke, the Neon Trees, and loads more

In other words, we're not just some random "no name" producers on the internet trying to teach music production.

We live and breath this stuff <3

WHY SHOULD I LISTEN TO YOU GUYS?

Aside from the accolades above, we run a cutting edge music production school.

We firmly believe there is no one teaching music production on the internet better than us.

Here is a bit about the Hyperbits family:

Over 45,174+ producers subscribe to our emails

Over 2,522+ producers have purchased our courses

Over 548+ students have signed up for the Hyperbits Masterclass (our flag-ship course)

Over 152,128+ fans subscribe across socials

Over 163,128+ monthly listeners on Spotify

Most importantly, we're artists first who just happen to be really good at teaching <3

BUT ARE YOU GOING TO SPAM ME?

We will never spam you. And while we're at it, we will never sell or share your email address with anyone.

Every single email we send will contain a TON of value, so rest easy! Besides, there is an unsubscribe link at the bottom of every email <3

FAQ

Will this help my mixing & mastering?

Absolutely. These are some of our favorite, highly technical mixing and mastering tips we've come across, streamlined into one beautiful PDF. Don't simply read the PDF - actually work through it and apply these tips into your music.

We give 95% of our educational content away for free (in the form of live workshops, blog posts, PDF guides, and videos) and also sell some premium products for highly motivated and dedicated producers hungry to advance their skill set.

Why didn't I get the PDF in my inbox?

First, wait a few minutes. If there is nothing in your inbox, then check your spam folder. If you still don't get the PDF, it's most likely an error on our part, so help us out and let us know!

Can I mix and master by myself?

Can You Mix and Master Yourself? Yes, you can, but if you don't have to then don't. If you have the budget to send your finished tracks to a Mastering Engineer then you absolutely should do that. Your music will come back sounding better than when it left and you already thought it sounded great.

How do I master my own mixes?

Here's a summary of the steps you'll need to take when you master your mix:.
Optimize your listening space..
Finish your mix (to sound mastered)..
Check the levels..
Bounce down your stereo track..
Take a break (of at least a day)..
Create a new project and import your references..
Listen for the first time (and take notes)..

Is mixing harder than mastering?

Since mixing involves more individual elements, it can be considered more complex than mastering. With that in mind, that certainly doesn't make it easier than the mastering process. Mastering and mixing can each take years of training to pin down, and oftentimes, the respective engineers never stop learning.
