You've been lied to. There's no magic vocal chain for vocals. There never was and never will be.
Welcome to your escape route - Vocal Mixing Bootcamp. We train you how to THINK while mixing vocals...
So you not only have the skills, but you develop the instincts for what to do when you mix vocals.
The Truth Behind Vocal Mixing REVEALED
At the beginning of the pandemic, I made a shift from being a local producer/recording engineer, with barely any mixing experience (other than some of my own demos), to focusing on ONLY 100% mixing. In the last three years since, I’ve mixed over 500 songs for clients across every genre imaginable, and a number of them have streamed on mainstream FM & Sirius XM radio across North America, topped radio station download charts in Canada, and landed on major Spotify playlists.
But here's the best and most fulfilling part, I keep getting the same feedback over and over: "How did you make my vocals sound like that?" "My voice sounds amazing!" "I can't believe you got the vocals to sound so good".
Take a look...
IMAGINE GETTING REGULAR FEEDBACK LIKE THIS FROM ARTISTS AROUND THE WORLD
(These are real messages from real clients)
Pretty exciting, right?
To go from barely any mixing experience to getting this type of feedback in just a few years...
Now, if you spread out the 500 songs over three years, you might imagine that I spent a large amount of that time mixing, and you’d be right. But in that time I've cracked the code to great sounding vocals in any genre... AND I didn’t need to spend 30 years in a commercial studio to get world-class results.
If you know even a little about mixing music, you know how important it is to nail the vocal mix. It's either breath-taking or it isn't. The vocal mix either makes or breaks the song.
And I didn’t have a big fancy studio with expensive analog gear (if you’ve read my Ultimate Home Studio Setup Guide, you already know this, haha). I just had some basic tools, my ears, and two pandemic years of nothing else to do but mix! Now I’m grateful to say it’s become my full-time gig - I literally mix music all day, every day.
But here’s the thing… With regular life getting back in the swing, most of us don’t have that kind of time anymore. And if mixing and great sounding music is something you are just getting started on now, I would imagine you’d be interested in some real results a little quicker than decades of working at a pro facility, or locking down and obsessing over mixing 24/7 for several years like I did.
Well this is where I have great news. I've developed a brand new training program to completely speed up the process for you, so you can start getting real results, in real time.

Day 1: Prepare For Battle - Professional Vocal Editing Revealed
Too many overlook this crucial stage. The hard truth is: if you fail to prepare, you prepare to fail. We'll talk about preparing your vocal edit for mixing, and the exact steps to take to make sure you can get the cleanest sounding vocals in every mix.
On Day 1, you will learn how to:
- Edit and prepare your raw vocal take.
- Edit breaths to make the vocal sound natural.
- Ensure clean starts and ends to phrases.
- Remove clicks, pops, and mouth noises in a vocal using a free resource.
- Remove plosives (popping P's & B's) that snuck into the vocal edit.
- Fix a poorly comped vocal with strategic editing.
- "Frankenstein" words together for a seamless edit using my favourite techniques, including the "S" trick.
- Regulate vocal volume in the edit before any processing is applied and understand why it's important.
- Tame resonances and piercing frequencies.
- Get a clearer and more polished vocal edit.
Day 2: Processing Magic - Become a Vocal Mixing Wizard
This is the step where we dial in that pro vocal sound. We dial in the tone with EQ, we compress and smooth things out. We make the vocal sparkle. This stage is absolutely key in the vocal mix. If we skip this stage, we’re back into demo territory - and that’s not where we want to go.
On Day 2, you will learn how to:
- Transform your vocal by carefully and intentionally shaping the sound along the way
- Remove rumble from vocals
- Use regular EQ and dynamic EQ effectively
- Target and fix annoying frequencies - the correct way to sweep frequencies that most get wrong!
- Apply the Audio Edges "3-Step Compression Technique" to nail that perfectly compressed radio vocal sound
- Apply analog-style vocal compression techniques and settings to consider
- Suppress resonances and understand why it's SO EFFECTIVE and popular
- Get that crispy and sparkling pop vocal sound with a FREE RESOURCE
- Approach de-essing and understand why engineers have conflicting views (de-essing first vs. de-essing last!)
- Use a secret parallel processing technique that keeps the vocal consistent and on top of the mix
Day 3: Exploring The Effects Galaxy
At this point, we've baked the cake, and now we get to decorate it with the final touches and effects. Part 3 is that satisfying finale where all the hard work pays off!
On Day 3, we'll cover:
- All the final polish your vocal needs to be Spotify-ready.
- My favourite way to add width to your vocal without losing any focus
- Two kinds of go-to vocal reverbs and their deepest, darkest secrets
- One magic way to give your reverb its character and make it stand out (barely anyone knows about this!)
- One industry-secret trick that will make sure your vocal always stays in front of your reverb and never gets washed out - no matter how much you add!
- The two types of go-to delays that will serve most vocals, and exactly how to craft those delays
- The exact method I use to know exactly how much reverb/delay is too much - and how much is just right.
- How to fix the ping-pong delay mistake that EVERYONE makes.
- How to perform the perfect "Vocal Delay-Throw"
- How to make the reverb and delay co-operate with EACH OTHER and work together. (If you don't know this, your effects will always fight each other)
- How to tame your effects, so you never lose control of them and never create a mess
- How to create a beautiful space for vocals (Creating your "Vocal Galaxy")
- My EXACT settings and go-to plugins AND how to tweak the settings to be right for your vocal
- More of my own personal sauce recipe secrets!
Meet Your Mixing Mentor
Hi! I’m Alex. I’ve worked on hundreds of songs with artists from around the world. I’m an award-winning engineer, producer, and mixer. But the truth is, it didn't begin so glamorous.
While I was first attending audio school, I was a nobody in the industry. I had no real credits and no commercial success, but I was starting to pick up an understanding of audio recording and mixing. Soon after, I produced a song out of my college bedroom studio that went on to top radio station download charts and headline national news. In this moment, I realized that I don't need a fancy studio or the best gear to get great results. I realized that all of your of results are a direct result of your skillset.
With this new perspective, I spent a few years gaining experience as an aspiring producer/engineer locally. I worked in almost every genre from rap to country to recording orchestras, and soon after started mixing indie records for artists around town in my home studio.
Fast forward 3 years, and I mix music full-time, for hundreds of artists around the world. There's no slow down in sight, because I've cracked the code to great sounding mixes in any genre, and with that, the world is available to me!
Now I want to share the secrets with you too.
I don't just teach this stuff - I actually do it.
There are a ton of people teaching producing and mixing, and the vast majority of them make their money by teaching other people an array of tips and tricks they learned online, and the cycle continues - losing multitudes of depth and experience in each layer. So many are selling producing/mixing courses with barely having used the strategies for real paying clients. The difference between this program and others, is that I actually do this, for real. That's right, I use every one of the secrets I'm about to reveal to you. And I've used them successfully on over 500 songs for real artists and paying clients (not just my own unreleased demos).
I've made mixing my full-time job completely from home, have been grateful to work with major artists, win awards, and lecture at colleges to the next generation of creatives. In 2023 alone, I've already worked with over 100 students, teaching what goes into making a great song.
I'm confident you will love this course because I made it to serve YOU. I'll be honest, I didn't really need to create a course. I can happily keep busy mixing songs, and that's exactly why I feel I can offer this to you at such a low price right now - with so much inexperienced information floating around, I feel it's my obligation for anyone wanting to get seriously good at mixing, to get their information from a real source.
Otherwise, you might as well be paying to go backwards. The wrong mentor or a bad "bet on a flier" can immediately turn someone away from this pursuit - forever. Makes sense. After all, if we touch a hot stove, we tend never to do it again. Thing is if we learn to use that stove, it can heat our homes for decades. There is a learning curve, and it requires effort to keep the fire burning. But the outcome is so rewarding. I'm inviting you to take this journey with me.

Here are some real comments our students have left inside the course!
I spent years figuring this out... so you don't have to.
From the years of studying in audio school, taking various mixing programs and coaching... from learning mixing through trial-and-error, and which plugins and software are worthwhile (and which are just fluff)... from every tutorial imaginable... it has cost me well over $25,000 to get to the point where I know what I know now. And I've poured every drop of these key insights into this program so that you never have to jump through the hoops that I did to get a great vocal sound. If you've ever heard the saying, a good program can "turn a decade into days", then you'll know what my mission has been in creating this for you. And this program won't cost anywhere near $25,000.
If I didn't believe in giving as a core value, it would probably feel wrong to give this away with such a low price tag to begin with. And to be honest, I don't know how long it will be before the price goes up again - because I keep adding updated modules to the course to pour as much value as I can into this. All updates which you get for free forever once you're inside.
If you're looking to take that next big step forward, and start getting actual results in your vocal mixes, I made this for you. I want to deliver you a rock-solid training that takes you through the entire process, step-by-step, taking out all the guesswork, and delivering as much value to you as I can.

With your investment, you will receive "The Modern Mixer Mindset" Exclusive Training, which is an incredible resource that will help tie the course together, as well as show you a glimpse into getting some momentum in your mixing career. This alone has a notable value - from individual coaching sessions, it would cost upwards of $250 to get through this material, but I'll be adding this course to your training completely for free if you join today!

- All 3 Core Modules of the Vocal Mixing Bootcamp program ($2500 Value)

If this sounds like the right fit for you, jump inside - we'll be glad to have you! :)
