Learning mixing systematically from the ground up
For complete beginners. Topics: signal flow and levels, EQ and filters, dynamics and compression, reverb and delay, stereo image, your first mix of your own.
You have watched many YouTube tutorials. Your mix still is not moving forward. At Tonstudio Leipzig you learn one topic in a fixed session from 3 hours.
YouTube shows individual tricks, but no system behind them. At Tonstudio Leipzig you get direct feedback on your own material.
You choose from six topics, at the studio or online. Unsure which one? A paid initial consultation settles that.
You pick one topic per session. For another topic, simply book a second session.
For complete beginners. Topics: signal flow and levels, EQ and filters, dynamics and compression, reverb and delay, stereo image, your first mix of your own.
For anyone with the basics who wants to go deeper. Topics: bus routing, sidechain and parallel compression, saturation, mid-side processing, stereo image tricks, moving into mastering.
For people mixing at home who no longer want external mastering on every release. Topics: frequency balance, stereo stability, loudness (LUFS, true peak), limiting without distortion, consistency across tracks, streaming standards.
For singer-songwriters and hobby singers with a home studio. Topics: microphone technique, room acoustics in a bedroom studio, recording strategy, editing, pitch correction, vocal effects.
Matched to your DAW: Reaper, Cubase, Ableton Live, FL Studio, Studio One, Bitwig or Reason. Topics: interface, recording and tracks, MIDI and virtual instruments, plugins, automation, mixing and bouncing.
For aspiring hobby producers who want to build their own beats. Topics: drum programming, bass lines, melodic elements, samples, arrangement, sound design, mix prep for vocals later.
No discount, no tiers. Which topic fits, we settle briefly beforehand.
You choose your topic and book a session from 3 hours on your own material. No contract, no binding. Another topic simply means another session.
Online courses give you lots of information, but little practice on your own material. At the studio it is different.
Instead of hopping from video to video, you spend 3 hours on one topic, until it really sits.
Time for explanation, trying things yourself, and direct feedback, instead of stopping a video halfway through.
I work on your real project, not a demo song. That way, what you learn actually sticks.
A little preparation gets you more from the very first minute.
Think briefly about your real goal: mixing, mastering, beat making or vocal recording.
You need your own DAW to keep working in. No DAW yet? Try the DAW basics topic first. Reaper is affordable and fully featured.
For mixing and mastering you need your own audio material, not textbook examples.
