This roadmap shows you exactly how to use this class so you get results without overwhelm.
Follow it in order.
🎯 WEEK 1 — LISTENING & BALANCE
Focus: Hearing before fixing
- Read the pinned lessons
- Lower your monitors or headphones
- Balance your mix using faders only
- Check your mix on a phone or small speaker
🎧 Goal:
You can clearly hear what’s too loud or too quiet.
🎯 WEEK 2 — MIDRANGE & CLARITY
Focus: Translation
- Check your mix in mono
- Listen for what disappears on small speakers
- Make small, intentional adjustments
- Submit one song to the Weekly Feedback Thread
🎧 Goal:
Your mix holds together on limited systems.
🎯 WEEK 3 — LOW END & CONTROL
Focus: Foundation
- Decide what drives the low end (kick or bass)
- Lower low-end elements before shaping
- Test in the car or headphones
- Apply feedback from your submission
🎧 Goal:
Low end supports the song instead of dominating it.
🎯 WEEK 4 — DECISIONS & CONFIDENCE
Focus: Repeatability
- Stop chasing “perfect”
- Commit to decisions
- Listen across systems
- Submit an updated mix only if needed
🎧 Goal:
You trust your ears more than your plugins.
🧠 HOW TO GET THE MOST VALUE
- Apply one idea at a time
- Ask specific questions
- Re-listen before re-posting
- Learn from others’ submissions
Consistency beats intensity.
📌 FINAL REMINDER
This class isn’t about speed.
It’s about understanding.
If your mix translates on a small speaker, you’re doing it right.
