Hi There!
Welcome to the Mixing and Mastering Department at Next Level Sound.
Regardless of your level or experience, I always recommend that you start your Mixing and Mastering Training with Mixing Foundations.
The 4-Course Program is designed to give you a complete and integrated training in Mixing and Mastering, so you can get your tracks ready for commercial release.
In Mixing Foundations we take a deep dive into the fundamentals of saturation, EQ, compression, reverb, gain structure management and workflow.
You can use any DAW you like and any set of plugins.
You can take this course as a video self-study course or as Live Training or do both -- whatever is easiest for you.
And you get instant lifetime access to the course.
In Mixing Foundations you will also learn my approach to engineering in general. How to get to the your taste zone as quickly and efficiently as possible.
And it's designed as a system! Once students learn the system, their mixes improve rapidly. Yours will too.
So enroll in Mixing Foundations and I will see you in class and at the Open Office Hours to help you with your mixing and mastering and works-in-progress.
See you soon.

MIXING FOUNDATIONS COURSE DETAILS
Hi, thanks for looking into the details!
Mixing Foundations is the first course in the Program.
Regardless of your experience level I really recommend you start here.
Some people skip Mixing Foundations, only to go back later and take the course.
Mixing Foundations is a very in-depth exploration of the fundamentals of mixing.
I usually joke that it's the hardest course in the Mixing and Mastering Program -- just because everything after it seems easy. ;)

Here's What My Students Are saying...
"Before I started the course I thought I knew already a lot of things over all those years I’ve been doing productions. But already after lesson 1 I realised I was doing the same “mistakes” everyone does. So I’m very happy that I followed these courses because it gave me a workflow which I can stick too and which make my production, mixing and mastering a lot quicker and much more efficient!"
TOM HADES

"Finally a course that really shows the techniques to get that professional warm and fat sound I was aiming for. Danny’s cool and encouraging attitude has helped me to transform my music and take it to a totally different level. The best part for me was to mix a track before class and then see Danny mix the exact same track. This plus the possibility to ask questions during the course and for 1 hour per week during office hours, made mixing foundations a priceless experience."

"I have been studying with Daniel Wyatt and using his techniques now for several years. I was really excited when Hardwell played one of my early tracks — and now Tiesto! Danny keeps me up-to-date with all of his new techniques and workflows — and it’s made all of the difference in my sound"
