What is Professional Mixing Mastermind?
Professional Mixing Mastermind is a live, online, five week coaching experience with multi-platinum, Grammy-winning record producer and mixing expert Mike Mangini.
This program offers an unprecedented amount of individualized attention on YOUR TRACKS.
You'll share your screen and audio each week for coaching, guidance and challenges from Mike so that you can transform your mixing skills and integrate each lesson into your work forever.
Here's how Mike has structured this experience for his selected applicants:
Each Thursday, Mike will teach a specific mixing concept, and then you'll have a chance to apply that week's lesson to your own project.
Mike will show you how he approaches each aspect of the mixing process while explaining the underlying thinking behind each choice he makes.
Instead of teaching a formula to follow, he will make sure you know how to make those critical choices for each track you are working on.
The following Tuesday, you will present your work to Mike to get individualized coaching, ask questions, and make sure you're achieving the results you are striving for!
"You will have total confidence that your mixes are going to be competitive with what's out there."

“Music Career Mastermind answers all the questions I used to have as a young aspiring musician. It gives artists a chance to move forward with their careers by establishing their own road map to success. It's also a place where you're able to collaborate and hear feedback in real time which certainly helps get through the inevitable writer's block since you're enveloped by a community of people who are just as driven as you...
I'm just so happy it exists now for creatives who deserve a chance to learn the honest truth and be able to grow without being hindered by the myths of the music industry.
Music Career Mastermind is the inner voice you need to tell yourself: I got this! My music needs to be heard! I am an artist that is in control of my career and nothings going to stop me from doing what I love!"

I've been a part of the Mastermind family for about three years now, and I wouldn't be as focused and confident with my path if I didn't have their guidance along the way. I am forever grateful to the Mastermind team for fostering a community that encourages growth and compassion which has allowed me to grow as an artist, musician, and person. After completing the program, I just couldn't get enough of the information and people I was surrounded by, so l immersed myself in other programs. The knowledge I've gained from all of these programs alone is worth every penny, but the connections I've made with instructors and fellow students are simply priceless.
