Does this sound like you?

  • You’ve got tracks you want to mix... but every plugin and tutorial just adds to the confusion.

  • You followed the advice, watched the YouTube pros… but your mixes still sound muddy, thin, or just off and you can’t figure out why.

  • You’ve wasted hours tweaking knobs, chasing tone, second-guessing every setting only to end up with mixes that still don’t sound pro.

  • Your mixes either sound harsh, dull, or flat and no one explains why it’s happening… or how to fix it.

  • You’re stuck in a maze of mixing “rules,” tips, and conflicting advice with no idea what actually works.

If you’re nodding along, you’re not alone and you’re exactly who this was made for.

Let me show you how to get professional-sounding mixes using nothing more than the tools you already have.

I spent years trying to get my mixes to sound pro. Nothing worked.

I bought more plugins. I watched every tutorial I could find. I stacked EQs, compressors, reverbs—everything.

But my mixes still sounded muddy, thin, or harsh.

No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t fix it. I kept asking myself, why does my mix still sound bad?

It was exhausting. Every mix felt like guesswork. I was frustrated and stuck.

So I stopped chasing tricks… and started looking for what really works.

I went deep—studied at a pro audio school, worked with major producers like Beau Burchell, and coached thousands of students at the biggest school for rock and metal mixing.

And that’s when I saw the truth:

Most pros use the same tools you already have—just in a smarter way.

They don’t stack 20 plugins. They follow a system.

That system changed everything for me. I finally understood how to mix, not just what to do. I stopped guessing. I started getting results I was proud of.

That’s why I made The Mixing Blueprint for Beginners.

So you don’t have to waste years like I did. This course shows you how to make pro mixes using what you already have—no expensive gear, no plugin overload.

If you’re tired of mixes that don’t sound pro, I’ll show you a better way.

How you’ll start using the same pro mixing method even the pros don’t realize they’re using

  • Two simple mix hacks that instantly make your tracks sound tighter and more pro

  • The only tools and plugins you actually need to get results (hint: it’s way less than you think)

  • The #1 mistake that ruins most mixes—before you’ve even touched a plugin

  • Learn the truth about EQ, compression (most online advice is misleading—here’s what actually matters)

  • The real truth about EQ and compression (most YouTube advice skips this part entirely)

  • Which “mixing rules” are safe to ignore and which ones actually matter

  • Why most mixes fall apart halfway through—and how to keep yours glued together from the start

  • The one pro move that works like a safety net—even when everything else falls apart

  • A repeatable system you can use on any genre—so you can stop second-guessing every move

Student Testimonials

“John has the knowledge and experience to be able to discern exactly where a mix went wrong and the educational ability to deliver the lesson necessary to fix it in a way that’s easy to understand and implement. He was instrumental in helping me early on with understanding exactly how to get the low-end relationship between instruments to work together instead of becoming a muddy mess!”

Steven W. -Coaching Student

“John has been an integral part of my growth as a producer and mix engineer. His mentorship helped me level up my skills exponentially faster than I ever would have been able to on my own. His methods keep you encouraged and motivated to reach the next step of your journey. I owe a lot to John and I’m ever thankful for him and his investment in me.”

Scott B. -Coaching Student

“John is someone to trust when it comes to music production and mixing, he blew my mind with his methods for referencing, made me stop overthinking EQ moves and I'm actually better and faster with my moves now, he also hosted and created music production events that changed my life in the past, and whenever we had coaching calls he went straight to the point without a single second wasted, I'd say he'll bring up real big things to the music production realm (and I'd trust him more than any local band if he says "big things coming")”

Enrique D. -Coaching Student

“John has been an absolute game-changer in my journey as a mix engineer and producer. what truly sets John apart is his ability to teach and mentor. He possesses the rare gift of being able to demystify complex audio-engineering concepts and make them accessible and understandable. He patiently guides you through the process, breaking down intricate techniques into manageable steps, ensuring that you not only understand the 'how' but also the 'why.' Having John as a mentor has been a transformative experience for me and I am immensely grateful for his guidance and support.”
