I mean I could barely stop myself from grinning when I played it back! This was gonna blow people away when they heard it – and I could not WAIT for them to hear it! I just had to do one final check against a reference to make sure levels were set and then I would let loose this amazing creation upon the world and wait for the compliments and awed reactions to roll in!Except, what happened in reality was.. well let’s say.. a little different than what I’d envisioned.When I A/B’d the mix against the reference – a killer mix by a well-known mixer who only worked in big money studios.. something was still missing. I dunno, I couldn’t pinpoint it exactly in the moment but I absolutely knew it right away when I heard it. It wasn’t quite there. Next to the mix I was referencing, it felt flat.. thin.. lifeless?Just about then is when a sort of – panic, yes I think it would qualify as a panic – set in. I’ve been doing this a long time! I’ve studied hard, bought gear! Spent hours upon hours working in the studio, perfecting technique.. only to fall short, again?! Nobody was going to be blown away by this mix, that was for sure. Would they even finish listening to it? Ugh. My stomach dropped.That was the moment.I needed a break. Not one of those “step outside and collect yourself” kind of breaks. I mean, like, some real time away. Self-doubt was creeping in, big time, and I needed to get a plan. Either that, or I needed to give up on ever being able to get the sound I wanted so badly to get from my studio. It sounds melodramatic, I know! But that’s how much recording means to me.37 days. That’s how long I didn’t set foot in my studio. Toward the end of that stretch, I started getting the itch. And I couldn’t help but do what I always do in times like this – try to find out, to learn more. Off to the gear sites I went – maybe there was a magic bullet here? Then, the discussion boards. And that’s where I first heard about it – a DAW that sounds like hardware. Harrison Mixbus. Being an engineer, it’s in my nature to be skeptical – and I was. Plenty of software claims to sound like expensive analog hardware. But, what the heck, I thought. I could give it a try to see what the hype was about. That’s what got me back into my studio.One try was all it took. As soon as I loaded in tracks from my Used to Be Best Mix Ever, it was obvious. The difference was night and day. The sound I’d been looking for, it was right there! My old mix had console emulation plugins, tape saturation plugins, analog eq emulations – all great sounding stuff. The new Mixbus mix had.. Mixbus. And it won, hands down. And it seemed to come together so much more quickly and intuitively.I immediately set out to learn how to use this thing.. but it was a little daunting. I’d come up on DAWs, not hardware, so strange as it seems, the analog console workflow was foreign to me! I soon discovered some great resources by Harrison and others detailing the usage of certain functionality.. But what I really wanted was for someone to connect the dots and show me how to use this great-sounding tool to mix. Like in a real mix, from start to finish.That’s what this course is.

I had no idea then that the recording arts would become a consuming interest and passion in my life. Back then, it was just a means to an end. But somehow, years later, when I purchased my first budget microphone and audio interface, a spark was lit that would quickly grow into a raging fire. I became virtually obsessed with learning how to make recordings that sounded as good as the ones coming out of commercial studios using only the humble gear in my modest home studio.After much diligent study and practice – and more than a few gear upgrades – I began getting serious results, as well as requests from other artists to record them and help them realize their musical visions. Along the way I found I had another passion… a passion to share the knowledge & skill I’d worked so hard to acquire and to use it to help others achieve recordings they could be proud of. So I created Write.Sing.Record. as a way to do what I find to be very rewarding work – helping others to make great recordings regardless of the type of gear they own.I consider training and teaching to be a great responsibility, so I put a lot of thought and planning into the design of courses and put the hours in to make the presentation clear and engaging. I focus on the practical, and do my best to share the content that really matters for getting great real world results. I hope you can feel the difference when you take my courses!Please feel free to reach out with any questions or comments at [email protected] !Course CurriculumMake Brilliant Mixes Now with Harrison MixbusIntroduction1.
