I've spent 20 years as a producer and mixing engineer learning what works and what doesn't. Free tools, tutorials, articles, and a compression course, all built to help you actually hear what's happening in your recording, mix and master, not just memorise settings.
Starting points for every common source and compression goal, in a printable PDF. Keep it next to your DAW so you're not guessing mid-session.
Upload a track and split it into vocals, drums, bass, and more. Solo, mute, remix, or download stems.
Launch → MentorAI-powered mixing advice trained on 20 years of real-world engineering. Like a mix engineer in your pocket.
Launch → EQInteractive frequency spectrum with 20 instruments, masking detection, and mix diagnostics.
Open → MicExplore 9 polar patterns. Drag a source around the mic and watch the pickup change in real-time.
Open → CompSelect what you're compressing and what you want to achieve. Get settings based on real-world practice.
Open → LUFSLUFS levels, true-peak limits and normalisation for every platform. Music, film, podcasts, broadcast.
Open → VizWatch attack and release in real-time. Finally understand why a slow attack creates punch.
Open → FixPick your symptom, answer a few questions, get a specific fix. 72 endpoints across 10 symptom paths.
Open →Fast attack doesn't mean more punch; it means less. Learn the front-end / back-end framework that finally makes attack time click.
Squashed mix, lost punch, lifeless vocals. Diagnose compression problems by symptom, not by guessing what went wrong.
What to do before you book studio time. Preparation, rehearsal, and the things most bands forget.
What every songwriter needs to know about ownership, splits, and collecting the royalties you've earned.
-14 LUFS is a playback target, not a mastering target. What Spotify actually does to your track, and how loud to master.
Release decides whether your compression grooves or chokes. The tempo connection, and how to set it by ear.
Stop guessing, start hearing. The complete framework for understanding compression: not a list of settings to memorise, but a skill you develop by ear. Read the full course breakdown →
