01 Meet Your Instructor

joelI’ve been a producer/mixer since 2003 and I’m thrilled to be your guide throughout this Fast Track.

I’ve worked with bands like Machine Head, Blessthefall, and Vinyl Theater among many many others. I typically mix and master up to 60 songs a month!

I’m also the co-founder of both Drumforge, a premium quality virtual drum instrument, and the URM Academy, which is educating the next generation of audio professionals.

When I got started mixing I quickly realized that if I wanted to be able to work with a high number of clients, and earn an income that allowed me to live my dream lifestyle while enjoying myself the whole time, I needed to develop a workflow that was efficient, effective, and very quick.

I learned that developing my ability to EQ things accurately and quickly vastly improved my mixes, as well as how long it took me to complete a mix. The better I got at EQ, the less of it I had to use!

In this fast track I’m going to show you our foundational LDFC method as well as how to develop your hearing, sweep EQs, apply conservative and extreme EQ, and a whole lot more.

EQ is one of the most powerful of all the audio processing tools and I intend to show you how to get the most out of it in your productions and mixes.
