    Justin hits the nail on the head every time when it comes to mixing techniques, learnable skills, and all around ethos of the audio community. Very informative and provides honest, productive feedback. If you are starting to mix or are a seasoned pro, there are delicious morsels of information to be found. Thanks JC!

    Justin knows how to. Exactly how to listen. I would venture beyond talent, more so a gift! To be able to mix mechanics with emotion. I dare anyone to complete his courses. Every career engineer can benefit from these. Thanks again!

  • He gives you confidence in yourself.

    Justin gives not only top technical advice, tools and examples, but perhaps most importantly: he gives you confidence in yourself.

    I also love his mix breakdowns of the world’s most popular and/or interesting tunes- popping the hood on how the best mixing/mastering engineers work their magic.

    Thank you Justin, top notch work!
