In short: YES!
In this masterclass we will be mixing a jazz trio, but even if you are mixing pop or other genres, you can benefit from this masterclass as all the techniques are valid for other genres as well. Mixing acoustic instruments in a nice way is kind of the king's discipline, because you want to keep the quality that is already there in the recording, but you still have to enhance it. This is often more difficult than mixing instruments in a pop song, where you can always create something new. 

I will be going into great detail about the various aspects of mixing. However, I assume that you already have some experience with tools such as EQ, compressors, or reverb, as well as some knowledge of automation. If you are a beginner, you may still find value in this course, but I will not cover the basics of the tools we use.

We mix the song once in the analog domain and once in the digital domain. In the digital mix, I use only plug-ins, except for the reverb, which in this session was just the Bricasti M7 reverb digitally connected to ProTools. For the analog mix, I used both, plug-ins and, of course, a variety of analog outboard gear. I also used other reverbs, including the Lexicon 480, 960, and again the Bricasti.

Sure. For one thing, we mix the song twice, once analog and once all digital. With each mix you can generally decide if you want a more euphonic, processed sound or if you want to go in a more natural direction. This is independent of the system you're mixing on. For the analog mix, I went for a more processed sound. For the digital version, I went for a more natural sound. If you only mix digitally and want a more euphonic sound, you can transfer what I do in the analog domain almost 1:1 to the digital domain, for example by working with emulated plug-ins. 
However, it might also be interesting for you to see if it might be beneficial to invest in some analog outboard gear or not. Many mixers who have gone from analog mixing to ITB have taken at least one step back by adding some analog outboard gear to the busses or mix bus. There is no right or wrong these days, just pros and cons. 

The course is designed to be software- & hardware agnostic, so you can apply the principles regardless of the tools you use.You should have accurate monitors or at least decent headphones.

When you are on your way to becoming a professional, there are always two important aspects: theory and practice. In my teaching, I strongly advocate not mixing these two aspects too drastically. Instead, I have created the Bibles for conceptual learning. After going through the Bibles, you will have a much better understanding of the subjects and gain deep knowledge. I add only as many practical examples as necessary to understand the ideas and concepts. Then it is up to you to take what you have learned and apply it.

If you were to watch all the videos and read the numerous text files once, it would take at least 5 to 7 hours. However, I strongly recommend that you delve deeper into the content, pause the videos from time to time, and actively experiment with what you have learned on your own. 

You access the course over this site. Just bookmark it. It's not possible to download the course, so you must have an internet connection. This is due to restrictions of the video provider. 

It's the CADAC G Recording Console installed at Scorpio Sound Studio, London in 1974. This console was used to produce Queen's 'Bohemian Rhapsody'. The CADAC G series is known as one of the best sounding consoles in the world, especially for jazz.

While the YouTube lesson offers a glimpse of some tips and tricks along with a sneak preview of some theory, it's impossible to comprehensively explain the paradigms of the vast topics of sound engineering in these short videos. The paid courses provide a uniquely tailored learning experience that takes you further in your understanding. While YouTube videos can provide inspiration, they fall short of providing a true education and substantial knowledge gain.

Acoustic music mixing is my absolute specialty and I've been doing it for over 30 years. But because I've also been teaching audio engineering at two universities for more than 20 years, I've found ways to explain these challenging topics in a way that students can understand. This combination is rare.

No! They have nothing in common. MWTM (or also Pure Mix) is great if you want to have access to a lot of videos and information. And it can be an inspiration to see so many top Engineers at one place, to watch how they work, and you get some tips and tricks. My courses are dedicated mixing learning experiences with a concept. This comment from a Mixing Bible user sums it up:
"After two decades of mixing experience, I found myself yearning for a profound insight into the essence of crafting an exceptional mix. My quest for enlightenment led me through various courses, including MWTM, but alas, they fell short. Then, I stumbled upon your online courses – a game-changer! Thanks for revolutionizing my approach to mixing!"

Yes, unlike the Bibles, we do start-to-finish mixes in the Revelations courses!

Yes, many of the lessons have accompanying text documents that provide reviews and even more in-depth information to enhance your understanding.

There is no refund policy. However, the first lesson is free of charge so that you can try out the content of the course and see if you like my way of teaching before you make a decision. In fact, since I have been in the online course business, I have not received a single e-mail from a user asking for a refund :-)
